Considering we are a league below and in poor form  and our nearest away game is Wycombe, we still take more than Millwall (near top of championship) do away (so far).

    So this confirms Sheff Weds are indeed MASSIVE.

    If only there were some Millwall fans on this forum to argue against this....

    I assume that those big numbers for Wednesday and Derby were at MK Dons. No stadium in the Championship would have that number of seats available for away fans!

    Still quite a poor effort from us. Especially considering we have nearly 10k prepared to go to Old Trafford on a Tuesday night. Don’t think we even sold out Wycombe and we were actually doing alright in the league back then so us being shit isn’t an excuse

    Yes Killer.
    we were drinking in a boozer in Tamworth on the way to Burton and there was a group of Derby in there on their way to Mk said they'd shifted a couple of tickets

    Burton is the most central club in our division! We have a lot of Southwest representation, but nobody that far north either, seeing that we don't have any of the Cumbrian clubs (both in L2) or the Northeast ones.

    Not great numbers for us but of our 12 away games so far, 5 have been midweek games and none of them were local. We’re not a big club and never claim to be (or care) but that’s going to put a dent in our away attendance average. And 2 of those were televised. Pretty sure our average away attendance will pick up in the second half of the season.

    I think ordinarily our respective away support is pretty similar. You like us haven't had any local derbies to up the averages. Who have you had this season with bigger away support? 

    Our season average will artificially look higher after next week if cup games get included. 
    We've taken just over 10,000 away in total this season, so add in the 9500 next week and the average will be artificially higher.

    Plymouth's support is incredible.

    What really pisses me off about those tables is that positive percentages are in red and negative percentages are in green.

    It's not a fair comparison because banning orders have cut away 70% of their support

    Our fixture list has been front loaded with the more northern games - Derby, Peterborough and MKD is as far north as is left, although Plymouth is hardly local. I’d expect our numbers to go up too.

    Can we see our average away attendance from 11 years ago when Chris Powell was manager and we won the league.
    Just to make ourselves feel better

    In my opinion, our current away support is really good compared to the eighties when we would take the same couple of hundred around the country.

    But almost 50% of our away games have been midweek, and the most local of those was Birmingham. The others were Swansea, Burnley, Rotherham and Norwich, which was televised and during a rail strike.

    Do you lot have to have memberships and buy your tickets beforehand, or can you pay on the door at most places?

    Generally, they roll out a red carpet for us, and serve us tea in their best china, what with us being civilised and all.

    We don't have to collect our tickets, and a police escort up at the service station.  I don't remember police helicopters filming bus loads of fans getting to a game either 🤷

    Mostly advance tickets but usually find they are available on the day too.

    Indeed, but my point is both will probably improve. We’ve still got to go to Derby, MK (midweek), Posh, Exeter, Ipswich, Cheltenham, Bristol Rovers, Cambridge, Plymouth and FGR (midweek but new ground). Only Morecambe (rearranged), which I’d forgotten altogether tbh, will be relatively poor.

    To be fair to them it's difficult to get day release just for a football game.

    In terms of the distance they travel it is, but they're top of the league so it's expected they'd take good numbers away. I'm more impressed with Bristol Rovers and Port Vale, they both average less than 9k at home but are taking over 1k away.
