    Average away attendance

    3rd from bottom, averaging 849, below the bumbles and foolham
    I must away now, I can no longer tarry
    This morning's tempest I have to cross
    I must be guided without a stumble
    Into the arms I love the most

    The fact we get an average of 849 is amazing, these people will nearly always watch the team, lose, play #### football, lay down and give up if they go behind and play a type of football that is beyond pathetic.

    Looking other teams forums after away games,we are nearly always called the worse team to visit this season.

    So why anyone goes to away games beats me, can only b to go on the lash.

          I have seen this as well. Though the numbers show just 350 odd at a couple of places. No idea if that is right? Being 3rd bottom is poor no matter what and justifying it as us being poor is basically saying glory hunting is okay.

            Be interesting to see that at the end of the season - as midway through can give a skewed perception depenign on away games you've had. For example, we still have pretty much all of our 'closer' away games to come; Brentford, Fulham, Villa, Wolves & Reading.

            Can't see us ending up below either Fulham or Brentford tbh - but still quite a poor showing tbh.

              I would imagine away trips to Fulham and Brentford will get the average numbers up.
              I think our away support is generally ok and especially so given our record.
              Away attendance per away point would be an interesting stat. I bet we would be top of that

              Edit, Snap!
              I have just seen Matty made the same point whilst I was posting

                      Fulham yeah, Brentford no. Brentford will of course sell out, but 80% of clubs sell it out and it isn't a high turn out. Fulham we should take 4k which will help.

                      Barnsley at 350 away is a #### one. Fulham took 1k (obv they are flying high) but a lot of teams are taking 3-5 k there. Reading we need to be pushing 3k there to help a lot.

                      After a two month sabbatical it’s time for another update on this blog THE CHAMPIONSHIP Well all bar Bolton have played 15 away games so far this season so the figures are now showing even mo…

                        But if you look at the clubs in this division there is a midlands/northern bias. It is very different going to Barnsley from Sheffield, Leeds, Wolves etc than it is from London. Fulham is a good comparison I agree and it is disappointing being behind them.

                          If the club showed a bit more enthusiasm for away games then the fans might also.

                            I know its not exactly one for the family fans , but the fact we didnt completely sell Millwall out surprised me , the first time in recent history . Still must have been quite a few chaps who didnt fancy it. Always a good atmosphere there.

                              Didnt we only get 750 tickets for Wolves this weekend? How many have we sold? Can't see that boosting our average or Brentford for obvious reasons. The other 3 we should have good turnouts I agree.
