ColeCiderRed Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Something I've just seen on Twitter. Not bad at all, when you consider we have to cover some distance in comparison to the so called 'bigger'clubs. Not that I obsess about away figures like our blue few friends, thought I'd share it with you if you're interested.

GrahamC Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 About right, 3 smallest clubs in the league are Burton, Wigan and Cardiff.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Some good figures for Preston there - nearly 600 more than Blackburn when you`d expect them to be broadly similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Very impressed with those figures considering the dross that has been served up home and away this season, I think if we were around the top 6 you could add at least another 500 to those numbers, I tend to pick away games these days more for the day out than anything else but if we were pushing for promotion I would certainly be making an effort to make many more away games.

weepywall Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 What I don't understand and correct me if I'm wrong but Sheff Weds shortest trip is 8 miles so who is that against as no Yorkshire team has a trip that is only 8 miles the other way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 When you compare the two tables it's clear to see those with the shortest distances have the highest averages with one or two exceptions. In both tables us Reading and Fulham find ourselves in simular positions, coincidence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read what I said. They had one of the lowest averages until they played Blackburn which boosted it a lot. 1) Cardiff is 50 miles, not 10 miles. 2) Cardiff never have, and never will allocate us more than 2k....

RedM Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Didn't Huddersfield have cheap season tickets this year? That and their league position probably helped fans to travel. I think QPR is one of the most expensive season tickets, so probably not a lot spare for away matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though it's apparently 12 miles from Rotherham to Barnsley, but only 11 miles going the other way! Plus, if I were a betting man I'd say it's less distance from Oakwell to Hillsborough than Oakwell to the New York Stadium. Similarly, it seems to be a mile further to go from Newcastle to Brighton than from Brighton to Newcastle. I'm not sure the person who made that table put a great deal of thought into it...

Cardiff is just over 40 miles, leave the rounding up to the gas. Without the Blackburn game, PNE's average would have been 1,322 - so not one of the lowest... Oh, and we took more than 2k to Cardiff last time we played there... http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/city-reach-full-cardiff-allocation-3355629.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Rotherham to Wigan is one hour 38 minutes according to the route planning sites, Barnsley to Blackburn is one hour 30 minutes, Huddersfield to Wolverhampton is two hours 20 minutes....but such detail doesn't really matter, the claim by the other poster was that the Yorkshire club's can get to 'most of their away games in half an hour' - I just pointed out that was incorrect with examples of their away fixtures.

I wonder how many set off from Leeds to away games? I'm London based now so make the London games and Even Reading is easier from where I am. Although home games always feel like an away game for me. The travel and the excitement is still there even when you get that feeling we are going to get smashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I know, my point was that PNE sold out an allocation of over 6k for a local game. We don't always sell out our allocations at Cardiff - in 2010/11 we only took just over 600 and even in the glorious charge to the championship play off final we only took 1,700.... so I'm not sure we would take 6,000 if we were allocated it...
