RedRaw Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Would be interesting to put some weighting on that list in relation to the mileage travelled to give it a bit of balance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never to the dark side Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I know what your saying,but there are only two teams in the top eight that are in the central area of the Country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidercity1987 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 I count 7 of the top 8 that are very central to the majority of other teams in this very Northern league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep and they tend to have large stadiums up there which means more allocation. Like when Sheff U go to Sheff W. Probably take 4k which would significantly up their avg for the year. Swansea one of out closest but still 2 hours each way. Also small ground that we bought all our allocation but just under 2k. Brentford is another like that. Then another we usually travel well to is West Brom but on a Tuesday evening so won’t reach its max. Not sure Bristol City will ever top those charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUSSEL85 Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Think 13th is very reasonable for our fan base and location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderingred Posted September 13, 2018 Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Figures are pretty skewed at this stage of the season when only 3 away games have been played. For instance, Bolton are third because they took about 5000 to Preston, which is about 20 miles away! Whereas other teams haven't had any local games yet. You can't read anything into it until the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure Bristol City will ever top those charts Taking a 4K following to a local derby will only increase each games average by 181 people. If their figures are good, then it’s because they consistently take good numbers. Of course the odd extra big followings help, but not as much as the regularity of far more local fixtures than we enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also sold their 2700 allocation for their opening game at WBA, as you’d expect, with more local games to come at Wigan, Blackburn etc i’d Expect their average to stay fairly high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season we attracted on average 1,582 away fans and took an average of 1,244...so you could say we have a deficit of 338 fans. In previous seasons we've published this information on the OS https://www.bcfc.co.uk/fanzone/away-days/away-days-201718/ but I can't see the page for 2018/19 yet.

I'd like to see the stat you're suggesting for all clubs for last season. As well as what you're saying, it would also show home fans average attendance for each team (I know it's tickets sold not actual attendance). My hunch is that we get less away fans at Ashton Gate than a lot of others as we're further away and give a fairly low allocation (and probably not all that attractive a game). I think this would push us up a place or two versus the standard attendance stats but be a reasonable way of looking at average attendances that as far as I'm aware never gets done.

Never to the dark side Posted September 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2018 Just a couple of observations You can get back to Leeds or Manchester from London after a night game But you can't get back to London after a night game from Leeds or Manchester Reason is because the repair depots are are at Leeds and Manchester This is why I would prefer long distance trips on Saturdays and mid week games of no more than 120 miles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree that it’s not accurate at this stage of the season....having said that, Bolton took just over 4,000 to PNE - let’s leave the rounding up to the sags! Although to be fair, Bolton have also had a 400 mile (ok, 391) round trip to Reading and a 200 mile (ok, 185) round trip to WBA....but you’re right, such stats are meaningless at this stage of the season...

I saw our youth squad play at Newquay and wrote a report on, I think, this forum. The prompt has made me dig out the programme 1 August 2001: Academy Manager: Tony Fawthrop Assistant Director: Peter Amos Assistant Director: Alan Walsh Squad: David Blake, Martin Brown (I guess Marvin), Andrew Burke, Ben Cleverly, Simon Dew, Jamie Edwards, Clayton Fortune, Stuart Gibbs, Darren Hawkins, Dean Lindsay, Kayode Odejayi, Marc Palmer, James Pike, Danny Platt, Liam Rosenoir, Aarran Shanahan, Ben Trace, Craig Woodman. It shows how hard the game is when of those only Liam Rosenoir and Craig Woodman had decent professional careers AFAIK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odejayi had his moments, albeit sporadically....scoring the winner for Barnsley to knock Chelsea out of the FAC, but you’re right, not huge success.
