I'd put us at around 16th on the away followings list, which means 1k plus for an 8 hour round trip is alright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Italian trains are fantastic - cost, punctuality, quality of trains themselves and the amount places they service are all fantastic. . Must be heavily subsidised but the difference beteeen their service and ours is embarrassing really. £100 return to Preston is just a massive piss take!

We’re on our best run in this division for yonks and we can barely muster 5% of our home gates past Birmingham ffs. It costs too much money, simply as that some people would rather not spend up to 150 quid when money is tight bills to pay etc etc, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nonsense, people have other priorities in life and the cost of football especially when watching your team away is expensive. It’s a fact like every other team if you get a big cup draw away from home a larger following will attend. People will see that type of game as a one off and more justifiable. If we beat wolves or Shrewsbury next week and draw Man Utd / city or Chelsea away then we will take a large away following. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know several City fans who I know for a fact could afford to go up Saturday but seldom travel past Brum, perhaps Nottingham at a push. If we were playing Brum Saturday we’d sell out 2,600 in the form we’re in, the match tickets are pretty much the same price and the train’s an extra £15-20. Lets stop dressing it up as anything other than poor support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs with 20k home average and under who would take more away fans on a similar length journey, 6th in the league, very long unbeaten run: Swansea Cardiff (talking home attendances in this league) Plymouth FFS Portsmouth Birmingham Blackburn Preston Ipswich Watford Burnley Huddersfield That's just off the top of my head and not including any team other than Brum with more home fans than us.
