I don’t really think the league matters, it’s more so the form. We took 5000 to MK Dons in League One when we were flying high. I doubt we’d take 1/3 of that to Watford if we were bottom of the Prem.

I just think that we have generally more attractive fixtures and are generally taking twice as many fans to them which goes against the original assertion that we take broadly the same away fans to games as the scruffy fewers. That really is not the case as is demonstrated and can be demonstrated consistently over time, including when we played at the same level as them.

Agree.

In fairness you would expect 2500 away fans to make more noise than the home fans at most games. Many times when we’ve had 2500+ at away matches I’ve read comments about us making more noise than the home fans (even when we’ve had less than that).

Atmosphere is dire at times at AG though.

The atmosphere v Man Utd was pretty good.  It’s nothing to do with the new stadium or where fans are sitting, it’s about the dire performances served at home for a number of years which kill the atmosphere. If we are playing great and scoring goals then the atmosphere will be good.

Colchester away on a Tuesday night...that's a big test for the "we take huge numbers everywhere, massive away support, we will take 1 to 2k everywhere, bigger than Norwich, Fulham etc, best away support in the land, its what we do" and all the other statements they make about their average away support, still big night for Colchester must be their first cup final for a while.

We probably took more away on Tuesday than some teams take supporters in total across the whole season.
 

 

Anyone know how many thousands they took to Colchester?

The attendance at the match was 2,069 of which 237,000 were from Bristol.

 

Over 1,200 watched on telly (this of course could be any amount from 1,200 to infinity)

Bigger club compared to most?

Forest, Derby, Sheffield Utd, Boro, Birmingham City, Coventry, West Brom, Stoke, Fulham are all bigger clubs. You could argue that Huddersfield, Blackburn are as well. We’re not ‘bigger’ than QPR, Swansea, Cardiff, Preston, Hull, Barnsley and Millwall. Bournemouth have recent Premier League history.

What does that leave us with?

 

I have to agree with POHH here. At this level apart from a cup run, you have to go back to 2008 for some relative success. The majority of the clubs in our leageue have played in the Premier League or had play offs or cup success. So I think our support is fine

Pretty much every person involved in the singing section on this forum complained bitterly about how poor the sound was from the Atyeo when they were in there, now we have people moaning they want to go back?

Anyway, going back to the Bradford City away attendance, fair play if they can get close to it but I doubt the team will match the performance on the pitch.

 

When was the last time City ‘ ran riot ‘ ?

Attendance: 2,069 (257 Bristol Rovers fans).
 

Colchester fans seem to have forgotten that this was actually a Cup Final as it was, by some way, their lowest home attendance of the season.

In all fairness many Rovers fans will have stayed home to go to the intermediate manual prepreg techniques course at Emersons Green
