Abraham Romanovich Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Away Fan Averages Just found this on another website and thought I'd share.

Riaz Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 No surprise - we have become very easy to beat away from home, in recent years. Away games arent fun anymore (not for me anyways) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodbarmyarmy Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Averaged over 23 games I would think it is about correct The stats are on the OS...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Seems about right- 2 away games I managed to get to, Palace and Preston didn't look like the away ends filled by any means. Able to get away ticket on the day, no bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Hardly a suprise. How so? We may have had a disappointing enough season but there are those who finished below us, who arguably underachieved in a bigger way who had bigger away followings.

Monkeh Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 support across the football league dropped by 6%, the fact that we had more away games midweek then in previous seasons and we are in the middle of the biggest recession since the 80's has to also be taken into account, Take the 176 that want to Norwich A, it was a monday night b its one of our furthest away games c it was on sky, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I've never thought we are a big club, bigger than the gas of course, but that's not saying very much! True. Above League One level, I see no measure by which we can be classed as abig club. None. Let's see: JPT/LDV etc apart, no major trophy- by which I mean League Cup upwards. Only 4 years post war in the top flight- indeed no more than 15 in our entire history I think. Gates in the 14k-15k bracket even at this level, and now the whole surprisingly low away fans thing.

ateyomike Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 perhaps it might be an ideal to see how the north south divide in the championship works out for donnie if there are a lot mmore north of say birmingham then its easier for them to get to went to few away games last season last one was barnsley for my sins was going to go to derby but the long journey from barnsley put me off well lerant my lesson now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 I couldn't argue at our average figure - but I would be surprised if Leeds had an average of almost 3,500. Not because they couldn't/wouldn't take that many, but simply because looking down that list of clubs, there are not that many that would provide that number of seats for away fans, surely..?

bcfc_Jamie Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 not a suprise, poor season. managed to get to 14 myself but with the recession and all it's been hard times for everyone so hopefully a few more city fans will be going to more away games as the likes of west ham, blackpool, birmingham, brighton and southampton have all joined our league.

Bris Red Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 It goes to show how fickle are support is, in 07/08 we would have been top surely? Or at least in the top 4?

Mclovin BS14 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Not a suprise at all! All the teams at the top are either big clubs or have about 30 miles to get to an away match! our closest away games are cardiff and reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Why don't clubs' official websites have the "Away Days" section under match details anymore. It used to be interesting no know what different teams away support was and the %'age of the overall crowd. Well, not that interesting, but as it links to this topic...!!

Bris Red Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Really?! That is the Reading that got to the play off final, and have a bigger average home gate than us.....? This is Reading a club that struggled to get 5 or 6 thousand at Elm park not so long ago. We are a much bigger club than them so yes it is embarassing.

Red-Robbo Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's worth remembering that - other than Cardiff where away attendance is low for non-football reasons - we don't really have many near neighbours in the division. If you take Donny, they have local derbies with Leeds; Sheffield Utd; Hull and S****horpe - all very easy to get to. It's a doddle for them to get to the East Midlands club in the division too. When you look at the numbers most clubs brought to AG they were (generally) a fraction of those average figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Red Posted June 1, 2011 Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 At the end of the day we all know what are fan base is capable of when we are on a decent run. We have no problems at all taking 3 or 4 thousand regularly to away games. We do have a very fickle fan base though as ive already said.. It does take a lot to stir the fans of Bristol City but every now and again you do see the potential, 07/08 for example taking 3,000 to Charlton on a Tuesday night..

But to below the likes of Doncaster and Reading really is an embarrassment Think Leeds would have perhaps been above us had they been in the League even in 07/08. They're top by nearly 1,500 on their nearest challenger. Yes though, we do have a certain fickle element in our support- that is surely beyond doubt.
