Numero Uno Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 This season so far maybe ? Leeds took 6,800 to Blackburn I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChippenhamRed Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I reckon the best way to judge away support would be: Distance travelled in miles x attendance = "fan miles" (I'm making it up as I go along) Leeds to Blackburn is only 57 miles. 57 x 6800 = 387,600 fan miles Bristol to MK Dons is 107 miles. 107 x 5109 = 546,663 fan miles So we win!

Using your formula Hartlepool taking 88 fans to Plymouth probably win hands down!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hartlepool to Plymouth is 387 miles according to google maps. I've just worked out they would have to take 1,413 there to beat us using my formula!!! To be fair that would be a good effort!

Chivs Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 I reckon the best way to judge away support would be: Distance travelled in miles x attendance = "fan miles" (I'm making it up as I go along) Leeds to Blackburn is only 57 miles. 57 x 6800 = 387,600 fan miles Bristol to MK Dons is 107 miles. 107 x 5109 = 546,663 fan miles So we win! That's indisputable. Except 6k Cambridge to Manure. Therefore, I'd like to add a further factor into the "away support" equation. Multiple the "fan miles" total by the position of the home team in the Football pyramid giving the "real fan miles" total. Cambridge: 6k * 151 * 4 = 3624000 Bristol City: 5.1k * 107 * 47 = 25647900 Oh, we seem to win. Again. PS CBA to do Leeds to Blackburn. But we win. Again.

I like it Chivs. Only problem with your modification is that if someone took a minibus-full to Rovers, they would smash it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point. Well made. But, has anyone actually taken a minibus to a Rovers game? Quieten down at the back, Robbored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet they don't average 6k at HOME games, and as it's the Cup, factor in a minus tariff for "glory hunters" ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted February 8, 2015 Report Share Posted February 8, 2015 Fair play all that went. My nephew-in-law, a 6 year old who was sobbing inconsolably into the settee arm after us losing vs West Ham absolutely loved it! (Only wished we scored so he could've witnessed a 5000 strong cider army losing their shit first hand, but that doesn't matter). We are Bristol City. We are the People.

Leeds are absolute shit in every sense of the word.. We, however are having one of our best seasons ver. So I think, by all accounts they do win.

ciderup Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 As part of the 5k, I was immensely proud to be a City fan yesterday. 5K+ away in division 3 is simply an awesome effort and it wasn't just 'up the road'. Well done to the other 5108, we did our club proud yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
