Early average League 2 away followings. With Exeter, Yeovil, Plymouth and Crawley all coming up in the next few weeks, I'm sure our average will drop quite dramatically. Most teams have played 4 away games.

    1378 Luton
    1015 Grimsby
    984 Carlisle
    956 Portsmouth
    725 Plymouth
    695 Doncaster
    558 Wycombe
    540 Blackpool
    492 Cambridge
    464 Colchester
    414 Leyton Orient
    377 Notts County
    332 Exeter
    320 Barnet
    253 Cheltenham
    252 Crewe
    242 Mansfield
    230 Stevenage
    218 Yeovil
    211 Crawley
    186 Newport
    152 Morecambe
    127 Hartlepool
    98 Accrington

    473 overall average

"Another club who'll bring less than 100 away fans. "

Soz ard, Pompey.

;)

Ours will be a to higher after Mansfield and Donny , we'd need to be in the mix to maintain it for the rest of the season though

Carlisle looks an awesome number given every game is a long way for them. Nearest Morecambe?

They had 2752 at Blackpool last Saturday!

They also have Blackpool, which they took about 2k to last week.

Thought Hartlepool was massive lol

Quoted from Theimperialcoroner

Notts is very poor

agreed, especially with a big city and large population, central location, good transport links etc.

I guess some people must support both Nottm teams and only go to home games?

Just just shows why our amazing fans deserve this league as a minimum. Hartlepool should be ashamed of those figures.

Should be looking to take 1k to Cambridge in a few weeks and possibly sell out Doncaster though 3.3k could be a decent ask of us

We will easily take 3300 to Doncaster! This support is rocking!

To get a real picture of away support you would have to factor in the distances travelled.

Luton (as expected) have a good following but i would guess will travel a lot less than the Mariners. Makes our support even more impressive in another southern dominated league..

And you have to applaud Carlisle's support. They probably have further to travel than anyone. Good turnout at Blackpool last week for one of their nearer fixtures but so far their travels include Pompey, Cambridge & Barnet.

I will be part of the 1600 at Mansfield on Saturday and you have to think we would have taken well in excess of 2000 if we had got more tickets.

I am already looking forward to Donny in December. I think the away end holds almost 3500.......could sell that out as well.

Quoted from Les Brechin

They had 2752 at Blackpool last Saturday!

That, to use that overused word is 'awesome'. Lincoln were barely getting that at home last season (don't know about this) and 2000 more than they could manage to bring to BP.

(Old Lincoln-baiting habits die hard ;) )

I hope we can get a fair few to Exeter, Plymouth, Crawley etc. That will really show how 'awesome' we are!

I plan to be at Crawley as :
i) it's just up the A23 and;
ii) it was the first game I saw us play in the non-league ( we won and I remember thinking, "this is easy") :-/

Yeah that game was a real false dawn. Heck even Lee Peacock scored.

Everyone seemed convince we would urine the tin pot league after the game. Unfortunately that honour went to Creepy Crawley.

God we were crap in that first season in non league. This was the team that started the season:

Grimsby: Arthur, Watt, Ridley, Kempson, Hudson, Bore, Leary, Wood (Eagle 58), Peacock, Coulson, Connell (Dixon 88).
Subs Not Used: Garner, Cummins, Samuels.

Just looking at some of the players there, Woods should have been sacked before a ball was kicked.

We did beat Mansfield 7-2 then Histon 6-1 though,

BUT

Failed to score again for ages.

Who was Dixon? No memory of that player at all.

Quoted from Maringer

Who was Dixon? No memory of that player at all.

I think it was Andy he came from a long line of youth players who did not make it with us.

Quoted from grimsby pete

I think it was Andy he came from a long line of youth players who did not make it with us.

Andy Dixon was a long time before Pete. This was a young forward called Nathan Dixon, I think he only made a couple of late sub appearances for us before disappearing without a trace.

take that position in league
Result tomorrow please..
Come on Town!!

Lol Pete. Andy Dixon was about 20 years prior to that dreadful team that turned out at Crawley. ::) :)

We were going to walk it that after that win! How wrong could we have been?

Don't forget that Luton have played Cambridge, Stevenage, Crawley and Gillingham so far which are all under 90 minutes away from Luton. We have had to go to places like Colchester (Tuesday night) with Notts County being the closest one.

Not sure where it will end at the end of the season but we will be in the top 3 easy!!

UTM!

Gillingham are in L1!

Oh yeah the Gilllingham game was in the Checkatrade......Doh!

Can't find anything up to date re Nathan Dixon. Last sighting was 3-4 years ago at Osset albion

Why is York City on our table on this website?

Quoted from easypeersy

Why is York City on our table on this website?

They are our feeder club. ;)

If we are doing well Donny will be sold out and they will need extra trains for that. Already booked that day off.

Maybe we can have another Op 3000 for Donny. If it wasn't so near Christmas I reckon we could do it.

People need to get their priorities sorted if they're considering buying Christmas stuff over an away day!

Im missing the works christmas party for the donny game. Free bar or derby atmosphere. No contest

He was the only Dixon I could think of Les ;D

Grimps not sure what advance tickets were but it was £40 for Ipswich on the gate yesterday!

Like that away fans info
We could have been way up if we had been allowed more tickets
would like to see this type of info more often
Good time to be a town fan at min

Smashing support from ambitious Hartlepool

Cov and Blackburns following from Sat both seem quite low for big clubs even though they are struggling in their respective league

It is nearly 400 miles each way though!

Coventry are in meltdown. The Coventry Telegraph started a petition in the week demanding that owners SISU put the club up for sale. Not sure if there is a fans boycott at the mo. I think Blackburn fans have issues with their owner(s).

Wonder what that table looked like when we took 2300 to Notts the other week.

Makes you wonder with these big money takeovers, is it all really worth it? Surely a club can climb the leagues and do well without being owned by some chicken company!

Indeed. I live in Coventry and a lot of lifelong fans I know have since all but deserted the club, stopped buying their season tickets, all because of the SISU situation. It's been a massive issue for the last couple of years. Such a shame - Coventry City has great history and they don't deserve this.

Absolutely comical that people are saying things like 'Thought Hartlepool was massive ;D' ;D ;D ;D 3 of our 5 away games have been against Exeter, Yeovil and recently Plymouth. You'll see a lot more on saturday when we come to visit our feeder club ;)

Hahahaha yeah, looking forward to that. What, 150-200?
Home crowds impressive too :)

I would expect you Poolies to bring around 450 on Saturday but we will double that when we play the return game I just hope to Christ it aint 8-1 :'(

Excellent I hope your journey down is enjoyable and your trip home miserable hopefully agent Toto will help us out ;) You guys have had some long hauls early doors but we generally have a large Southern support from our exiles so I doubt we will have less than 200 anywhere this Season.Good luck for the rest of the season minus our two games.
