I don't really think so do you. Unless we played Mars United away recently.  



He's talking of "fan miles" if I may be so bold as use an expression like that, multiplying the amount of fans going away by the distance travelled, to give the total amount of "fan miles" travelled so far this season. Still not scientific, can't we have the Duckworth Lewis method brought into the equation to make it even more perplexing?



No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

Pretty obvious really when most teams bring less than 100 fans. It's only the 526 that Mansfield brought that's keeping the average as high as it is.

As for the difference between Dartford and Ebbsfleet, I haven't checked but I assume that Ebbsfleet have maybe played Luton at home whilst Dartford haven't yet.



Yeah I figured that much les lol, but I mean why do we get so little coming here, is it purely a distance issue? I'd if thought this would be a decent away day for most other teams.

The reason why we don't get many fans coming here is that most teams are southern based, this means the fish and chips phenonomen doesn't appeal to those soft southern shandy drinking jellied eel scoffing southern poofs.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Jesus’ disciple Peter, picked up a fish to get the tribute money from it, Jesus left his thumb print on the fish, bless'ed is the Haddock.

Although those figures are only accurate if every single Town fan actually travelled from Grimsby to games!

Luton rarely bring many to BP.

unfortunately vegan foods are still transported around the country and possibly further due to the specialist nature of the manufacturing there are less suppliers covering larger areas.....
