Good work FI.
It’s even better than those figures show. Didn’t we sell 1100 tickets for Woking but they didn’t scan everyone in. Seem to remember Kristine saying something about it.
It’s been said before, but we have so many exiles all over the place that there is always a contingent for whom the away game is fairly close. The other big reason is that we’re also slightly mad 😉.
Slightly mad?!! Stark raving bonkers is what I think you mean!! We have to be don’t we?😆😆😆

It’s cracking support but I always think when clubs start banging on about attendance you run the risk of sounding like Newcastle Fans…
Correct. It’s good to see, but starting to run the risk of sucking ourselves off at times this season.

On Twitter a couple of days ago one of the 'on this day in history' things came up and that said we won somewhere in front of 875 in total.
I thought 'bloody hell, that's our away support at the moment'.
I'm surprised how few travelled to some of the Championship games quoted above.

And you don't get a single point for how many fans you have in the ground.

Torquay's been the smallest, but was easily the loudest of all the Southern away trips so far this season. Wealdstone definitely the flattest. Maidenhead was also a bit flat too. Aside from being disappointing results, the main similarity between those two was how scattered about we were. In two different stands, but even then still split up further as there were separate roofed areas and divides. We were in different stands at Woking too but it felt much more like Football League away day as it was 4000+ and a full stadium. Bromley started off a bit flat too but a combination of going 1-0 up, getting reffed out of it, being goaded by their players and being urine wet through cranked the atmosphere up pretty well.

What about if the club did cheap mini megaphones that can project our voice louder lol.

Average of 873 in the league with some really shít fixture / midweek combinations thrown in for good measure. Our only two away games within 180 miles have both been on a Tuesday night. Chaos mentions League One and Two - I honestly think there's several teams in the Championship who'd struggle to compete with that. It's hard to find complete stats for it but here's a link for Championship away followings in the middle of August, right the start of the season on a Saturday when the weather was nice and we'd all just been allowed back en masse into football grounds: https://fanbanter.co.uk/every-leagues-away-attendances-at-the-weekend-16th-august-2021/2/700 Fulham at Huddersfield 430 Bristol City at Boro (fewer than we took to Torquay) 350 Sheffield United at Swansea (fewer than any following we've taken this season, even Bromsgrove) Without a shadow of a doubt, punching massively above our weight when it comes to away travel. We've been doing that for a good 10 years or so, but this season is something else.
Absolutely fantastic, but just putting things into perspective taking nothing away but I think if we ever do get back to the championship paying £40 £50 a ticket would certainly have an effect on our numbers, any of those teams you mentioned apart from Fulham would possibly be selling out most of all their away allocation if we we’re to swap places.

Our away figures could be refined with applying some other factors:
The Grimsby area is very isolated geographically. This means frequent away travel is both more difficult and more expensive. Especially when compared to a team based centrally, eg Walsall. Midweek away matches will sometimes mean that a return rail journey the same night is not possible.
