been various comments on other threads about what away support we might expect and what our average gates might be - thought it might be useful to have a separate thread , so here's the average away followings from Div 2 last season

930   Bradford City
807   Bristol Rovers
725   Swindon
681   Tranmere Rovers
658   Port Vale
633   Mansfield Town
613   Oldham Ath
568   Walsall
529   Northampton
503   Exeter City
491   Hartlepool United
469   Rochdale
456   Carlisle Utd
415   Leyton Orient
351   Newport County
347   Barrow
268   Colchester Utd
252   Scunthorpe
213   Sutton United
190   Forest Green
146   Harrogate Town
135   Stevenage
128   Crawley Town
120   Salford City

there are some surprisingly good followings there , which may well have implications for our hopes of opening the Osmond - obviously we expect Bradford, Donny, Stockport and Mansfield to bring big numbers , but look at the numbers taken by Swindon, Tranmere, Northampton, Walsall,Hartlepool, Rochdale and Carlisle - there's potentially 11 games where they could exceed 500.

i couldn't find any similar stats for the NL but I've guesstimated that in total there were c6000 away fans over the 22 games (average c270). The League 2 averages out at c450 , so that's another nearly 200 to be added on to our average gate, without any increase in home support

i think we were nip n tuck with Wrexham, and the  numbers were similar to Bradford. I'm sure Les Brechin did some figures every so often, but i couldn't find them

In the National league we could sometimes count the number of away fans just prior to kick off so having these good numbers of away fans is good news for both finances and atmosphere.

I think either behind the goal only or the corner only should suffice depending on the opposition if home demand for tickets is high - the more home fans we can get in the better.

For the four teams relegated to League 2 on a site I looked at

Doncaster 552
AFC Wimbledon 536
Gillingham 470
Crewe 380

Presumably if any of these teams are challenging then they may bring more

On a side note MK Franchise despite coming 3rd only managed 620

I worked it out to be 902 based on attendances published and estimates away attendances not including the cup or playoff games.

The Wrexham fan who was totting them up didn't have time to carry it on unfortunately. Pretty sure we were on around 850 or something last time he did them.
