Highest Away Support Averages.

[Rico]

Old Trafford Nov 5th, think it was 1988 if memory serves. There was at least 5000. Don't know why so many went. It was just a run of the mill game. Ended 1-1. Sid Cowans got the equaliser.

In think guestimates at the time put the crowd at twice that.

[Rico]

That's my point. No one really knows why we took so many. It was just a run of the mill match.

The figures in that chart aren't correct (for a start the Leeds average stated is 250 more than their own programme says). Newcastle will be highest without doubt, followed by us and then Leeds.
The Football League tend to release their own 'official' stats for the previous season around January each year and looking at last season's Leeds were top with an average of 2,829 and have been in each of the last five seasons. Interestingly their figure of 3,045 in 13/14 was the only time a club has passed the 3,000 mark in the last five years and this season we're going to see three clubs with 3,000+.
Irrelevant but Small Heath's averages from 2011/12 to 15/16 were 1,489, 1,161, 1,293, 1,526 & 1,841.

I'm wondering how we're so far ahead of Newcastle. We've failed to sell out a few, and had a reduced allocation at the Sty unlike Newcastle. I'm pretty sure they've sold out pretty much every game. Our support is superb no doubt about it, just wondering though.

One obvious explanation might be geography.  Being based in the middle of the country gives us a lot of easier/shorter journeys than teams like Newcastle.

Brighton fans are apparently buying tickets off our own website to sit in the home areas as the allocated away tickets sold out really quickly and they are unhappy with what they were given. I know at least two who have definitely got them and according to them there are many more doing this.

Do all these Brighton Fans have an AVFC Booking history................

[nodge]

We bought ours today for the Brighton game and they're not on general sale yet so they'd have to have a booking history

Its not going to general sale either 

[Deano's Mullet]

I dunno. They must be on a wind up or something but I know two who are adamant they've got them.

[QuintonVilla]

Fair play to any of them in the home end. If we were going up and had a chance of winning the league I'd go in the home end if I could.

In reality "loads" will be a few who will keep their mouths shut.

[Deano's Mullet]

Apparently tickets are being sold quite openly on Seatwave. That's where they've got theirs.
