Interesting for analysis - Bury, I think, have the lowest ave attendances at home games - so they also have the highest % going away - down to the committed supporters. Also helps if you have a clump of teams geographically together, but being central, like us, is probably the biggest help. We still to play away the nearest two teams to us Walsall and County. (if Notts is closer then MK).

Swindon I think would be higher if it wasn't for the 3 games postponed and moved to Tuesday nights. We've had a lot of away games on a Tuesday night which pretty much rules out people like me from going. I'm a trademan and the 530am alarms aren't very good after a night game

What do Hartlepool T and Stevenage B mean?

Also interesting that MK are the lowest by miles, walking back from their excellent stadium with a local, who's a MK regular but actually a Spurs supporter. So perhaps there supporters are not historically MK supporters (only being 10 yrs old) but football supporters living in MK.

What do Hartlepool T and Stevenage B mean?

Town & Borough I would think.

Town & Borough I would think.

How odd. Hartlepool are a United and Stevenage dropped the 'Borough' several years ago.

Who gives a toss

Up 21% on last years average.

Shame our home form is so poor as a similar rise in home attendences would have seen them up around the 18k mark!

[skybluesam66]

How reliable can this info be if they've got 8.33% of the teams' names wrong? Where has it come from?

Fans of each club submit theirs to the thread each week, so its pretty accurate. Ours certainly is anyway.
