85 Sutton at Swindon a total nonsense figure for the 2nd consecutive year, where’s the tinpot thread.

Oddly, someone on our forum who was in the stand opposite tried to count them (as there were so few) & estimated between 80-90 before the figure was announced. Agree with the tinpot comment, but possibly not in the same way ;)

I've seen plenty of bigger teams than Sutton bring sub-100 away followings to Brunton Park... especially on a Tuesday night.

I sort of expect that from Wrexham, tbh. They haven’t played each other since 2005, not forgetting, it’s only 65 mile away.

Still a very good following.
Agree, I'd expect them to shift most of that allocation but to do it one hour is bonkers.

On Wednesday we had sold 800 for Salford this weekend, so we should be close to selling out.

I think that is pretty good considering our current form, and our record of two away wins in the last nine months.

Decent effort that.

On a side note, the top end of the Conference has seen some ridiculous followings again so far this season. Wrexham sold out a 2300 allocation for Oldham in an hour!
We took 2,700 there on a Tuesday night a couple of years ago.

Wrexham will forever be in our shadow (until they inevitably get promoted).

Yeah saw that. Either wrong or lying. But hey, it doesn’t matter anyway.

Sounded like 103 but it wasn’t clear - could’ve been 133.

404 mansfield at gillingham, which is a fair effort given the distance.

That’s pretty poor, you should be selling out there really given the distance.

Cracking win mind
You should have a look at our recent away record before making that statement.

In periods when we are in good form, our home and away support is better than your own.

I’m not bothered about that, on the face of it, like it or not, 900 to salford is a poor effort - as you point out if you travel so well selling out 1400 tickets at a game an hour away shouldn’t be hard.

Our away support fluctuates depending on performances on the pitch and the state of the economy, the same as for any club.

966 is a fair effort. I think we should be taking in the state of the economy when it comes to judging away attendances.

I would like to see an official list of what constitutes a ‘good’ away support. We need clarification ASAP on this important matter.

It’s probably best you don’t know.

Since how many people travel to an away match is the most important thing in Football there should be some clarification.

Honestly I think it’s terrible that extra points aren’t awarded to teams with more away fans.

It’s the most important thing in this thread, sort of the point….unless of course you support Lincoln or Bradford and like to shoehorn in the home attendance too :D

If you don’t like away following discussions this is one to avoid mate.

I’ve got nothing against discussing away attendances, I just find BBBing away attendances at any level to be silly and counterproductive.

FWIW given all that’s going on in terms of cost of living and cost of travelling (which has been ridiculous for years) any away support is to be commended, whether it be the 966 Tranmere fans at Salford yesterday or the 69 Harrogate fans at Sutton the other week.

I definitely feel like more leeway should be given in the current climate for shithousing about perceived poor away followings, but at the same time the whole point of this thread is to collect the figures, and naturally due to it being a football forum, praise and ridicule.

…all that and then agree that Grimsby’s away support is best…
