Non-League Away Support 2015/16

[Tranmerewhite]

1450 Tranmere at Southport (sell out)

Probably more given some in home end.

 

[White Army]

Probably more given some in home end.

Yeah, 1400 home fans seems like alot for Southport

 

[Cardsfan]

34 Welling at Aldershot
57 Macc at Cheltenham
117 Wrexham at Gateshead
Estimate 70 FGR at Woking

 

[chipmunx]

about 80 Lincoln fans at Barrow;- approx 40 on the terrace and 40 in the stand

 

[TRFC ON TOUR]

Probably more given some in home end.

300 in the home ends at least

 

[CFC2010]

Attendance at Chester: 1,964 (357 Mariners).

Made a fair bit of noise early on as well, absolute scenes after the equaliser. Pathetic home support.

 

[Bluandwite]

We announced an away following?

Christ

 

[B2TF]

400 to 500 Shaymen at Guisly

 

[Limerick Mariner]

Made a fair bit of noise early on as well, absolute scenes after the equaliser. Pathetic home support.

Was thinking 357 was a bit disappointing, but then I looked at the Championship followings - more than Hull and Bristol City and twice as many as Franchise to Burnley...
Tranmere will have matched Forest's feeble effort to Birmingham...

Terrible effort from Lincoln though - less than Rotherham and Brentford...
...only joking, stalwart from the 80 who made that trip.

 

[Back in the DHSS]

Probably more given some in home end.

I went in the home end, didn't see any other Rovers in there, but looked to me like Tranmere fans made up about 60% of the total attendance.
Evidently this was Southports 2nd highest league attendance since 1978.

 

[Son of Cod]

Must be pretty tight between us and Tranmere for highest average after last night's followings. How many do you guys reckon will make the inconvenience of a Friday night trip across the country in two days time?

 

[Brom Boy]

Possible lowest gate of the season so far announced at Boreham Wood last night, 364!

@bromleyfc Twitter said half Bromley, downgraded slightly on their match report, which ties in with the estimated numbers I was given of 140/150 away fans. (Gave this one a miss, been there too many times & dislike the place).

Lucky to get between 500 and 600 ...... If that, loads of factors work against it, its on a friday night, on telly, 3 days after 2x derbys in a row ( expensive beer matches) and the rugby world cup starts....

Not to mention its been so long a few of our younger supporters might go to grimsby rather then cleethorpes by mistake. Lol

Don't reckon we'll take many, if I'm honest. Friday night, not very local, on TV, the team is not exactly entertaining the fans at the moment, mediocre run of results... all the factors are against us. Sounds like a list of excuses! I reckon 400 or so.

For what it's worth, I think we're going to get battered too...

We seem to play better when the pressure is on, expecting us to at least put in a good performance.

One thing's for sure though, you WILL score. We haven't kept a clean sheet in any of our 10 games this season. It just depends if our strikers take their chances or not. We are the highest scoring team in the top 6 tiers of the English league but must have squandered a similar amount of chances too.

 

[yellow]

200 to the Midlands on a tuesday is pretty good going considering our situation. Unfortunately the lads shot themselves in the foot again on the pitch..

 

[riverend]

Counted 56 Braintree at Dover behind the goal first half ,which more interesting than watching the dire game

Think ours might just fall short of 800, sure cardsfan will have a more accurate number.

 

[Cardsfan]

Current Averages:
Grimsby - 1068 (1734, 1689, 825, 734, 357)
Tranmere - 821 (1512, 389, 453, 1450, 302)

Whats the 225 figure mate? Think welling was 302

 

[Cardsfan]

I wasn't sure whether to put 225 or 302, Dickie Davies eyes estimated 225 so not sure where they got the figure from.

I got the 302 from our programme, mate. Not that it'll take our average above Grimsby's our anything...

Yeah I know, hence the "they".

 

[White Army]

Yeah 302 is the official figure

 

[Boz]

We were told that we'd sold all of our ticket allocation 1,500. Some cash entry was permitted on the night. While there's no way of calculating the number of Rovers fans going into the home end, there should still be more than 1,450. Even if Southport were calculating on numbers of attenders rather than tickets sold, I'd reckon more than the official figure.

Had the Grimsby game been at normal time, we'd have taken around 400 and if it had been an early ko like the Welling game doubt the numbers would drop vastly. Friday night and we're not playing well, so doubt more than about 220 diehards will be there to see a likely hammering.

But we always have to go on the official number - only way the thread works. Over the years I've been the home areas at quite a few games when we've sold out (as a Lincs exile I never get my act together to get tickets via GTFC) especially Scunny and Lincoln. Despite all the talk of beforehand of lots of fans going in home areas I doubt it is has ever been more than 100 or so.

I can understand that, for comparitive purposes there isn't another way. My point was that on this occasion, if the information Tranmere put out on tickets available/purchased was correct, there must be some doubt on that official figure.

Hence the reason why the official 302 figure should be used for the Welling game. There were far more at Southport than the official figures suggest, the ground looked at least 70% full. And I'm normally someone who underestimates crowds...
