Away Attendances

Absolutely no need to remove our "outlier" while including everyone else's biggest away following of their season ...

This table is a decent ranking order of the quality of away support enjoyed by Championship teams this year.

We have had a great season on the pitch and are rightly also near the top of this league.

Middlesboro are correctly identified as having the best away support this year. They have been odds on to win the league most of the season and also enjoy a significant migrated support due to years in the top flight and lack of decent local employment.

Just do a calculation based on fans per miles travelled... it is a more relevant calculation, and certainly more reflective of true dedication to a team.

Why not just include games which are 100 miles or more away,.. that would be more relevant.

Eh? The table I referred to is a calculation of fan miles ....

Perhaps it would have been better to use a more formal rejection criteria (2.5*sigma or something). Are there any other attendances on there that over five and half times the clubs average attendance?

Some people simply cant afford to pick and choose , i bumped into people i had not seen for years and years and the one overiding reason was thecost , i hope clubs do this sort of thing more often as it really was a fantastic success both for MK and Brighton .

Great day out wasn't it? Great result too!

Could we also tabularise the toils of the M25.

I think you have the wrong end of the stick. Outlier tests are to isolate and remove bad data. No-one is suggesting there weren't more than 7,000 Albion fans at MK. It's verifiable, observed data.

Not exactly bad data though is it.

Like many others, I plan my away days early in the season. MKdons wasn't one of the ones we identified (for obvious reasons), but due to the Forest fixture being moved (to a Monday evening which is an impossibility for me) and the realisation we'd be taking a big following, we chose it instead. We'd have taken 3-4k anyway regardless of price.

I'm sure there are many others with similar circumstances, if we remove this data you'd also need to remove other games, as attending this one directly correlated with the non-attendance of another.

Didn't we give MK Dons their highest away following to date ?

 

[8ace]

Never realised WCP had so many accounts

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Why are some of fans obsessed with whether clubs are bigger than us?

It's getting a bit sad mate TBH.

He's a Boro fan, not Brighton.

 

[surlyseagull]

Had the game been priced normally how many fans would we have taken?

I think about 3000,I for one had pencilled it in before the cheap tickets were announced.

12000 fans paying full wack would have generated more income than 20000 cheap tickets.
That is not taking into account ST holders who I'm sure feel a bit aggrieved.

Depends how you define income as 20000 fans would spend a helluva lot more than 12000 in consumables, and add a lot more to the general community and football club in revenue spent on the day or maybe overnight .

No, I'm sure Wolves did.

Bristol City, Coventry, Brighton, Sheff Utd Leeds and Wolves have ALL taken over 6,000 in recent seasons. It's because despite a large modern stadium, MK Dons are so tin pot that they can offer as many tickets as necessary. In fact, the only good thing about MK Dons is that if they are in the Championship, most clubs will be praying for a final game there (if not a home one) because they'd get a ticket for any potential promotion party. Imagine if Leeds needed a win on the last day at MKD for promotion - they'd probably ask for half the ground, and get them.
