The distance travelled thing is a massive factor. We stayed overnight in Leeds after, just too much travelling to go up and back in a day. The Northern/Midland clubs have it much easier.
Thanks for that - interesting (and I guess we're still waiting for the 'inevitable' drop off so many predicted ???). So 10% up on the previous couple of seasons.........I reckon away support is probably similar, if not a bit more.
That's what I was thinking - I guess home support is up maybe 20% (av 24k to more like 28k perhaps ?) this season, definitely seems to have been more of a scramble for away tickets this season. More Saturday afternoon games would've helped........
How are our away attendances comparing this season with the last say 2-3 years ? Are they increasing ?
Sorry too lazy to look for any stats - sure someone has them.....................
