Average Away Support in League One

[SNOOBS]

Funny Leeds take on average over 2500, but only take 800 here

Posts above show this. Carlisle fans travel an average of 226 miles, wheras Walsall fans only have to travel 107 on average.

however, being a long way off does not make you a good fan. A good fan goes to away games (you could argue), so my last table compares where the club is in terms of away fan averages with how far they have to travel.

Leeds fans are the "best" in as much as they travel in big numbers even though they have to travel 140 miles to an average match. Brighton come next. and so on.

Actually, a very large proportion of Leeds fans live all over the country, so their distance is probably considerably less than 140 miles, and we're almost certainly top of the table!

Then back up after we play Orient, Swindon and Millwall.

We would have had another 300/400 at Southend if it was on a Saturday as well.

Good away support overall.

Another thing to take into account is the number of fans who travel from the home town and local area of the club. If you excluded Brighton fans who live elsewhere around the country our away support would only be 500.

You're telling me over 500 fans who went to Southend didnt come from the Sussex area?

Not for a friday evening game and a comparatively local game distance wise , it will be for those games such as Hartlepool , Carlisle and Stockport when our away following will have a large number of fans travelling from the Midlands , North and Scotland.

f*** off! (in a nice way)

Too complex for you? You need to introduce a new unit, the "fan-mile"! e.g. about a million fan-miles were made on that Saturday match at Chesterfield a few years ago. Actually, for a mid-season League match, I can't think of larger fan-mile turnout since Tottenham in 1977-78. Anybody?

I don't care, just shows how shallow MK DONS fans are. I really have a dislike for this club, and hate everything they bloody stand for.

I think that is a pretty good average.

After the years of hate, I actually quite like MK Dons
