Reesh Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Saw this that was pre Preston away. PNE 5,341 Southampton 2,800 (est per same source) Huddersfield 2,331 allocated and sold Leicester 3,255 allocated and sold Millwall 2,719 (2900 allocated) Average is now 2,585, imagine if we had a half decent season!! Last 6 away Rotherham 2.1k Ipswich 2k Boro 2k apparently Qpr 3k Sunderland 2.5k Blackburn 7k (doubt they offer it if they are dragged into the battle to stay up) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Given the geography it's a decent average for Plymouth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercockle Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 I love attendance stats. There are some well supported teams in this division. There are also some, such as Coventry, Boro and to some extent Southampton whose average home gates have surprised me. We’re only 7th yet I think our average is in the top 3 home gate for the last 25 years. I don’t recall our average in the Prem getting much above 27500. https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/championship/attendances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBRA Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 What drove the huge difference - Plymouth away (we didn’t sell out) and them getting more at ours than at theirs? QPR away Leeds got similar to us? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoylandOwl Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 For a side camped in the bottom 3 for 95% of the season (that’s not exact I know)… our figure is ridiculous 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 I’ve not researched it, I’ll say that up front but I feel as though a few clubs have reduced the away fans allocation over the last few seasons, e.g. Huddersfield. Even Sunderland could have sold more to us. I realise that impacts all the away stats, but it just seems more that some clubs do it to try offset the away fans noise - but they seem to forget a noisy away end can spar the home fans, not to mention missing out on ticket sales.

Even Rotherham cut number of tickets for visiting clubs this season, it used to be close on 2.600 but majority of clubs have only had around 2,100, only Southampton have had 2,500 this season. I wonder if clubs think smaller allocations for visiting fans means less police and stewards needed. I hope we only give them scrubbers a small allocation next season though. 1,500 in lower tier sounds about right with 3,000 of our fans up above them in upper.

Definitely. It started yonks ago. Places that used to give us much or all of an end suddenly reduced our allocation. Huddersfield seemed to bring in lots of big flag waving tossers. Derby brought in their own fans to our area behind the goal and we ended up in a corner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby brought in their own fans to our area behind the goal and we ended up in a corner. Yes they’re a couple of the ones I was thinking of. Maybe as Bradowl says it’s to do with police/ stewarding costs. Although 3k instead of 2k away fans would seem a marginal difference to me, in the sense that you’ll probably need to same level of overheads and support for the number of coppers and stewards even if you need more boots on the ground. Presumably there’s some kind of pivot of when it’s most cost effective for them. However when many of these stadia aren’t full for the majority of games it still seems odd to limit your ticket sales when you could sell more.

HappyOwl Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Something I’ve never understood just seen this somewhere else The 10 highest Championship away attendances of the 2023/24 season… 🔵⚪️ 1. Leeds at Blackburn 7,551 2. Sheff Wed at Blackburn 7,321 3. Preston at Blackburn 5,789 4. Leicester at Preston 5,744 5. Sunderland at Preston 5,655 6. Leeds at Preston 5,567 7. Sheff Wed at Preston 5,341 8. Blackburn at Preston 4,722 9. Leicester at Coventry 4,500 10. Coventry at Blackburn 4,338 so we sold out allocation at Blackburn? Leeds got more tickets or did 230 of us not turn up on the day? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tylluan Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I believe it's s based on tickets sold, which is why clubs announce attendances a lot higher than the empty seats suggest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tank_Owl2,0 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 I thought the same when I saw this, not only for Sunderland but Preston as well. As Ty suggest I don’t for one minute think it represents the number of not people turning up for a game, particularly the Blackburn game ie with it being so important 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
