The Blackpool point is stupid but he is right about Leeds.

And our league home attendances up with the highest in the league?


Yes they are, and also we took 3000 ish twice to Palace last year, its a shitty journey crawling for an eternity through the crappy London traffic. For those of us who don't go to all of the aways its one to miss.

Palace is a crap example.

We'll be near a sell out our 2500 allocation for Forest.

As for our support we take more away than other clubs bring to us, last year the only exceptions (by memory) were West ham and leeds where we had ridiculous restrictions and Ipswich.

Compared to Blackpool ? Our home gates are almost double theirs and we took something like 1700 up there and they brought 6-800 to ours. There are bigger clubs than us in this division, Wednesday, Leeds, maybe Brighton, Forest, Leicester, Derby ... but not feckin Blackpool :lol:

Average away following last season

Blackpool did have a higher average away following than us, but we took 800 more to them than they brought to us, and we had the second lowest amount of fans come to us on average.
IMO we would have had a higher average following if we didn't have as many restrictions, fixture changes, and less distance to cover. Plus a very expensive Wembley trip to fork out on.
