What's the obsession with posting pictures of away fans? Is it to take a continual swipe at our support? We've taken decent numbers away from home this season, so I don't see what you're trying to prove?

Strange post, it's always been done. If anything it would be showing that's it's not the best of away support. Your correct we have travelled well and will do again against Birmingham despite it being sky. :thumbup:

Ross, it's been done every game for 8 years, if you don't like you don't have to open it :thumbright:
Many fans including myself enjoy looking and reading etc :thumbright:

By the way Ross, fans must like the topic, as it always gets a couple of thousand views :thumbright: :thumbright:

It's only regularly been done last season and this season. I'm not just on about the away fans at our stadium. I'm on about posts with big headlines of "Leicester take over 2,000 to Burton for a friendly" etc.

I understood why posts like that were initially done as our support was poor at the time, those posts were done to take a swipe at our poor support and embarrass us. Our support has picked up this season though, so I don't understand why these types of posts are continuing.

Away supports have been done for yrs a fact.

Plus no swipe at us or any other club, as I have said time and time again I have looked at away supports and been interested in numbers since the age of 7yrs old, I enjoy them, if you don't like them, just stay away from the topics, many others enjoy them, just look at the views :thumbright: :bluebird:

When you factor in everything (you have to, doesn't always happen with us though) its not a bad following for what is their 3rd/4th longest away trip out of 23.

They have so many games either on their doorstep or close by a trip to Cardiff will never be a big one, I mean the two Sheffield Clubs are almost as close to them as Swansea are to us.

At the end of the season this is their last 5 away games, Forest (15 Miles), Preston (100 Miles), Wolves (43 Miles), Burton (11 Miles), Villa (41 Miles).

Can you imagine us having that, we would take 2-3,000 to all of them, which Derby will no doubt.

I why I hate that average away attendance table so much, does not paint a fair picture at all.

Fair point, and probably the reason www stoke and most midland clubs don't travel in large numbers tobus.
