8,800 wolves fans expected at stadium mk!
Indeed, though MK Donkeys benefit from (a ) being in a very central location on England; (b ) being able to accommodate every other club's travelling support, regardless how big; and (c ) having a relatively new stadium, so still new to a number of travelling fans.Very impressive If they do.

Really interesting info. Thanks Ealing Bee. I have always thought we had very good away support and wondered what it is as a percentage of home gate. I thought we might have been higher. Disappointed that the Os are higher than us. Still very good given league is slightly more Northern than Southern.

I'd put all the middle in the North Sea...I'd put all the middle in the north.
On the face of it, it looks impressive. But when you consider the size* (and wealth) of Bristol, and the dearth of big clubs competing nearby, maybe it's not that good? And their travelling support expressed as a percentage of their home support (see my post #8, above) is actually pretty pathetic - 2nd worst in the entire Division.Fair play to Bristol c given their terrible first half of season
The MK Dons home fans numbers are definitel fake - no idea how they do it but we had more fans than they did last away game yet was announced a 10k game or so
Horrible, terrible club in every respect.They have about 5000 season ticket holders - many, many of whom don't turn up regularly. These are counted in their attendance figures just as our ST holders are at GP.
MK Dons set a new record attendance of 20,516 today, with 8,943 away supporters.
..............another good away support tonight.............
Yep very good turn out and atmosphere![]()
How many was it?
Bees Player said between 6-700.
It would be interesting to hear how many we have sold for Swindon, MK Dons and Colchester already.
Colchester was at 800 yesterday.
I would imagine that the ticket office will be very busy on Saturday.
Has anyone worked out the final table for Travelling Fans as a Percentage of Home Attendances (home fans only)?Finished the season with an average of 1,078 away from home. Must be our best for quite a while.

I suspect Bees figure reasonably highly by that measure, whereas teams like MK Donkeys and Bristol C are particularly weak.

Considering the size of Watford and Reading (towns), their relative affluence, and convenient geographical location, those two clubs' away following is particularly poor.Higher than 10 championship teams, including Watford, Charlton, Millwall and Reading. Oh and Wigan![]()

Anyone got the updated grid? Can't find it on the FL72 site.
