Very difficult for pompy to average over 20k in a stadium just about holds at 21k. When they very rarely will sell over 20k home tickets.
Bit of an unfair stat.

Have a look at their attendance history to see how badly they have been supported over the last 60/70 years... And il let you decide

To be fair, they've been doing that for a long while now... Very well supported away

I was surprised by WBA. I guess they're top of the league so it helps but I remember seeing a few games in the Prem, a midweek up at the Etihad springs to mind where it looks like they took about 200 fans.

I don't know what you are on about.
Here's a really radical idea for you- some clubs are better supported than others.
MK Dons (7k+), Wigan (5k), Blackburn (7k) give loads of tickets to away fans. Every fan of every team that plays there has the ability to find £20 or more to attend each of them, or none could bother going. It depends on how good their support is, how big their support is, how well they're doing. We took something like 6,500 to MK, other teams took much less.
The conclusion is not that it was just an 'illusion', and that there weren't actually any people there & the whole thing should be discounted, the conclusion is that our support was better at that game than anyone else had there when they played them. And the average over a season is a measure of how good your away support is across every game, with every team having the same opportunities to buy tickets that we did.
You have a very strange agenda in trying to distort hard facts in order to discredit the people that go to away games- we have amazing support, so why you'd now attempt to run them down by saying "yeah but it was really close" etc is just perverse.
WTF are you blubbering on about now - Jeez! I've said at least 5 times our away support is amazing. My "opinion" if i'm allowed one is that our average is massively exaggerated by one massive away following.

Bet we are at the top of visiting fans as a percentage of those fans attending at home.
So we have about 5500 at home
1885 away
that’s 34%

"Exaggerate"- to represent something as being larger, better, or worse than it really is.
You seem to be saying that at least a proportion of the 6,000 people at Milton Keynes that day weren't really there.
No issue with opinions, however if its a bit weird then expect to be called out on it.

Can we add the 9K we will take to Blackpool yet? That will improve the figures.

No, it doesn't count if it's more than the average. Sorry, them the rules.

Brilliant info - thanks for taking the time to do that - always thought we were well represented away from home but it’s surprised me just how many we take away compared to the so called “bigger clubs” in the Championship.At your service
1 Leeds 2966
2 Sheffield Wedneday 2593
3 WBA 2068
4 Derby 1986
5 Nottingham Forest 1931
* Coventry City 1,885
6 Birmingham City 1780
7 Huddersfield Town 1718
8 Luton Town 1649
9 Cardiff City 1532
10 Preston North End 1467
11 Stoke City 1,464
12 Charlton 1,412
13 Middlesbrough 1,307
14 Blackburn 1.263
15 Barnsley 1,196

20 Hull City 1,045
21 Millwall 1,040
22 Brentford 929
23 Reading 920
24 Wigan 766
Sixth best away support in the Championship.
but if you exclude the 5,000+ that some clubs took to Blackburn & Wigan and disqualify all the midlands clubs for having a geographical advantage it may even be higher
I wonder (Ring of Steel) what the Premier League away teams followings are? - I bet we take more than some of them too!

.......need someone to work out and compare the mean, the mode and the median 'averages' of each club!!!! Good luck to that person...... !
I think it would just reflect the smaller away capacities of most League 1 clubs so not particularly insightful. In any case it should take about a minute in Excel.

I don’t think Premier League clubs release away followings

It’s the same as us really. Dropping down a league, being one of the big boys, more chance of winning games and generally a better experience/cheaper tickets.
I remember us taking 250 to Boro on a Saturday the relegation season I think yet in L1 took 3k and 2k to Sunderland

They always sold out the Ricoh.
Teams that sold out the whole away end that stick out in my mind whilst in the Championship:
Wolves
WBA
Leicester
Sheff Wed
Leeds
Sunderland
