    Come on ooh ahh....

    Very surprised at Donny.
  • OohAhh will love this
  • WE ARE CHARLTONS RED AND WHITE ARMY!
  • Impressed with Doncasters away following and also Brighton as i think they only average about 6k for home games yet take more than us away.
  • What does that tell you? That it's allot easier to follow your team away if you might actually get a win!

    exactly, I'm surprised it's as high as 700 given the crap we had to endure...IF we are doing well next season I'd hazard a guess at it being probably about double that (given the plenty of relatively short away days)

  • Where have these figures been sourced from? I have no problem with ours, but no way do Barnsley average 4 figures for away trips......

    If they took say 3-4k to each of the Sheffield sides for local derbies then that will inflate their average.
  • Our average would surely have been higher if there had been any 'big' reason to follow the team.
    There were no 'interesting' ties that we hadn't been to the previous year, other than Swansea perhaps and there wasn't a cup run or anything remotely likely to get a non traveller out of their arm chair.
    Perhaps if we had needed a win at Norwich on the last day we might have filled our allocation like they did at the Valley but I doubt it. It was a miserable time to follow Charlton last season. I personally didn't go to many away games after the bracing trip to Blackpool. I just found that I wasn't enjoying it. Apparently I wasn't alone.

    Bring on next season- a few early away wins and we'll all be desperate to follow the team again.

    I actually got them from the Accrington Stanley website, via a Google search, so I don't know the original source. They look about right to me, though.
  • No getting away from the fact that, despite our season, they are not good figures.

    Beaten by millwall when we are a league above them and we have at least double their home support. Beaten by oldham, Stockport, huddersfield & Brighton, all of whom are a league lower and in some cases have been in that league a while.

    The thing is im still worried about getting tickets for a lot of the away games next year!!

    Impressive figures form Leeds, who also sold out all but one of their away games, restricting what would have been a much higher figure.

    impressed ith Derby as well - not a great season but decent home and away support!!

    Crystal Palace.....1090.1
    Alright, who is the 0.1 of a Palarse fan?
  • I'd be surprised if ours were as high as that on the year we had.

    About 20-25% down on the previous season.

    I expect that to be reversed next year.

    Oldham impressive taking 780 average on a 5,000 home average
  • Can we have the home ones now? ;o) Watch us trump Palarse and NilWall
  • [cite]Posted By: AFKABartram[/cite]I expect that to be reversed next year.

    Oldham impressive taking 780 average on a 5,000 home average
    Havent you and the other older gang said before that this used to be the case with us? Lower home crowds but decent away figures?
  • Very poor effort guys, I expect a lot more from you next season.

    P.S. Don't post your excuses, I've heard them all before.

    My dog ate my homework
  • We have absolutely no mitigation here & we need to collectively hold our heads in shame. I include myself in this who only did 6 away games. C+, must do better.

  • I am (Narwch replay)!
  • Only 2 for me (Palace & Derby).
    Sorry Sir.............

    Hang on, Norwich 1221.1.

    I don't think these figures are correct.

    Edit: I went to Palace, Nottingham Forest, Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday and Derby away so have a lot of improving to do next season.
  • Cut out and keep for next season fellas

  • i'm sure some will look at this as a positive that we are not lining the pockets of our rival clubs.

    i see it as another victory for oohaah to go with the prediction league, rufus challenge and lifers golf day.
    is there no end to the mans talent?

    ;-)
  • Looks like I'll have to clone myself next season to enhance the numbers....

    BTW paulbaconsarnie, met a young from guy from Purfleet whilst on hols in Tenerife a couple of weeks ago & turns out he works for THE Paul Bacon. Apparently PB runs his own flooring company now . Was well chuffed that he'd met someone who remembered his boss !

    maybe it'll be better next season with a lot of very short trips : Orient, Brentford, Southend, Narwich, Southampton, The Jills, Millsmall to name just seven, a third roughly of the away games on offer.

    And I forgot Colchester & Brighton. Add Wycombe too.
