We sold out Brentford. Close to sell out for Leyton Orient on a televised NYE game. MK Dons was a tues night. The yorkshire sides usually get shed loads of tickets for local derbys thus increasing their average.
Plus we all know how many northeners live in London to swell away support for the home counties and London.
If wanting to go to Preston be wary of arranging coach travel by the club as on the os it states it is arranging coaches to Prenton Park for the game, how far is Preston from Tranmere?
Don't try using logic Off_it, our away support is poor, if it's not poor for a game or games, then suitable excuses of why we took good numbers somewhere will be trotted out, but our away support will always be poor, no matter the number. If another club, who obviously have better support than us, happen to bring apparently poor numbers to the Valley, then the same excuses we use for our poor figures, that are routinely derided or ignored, will be trotted out by the very people who said the weren't valid reasons for our away support.
So no matter the combination of awkward journeys, low allocations, televised games, consecutive long trips, or any one of a dozen over valid reasons are never good enough to explain a low away attendance for us, they are all perfectly good reasons for away teams to bring low numbers to the valley, despite the fact that virtually every team we play will have more fans living within 20 miles of the valley than we have fans living within 20 miles of their ground.

our away support in general is poor, but we have some good games. 500 to Oldham is one of the poor ones.
Mike, if our away support in general is poor, as you say, then 500 to Oldham is surely "average" for us? Whereas the "good games" are actually brilliant turnouts.
That's the logical conclusion to your constant slating of our away numbers.

Also the allocation of tickets from local sides.

We have the 7th highest
I'll be the second to criticise the sales.
You can't keep having it both ways mate.

Otherwise I don't really fancy the cost of a away day for a league one game.
