The argument that our attendance up north and away from home are poor could all change this season
With so many people not getting season tickets I would expect to see more fans on the road
And I really wouldn't be supprised on the opening day of the season to see over 1,000 fans at Bury
Nobody wants to be in League one, and I think it's vital to support the team away from home this season with the focus being on that rarther then the owners, we know to well what a shit pig this league is.
I'm one who will do the majority of away games this season, and I look forward to meeting fellow fans on my travels

We have one of the bottom 10 of the 92 of percentage away to home support.
Hopefully my good chum oohaah will give more details to 'support' this.
1) There's a big difference between going to "attractive" Championship games and many L1 ones
2) If we are doing really well in the league, will people quietly start coming back to the Valley for the odd game or 3, or...
3) If we are doing terribly in the league, will people really want to travel to Oldham and Port Vale to watch us lose embarrassingly?
Anyone in the away support with a swelling, I'd suggest getting down your GP's to get it looked at.
Can see big crowds for the more local ones but still dont think we will get the numbers for the likes of Bury, Rochdale etc.
But I won't be attending any home games, although I will try to attend protests at The Valley.
I would imagine that there are a good amount of people who will be thinking along these lines.
Last season
Let's say home crowds were somewhere between 11k and 13k (that's probably about halfway between the actual and what Katrien was announcing).
Away support = about 600 average I'm guessing
600 is 4.61% of 13,000
Next season
Home crowds of around 3,000
Away support remains at around 600
Away to home support ratio is now 20%.
Katrien has quite brilliantly grown our away support ratio by 15%. Thank you Katrien.
