I think that this season some people ( me included ) went to some away games for novelty,I went to Southport as I had wanted to go there since the 70s,but I wont go again. When you consider the price of the day going to an away game,and the quality of the football I would be surprised if the numbers travelling stay as high as they are now.
Funnily enough I did the same a former league ground at Southport as I missed going their in the 70's like you wont go again Agreed novelty value and fact Rovers have an impressive away record of a club record equalling record of 17 matches has enticed a few to go away BUT if we fail to go up those numbers will dwindle

After watching the game on Macclesfield game I was quite surprised how quiet you guys were? for such a big game and seeing as the large support you bring I thought you'd be louder

Bristol football crowds have always been quiet, the Rugby club is better and there's often more buzz and atmosphere at the cricket.

Mate, before insulting our crowd, listen to your own. I watched the highlights of your 5-0 win over Welling and half of the Barnet fans didn't even celebrate the goals. Miserable bunch. You've been top of the league all season and your tiny stadium is still empty.

Lets be honest at times we weren't very loud, which partially could have been as a result of us being split across two different stands and the baulk of our fans being out in the open. Like it or not he was merely making an observation about how quiet we were for large parts of the game, not insulting us. We certainly picked up the volume as we got more into the game and put their goal under more pressure in the second half. He's a football fan, it doesn't cost anything to show a little class and tolerance and to show him some respect, lets not give fans of other clubs the opportunity of accusing us of being arrogant.

No chance it was a cheap dig and he got a bit of nerve judging our fans when their average attendance is the same level of support you'd get following a Bristol surburban 6 side , I seen bigger crowds at a 1 man w@anking festival UTG

Haven't bneen to a Barnet game since there last game at Underhill and even then it was a novelty thing as it was their last game at the ground. I've heard The Hive is very quiet, even for Home support which does tend (for most clubs) to be 10 times quiet then when Away. From the videos I've seen, and I do look at other teams not just Barnet their Away support is pretty decent. Maybe not large in numbers but loud(ish)
Here's the raw data, gleaned from match reports on Rovers' or home clubs' web-sites.

(Excludes Cup games and is based on published away support, so excludes Gas who went into non-segregated areas of grounds).
The average Rovers away support in Conference games so far is 763.
(Excludes Cup games and is based on published away support, so excludes Gas who went into non-segregated areas of grounds).
The mean attendance at Rovers away Conference games is 2,441.
So, on average, Rovers fans have formed 31.3% of the crowd.
An away following of, say, 2,500 at Kidderminster and 2,200 at Dover would give an average for the season of over 900. (BRFC reported on 31st March that they have already sold 2,387 tickets for the Kidderminster game).
The table below shows the average Rovers away support in the last five seasons in the League.
