The away support at Accrington needs to be added and the average recalculated.
I notice that city have taken over a thousand on two trips 'up north',and their travelling support to Rotherham,Huddersfield and Leeds are all more than Rovers have taken on northern trips....
A lot of of Rovers away supporters don't seem to fancy awaydays north of FGR, not knocking the ones that do go...from either club.

Mansfield away was my favourite and it felt like more than 850. That was a match that just had everything. We love being part of the that amazing band of BRFC away supporters and if, work commitments did not interfere, would be at every one. Astonishing game and the rogue of the day Nicky Hunt since gone to Orient. |

They'll probably edge it come May due to the fact they can take 4,000 to places like fulham and mk Dons

It's difficult to go north to watch your team if they are not playing up there! Each one of the 4 trips is in excess of 300 mile round trip. |

Seems to be difficult for quite a few to go north when the team are playing there !.

From some friends who went up there, Accrington was about as bad as you'll get and the match still be played. Snow, hail and horizontal rain, and freezing cold. In case you think they are being soft, one of them is from northern Sweden... |

You only have to look at the Sky highlights to see that it wasn't that bad,yes some snow or hail and windy,not sure of the temperature but it wasn't that cold last week. |

At no point did the conditions come remotely close to putting the match in doubt. We've had far worse conditions at the Mem and still played on at least two dozen occasions since we moved in, I'd bet. |

Before the game started it was and for part of the journey back too, anyway who cares, we took more there than C*ty took to Burnley bad weather or not  |

What I don't call it is "about as bad as you'll get and the match still be played", which is the specific bit that I meant wasn't true. I confirm that there was a tiny bit of snow and a bit more hail, but overall the conditions were unpleasant rather than bad. |

I don't think that city supporters travel in 'good'numbers looking at these figures. Even at the beginning of the season before things went wrong for them the numbers are less than 10% of their home crowd,what is so good about that ?. I think looking at the amount that they took to Boro and Burnley ( and fair play to those that went ),that their hard core away support is about the same as Rovers,but they are 2 divisions higher with better teams to visit. I agree with you that more will travel when their team are doing well ( home attendances increase as well) but Rovers away support was good last season in the Conference when the club were at a low ebb,I know that some people enjoyed the novelty of visiting new grounds. Some good away fixtures coming up for Rovers,the only thing that will keep the away support down is the number of tickets provided at Portsmouth,Wycombe and Newport.
Any club that averages over 1000 away during a s***e season is doing pretty well. I think success on the pitch (i.e league position) generally leads to bigger crowds at home and away rather than what actual division you are in. I'm pretty sure that if we were low to mid table in League One, we wouldn't be getting the support we do at the moment. Bang on the money Rex. You only have to look back to our own home gates when people were calling for Trolls to be sacked. The crowds were very average and atmosphere poor |

I was at Derby. It was a Tuesday night on a freezing evening when every man and his dog would know a side with Tom Ince and Darren Bent up front - along with £7m worth of talent on the bench - would give us a hammering.
Hardly comparable.
