    hi gasheads.

    i came across this earlier on our officials fans forum http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/ad/88/0,,10794~166061,00.pdf

    on average rovers travelling fans last season was 615 per game.

    on average citys travelling fans last season was 682 per game.

    that was a suprise to me, considering we had at the mem people who voted with their feet due to poor performances and that we were relegation contenders who ended up getting relegated from league 1 to league 2, having just 67 less fans on average its not a bad figure when you compare it to our local rivals who play in a more attractive league - the championship.

    also, in the football league (72 clubs), last season we had the 12th best away support as a percentage of our home support 10.9%. and 7th for league 1 alone.
    city had the 69th best or 4th worst with just 5%. worse in the championship http://www.football-league.co.uk/staticFiles/ef/88/0,,10794~166127,00.pdf

    what do you think about that?

    Good to see and not that suprising, we`ve always had a decent away support whareas our neighbours despite their league standing struggle to find their way out of South Bristol. But then not many have cars and most coach companies are reluctant to send their vehicles to run down dodgy areas <whistle>
