    How do you recon our away support rates against other teams in the championship in terms of vocals and numbers? We've gotta be up in the top 5 at least IMO.

    Thoughts?

    Leeds surely 1st, we'll be up there. Our away support has got a lot better in recent seasons, despite relegation/s.

    away games are just ace.

    Leeds definately up there. West Ham will take a few with them too.

    Birmingham's is apparently ****e.
    Leicester's will be quite good, as will Forest's.

    We should be up there, but I can see a lot more teams filling out their allocation at St. Mary's this year as well.

    Stick our average in the Championship table and we are 7th. It was 22,100 average last year but skewed a bit by big gates at the end of the season...same for most I guess.

    I think we sold out our allocations, but they weren't very big

    Well obviously you COULD, but different stadium sizes and capacities are going to have an effect surely.

    Yeah i think ours was around 1600 last season. Sheffield Wednesday's was slightly higher although that was probably due to them having much larger allocations for their closest games than we do and us having so many evening away games. Leeds will obviously have the best in the championship but I should think we would be up there along with West Ham, Leicester and Forest.

    looking forward to the away end being filled out regularly - will lead to much better atmospheres. And we will have at least 1 guaranteed sell out next season!

    Actual stadiums, so we can take actual numbers to most games will be good. Show everyone how great our away support is now
