Lombardo Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Limited to the number of tickets available and that their home attendances are far bigger. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nethertonowl Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Your mate wouldnt support Rovrum by any chance would he?. given you live in kimbo ?) Must have taken him hours to come up with that statistic?........ i guess its true what they say, Lies, damned lies and statistics ! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Seen this other day, obviously made up by a toy town fan. They would have taken chuff all away had they been outside top 6. Wednesday and Sunderland for that matter would have taken loads more away had they received bigger allocations. We probably could have sold 10,000 tickets for Doncaster and Rotherham away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobness Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 This is absolute rubbish. I believe "percent taken" is the percentage of home fans vs. away fans. Away numbers are limited to ticket allocations. So given Sunderland's greater home support, their away support is "lower"... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The home figures are not limited by capacity whereas the away figures are. Therefore the table isnt a valid statistical analysis of the premise. Fact. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fudge27 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Surprised to see a team with an average home gate of 31k plus be low down an away following in comparison list to Wimbledon, morecambe, Fleetwood etc... Riigggghhghttttt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanharper Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Probably the same sort of sad little Miller who ignores actual attendances but invents new and utterly irrelevant statistical categories like "percentage of empty seats in the stadium". I saw one of them trying to claim that Wednesday were the worst in Europe for this or something, until it was pointed out that we don't even come top of this "stat" for League One due to MK Dons.

Beighton Owl 87 Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 That has to be the most pointless statistic ever. If Accrington took 2k fans away would that somehow make them the best supported team in league one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Statistics can be used to bend the rules Here we have Sunderland 2nd in the table for away following But someone who benefits from using a different criteria, i.e. percentage, has twisted the facts It's similar to the table put out earlier in the year where we were well down the list because we were selling just over half of our available seats. The stats had our capacity at 39,000 while our average attendance was around 22,000 Statistics can be twisted to suit an argument We haven't lost to Man United or Liverpool in over 20 years, which looks like a great record until you dig deeper and realise we haven't been in the same division for that length of time. 1 2 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

Suppose it's easy to top the list for a small club with poor home support. Also when their biggest game of the season is 5 miles from home with unlimited tickets available.

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Rotherham being 'top' of this table just shows how poor their home support is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Going by these stats Manchester United have terrible away support with an average home attendance of 75,000 but only taking around 3,000 supporters to away games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No he's a Leeds fan... but I think all local sides including Leeds take good followings away from home, and it doesn't matter if Rotherham are top its only a pro rata ..

If they only played each other then that would make sense Whereas teams like Portsmouth are quite close to Plymouth geographically, but still a great trek for Sunderland Hence Sunderland have more travelling to do than any other fanbase in league 1 1 Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.

morganowl Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 does the premier league have a table of average away support? most clubs give between 2-3000 , our away following is the highest in the football league , and its possible we have higher average in attending away games than most premier league clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
