Away Attendances League 2. 2023-2024

Source: The Football Forum

We averaged 355 across the season.

Unsurprisingly Wrexham are top. Impressive numbers from Mansfield considering the size of the town, but they have been near the top of the league all season.

Good away support from Grimsby.

Bradford has a large home/away disparity.

Usual poor away attendances from Salford City.

The first number is away attendance. The number in brackets is Home Attendance and the third number is final league position.

Decent enough figures for County. Not sure whether the home figures are inclusive of the corresponding away support or not. Be interesting if anyone knows what the break-even figure might have been.

The home figures include the away attendance.

Mostly around the 10% mark, away compared to home.
The outliers being mainly those with huge home support.

The mean average might be just over 10% but if you look at the median it's 8.3%, showing a wide spread (from 6.2 Bradford to 16.9 Mansfield).

Actually there are only five clubs close to 10% (Doncaster 9.8%, Notts Co 10.3%, Tranmere 10.4% and Gillingham 10.6% and Barrow at 10.9%)

Facts are important...

Of course, and we had FGR as our nearest team, and Bradford at the end of Sparkys reign, compensated by having extra capacity for both Wrexham and Swindon due to MU.
