Leaving us with an 1,197 average, limited by some meagre away allocations. Over half of our away games sold out - indicated by the S.

Ironic isn't it that one of the lowest on that list is the 600 at Harrogate. If the ground was big enough, I'm convinced we would take at least 10 times that amount.

 

[Son of Cod]

Understandable given the circumstances, but decent nonetheless.

Said all season we’ll get 22,000+ at some point - this fixture might be it.

Having said that, if we miraculously win our next two and results elsewhere go in our favour, it’ll sell out.

24,400 ish.

Some going that, fair play Bradford. Great numbers all season.

It's not even really about the size of the ground for me, the frustrating but is the crap allocation when there are loads of spare seats elsewhere. I understand they don't give out 3,000 but to keep it so low pretty shithousey. Could surely give an extra 500 or something and leave an empty block to separate home and away fans and still have my more than enough for them. I really hope we don't get them away on Boxing Day again, total waste of a potentially big away following. Notts will do us nicely if they come up.

We've sold in the region of 700 for our must-win local derby with Salford at the weekend. Sorry - meaningless (to us), 500 mile round trip on a Monday lunchtime.

I think the highest we've been all season is 14th. Pretty good.

Fair play to Rochdale and Crewe for giving us extra allocation recently and Donny a couple of months ago.

We didn't give you extra. Our away stand holds 3650 but a few rows are blocked off for safety reasons.
If it were up to me I would have moved the season ticket holders from the end blocks in the seated stand behind the goal and given you another 1000 or so seats there.

Not that it matters, but it's quite funny that we have sold out for our last L2 game away at Harrogate, and without going all Firthy, we probably would have sold more if available.

Apologies, I thought you only usually allocate half that stand for away fans. I presume then it depends on demand, such as Stockport and ourselves, probably not that tinpot team down the road owned by the ex United lot though!

I hope you come straight back up. Great club and always so welcoming to Bantams and the surrounding pubs and clubs. I had a great time in the Rochdale Sports club before the match with free safe parking

You will probably outnumber the home fans.

Yeah but they had 52 on the hill

You looking for a new club to support? Don’t see you on here that much but plenty about us last 24 hours. Can’t blame you come on down it’s nice and cheap.

 

[EricSabin]

Not forgetting the 2,000 in the home end

 

[E10rifle]

Not forgetting the 2,000 in the home end

Leeds would have had 3,000 in the home end.

 

[EricSabin]

I personally know 4 Cobblers fans who have had to go in the home end on Monday, so extrapolate that across the wider fanbase and there’ll probably be 6-700 in there. And if there’s any hills near Prenton Park there’ll be a few on there too.

 

[F!RTHY]

Don’t exaggerate.

 

[Ainsty]

Word from the club is that once the work to the south stand is completed over the summer the away capacity will increase to 1100. The only problem is that at some matches there will be more away fans than home supporters

Salford have given Stockport 536 tickets for the play offs. How have they gotten away with that?

Fucking plastic c***

All they have to give them is 10% isn't it? Crap after they've given more than that to anyone what needed it throughout the season but that's the way things are now. They'll fill the home ends because loads of United fans will go. Joke club, hope Stockport smash them.

It’s our fault. We didn’t get that third goal yesterday

Not away support but our home average of 6279 this season is our highest since 2002 which is the highest since we dropped out of the second tier. Our home support only really fluctuates by a couple of thousand across the four tiers we've been in over the last 30 years so while it's not massive compared to some, it's really positive that we're up at the higher end of our averages. A massive fuck you to all the Fentyists that said new ownership wouldn't boost home attendances. Also not boosted by a new brand of plastics à la Wrexham or Lincoln either so we keep the moral high ground too.

That's an actual average of real bums on seats too. Bit of a pisstake that Donny sit above us in 8th on the overall table, I'd imagine there's at least one or two others above us that we'd have finished above had they not posted fake numbers.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Son of Cod Curious and too lazy to find it for myself but do if you have the entire league table for the averages?
