Stickied Non-League Away Support 2023/24

[Josh Butler]

Further down the pyramid - but..
1,700 Tamworth at redditch ( step 4 ).

Think the total crowd was 1800.... Redditch reckon about 1300.
Can tell villa were away as that is double Tamworths average home gate! Believe it is step 3 as Tamworth are promoted to NLN

Thanks for this. Looks like Tamworth got a bit carried away…

Their crowds can be decent - 1500-2000 home fans is the potential for non league but as you say most are villa or blues in that area. The ground is shocking which puts people off going and the fact they have a large element of bellends and wannabe hooligans that follow them.

In fairness about 900 went when we visited there in the trophy this year. There were only 100 of us and at the time it was their biggest or 2nd biggest crowd this season. Never seemed to be 900 when we went there in the NLN.
Oddly. I don't mind it. Them pig pens in the away end are a bit odd but even a small following can look full on there

 

[Josh Butler]

411 Buxton at chester
283 kettering at kidderminster
184 banbury at Scarborough
90 farsley at Spennymoor
68 telford at boston

 

[Clem Fandango]

217 Chorley at Gloucester

 

[AndyPark]

No idea on the numbers as an attendance wasn’t announced.

But looked to be about 250 or so Darlo down at Peterborough, I mean Kettering.

 

[Clem Fandango]

What's happened with their ground grading?

 

[Harrier94]

Nothing official has been confirmed last night but estimate of 1000 Harriers fans at Alfreton.

Odd that nothing official has come out as we were told earlier in the day how had been sold at that time. Might be becuase we outnumbered them or close to it.

 

[Josh Butler]

921 kidderminster at alfreton

 

[Josh Butler]

What's happened with their ground grading?

Decision 10 days after apparently. So some time next week

 

[Harrier94]

921 kidderminster at alfreton

With apparently exactly 1000 Alfreton fans. Definitely wasn't 700 at most from them

 

[Josh Butler]

512 Gloucester at brackley

 

[Clem Fandango]

Weird, was announced as 532

 

[Josh Butler]

Weird, was announced as 532

Yeah brackley put 512, Gloucester 532

 

[Clem Fandango]

I mean on their PA as well they said 532. But anyway doesn't matter, cracking away support. Not sure how many they will bring to Chester, there's one coach booked by the looks of it.

I suspect chester have only given them the corner that away fans usually get there and not behind the goal. They'll probably have 150-200

Yeah that's right, we've got home fans behind both goals for Sunday.

Brackley sold 174 as of now although some of them are probably home fans as well.

I saw some tweets if theirs questioning how home fans were able to get tickets
Brackley ought to have done collect at their club only. Think we did that for the york final last year as they all got first dibs before they sold any to us.
Although the short turnaround may have prevented that

I thought it might be collect at the club only as well, or on the coach on the way to the game on Sunday if that's how they were travelling. Will be enough for Brackley in the end anyway as they haven't sold out their initial allocation yet, the second allocation is being held back if they haven't touched it by tomorrow evening for extra home tickets to be released.

I think the valid URL to buy away tickets is only available through Brackley's website, won't stop home fans but will slow them down finding it given that it's only casuals missing out at the moment.

Just a shame that for various reasons we're not allowed to touch full capacity of the stadium.

 

[Josh Butler]

242 brackley at chester. Presumably sold out?

 

[Josh Butler]

NLN rough averages 22/23. League games only
I've put a median figure in brackets as the mean can be skewed by extreme values, so gives a good idea of a typical turnout

Chester 334 (245)
Darlington 245 (205)
Scarborough 206 (180)
Hereford 156 (100)
Kiddy 149 (80)
Boston 135 (84)
Kings lynn 106 (70)
Banbury 104 (63)
Kettering 90 (62)
Fylde 88 (40)
Chorley 81 (30)
Buxton 71 (40)
Telford 66 (60)
Gloucester 63 (50)
Spennymoor 63 (40)
Southport 52 (40)

Alfreton 42 (40)
Leamington 40 (39)
Brackley 37 (21)
Bradford 36 (30)
Farsley 34 (25)
Peterborough 29 (20)
Curzon 24 (20)

OVERALL AVERAGE 96

As I managed to find a distance chart, I've scaled up or down the numbers based on a teams mileage compared with the average for the league. So for example blyth will have inflated figures and Alfreton will be lower as they're very central to most teams

Chester 305
Darlington 284
Scarborough 243
Hereford 170
Kidderminster 136
Boston 135
Kings lynn 121
Banbury 102
Fylde 90
Kettering 86
Blyth 72
Chorley 72
Gloucester 72
Southport 64
Spennymoor 62

Brackley 37

To add to the above, the most popular ground to visit was Southport with 138 on average, clearly boosted by Chesters visit which accounted for nearly half of the season total (1336/3176) and would be 84 otherwise, putting it level with boston in the lower half
Scarborough was consistently well visited on 121, with fylde on 120 and Telford on 119

Blyth, Spennymoor and Darlington were the 3 lowest visited, with 72, 72 and 68 on average.
