League One attendances

[Darren]

Interesting table here of attendances thus far this season

http://stats.football365.com/dom/ENG/D2/attend.html

What I find interesting is the disparity in resources between the top six and the rest - if you add together the average attendances of those 6, they are more than the rest of the division put together.

Not very surpringsy, 5 of the top 6 in attendances form the top 6 in the division - the only exception is Preston who really are under acheiving.

Team of the season has to be Stevenage - 21st in attendances, yet 6th in the League. Well done to them.

So looking at that, I would assume I'll have no problems getting a ticket for Walsall away (on General Sale). They should be giving us as many as we can sell...

Pigs average is dropping a little. I wonder if ours will creep up a bit as more "glory" supporters come back


Does anyone know if Lenners has been this season?

Charlton

It's a bit surprising that Charlton can't average much better than just under 17,000. They were a PL team not so long ago and

I don't think there are any other big clubs in their part of London. Years ago I heard it said that, "People will always follow a

winning team". It's not happening much there. Incidentally, It's far too soon to assume that they will end in the top spot - as

many people do; their scoring record of late is not impressive and they rely mostly on a tight defence. United can certainly

catch them if they maintain current form.

If we are talking about winning games by the odd goal, I'd rather be winning games 1-0 than 3-2...

If you are winning games 1-0 and the goals dry up a little, you still have a tight defence to fall back on, and wil get some draws as a result.

If you are winning games with a we'll score one more than you metality (yes I know thats hjow you win all games, but you get my drift), and the goals dry up, all of a sudden you start to look very ordinary, and can easily lose four or 5 on the bounce.

of course what you really want to do is be scoring lots and conceding few, that way if things go wrong at one end of the park, you can always fall back on the other end. TBH I see this as what we have been doing against teams outside the top 6...

Given that they have got the home derby to come, I can't see us overtaking their average unless they fall out of even play off contention.

The stat I find most interesting from that site, is the clean sheets one 13. And all 13 are wins.

Does it have average away attendance on their or am I just blind?

Depends which era you compare Charlton's gates to but I'd say Charlton getting their current gates in League 1 is pretty good for them.

Their support went from about 5,000 to 25,000 very quickly when they revamped the Valley etc and they've managed to hold on to a big proportion of that support despite their decline in recent years.

They did a fantastic job building up their support over those years through some very innovative ST offers btw. Otherwise they'd be back down at 6 and 7,000 now.

The biggest stat is that next weeks game at the Theatre of Rust will be the biggest in the Football League for the whole season. 5,000 Blades and 86,000 pigs will be there.

Watch that change tomorrow!

You obviously rounded that down because it'll be 86,003. You should have kept the 3 in because that makes them even more massive.

Yeah forgot that one

 

[Elsecar_Blade]

That is a statistician's dream that website!

Half time score > Full time score comparison is interesting. United haven't turned a game round where they were losing at half time this season = 6 times it has happened, 2 draws and 4 defeats. However, and I'd picked up on this one as an example of DW not panicking several times, on the 11 occasions we've been drawing at half time, we've won 8 times (including today). Most clean sheets for SUFC as well and when we keep a clean sheet (13), we win. End of!

The higher suicide rate might help

I am Olle-cising this, as I find it really useful and am sick of searching for it every time I need it.

 

[Balham]

Love that site. There's likely to be more United fans in Rochdale on Tuesday night than they've averaged this season.

 

[SwissBlade]

I think credit has to go to Wednesday for finally getting an average above 20,000 and getting higher attendances than us this year.

Its probably the best season on and off the pitch since the last century.

How will they possibly beat this next season?
