With Rotherham topping the league it's unsurprising they have a good away following, Lincoln is a surprise though, but if we were top 6 we'd be far better supported away.

Lincoln have been winning games every week for the last two years, come close to selling out their home games most weeks and have pretty much turned the club around in that time, so I suppose it just shows the benefit of a bit of momentum.

There's an argument for saying 10% of home crowds is a reasonable benchmark.  Ipswich are about 10%, Pompey just below that and Bolton above it.  Coventry away numbers bound to be boosted by not attending home games.  Sunderland well below 10% although you'd have to take geography into account for them (and Pompey).  If we were doing proper comparison, it would have to take into account sold out aways, like we could have taken 5k to Accy but Sunderland properly sold out all their Saturday aways where limit is under 3k.

I don’t get this Sunderland and geography thing That’s always used. 

southend. For us 245miles. Sunderland 293 miles 

Lincoln us 113 them 145

Donny is 75 them 108

peterboro us 158 them 194

but and I’ve said this before they are just off the a1m and it’s a piece of piss to get anywhere on the east side of the country. 
 

They are very well supported of that theres no doubt  but they don’t get extra fan points for geography as it isn’t a hindrance to them
