Wingate & Finchley had 23 fans away at Harlow. The 7-2 win is a big confidence boost and we're only in relegation because of goal-difference
A big proportion of Finchley’s support that is. I saw the goals on Instagram. There were a couple of tremendous free-kicks among them!

Yet their team are 15 places higher and 23 points ahead of yours in the league, the competition that is actually important, rather than the silly willy waving away support table. And fair play to anyone willing to travel that distance for so-called ‘regional’ Football

Doesn't bother me in the slightest :bg: They'll bottle the play off challenge again this season despite spending big bucks and will be in the same league as us again next season.

Credit to anyone that travels to away games, but when you're in with a chance of the play-off. Clubs would be expected to at least 3 figures in terms of away following. Tinpot club.
Ffs, we took more down to Hereford for a relegation battle and our form is absolutely dismal and that's a 9/10 hour round trip.

Why would clubs be expected to take triple figure away support? Just to satisfy some internet people? That’s a tinpot mentality. And I’m speaking as someone who regularly travels a 400 round trip for home games and travels all over the country (plus going to Ireland and Scotland this season) to watch my team. I’m even having to do an overnight stay on Saturday. We should be focusing on the positive that anyone would travel to watch non-league Football rather than having pathetic digs at what we consider small numbers (and we’re only having those digs because that team is outperforming our own)

Well Jared, I know your lot have never been a league club but in the proper leagues level of support is important and is something to be debated. It happens in the Prem as well as L2 on relative scales. It doesn't so much down here as the mentality is different, it's all nicey nicey and backslaps all round for attending a game at your local club. Darlo are not in any way the same club as they were but the fans are still steeped in league mentality and have that in their DNA to travel the length and breadth of the country to follow their side. So that'll be why clubs like that take the piss out of Spendy and whoever else. Traditional NL sides generally take much smaller proportions of fans to aways than ex league teams so they come in for stick. That's just the way it is. If you don't like it, fine, just bring in the natural order and you won't have to worry about clubs banging on about this down here ever again.

Weren’t Hartlepool and Darlington regularly mocked for their level of support? They were regularly. And then natural order has sent you both here, where you both get to live your fantasies of being biggish clubs in relatively small ponds.

And we traditional NL sides mock the types who care more about how many people travel to watch them rather than how their club are doing knowing you trying and failing to compensate for being left behind by the real natural order

I've never heard of us being mocked (on a wide scale) for our level of support, which isn't bad in all honesty bearing in mind the clubs around us. In my lifetime home crowds were always average for L2 and L1 we regularly got at least 4/5 sometimes averaging over 6k, which is respectable enough for those levels. And both Darlo and Pools have always travelled relatively well so have a go at us for being perennially shit, but we'll always have fans ready to turn out and watch us.

I can't believe I am doing this, but I actually agree with a Hartlepool fan.

We've travelled fantastically well for as long as I can remember, not huge numbers compared to some others. But we have a good following, think there's a message somewhere on here that shows we have like the 3rd best away support in our league on average and the best for away support with regards to travel time compared to the likes of Stockport etc.

Our average this season is roughly 1,400 +. This is fantastic considering how utter dog shite we have been.

Looks like we'll be selling out yet another away allocation.... almost a month away, but at around 12.30 today (after going on sale at 10am) we have sold over 800 of our allocation of 1100 for the trip to Chippenham. It only took me 2 hours and approx 400 calls to get through... junior is still on the phone.

I'm sure I've read somewhere that us more isolated clubs (Pools, Darlo, Carlisle, Exeter, Plymouth and Torquay) have amongst the largest percentage of home support travelling away. It's kind of a perverse thing that we have to travel further than other clubs so more of us make the effort.

And it's usually irrespective of how shite we are. The only season I went to every away game was 95-96 when we only won one away all season (at Darlo but we always seemed to win at Feethams).
