    No surprise there! I don’t like their brand of football either.

    The offers the club have done in the past, has really built the fan base, tickets for adults are no longer cheap, which has often been used by others to explain our larger attendances in league two by fans of other clubs
    Long may it continue, the atmosphere at VP has been great on occasions and even when games have been poor the fans have stuck with it these past few seasons ,and appreciate the effort put in.
    Promotion this time, could see sold out signs at VP on a regular basis and surely would put the club even more in the shop window.

    I would think we could increase the number to 19,000-20,000+ Season Ticket holders if we got to the Championship and around 2,000 Pay on the Day.

    Shouldn't need much tempting if we get to the championship, not with the likes of Spurs, West Ham and Wolves possibly in the division, not to mention adversaries like Sheffield United and Hull City maybe.

    I've got one that I've been keeping a track of throughout the season for every game but missed a couple of weeks and the last day so got to add them, will upload a copy either this evening or tomorrow.

    For some reason the share link won't work so below is a screenshot of the table, green are sell outs and yellow are based on estimates as there's no official numbers announced.

    These are the individual tables, we are 2nd for overall attendance and home fans but top the away following table. We're midtable on the away fans as % of home fans but that is to be expected with such high home numbers and the majority of games being sold out.

    Burton wasn't quite a sell out, we were about 50 or so short

    The %age of away V home fans is the most meaningless stat out there , however the three other stats are great work.

    Noticeable to me is the lack of sell outs for Doncaster and Rotherham, I know they had poor seasons overall, but 1 sell out between them with so many teams on their doorstep,? each other, Barnsley, Mansfield, Huddersfield, Bradford

    That's really interesting.

    My understanding is that in the MR, Blocks A-F house about 650 fans and Block G about 450 giving the overall capacity of MR of 4350. I don't recall where those numbers came from. If those are in the right ballpark, it suggests the away support housed in the MR is 1100. And yet there are example of the Away support exceeding that number at almost half of our home games - 11 to be precise. I don't recall the TL Dallas being used for away fans on so many occasions. Are my numbers for how many each block hold a bit out?

    Apparently Block G has 547 seats of which 432 are still available.

    The allocation for the 2 away blocks in Midland Road is 1,167
    https://www.stockportcounty.com/news/2026/january/19/ticket-info---bradford-city-v-county---17-02-26/

    I think most of the games with TL Dallas used were early on in the season and a few only had a couple hundred so probably faded from the memory. Looking at it quickly I think only 4 of the 1200+ attendances have been since New Year, the rest are Christmas or before.

    I didn't actually realise there were that many until you mentioned it. The average away fans was higher than I thought it would be but I'd put that down to the 3 sell outs contributing to nearly a third of the total away fans for the season.
