Every League One club’s average AWAY attendance for 2022/23

The 2022/23 League One regular season is now over and now we can look forward to the play-offs. Plymouth Argyle won the league and Ipswich Town joined them in the Championship. Barnsley, Bolton Wanderers, Peterborough United and Sheffield Wednesday will battle it out for the final promotion spot, whilst the losers will remain in the third tier for another year.

Three of those four teams have played in the Premier League, with Bolton and the Owls both big clubs in their own right, given they once dined at the top table in English football, even before the glitz and glamour of the Prem before 1992. They find themselves in the third tier but still boast some of the best support in the country, and they have to be applauded for their dedication to their team.

It was MK Dons, Accrington Stanley, Morecambe and Forest Green Rovers who suffered relegation, and it comes as no surprise that those four clubs away support was amongst the lowest.

League One has some interesting clubs, with some in the same city as their rivals, who may be in the division above them or higher than them, whilst there are other teams who come from small towns. Bristol Rovers are in a two-club city, and find themselves below Bristol City, but despite that, they average more than 8,000 fans at home, and on the road are just a few numbers below four figures.

There are a lot of factors to consider when it comes to away followings, some clubs are fortunate to be based in a good position with a reasonable distance to other teams, whilst others have a long slog ahead of them, and rack up plenty of travel miles.

Here we take a look at how the League One table would look if based on average away attendances. All information comes from Football League website The 72, who have done it for all three divisions.
