Home fans outnumbered ?

Does anyone know of a website that may holds stats on away support in the cup? Just wondered what the largest away following has been in the third round.

Has there ever been more away fans than home in the FA Cup? Another puzzler.

It will be a great game tomorrow and gutted I cannot afford the fuel down. Was one of the best away days last year with only a few thousand LCFC fans so this one should be great. The team are aware of the support they will have, which hopefully will get them raring to go.

Heres hoping for a 5-0 drumming

KTF I remember going to Macclesfield a few seasons ago, with something like 2000 LCFC fans and 500 Macclesfield fans!

Also, didn't Leeds take a ridiculous amount of fans to a cup game last season, can't quite remember but I know it was in the region of 10-12,000 fans went.

Well I'm sure they took a fair few to Arsenal, but it's rare for away fans to outnumber how fans in the FA Cup, as usually large away support = big(ger) team and draws in the locals for the lower tier teams.

I think there's a good chance we may have the best away following tomorrow (although perhaps Wolves; with them travelling to Brum)

Wolves have only sold about 1k, by all accounts.

I think you'll get a result TBH.

You're bound to sell your allocation against your more famous neighbours.

Enjoy your big day out.

I actually think we are the more famous club these days. Mainly due to our new owners and the fact we had Sven Goran Eriksson as manager. This helped raise our international profile a bit.

Ask a foreigner who Nottingham Forest are and they will probably reply (in a Borat type accent) "they are the oldest club in the English football league. Juventus copied thier kit"

Nottingham: Proud to have its football kits copied by ultimately more successful teams since 1862.

"awww just because no one wants to ever copy anything about Leicester! "

I'm not sure about that, I think JLS got their colour coding from Showaddywaddy

On a serious note, does anyone know if they will keep the Forest fans in after the final whistle for their own safety tomorrow?
