  Notes

Apart from the league-only average these figures also include cup games (not Herts Senior) and any play off semi final. Click here for last season's stats.

The following plots are shown:

Home Support: The Blue bars at the bottom. The number of home supporters (but see note below).

Away Support: The mauve bars at the top. The number of away supporters (but see note below).

Combined: Any green bars. This is the total attendance if the away suport (and hence the home support) is not known at the time of preparing. This will usually be shortly after the game. Note that some of the stats above cannot be updated when only the combined average is known. These are the: average home attendance; highest home attendance; lowest home attendance; highest away attendance; lowest away attendance.

Running Average: The pink line. The average total attendance up to that match number.

Last season's average: The yellow line. Last season's average total attendance up to that match number. See note below.

Home Average: The brown line. The average home attendance up to that match number.

All averages are the mean.

Sources
The away support is taken from the match reports on the Club's Official Site, unless indicated otherwise. Where these figures were not given the whole column is green. This will also be the case if this graph is updated before the official site's match report is online.

Caveats

Away Support
The Home Support is assumed to be the overall attendance, less the Away Support. This might sound unncecessarily pedantic but I am assuming there are some mixed areas not included in the away figure (I think the Family Stand is mixed? And away supporters are admitted into the Main Stand?)

Last Season's Average
There are rarely exactly the same number of home games season to season. This is mostly down to how many home draws we got in cups, and the amount of progress made in the same. It can also be down to numbers of teams in the league changing (eg promotion/relegation).

Where there are more games this season I usually start doubling up some of the previous season's games towards the end, and note from which number this applies (using the same figure two games running). Where there are fewer games this season I usually start skipping some of the previous season's games towards the end, noting which numbers this applies to. I ensure that the last game of each season is used for the final figures.
