Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[Oldbury]

1.1m population = 19k fans (less than 2%}
250k population = 4300 at the same %

We’ve been selling the ground out for a fair while. This season we are at 99.9% capacity with high ticket prices and caps and only 1000 away fans.

In the case of Birmingham, there’s Three clubs competing for punters from that 1.1M.
The Three are currently averaging 88k a home game, between them. Not brilliant by any means.

I’m not too knowledgeable on the area of Luton, but are there many other football clubs playing in the Luton post code / 210k catchment area ?

Forget the 1.1m population. It’s very diluted from the ethnic make up of the area. In Luton’s case they are just North of London so that won’t help them.

Jose - what was the exact official figure for us at your place Saturday?

You should have turned us over - we didn't play well.

 

[djs]

Too high that

Approx
2150 reading 2149
2180 Wall 2177
4500 PNE
2300 Hudders 2356
2900 Boro 2857
2200 Hull 2204
1250 Cardiff

Chased up ours and Cardiff, will try Boro too.

Just seen PNE have been given another 300 on top of their initial 1000, top effort.

 

[Brad-Owl]

2,612 tickets sold for Blackburn up to yesterday morning, might get close to 3,000 by match day. Crazy prices probably put 1,500 to 2,000 off going.

Allocated 2,000 for trip to WBA at a very reasonable priced £20 per ticket for adults.
These will be gone within 48 hours of going on sale on Monday.

Was looking forward to this until sky moved it. Can't make the Sunday so just a day on the piss in London now instead for us.

Yeah, it’s buggered me aswell. Don’t think I’m even going to catch much on the tele.

Top following that, also will be a close game, both teams started the season very well.

Fair play to any Bristol City lads coming up tonight, M5/M42/M1 on a Friday afternoon is akin to the 7th circle of hell. Imagine the high possibility of a win might tempt a few at least.

Was on the 8.40 out of Marylebone and got to Brum at half 10.

You didn’t stop off in Solihull on your way through by any chance did you Bobs? I was at Solihull station yesterday and there were Charlton stickers all over the bogs!!!

Brum - Marylebone is definitely the route to take these days. That Euston to New Street is an absolute arse.

For the prices u paid today, that's a very good turn out, was it 40 pound plus, which is crazy for championship football.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Yeah was 40 quid.

 

[Derby1971]

Yeah was 40 quid.

That's far to high, a lad I know from sheff went and said he will never pay it again, but we'll done to all those that went and backed there team, I think Blackburn should take a long hard look at themselves charging u and Leeds that price and no one else is just plain wrong. Any way rant over.

1,128 Preston at Charlton.

 

[LeylandWhite]

Quality following that.

Quality following that for a early kick off on sky, I bet all those that went had a great day, top of the league as well, very interesting close league at the moment.
