Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[Walkley_Owl]

Wasnt alive but id imagine over 10/15k at least then about 500 left when the 4th went in. There was easily over 10k when bobby bagged a brace in the 3-1 win in the early 90s. All over the ground

Nowhere near 10k in March 92 fella. Not a prayer just an urban myth peddled by your lot

Just thought I'd prepare you for our poor upcoming following at Wolves on Tuesday night.

How many have we sold? 800+ would be decent given our record at their place.

Forget about Molineux and get some serious protests and action planned for the ongoing problem your club has of getting rid of the rugger.

Easter follows Christmas mate....

For some reason i thought it was at the start of the season

 

[QPR_Matt]

Congrats to QPR for bringing the quietest 4,000 fans we've ever had or are likely to ever see.

That was abysmal support for the numbers.

QPR are one of the quietest set of supporters we have had at St Andrews this season.

Our support is hot topic on QPR forums. Most slating how shit vocally our support is; What is the point of having high numbers if they do not get behind the team?!

We'd sold 3,200 by Saturday morning for Blackburn. Apparently now on the last block of the lower tier which was ~4,200. Looks like we might sell it out with nearly 4 weeks still to the game.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Rovrum really only take 2500 to Hillsborough?

Christ, that's garbage.

I'm waiting for the top tier to go on sale.

Very strange. Lower tiers are always far better for atmosphere imo

None of the lads I go on with have tickets yet, they're waiting for the top tier, there was a reason but can't remember what it was.

Poor for our standards i would admit but theres not many clubs what would take around 35% of their home support away whilst having a very poor away record and having to pay 30 quid a ticket.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Sold 1,360 for Brighton, pay on the gate available.

Cracking effort that. Think you may give your top 6 spot up tommorrow for now at least with a 0-0 draw

Haha - you're proper worried about them going up aren't you

 

[mossypne]

Just short of 4000 Rovers tickets sold, with just 400 left in the lower tier. Expect us to sell out in the next week or so. Can't fucking wait.

Don't doubt it fella.......until we win 1-0 with a dodgy penalty

 

[blademan89]

I fucking am yes. Its all we have left to be bothered about this year as our seasons fizzled out again and them throwing a top 6 spot away would at least be a little bit of good news. Cant see it though they have a rediculously easy run in after tommorrow.

Nah according to carlos you get robbed every game

Nah we've not been good enough for the last few games to be fair, some decisions have gone against us but that's football.

Thats the thing managers and fans forget so quickly the decisions that go for them over the season. The only thing i agree with technology wise is the goal line stuff, leave the rest of it as it is.

To be reyt there's not too many decisions I'd argue about over the season both for and against however the poor one at Hull and the fact it was highlighted as being fundamentally incorrect is one that rankles.

 

[Brad-Owl]

True.
Beat the 48,110 at Villa v Bournemouth in '72.
There were another 45K at Bramall Lane for the return,ofcourse.

Easily 20,000+ Wednesdayites at bramall lane for that one, seemed to be everywhere South stand, shoreham and john street as well as usual bramall lane end.

Yes something needs to change with the choice of appealing yellow cards. It didnt effect that game but has cost you missing your best player the next 2 games. Although how many teams would be appealing yellows it would be beyond a joke

I don't think we should be having to appeal in this case though, it's clear cut. Interesting that the referee is from the Brighton area eh?

I think your looking a bit too far into it with the brighton remark tbh. He obviously thought hed dived and if he had took a little extra time to see the hull players reaction then the right decision would of been made, he just rushed a bit imo.

Christ, that's garbage.

So many stopped away because I think they were expecting a heavy defeat, there's only one Rotherham fan where I work and he had booked today off because he was expecting a defeat and didn't want to face 50+ Wednesdayites taking piss again.

Just shows how unpredictable football is, not pretty for most part but Rotherham had a plan that worked well. Warnock might be disliked by many owls fans but we can't deny what a top manager he's been over years.

SUFC biggest mistake in my lifetime was getting rid when they dropped out of prem.

I was kidding but I stand by my opinion, he's a shit c***. He had the card our before blowing.

Yep but thats when our deluded fans who used to boo us off in the prem after drawing at home to everton and losing to city all wanted him sacked, they had ideas that we should of been an established premier league team and my god look at us now. He definitely failed in the premier league with us though his tactics and plan away from home was completely inept but it was a learning curve for him and he should of been given a chance to take us back its the least he deserved.
