2501 at Ashton Gate today.

All stood as well, very good.

 

[Another Walkley Owl]

About 3700 Leeds fans at Hillsborough, made more noise than previous years, with less fans. Guess the result helped though.

our ticket office said our allocation was 3170.

Presumably 100 decided to stay at home or in the pub then. It does happen.

 

[villa loyal]

I know we had 35 returns last week but they got snapped up straight away.

 

[JJH]

980 Wigan at Florist

 

[villa loyal]

1510 Leeds @ Luton, sold out.

 

[JoshBCFC]

No official number for away fans at Scunthorpe, Lee Johnson says it was around 70-odd.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

70 odd? really? Are you MK Dons?

It was never going to be a big number, it's 3 and a quarter hours away (that's not including any traffic delays), add it's midweek and a League Cup match, not many fans are interested in it. It's still a poor number - 3 figures is really what we should be getting at least, but I can see why many fans didn't go.

 

[villa loyal]

That is pretty bad. Blackpool took 54 to palace last night.

 

[villa loyal]

The worst following we've ever had in recent times was 390 at boro midweek a few years back. Near the end of season, couldn't get relegated and had no chance of breaking into top half so it was a meaningless game. Also had not won away from home all season but we did that night. Still a bad following from us regardless.

 

[Another Walkley Owl]

Cant remember last time we had sub 500, sure the real Walkley can help.Remember less than 800 at Ipswich for a midweek match a couple of years back. Cant imagine either Leeds or Geordies having sub 800, so suprised at that villa number. Less than 100 is terrible for City, especially given the optimism down there at the moment.

The official number was actually 107 according to the bloke who publishes the figures on the Facebook page, but regardless it's still hilarious.

 

[markwwfc1992]

We only took 120ish to Middlesbrough last season.

None in league or cup in 13 years I have records for, and further to that none in the years I've been going away which stretches back to the early 90s

That's a great record. Fair play.

Remember plough lane, probably late 80s, lowest away support I have been in. Pissed it down, people watching through bog window. Seemed like more people in pub pre match than away end. Probably sub 500 but no away records in them days. Cant recall any since in proper matches.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Palmer debut?

Ipswich sky game?

 

[Millerbri]

Huddersfield Away prices announced for us
Adult: £20
Senior 60 and over: £15
Under 18: £5
Initial allocation 1803

Blackburn Away -
Adult: £22
Senior 65 and over: £14
Young Adult 18 – 21: £14
Under 18: £7
Initial allocation 1505

Got to say well done to both clubs but especially to Huddersfield.

Do the rest of you get way with these prices or is it because we are generally the lowest category everywhere we go?

 

[roversfan2001]

Basically everyone but the big teams/derbies (PNE/Wigan/Villa/Leeds/Newcastle) get those prices, or sometimes cheaper.

EDIT: That's not the lowest category for us either, there's Category C that's £4 for kids (don't know other age ranges)

Leeds rarely go below 1k and the only time recently was at Cardiff last season. In the 90s they had below 1k at our place once but every club apart from United and Liverpool has probably had a bad following every now and again. Newcastle have had below 1k more than once in the last few seasons. During the prem era I've only known us go below 1k three times and they were all in the north east midweek at boro and Sunderland and on a Sunday at Newcastle where we was just shy of 1k.

Ipswich sky game?

Yep just looked up, a stunning 471.
