Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[villa loyal]

Fucking hell, Heddlu decided they'd actually like to do their jobs then?

surprised me a bit because there was a bit of trouble at our place when we played them and we only allocated them 2500 instead of the 2800. Makes sense though and we are not a high risk club like Leeds are. Newcastle will probably get extra tickets too.

We've never been given more there on police advice. Last two have been night games and on Sky with no trains running so hasn't really mattered anyway.

Not what it was once was though is it playing games in Cardiff now. Ninian park was fucking superb.

Nah, their new ground is shit. Ninian Park was one of the first grounds my old man took me to, fuck knows why but I'm glad that I was able to be there for a game. Proper atmosphere.

Rugeley.

Rugeley don't speak that different, mate. To us they do, but Rugeley would most likely be grouped in with Walsall/Birmingham before Stafford in my experience down there. The mother lives there too so I'm down once a week or so.

 

[Bully306]

Sadly we've decided to charge Wolves Category C prices (£36) for our game in early Jan but making it half price for our fans.

Seems a bit tit for tat

Blimey. I blame Wolves really as we should of extended the half price to away fans, we have every other time we've done it.

I'll probably end up in your end.

South Stand is your best bet.

I do not think it will be, but does anyone know if Newcastle vs QPR would get moved due to FA cup replays or anything silly like that? It is on Sky already (Wed, 1st Feb) but I want to book my train tickets this week before they go up and I dont trust myself to get this right. So I would rather trust complete strangers.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Won't be changed pal, Cup replays are the week after, that is a designated league week.

 

[QPR_Matt]

Tickets from London are only £56, happy with that! Though, obviously have to factor in a hotel etc but should be a good day/night out. Get to see one good team embarrass another team ... just a shame I support the shitter one. Football is only a small part of the away day though.

Ey Up...
Villa only given us 2,400 for the away fixture, doesn't it hold 2,800 that side bit?
(Our away selling arrangements going in to melt down and controversy yet again!)

 

[mossypne]

Rovers have sold 2100 for Saturday.

yes it holds 2800. cardiff only got allocated 2500 so personally I think it's a police decision for some bizarre reason.

surprised if true as its your best season for donkeys. Can't see you not selling out Preston on Boxing Day if I'm honest. Brighton is a trek for a Friday night game tbf.

 

[QPR_Matt]

Only sold about 600 for Rotherham away this Satursday. I would expect it to go up to near 1000, but until we start playing better than we are (or getting better results) fans are staying away. Our home attendances are equally as shit as our away.

LUFC Twitter saying we have 300 left out of 3000, Preston is on boxing day with no trains but should be selling it out.

Not a fucking chance Newcastle or villa would Come close to selling nearly 3k at Brighton on a Friday night if they'd been as shit as leeds for this long and played there plenty of times already. Leeds might not come top of the averages this year but they still have the best of those 3 imo.

I am surprised Leeds have not sold out Brighton purely because they are having a great season for once and they have the biggest fanbase in the league. Leeds have the best away support in the league without doubt. Us and Newcastle will finish above them but like you said they have been doing it for years. Great club, great fans.

3154 for QPR sold out

2829/3394 sold so far for Cardiff after new year and 1514/2000 sold so far for Norwich away next Tuesday which won't sell out.

 

[villa loyal]

Newcastle have sold out just shy of 7k for Blackburn. By all accounts it never even got to members and was snapped up by season ticket holders. With members and general sale id imagine they could of sold over 10k easily.

Not everyone is convinced yet, results have been better than performances but a result against Brighton will go a long way towards it.

Finished wanking them off yet?

Bristol sold 450 for Saturday's game

Bristol aren't playing in Huddersfield this weekend...

Winds me up big time when people call us sheffield. On the other hand 450 is not the finest.

It's wank mate but we've already established that we don't travel up north. It'll just about scrape 700 as it usually does, but I can't really criticise as I can't be arsed with a £70 train journey to see us lose up there.

 

[AnkleBiter]

I don't think 700's bad at all. I mean who really wants to do that journey at this time of the year? I'd only be tempted if we were in great form and it was dirt cheap!
