Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[Jamo]

Yep, Wednesday will get 5,200. If we could I'm sure we'd give you the north half of the West stand too but it's "unsafe". No one's had it this season, not even our own fans on the odd occasion the demand has been there.

We'll have about 400 at QPR tonight. Season being over and all that.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Thought they'd sold around 1k

 

[SF_]

Burton sold 90 tickets for Wednesday away tonight apparently.

I'd guess more at 900

It's solid defensively just lacks a goal scorer, complete opposite to us over the last two seasons.

Two terrible managers haven't helped but facts are the squad is awful pal. We've used four goalkeepers this season which speaks for itself. We also have abysmal midfield on par with if not worse than Rotherham's. Take out Morsy and it's probably a mid table League One midfield. We've got a goalscorer now (Bogle) but because the midfield is so bad he gets absolutely nothing to work with and has to come up with something special on his own to score like he did against Norwich and QPR. Like I said in the relegation thread, we had one chance to stay up and we sold it for 7m on deadline day.

Max Power
David Perkins
Shaun MacDonald
Michael Jacobs
Ryan Tunnicliffe
Alex Gilbey (mitigating circumstances, been injured since September)
Sam Morsy (only good player)
Ryan Colclough
Josh Laurent
Jack Byrne

If that midfield doesn't have League One mediocrity written all over it then I don't know what does.

I think a lot of fans underestimate the importance of a consistent keeper who can play every week to a good standard. Always said it's the most crucial position in a team to get right. Having Ali Al Habsi kept us in the Premier League for about three extra years. It's no coincidence that we're now both down in the bottom three and have used so many keepers. Shunting Jussi to one side and signing the hopeless Bogdan this summer was a catastrophic mistake by Caldwell and the now sacked chief scout and one that we've never recovered from.

Thank fuck for Keiren Westwood

Still did the double over us, and our midfield has cost us roughly £30 million pounds ffs

Disagree. Jake Buxton is not a championship player anymore and Dan Burn never will be. Warnock is alright but getting on a bit. Connolly is decent.

They've got something like the 7th best defensive record in the division, they must be doing something right mate.

They put about 8 men behind the ball, that's why they don't score many

Fair play to those 443 Wolves fans who went to watch a drab 0-0 in the middle of nowhere on a Tuesday night.

Just wanted to comment how impressed I was by the Huddersfield home support section next to the away end tonight. Constant, and I mean constant, singing for the whole game, even if the drum becomes a bit tedious after a while. Just proves what can be done if the club allow it, take note Dr Xia.

He seems a massive supporter of safe standing, so hopefully we can be a leading catalyst towards that happening. I don't want a bloody drum in our ground, and from when I used to go (only went to one last season, and none this season... Lack of money this, not paying Randy last), the Holte upper was always vocal. Unless things have changed, the upper Holte stewarding is quite lax which is useful for that. The North Stand however is the worst place I've ever been in the ground, derby vs Blues and people telling me to sit down. Fair enough it was a dull as fuck 0-0 but come on!

Sold out?

 

[JJH]

Yes it was.

 

[Jamo]

526 barnsley watching us lose for the 16th out of 17 times at Loftus road since our last win there in 1950. 1 win in 8, season over, I think that's a very decent effort.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

Sold out?

As always.

 

[blademan89]

As always.

Thought it would be just seemed a couple of hundred short on the normal amount.

Possibly a case of didn't sell out the allocation quick enough. We had a 1.7k "sell out" at Birmingham this season, could've had 3k+ if the demand was there.

 

[JJH]

They sold it out last week, their Twitter said 2,000 fans heading north as well.

 

[villa loyal]

We sold out Derby 3 weeks before the game but that was 100 short of what some teams have taken. Either way last night was a sell out along with all but 3 games that we have played this season.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

The away allocation at Huddersfield is over 1,900 as it can't be segregated any other way.
