Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[Walkley_Owl]

Our club has today said no more after the 2,600, which is a bit annoying to be honest.

Why? It's hardly as though you're renowned for taking big numbers away......

 

[Walkley_Owl]

£25. Same for all away fans at s:mk. No grading. We tried it for a season or two. In fact Leeds probably paid more back in 2010 than they are now!

We are doing it differently now though and the first 2,500 or so are in the upper tier.

Good article here in respect of Championship prices (apologies if it's been posted elsewhere):

http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/sep/03/championship-ticket-prices-52-pounds-game

No the article is fucking bollocks and poorly researched, the maximum at ours is 45 quid for away fans but it's not going to be charged, also fails to mention we get fleeced, like Leeds at most games.

We do - but 99.9% of away games most of our fans boycott.

 

[El Guapo]

Aww, so sweet. We took more than that to Wembley for some paint trophy.

Unless you're including armchair fans listening on the radio... it was around 48,000 according to the Dingle & Star.

I was including armchair fans. And Bob. Also I was counting fingers and then dividing by 10, to increase our gate by 20%. Cheating, I know.

We have sold 4,000 for Fulham on Friday 25th September. I am one of those going, and I have never been to Craven Cottage before.

Don't forget your survial kit, food ration packs and globe atlas, Matt. Don't forget to water the plants, too.

A treacherous journey, if ever there was one.

Leeds allocation at MK will not be increased beyond 5,000.
As such MK are now selling home end tickets under a strict buying regime via their database, defined local postcodes only and proof of a driving licence or a bloody utility bill.
How much hassle is that for the sake of just giving some more in the away end to satisfy the Leeds demand.
Madness in my book.

(Aside: Leeds allocation for the Sunday 1.15 TV game at Boro in a few weeks is 2,800)

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Got to be te police enforcing that, in Winkelman was happy to take 9000 wolves fans I'm sure if it was his choice he would give you more.

I don't see why we don't really, I don't remember any trouble when you came last time and you must have brought thousands.

1760 odd sold for Birmingham so far, imagine a few will potd so hopefully we can reach the 2000 mark.

Should sell out. Only put on general sale today which I think is poor from the club. Shouldn't give season ticket holders/members anymore than a few days to purchase in my opinion.

 

[KevinMcallister]

5k sold out, the police make me fucking laugh

complete bellends , scared of doing some actual work, even in a bumper crowd it's only a few dozen morons that spoil it for everyone, i'm sure 1000 Overtime paid policemen can handle 25 chavs

That could be down to government cut backs. They cant afford to do that anymore.

 

[BCFC David]

Sold the 2600 for Birmingham. Shame that we arnt allocated anymore.

Yeah, decent effort to be fair.

Would have been good to see 3k+ there, but should be a good day nonetheless.

 

[Cardsfan]

1682 Ipswich at Reading yesterday

 

[Ciderup]

2567 Cider'eds at Brum. Some turned away by West Midlands gestapo for looking a 'risk'.

 

[Rammy]

3,234 Derby fans at Preston.

 

[Cardsfan]

892 Hull at Brighton
1845 Wolves at Bolton
2417 Sheffield Wed at Burnley
501 Rotherham at Charlton
621 Brentford at Leeds
363 MK Dons at Middlesbrough

 

[El Guapo]

Top effort that from Birmingham City. Kudos. It's just short of half we took there in League 1. For such a small team, you're doing a cracking job these days.

1,845 at Bolton?

That's only half of what we took there last season, and the season before that. Top effort though from Wolves. Kudos.

 

[Westbars_Spireite]

Good turn outs from Derby and Bristol City. Not bad from Hull.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

We sold, God knows why it's a reduced allocation.

Probably police advice after the bollox the other year

Must just not want 4k away fans there then suppose its a big difference in terms of noise having an extra 1500 away fans there which obviously benefits the away team.

350k down the drain because of noise?

 

[blademan89]

I know but i can't think of any other reason can you?

 

[Westbars_Spireite]

What is that random block of seats in the Burnley away end that looks like a director's box? Always empty and looks odd.

 

[JJH]

It's the same with Birmingham, the stand we were in holds 5k yet they refused to sell us more than 2,600. Can you think of any logical explanation?
