Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[villa loyal]

This confirming that Birmingham city centre is owned by the blue non-ferrous guys.You never Xia Villa fan in Digbeth.
But obviously, Lichfield and other hard-core 'suburbs' (such as Kensington Palace) are Villa territory.

Not so sure about not seeing villa drinking in the centre on a match day, but when the two teams play each other it's mainly blues I'll admit. We have a lot of support that comes from out of the city.

We've also got different words for same tune which doesn't include the bouncing.

We're all fucking wankers at the lane

Correct, can't argue with that

Yea well..Ive always being of the opinion that yer "triumphalist " sorta songs should only be sang when 4-0 up with 3 minutes left.
I was at Hillsborough years ago when my lad was about 6 and we were 4-0 up against Bolton...He said to me "We've won this dad"
and an old bloke tapped me on the shoulder and told me to "calm me kid down"
I know what he meant.
Its the way Wednesday do it....
When the Kop went all seater and your season ticket was set in stone, there was a bloke behind us who was the most pessimistic bugger I ever heard...
Ive been going to Hillsborough since Noah said "i think its starting to spit"...and I always get a bit misty eyed when they trot out first game of the season...He cured me of that cos the first thing outta his mouth were..."Here they f.ookin' come" in the most depressive tones imaginable...I honestly didn't know why in the name of God he came...but I'm beginning to understand it lol

We'll never stop bouncing, keeps you warm in the winter. Sadly Derby fans have made an absolute abomination of a version for themselves.

Miles out of tune, they need music lessons.

Leeds first team to take top and bottom of Leppings lane, good numbers must have been nearly 5,000.

Good support but expect nothing less from your lot.

Gotta get offered it to take it

4,600 Never known em so quiet, win lose or draw Leeds fans usually continue to sing.

Apart from first 15 mins they were very poor, worst side I've seen for a while at S6.

Few clubs not giving them out this weekend .

 

[markwwfc1992]

Don't think Burton ever give away numbers. I'll buy a programme for the Villa game to see what they give.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Don't think we've ever done a deal for free travel. £20 for ticket and travel to Hull is very comendable.

Take it back, we're doing free coach travel to Norwich away on a Tuesday night at the end of the month. Might go now, never been to Norwich before.

Rather pay a ton than go on one of them supporters buses

13 minute sell out at ours for Leeds this morning. First and probably the only club that'll sell the 3,700 this season.

Isn't that 13 minute sell out to members who only have a small percentage of the available allocation? I'm sure a Leeds fan can put me right, but my understanding is that season ticket holders have majority of the allocation then say 20% or so of the remaining allocation goes to gold members. Anything after that goes to silver. I think the gold members allocation might of sold out in 13 minutes, not the whole 3700. Might be wrong like.

Our allocation was 3500 at your place and was shy of selling out by about 50, but officially it said we had 3150 there.

 

[villa loyal]

nah, seems it did sell out within 15 minutes. That's some going and shows the demand they can call upon.

Stunning away support , selling out home games too, about fucking time it's took about 15 years of being down to do it for a club that size

 

[JJH]

Yeah they sold out to season ticket holders in 13 mins villa loyal. I was surprised you didn't sell out, we'd have flogged 3,500 at Villa Park on a Friday night but you're a bigger draw than us than we are for you, obviously.

I know what you mean, I suppose our bad start and tv didn't help. Not sure how many clubs could shift 3500 in that time, especially for a championship game, but Leeds away support are in a different league to most.

It is about time as the support they have around Yorkshire and nationwide is phenomenal. Expensive tickets mind.

 

[JJH]

Just sorting match tickets for Fulham (31st Oct midweek) and Sunderland (28th Oct) which are our next two aways, three home games in a row from now until then.

Not sure what'd be considered decent followings for them given our current situation. 2,000 at Sunderland and 1,500 at Fulham I suppose would be a good effort.

 

[Another Walkley Owl]

Sold 3,900 out of 4,500 for Bolton for 14th and about 1k left out of 3100 for Derby on 21st.
Derby will definitely sell out, not sure about Bolton may do too.
Think we will be averaging over 3k after these games.
Will drop off though with both Ipswich and Norwich away midweek TV games to come.

 

[Craig]

Tempted to go to Wednesday away. Not been to an away game for a while and the kick off time is ideal for me.

 

[smileyw]

Only the season ticket allocation has sold out, the 600/700 remaining (you were right the 20%) go on sale to gold members on Friday morning, season ticket holders can not apply
