[blademan89]

SoutheySWFC blademan89 have you got a figure for Blades at Bristol Rovers FA Cup circa 2013?

No exact figure but it was 700 odd , great day out , lasted about 30 seconds in the ground and went back to the boozer.

 

[The Southbank]

I see Bristol City v Cardiff got a bit tasty on Saturday. Is there anything worse than people who plaster videos of a row on social media? Basically doing the Old Bill's job for them.

Not bad, was having a discussion with a Rovers fan in work earlier and he thought you had less than 100 down for it so I laughed it off, knew it was bollocks. Only came up in discussion because we were speaking about Cheltenham vs Yate in the FA Cup which I went to which fell on the same day.

Yeah was a bit fiery behind the Atyeo after the game, lots of Cardiff "yoof" out for it.

There is always trouble when we play Cardiff home and away.

 

[villa loyal]

@SoutheySWFC,have you got Boro's away numbers at our place? Boro's programme stating 1474.

What a great day out that was, never thought I´d see 1,000 Yaters in the same place other than Tesco.

Cheers.

Does it have their number at Norwich?

Didn’t see anything personally. We walked round the back of the away end after the game to go on North street for a few beers and seen nothing.

Probably some young un’s throwing bottles of coke at eachother.

I'll try and find out.

Close. It was a bottle of lemon Fanta that was being chucked from side to side. This was at the exit of the dolman/atyeo. I didn't stay around though because I didn't fancy getting a bottle or coin chucked on my head.

Remember watching that documentary when it was first aired. Cardiff were probably at their most notorious then with Ninian park being as dodgy as anywhere.

Likewise but that's to be expected given the rivalry.

Was brilliant wasn't it, fully sold out, one turnstile open as they didn't anticipate many to travel, 20 mins in when I eventually got into the ground the queues were still round the block.

 

[The Southbank]

I despise them.

Is that from the MacIntyre documentary?

 

[villa loyal]

Is that from the MacIntyre documentary?

Yes, I think it is.

 

[The Southbank]

Yes, I think it is.

Some well known faces in that, wasn't a laugh at the time mind!

There is also a documentary he did where he went undercover with the Chelsea firm.

 

[tiltontrev]

Fulham in December sold out for us, just shy of 3,000, I’m guessing there will be a further allocation.

Quality again

 

[JJH]

Brilliant following.

We have no excuses for not having 1,000 up at Hillsborough next week. Yes tickets are £33 but we're being charged that as the cheapest ticket for the cup game against Man U and most people seem relatively happy with it.

Sold just shy of 500 atm, I haven't sorted mine yet and it's not on general sale until Friday, so we should piss 1k but it wouldn't surprise me with us if we end up having 689 up there.

No excuses at all, our first Saturday 3pm at home since the second weekend of the season, hopefully a decent home number too.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Sold out next Saturday for Reading. It's been said before but their £20 tickets are very commendable.

The whole end or the initial allocation?
If it's the full 4k that's fantastic support.
Thought only Villa and Leeds of the Northern and Midlands would sell out the whole end down there.

 

[JJH]

It's hard to judge with us, our travels on a Saturday 3pm to Sheffield generally aren't too bad compared with the rest of Yorkshire, our last two Saturday 3pm's were 900 at Bramall Lane in that awful 13/14 season, and 1,350 at Hillsborough at £39 a pop. It's much more appealing than going to for example Hull, who we happen to play at their place the week after you. The tickets are cheaper at Hull but I bet we have more at Hillsborough.

Sky probably regret not putting our game on Sky given they're showing Fulham vs Derby.

 

[QPR_Matt]

You always travel well to London.

It is an easy/cheap journey on the train. Well, it is for the reverse fixture as we can get trains for £20 or so.

The 4k yeah. Well I tell a lie, there are 45 tickets left but they should be snapped up very soon. They go on general sale on Saturday but think they'll be gone before then. To be fair it's an easy trip for most Wolves fans, direct train south. For me from Leamington it only takes an hour.

Top of the league and two hours away, 20 quid tickets, hardly unsurprising.

You turning into Firthy?

It was 1,184 on your last visit to ours on a Saturday, 452 the time before, and 533 the one before that

Not quite given I was only 200 out not 1,000.

I don't have all the figures to hand hence why I roughly rounded off the figure as to what I remember, which is why I didn't even mention the other two as I didn't go to the games so the figure doesn't stick in my mind.

Others that do stick in the mind up at Sheffield was 3,000 at BL in 2007, a small number when we were early KO on Sky and won the game at Hillsborough (sure you'll have the figure) and obviously the 4,600 up there in 03.
