Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

How many STs did you sell?

 

[blademan89]

It's the same in the league and we still get 5,000 walkups every game.

Yes but season ticket holders and members should be looked after. We charged £15 against spurs in the semi final for season ticket holders. Even Wednesday charge sensible for cup games and playoff games for their st holders/members.

13,000 ish.

Not really arsed tbh, think it's pretty reasonable given the tie, very few of our fans are moaning. What did Wednesday charge ST holders when they battered Arsenal in Carlos' first year?

£20 I think

Not too bad.

They are like you as well not had a big cup game in a long time. Every chance you might beat man u anyway they won't play a team with it being near the Xmas period.

Man Utd had to agree with whatever price we charged. Rumour was they wanted to charge more than what we finally settled on

I doubt they really give a fuck tbh. They'll earn 45% of the gate anyway which will be about 400k , zlatans wage for the week

It's sound Walkley, still going to get in for cheap.

Think he's just pissed that it's £10 less that Sheff Wed can spend in the January transfer window.

Reading under 18's tickets are £10 and Under 15's are a fiver. If I had a shave I reckon I could pull it off.

Not remotely, we will just charge you lot more.

I could probably pull off an u12 ticket, I still look like a baby

 

[markwwfc1992]

£41 the most expensive ticket, £33 the cheapest. I've been offered £75 for my ticket (which is like £15) from one of my pals who is a "United fan". We could sell it out three times over, we haven't had a big draw in my lifetime.

I had that when in the PL. A group of Chinese tourists wanted to buy my, my brothers and dads ST for the day against Man Utd and offered us £100 each. Turned them down and it was the game we beat them 2-1 (Elokobi and Doyle). I would have been sick if I missed that.

I'd of took it instantly

The way we were playing that season it was likely we were never going to be in the same league as them again so we made the most of it. To come from behind and beat them made it that bit sweeter. It was their first defeat of the season, in February.

I must admit when we beat arsenal , Saturday teatime at Xmas in the prem it was one of my most enjoyable games ever. Possibly the best atmosphere I've seen at the lane for a league game.

I'm glad I saw us when we were decent, beating those clubs in the league regularly was standard at home.

Yep you had a good 3 years , doubt it will ever happen again. Ive still seen us beat most of the big teams and we've always been shit. Seen us beat Liverpool,arsenal,spurs,city, oh yes and of course the biggest of them all sheffield Wednesday

Seen us win at Anfield under fucking Pleat mate, some of the better wins were after we turned a bit turd.

 

[Kilburn Ram]

Looks like we've sold around 2,600 of our allocation for Fulham next Saturday.

Not too shabby for a 5.30 kick off, on Sky, and £30 a ticket.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Why is your support so odd at times, great number for Fulham but wank midweek at Bolton, never know a club fluctuate as much as you lot. Home support is dropping now too.....

Bolton? That was our first Saturday away game this season. Best part of 1,700 iirc.

We're a funny lot. On our day, we can turn out in massive numbers. Better than nearly all in this division.
But when it comes to doing fair numbers on a consistent basis we do fall down a bit.

I guess 10 years or so of being in the same division, and either being mid table mediocrity or imploding and performing incredibly badly when it really matters takes its toll.

Or when your doing well your numbers are good, but in difficult times your support is shit, fickle like most football fans.
Even on your good days, I don't believe your support is any better than "nearly all in the division"

 

[Muzzle]

2600 for Preston on Friday so the other 400 will go before then

I have always been impressed with their home numbers. As he said, they have been in this league a bloody long time but numbers are pretty consistent and high.

I have always thought that their away support is pretty poor, considering how many they have at a home game.

1,700 is poor for the first away game no?

 

[villa loyal]

Derby have always had hit and miss away support. I stand to be corrected, but isn't the reason why their home crowds are so good because of free tickets and very cheap deals? Maybe I'm wrong though. Always thought forest travelled better. all 3 East Midlands clubs, Derby, Leicester, Forest seem to be very similar in terms of support.

Always rated Forest as the best of the three.

 

[villa loyal]

Derby were well supported in the 70s, but they were champions twice and had a very good team. After that, their support was nowt to shout about until they moved into their new ground. Like Sunderland for example, their home crowds increased dramatically.

Same here.

Agree with you, they have had very good home support since moving to Pride Park (as Villa Loyal said I read somewhere cheap/free tickets but don't know how true that is) but I don't really rate their away support, another who thinks traditionally Forest have the best away support of the East Midlands clubs (though understandly lower last few seasons).
