Are they charging you £25? And you gonna go down for the day in London?

£23. Took more to QPR on a Tuesday night. No I'm not, new Zealand to pay for so days like that are not happening at the minute.

Probably a bit late in the day now to say this but that Sheffield Wednesday following to Reading is fucking insane.

 

[villa loyal]

575 Ipswich

 

[SoutheySWFC]

336 barnsley.


Got a shed load of estimates at the minute with Burton and Villa being the main c***. Dunno why it is such a secret.

Just a shame game was boring as hell.

3k for Derby sold out. Still not sure whether I can make it, so if I can it looks like the home end it is.

 

[Bill Carr]

Ipswich ready to give us 5k in January according to their local press, unless we hit some serious form I can't see us shifting them at all.

If you get that many, depending on price you might shift em all.

Remember years back (1990) we took thousands to Ipswich but the circumstances were very different, it was our 1st match of the season and we expected (no, we knew) we would be promoted that season.
Quite a crush in the old terracing Owls fans ended up in both side stands as well as away terracing due to sheer numbers and overcrowding.
The police expected about 2.5k of us, but I would guess at least 5 or 6k turned up.
Apart from a few worrying moments during the crush it was a great day.

Expect only Leeds, maybe Villa and obviously Norwich could sell 5k if offered it nowadays.
Oh maybe Wolves this season.

You won't need them, you ever talked about the football Bill?

Boro have sold just under 1k for tomorrow. Not sure the attendance will surpass 19k given it's on Sky, ought to though.

Hell of a trek for a Friday

Still a long trip for a TV game.

It is but I would prefer our game up at Boro to be a later kickoff, means you don't have to be up at 3am to make the game.

Lets put this in some kind of perspective shall we. Last week Derby bought a few over 1k for a normal
none Tv Saturday match. We will be taking roughly the same amount twice the distance for a live Tv
game. Not too shabby I believe.

Are you planning on walking there or summat?

That's in reply to JJH

Planning on flying up. 3am was me exaggerating, but if you want to go
about Middlesbrough before (I've been there before I'm not sure why anyone would) you'll need to leave Temple Meads between 6-7am, it's a 25 minute drive from where I live so a 5am alarm to get to Boro for 12ish.

Not too bad I suppose, only an hour later for Sheffield and Hull the last two weeks but as I said I think quite a few people would prefer a late KO.

Not knocking your following anyway Alan, it's not bad. Not sure about Derby's mind.....

Given the size of their home support I'm none to impressed by the away support they generally bring to the riverside, can't comment on what they take anywhere else. then again about 70% of the teams that tip up at the riverside bring less than 1k anyway. I would like to know the average supports of teams if away followings are taken out of the equation. the likes of Fulham and Barnsley very often get away support of 4k plus this must seriously mess up the figures.
Before anyone has a dig I realise most teams away support fluctuates due to a number of factors.

 

[Jamo]

We've sold 1181 for Bolton tomorrow. That's more than I expected given our last few games and the fact it's 32 quid, the robbing Greater Manchester bastards.

You're in luck, SoutheySWFC does a "net home fans" table so keep an eye out for that. You're right about away support at the riverside though, I doubt we'll even bring 1k up if we are still where we are, it's a long old way. 700 tops I'd imagine. It's a shame Newcastle isn't closer as that'd certainly attract more from us.

It would be better you didn't come than spend your money in that cesspit. thanks very much.

Just like our trip to Norwich next week, 1,400ish tickets sold.

I'm giving it a miss with Forest and Brentford tickets going on sale next week.
