quality from Boro yet again

 

[villa loyal]

Good support from boro. We've sold out our allocation for boro, 2500. It's one I shall be attending. It's been a few years since I last went to Middlesbrough. was hoping to get to Brentford on Boxing Day, but had no chance of getting a ticket.

 

[villa loyal]

Leeds have been allocated 5k for Ipswich which they will easily sell out. We have them our last but one away from home, so hopefully we get the same allocation. Let's hope we are still around the play offs.

Our next 2 away games sold out fairly swiftly which is somewhat of a rarity this season

2,251 at Sheffield United on Boxing Day
2,000 at Nottingham Forest on the 30th

Both sold out just before general sale.

You sold 4.5k for a 3rd round league cup game at ours once. I know you've not got it this year but you've always sold both tiers at bramall lane, I doubt you will of done if given this time.

They can only sell what you give em.
They will bring more down here than you would take up there if your roles were reversed.

What are the averages up to now?

Did I say any different. I know it's down this year but they have one of the best away followings in the country that's exactly what I was saying. They'd take a fucking damn site more than you too if the roles were reversed.

Last update was a few week back, I'm not doing it again until after the new years day fixtures.

Or not, they didn't sell what they were given for a lot of fixtures already, including at ours.

I have been trying to get the QPR and Birmingham numbers but cannot find it. God knows how you get yours.

But still a lot more than most clubs (certainly United) if they had just been relegated and were in another relegation battle.
It was also a midweek at ours, would have been more for a Saturday.

Yeah I doubt we would have sold both tiers if given them this season, even with the new manager/actually won a couple of games effect. That said I missed out on tickets for the game on Boxing Day waiting for the loyalty points to go down to 0 for one of my mates but hey ho, a trip to Nottingham instead.

Our away support certainly hasn't been like past seasons, I can think of only 2 games we've sold out and one of those was against Boro, the other being Burton which is a new ground.

Edit: We sold out Brentford too

I was actually praising their support yet you've found a way to have a dig at ours.

It's understandable after you're last few seasons, a winning run and I'm sure you will be selling out everywhere in no time.

Stop being so touchy, I'm not knocking your support, I'm just defending theirs.
As I said not many (possibly 2) would better their support given their current situation.

Even Leeds took followings of 900 to Cardiff 1200 to Leicester 1400 to Brum at their worst. I rate Sunderland away support as one of the best in the country. This season is a bad one off

That Cardiff following was midweek wasn't it though? Either that or the early KO game when Hernandez scored there, only time I can remember a sub 1k.

In the championship? Not sure they would be having the away support you regularly have if they had been down and suffered as much as you have. It's understandable why their numbers are down, plus they have to travel further than most. In the prem they mainly took the smaller allocation, but we did a fair few times too.

Yes but this year they sold out 2600 on tv and could of sold 4k

One of the pioneers of glory hunting are Leeds Utd fans.

 

[Brad-Owl]

Our allocation for trip across town sold out.

Got a ticket SoutheySWFC?

Course he has. And They sold out quicker for forest and Brentford than they did today.
