Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[villa loyal]

Wolves have sold out for Ipswich, sold 2,381 for ours on the 30th so maybe won't sell it out and only sold 1,600 for Millwall on boxing day so far.

Yet again, those numbers are not great from wolves considering the circumstances.

 

[JJH]

If they are struggling for a ticket with 5.5k available they don't fucking deserve one.

Depends though doesn't it. We have nearly 16,000 STHs you'd think it won't go past that priority. I know a few who don't have STs for various reasons.

 

[markwwfc1992]

What's our allocation gonna be at Man City then? I don't think we'd sell 9,000.

When we sold the 5.5k they gave us an extra 600 tickets which they will probably give you also.

Millwall figure is only bad because of the train situation, driving is shit to London games. Ipswich is a sell out and there is still time to improve the Bristol City number (also another sky game). I'm not fazed by those numbers tbh.

Don't know what loyalty system you have in place but at most clubs the people who go often are guaranteed a ticket everywhere. Considering it's 4x you're average away following everyone who deserves one will get one.

Our priority system is STHs then ForeverBristol members so you could've gone to every away game which some people I go with have done, but not have a season ticket and still miss out.

Shite system then. If they go to every away game I'm sure they will still manage to get hold of a ticket, I don't know one person who missed out at northampton or hillsborough who wanted to be there.

Hopefully. Gonna be a good night but no trains back which is shit, makes it so much more expensive.

More expensive? Sort a minibus out by far the best option if no trains available.

 

[TomPNE94]

Nah stay over go out in Manchester

Yeah because staying over in Manchester for the night.

The Bristol games 9 days away yet. Both will be close to sell outs, both could yet sell out.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Worth mentioning that the Millwall game is a 1pm kick off too. Surprised our support gets a lot of flack, considering we have the 5th best away, and 4th best home support in the league, including a number of sell outs.

And so you should considering you are the 4/5th biggest club in the division and top of the league.

Agreed, but theres a few people stating our numbers are poor, which I don't really understand. Bar the odd game it's probably on par with what I expected or what we have taken in previous seasons. It's our home support that has seen the real spike of average attendance this season. Most weeks we seem to be selling well over 27k whilst last season we would do well to have over 20k.

 

[villa loyal]

I'm surprised you're not selling out at home tbf. You only need to shift 28k tickets for a sell out, but you hardly sell out at home. Numbers away should be better. As blademan said you're having a great season and you're one of the big clubs in the league.

 

[villa loyal]

Our home crowds should be better too.

Our home gates are nearly as good as the great Aston Villa. Bear in mind half season tickets have now sold out it wouldn't surprise me of we overtook you come the end of the season. Imagine that.

I don't think we are anything special and you have no chance of averaging more than us. Our home crowds should be better as I said. 35k expected for the sheff Utd game.

 

[villa loyal]

Forest only charging us £20.

 

[markwwfc1992]

SoutheySWFC do you have stats for the % of home fans against the stadium capacity?

No he doesn't because Wednesday would be bottom

Biggest crowd of the season?

 

[Brad-Owl]

Wasn't just Sky or prices, some actively bottled it.

Why? Elland Road is one of grounds I've visited most going back to early 80s and I can't recall any trouble of serious note. Gone by train most times as well.

 

[villa loyal]

Biggest crowd of the season?

Yes

Cheers but I was looking for the specific stat about % of home fans against the stadium capacity, which I don't think is on there.

I could probably work it out myself thanks to those stats given though.

 

[blademan89]

Yes

Top effort from both parties imo.

It's the time of year I think. Crowds usually go up over the xmas period. Last season we had a 41k sell out v Burton and 37k against Leeds over the xmas period. Tbf I'm surprised we are not hitting 35k most home games at the minute.

Yep they are always are bigger on boxing day and the one after but not normally before, usually lower before.
