From your lot? I'm amazed you haven't sold out tbh (maybe it has now, but not as of the other day).

Not a new ground for us, on tv and no trains, there is a handful left that won't go. Very good effort imo I'll slag our followings off when they are shit but I don't think this one is

I think given your table position and small allocation it's pretty poor. When was your last trip to VP?

Absolutely no clue how our ticket sales are going for Barnsley on Boxing Day. Would be disappointed with less than 2k though.

3 years ago, 6k there in the cup. 2.5k ain't poor. Look at wolves following last week to Sheffield, same distance , tv and they are top, you've only just sold 1700 at qpr not on tv.

We sold QPR out a week before the game but other than that.... we sold Villa out for new years nearly 3 weeks before the game. Wolves was friday night. Top six clash at a ground you haven't played at for 3 years and it's only a couple of hours away, surprised you haven't sold it out.

It's your* not you're but you were the one that brought us into it. Didn't have you down as one to get offended by an opinion on an away following, grow up.

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.

Because of the threat of trouble, not everyone is as brave as you sunshine.

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.
Let's be right your lot turn out when you're doing well but if it's a poor season then your numbers seem to drop to a level below a club of your size IMHO.

You fall into the same bracket as Derby and Forest.

A fair analysis. Our fanbase is known to be very fickle, and have a lot of fans who will only show up for the good times. We have a core support of around 16/18k who will go regardless of if we're any good, but can fluctuate to an extra 10k if we're having a season like we're currently having.

Still it will be nice to see all the part timers get piss wet through in the temporary corner stand next season.

7600 allocated for Man City away. Oddly we've announced our prices for the 2nd leg before Man City have for the 1st..

Yep i guess you will I doubt it will sell out anywhere near as quick as the man utd match it's amazing how so many want a ticket when man utd and Liverpool are in town.

Looked like just over 3k happy Boro at Hillsborough.
Great numbers and great noise, best at Hillsborough so far this season.

He probably left after 12 mins when you were already 0-2 up but half your fans were still in town.

We went from being absolutely wild up until they scored there 1st then we all just stood in silence waiting for the equaliser which came but then the rest is history that will never be forgotten.
