Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[JJH]

Do people go to football for facilities?

Yes. You only have to look at what new builds have done for clubs like Reading, Brighton, Hull etc.

 

[villa loyal]

If I'm honest, I wouldn't care if there were 10,000 at our games if we kept winning. I appreciate we're not Leeds etc supporter number wise but we're getting

Its got to go on sale to members yet before it makes general sale it will comfortably sell out.

Bristol now off sale online with only single seats left over the phone, think we'll fall a few short of selling out but 3500 is a good following for an evening game on TV this time of year.

we have "claret members" before it hits general sale, but I don't think they take up much of the ticket allocation. It's nothing like what leeds have, with their 40k away members.

That's true.

 

[City169]

He's going back more than 2 years ffs try looking at the last 20.

You realise that numbers fluctuate? Our core has grown.

You don't understand the term core do you, and do the 15k and 19k include away fans which means they ARENT Bristol City fans.

And I didn't say our core was 15k or 19k ffs.
Of course the average includes away fans, but even taking them into account the number is well above 12k.
There certainly wasn't 7k away fans on average last season.

If there is any sort of demand ours get no where near general sale. Last season mk dons 7.5k, oldham 4.5k, vale 4.5k, Rochdale 3.5k, bury 3.2k, all big allocations and got absolutely no where near general sale, if we were in wolves position this year it would be the same. We sold out 14 of the 17 3pm games last season with the exceptions being Peterborough (4k there), millwall (shite following)and southend (last minute rearrangement). The demand last year was far far superior to this for us.

Outstanding.

Indeed, great numbers from both Wolves and Derby, fair play!

I seem to recall your away support being top class last season. Much bigger clubs than you would struggle to get those figures without general sale, and I include us in that.

We had 7k members last year would imagine there would be a few more this season. There will be a fairly big take up from members for the Barnsley game.

We played bury on the same day as derby this year bury sold out with ease before Xmas and derby has only just sold out today. Very strange considering we are doing very very well

Didn't realise that. Should sell out then.

 

[JJH]

No rush for Man C tickets lads, on sale today to STHplus members who have been to one away game or more and we've barely sold 2k.

Prob won't sell out home or away. If it was man u away you'd sell 10k easy

Home will definitely sell out mate, would be amazed if it went to general sale.

Don't know whether it's shite if we don't sell out or not, I said if we were allocated 9k we wouldn't but expected us to sell this at £17.50 a pop. We'll see.

But that isn't the core, if you do poorly and plod down a league you'd be back to 15k tops including away, core is those week in week out and I'd say 12k is nearer the truth.

For a city of the size of Bristol the support is poor.

We are holding fire as Man C are selling the top tier first. I was up there for a BvB game a while back and it's too bloody high. We're waiting for tier 2 to go on sale.One bloke has now got 33 of us on his 'family and friends' list!

 

[JJH]

You're right, our core support is about 12-13k tops historically and both us and Rovers have massively underachieved on the pitch for the city, it deserves better.

 

[QPR_Matt]

QPR have sold about 1,500 tickets out of 2,000 for Millwall tonight. Shit support. Looking forward to the game itself though; Millwall have filled their end bar about 50 seats.

 

[TomPNE94]

No idea what we've sold for tonight but would be shocked if it's more than 300. Fair play to anyone who's making the trip.

 

[Gerry Gow]

Maybe I'm being too harsh on this one, ignore me.

That is poor when you consider Wolves and Sheffield United took more there in the last few weeks.

Holloway is going to get all manner of stick by all accounts. I heard he has asked for seats near the dugout to left empty but Milwall told him to do one.
Couldn't happen to a more deserving bloke!

 

[smileyw]

Leeds members sold out the Ipswich allocation in 2 mins this morning, i got on at 10.32 and missed out, hoping we now get an increased allocation to 5000.

 

[JJH]

Have any club sold out at Millwall yet?

Fuck sake course you have, was just looking through their fixtures I forgot you'd played.

Another great effort from Leeds, but hardly surprising. Can see you selling out every game this season. Your home support has impressed me this season, for the simple fact that you've not had crowds like this on a regular basis since you were in the prem.

 

[villa loyal]

Brum

They sold out, yes. Not sure they had the whole of the upper tier though.

They did was on tv too.

 

[villa loyal]

The upper tier holds 2k. Blues never had that many there. I think it was around 1800. I think they left a block empty, or part of a block. Either way, they would of sold the full 2k, if allowed.
