Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

More than Bolton would have taken. And probably Blackburn.

Bolton took 1008 just after xmas and had been bottom of the league most of the season so if bolton were 7th I'm pretty sure they would have taken more.

 

[Bully306]

1st game wasn't it

Certainly was.

Just seen that Fulham have given us another 500 tickets to take our allocation to 4500.

May as well give you the whole end, fucking stupid that neutral section.

Makes no sense really considering it will be all Wolves in there anyway. I got tickets in there ages ago so I had a guranteed ticket and could book the train when it was still cheap.

You've got Leeds midweek coming up. It will be interesting to see how many go up to that one.

£37 a ticket and on sky as well, hard sell. Similar to our following at Wednesday I would guess, maybe less.

Made his debut at home to Bolton in 13/14 iirc.

Did he? I can't remember game never mind who played.

It's funny how I can never remember games from just a few years ago but ask me about playing Swindon away in 1980 and I can remember starting line up, what time we set off and how good pies were.

Yeah he looked out of his depth, lost 3-1.

never in a million years will you take the same as us away, never mind more if we were pushing for promotion. We've been in the bottom 6 all season, and there is nothing between us in regards to away followings this season

He's a Bury fan.

Ahh, makes perfect sense now it was a bucket shaker. Apologies to Preston fans for lumping one of them as your own

Joe Mattock scored goal of the season in that game.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Derby have sold around 1,600 for tonight, should hit 2k.

Can see our average improving a fair bit from here on in, we've got the likes of Bristol City, Cardiff, Norwich & Ipswich out of the way.

We've now got yourselves, both Sheffield trips, Villa, Sunderland, another London trip and everyone's favourite ground, Reading....

 

[blademan89]

2650 sold for Leicester on Friday night, poor effort not selling out.

 

[Kilburn Ram]

1,755 sold in advance.
There did seem to be a few paying on the gate too as we went in. Maybe 1,800 in total?

Took me two hours to get home from parking at Wadsley Bridge. M1 roadworks, A38 shut, M1 shut at J25. Nightmare.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Poor all around, 22.5k home fans or so, sub 2k away for a team pushing second.

Should have gone through Castleton.

Thats not a bad turn out for you, considering you're shite. Derby are not the best travellers, especially midweek.

 

[Brad-Owl]

Thought the Derby following last night was poor considering how well they've been doing, its not far to travel, they were at home last weekend, no game this coming weekend and next game is at home.

Team looked pretty poor too.

It's not the best at all, rearranged games don't help but derby to sheffield is as easy as it gets really, especially with trains still available for night games too. We've got reading a week on Tuesday providing we don't draw with Leicester on Friday, that's a bit of shit rearrangement for people wanting to make plans.

 

[Kilburn Ram]

At the risk of sounding precious, I think 1,800 isn’t bad for a Tuesday night, rearranged at short notice, and £33 a ticket. It would have been significantly more if on Saturday.

Took me two hours to get home by car and yes there are trains (one only at 23:15 and that’s a slow one) but Hillsborough isn’t exactly close to the train station is it?

And, yes we’re third but we are not in great form to be honest, as proved last night losing to Wednesday’s ressies.

Significantly more for a Saturday, like the 1,622 you brought last season? On a Saturday

 

[Luke_1884]

Don't know what's up with our lot when it comes to Hillsborough, tailed off in recent years. Was one of our biggest followings of the year when I started going away back in 05. Just seems to be the average nowadays.

 

[villa loyal]

Price?

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Price?

Even when it was cheap I don't recall them needing the lower tier barring the cup quarter final in 1993.

Only takes about 10 minutes in a taxi at that time of night to the station different story in the day like. Wherever the train is possible I'd always get it, the train you mention only takes 44 min , wouldn't be considering any other way for the exact reason you mention in how long it took you to get home.

 

[Brad-Owl]

Just shy of 1,200 sold for next Tuesday's trip to Millwall.

I was there. End of season, pointless match iirc. For us anyway.

Aye was our penultimate home game but still a wank turnout for a local game.
