Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[villa loyal]

Agree Newcastle are a weird anomaly. Sunderland once got a 38k average at this level though

I don't think it's as simple as the higher up the table you are the more fans you get in through the door. Our average had dropped to 22k in our second season down, but we made the playoff final. The season before we were just shy of 30k despite basically being mid table. Villa's crowds have held up well compared with us when we went down, but weirdly we had more fans than you last year despite being 13th. Man City got more in League One than they got in the Prem a few years earlier

There's an interest in Leeds United that there hasn't been for 15 years and you can see that in the home crowds, and away games are a complete closed-shop. But again, I think it's a shame that tonight's crowd won't be as big as it could have been. 32k Leeds fans and 2.5k Boro fans attending is alright, but given a bigger stadium and cheaper tickets that number could be a lot higher I reckon. The rate of ticket sales at Leeds falls off a cliff once the normal priced tickets have sold (not many even get to GS) and, after Ipswich, Norwich and Cardiff, we are usually one of the least attractive away grounds (in terms of numbers of away fans attracted)

Anyway 3-2 to Leeds tonight!

Also, is there anywhere where people keep track of away followings in the Prem?

Without being petty, we averaged more than you last season at home. Only just mind.

Seems like a few people bought tickets for the priority points again...

If people are doing that for a few games just to get a ticket for bramall lane they'd be better off just paying a ton for a ticket at the lane , they'll end up worse off.

Looks that way, sad gits, I know Reading is a bit of a pain to get too but buying tickets just for priority points is pathetic.
I'll be missing Forest game due to working but I've no plans to buy a ticket just for points,

 

[Kilburn Ram]

1,736 sold in advance for Hull yesterday. Probably a few pay on the day too.

Right pain of a journey, talk about planes trains and automobiles....worth it in the end mind.

I agree, that's a cracking effort on a Sunday given the distance.
Fair play Blackburn fans.

Looks that way so far, only found out our game was on the red button earlier though.
