Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[blademan89]

I’m shocked to be honest, given your position I’d have thought you’d bring more.

It's the worst possible away trip for travel other than Swansea on the lowest away supported fixture of the season. I can only recall us once taking more than 1200 to Ipswich anyway and I think it was our promotion season to the prem.

I personally wouldn’t call it good that’s all! We took 1493 to Forest and 1011 to Stoke in December and we’re rock bottom.

I’m not too sure why people say it’s diffucult to get to Ipswich though, straight down the a1 and a14 for you and the clubs around your area. Boring journey I’ll give you that, but it’s not difficult!

London clubs are difficult to get to, can take hour and half to 2 hours for even us!

4 hours on the train to Ipswich, 2 hours to london, your used to long trips, Ipswich is our 2nd longest trip of the season. It's good for us , maybe not so for other clubs.

 

[Kilburn Ram]

£37 for our game at Leeds on Friday 11th Jan, on Sky.

Absolutely ridiculous pricing.

 

[Reaper]

West Brom sold out our away end for Saturday. Not surprised though being a new ground for them and flying high in the table.

You're lucky it's a cheap fixture and not Cat A

 

[LancashireTrotters]

Around 1,000 will be at Brentford on Sat. This run has to end sometime (I doubt it will be this weekend).

Great following.

 

[Derby1971]

Derby have sold around 1400, for Norwich away on the 29th, 233 left.

 

[QPR_Matt]

As everyone else is doing it .... Around 1k sold for Forest away on Sat with pay on the day available.

Will they finally see us break the worst away record in the history of football, where we haven't won their before in 34 attempts?

 

[Jamo]

Jesus, that's even worse than our record at yours. 3 draws and 20 defeats or something similar at Loftus road since 1950

5200 for West Ham sold out before it even got to season tickets, never managed to get one

If you can't get a ticket out of 5200 I'd guess you don't hardly go at all?

 

[Derby1971]

Just heard Bristol City have sold 700, for Derby on Saturday, I could be wrong, thought they sold 600, a few weeks back, but even at this time of year that is wank, if I am wrong then I apologise to all the Bristol City fans.

Yeah it is wank, should shift a few more POTD though. Reckon we’ll have 900 there, which isn’t great.

 

[Reaper]

We sold out 6k for Man City and I'm not sure if they'll give us more I hope so.

Heard a figure of 1200 sold for Bolton boxing day but can't see that being a big following with Man City coming up.

I rarely miss a game, I don’t have a season ticket as I work shifts, non-season ticket holders can’t be away travel club members. I’m a loyalty card holder but we’re behind STH.

I’ll be at Wigan Saturday, plus both the home games over Christmas, then up at Hillsbrough on New Year’s Day.

Does it not work out cheaper for you just to get a season ticket and miss the games you can’t get to, if you’re getting to most games anyway? May work out slightly more expensive per game but balanced out by getting priority for these types of games.

 

[tiltontrev]

Yeah it’s something I’ve toyed with, the fact being we probably only sell out 3-4 games a season and they’re forever putting deals on for the walk-up supporter puts me off. The happy medium is being a loyalty member, same benefits as a season ticket holder, 10% off all home tickets, priority ahead of general sale for away games. The big draw back is no recognition of away travel, me and my lad will do 70-80% of away games but have the same status as someone who’s done none. It’s an issue I’ve bought up with the ticket office manager on more than one occasion but to no avail.

Seems to be about right, 850 sold according to the website but it’s usually a bit inaccurate. Wank effort anyhow.

I do this, If there are any games I can't attend for whatever reason I can easily sell my season ticket to someone on the Wolves buy/sell tickets facebook page. Not sure if it works for clubs who don't sell out though since you'd just buy a ticket from the club. Works out pretty well considering most of our games get moved to Friday/Sunday/Monday which is usually when I work.

 

[tiltontrev]

Friday Sunday Monday are the boom days in the scrap metal tatting industry? Who’d have thought it...

Yet your own ground is one-third empty week in, week out. One of the great mysteries that.

 

[TomPNE94]

We’ve sold 46 for Wednesday this weekend

Wasn’t far out, pre-sold 537.

Not really that mysterious, it’s 5,000 for an away game, at a ground we’ve never played at, bound to attract a lot more interest.

Similar to what happened with Wolves when they came into money and found themselves at the top of the league.

 

[blademan89]

Wasn’t far out, pre-sold 537.

That's dreadful for you.

 

[PrestonCha]

That's dreadful for you.

It's shite, but I think it's not far off what we usually take there? (We never travel well to Wednesday, for whatever reason)

Chuck in the Christmas factor and pretty dear tickets, and it's about what I expected.

If I had to guess, without knowing the pre-sold figure, I would have said 6-700.

Seems to have gone a bit shitter our away support this season.

You always bring around 1k to sheffield, yours at ours this year was the lowest I can recall for you but you were bottom or nearly bottom at the time.

Yeah it felt empty the away end at yours this year, wish I hadn’t bothered too tbh.
