Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[blademan89]

1000 sold for swansea on Saturday, should be about 1400 in the end, guess it would have sold out if not on tv, be poor if we don't sell out at Norwich even at £35 considering the magnitude of the game.

From where? Last train from London is 22.20, pushing it wherever the match in London is. Last direct train from Brum is 9pm, any match round Manchester, only realistic train is at 23.50 and takes 1 hour 30min. Sheffield is very very poorly served by trains.

fair enough I thought there was a train back from Brum to Sheffield, did there used to be?

Swansea sold out the 2,600 for the game at ours on the 2nd, we've sold about 1,300 for Forest Saturday and are hoping for POTD.

West Brom offering BOGOF to their away following to boost away numbers.

For all games? Awful away support to have to do that. Stoke have free travel to all away games I think.

 

[Depthcharge]

Definitely for their up and coming game think at Bolton...wouldn't imagine it's for every game. Can you imagine if they were struggling after a few years in this league. Not a traditional 'away' club clearly.

 

[villa loyal]

Nah, they rarely travel well. Way behind us, Blues and Wolves.

It’s not them that’s offering it. Its our club that’s offered a free ticket to every season ticket holder for our game and have then extended the offer to West Brom season ticket holders. Otherwise tickets are £28-£32 for adults.

Circa 1k Derby at S’oton tonight, quality effort imo.

Yeah decent. Wednesday had 1450 ish at Luton last night. The Geordies had 2100 ish at Blackburn.

Decent trip for Wednesday in the next round ruined by a broadcasting company.

 

[Derby1971]

It’s the same for us heading to Norwich as well, absolute ballache and I’d never consider going any way but on the train.

Anyway, we’ve sold more than we took to Derby for Forest already for Saturday. Not surprising given the recent run.

Hope you all have a great day out, and you beat the Gumps.

Nice one, looking at about 1,550 heading up I expect by close of play Friday.

Decent result for your lot tonight, might need to rotate some for Saturday though as a few looked out on their feet near the end.

Dreadful kick off time, getting worse and worse year on year this tv bollox, they'll still take 6k though.

The cup needs a complete shake up in terms of what the incentive is to win it (CL spot) and the fixture times regarding tele. Our game was moved the other day for international broadcasting... what neutral in their right mind would sit down abroad and watch Bristol City vs Huddersfield? I’d have gone down if it was a 3pm, left it with it being a 5:30.

Poor kick off time, but at least you get a day boozing in London. Last train back will be about 9.30 so shouldn't be a problem getting that unless game heads into extra time.

It cannot go to extra time.

And having one train back hardly helps with the numbers involved does it.

Been offered train tickets for £15 so may go.

Did you go Luton the other night? Want them, Pompey and Sunderland up for three good aways.

Fuck you very much then.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Going to have to sick the Monday as I've got no holiday days left, fucking broadcasting companies. Love how they consider the fans who actually go.

Get the 20.40 then. Or the 20.35 with a change in Derby.

I get it's shit, but it's possible. There's no trains at all in and out of Accrington for us next week.

 

[JJH]

Good shout actually, we need a few more London aways after losing Fulham. Hopefully they'll be back down next season.

You think I can get from Stamford Bridge to London St Pancras in half an hour? the first two are nigh on impossible to make unless I fucking fly

None of those are good aways

 

[tiltontrev]

Will be our worst number of the season at Norwich, definitely sub 1000. Balls to that journey on a Friday night unless you’re staying over.

 

[SMH]

Would be chuffed if the current Prem bottom three stays as it is. Fulham and Newcastle two of the best aways in the country. Burnley may be local but it’s a crap away.

 

[SF_]

Dingles looked like they've turned it round unfortunately.

Sunderland is, one of the best weekends I’ve ever had up there last season from Thurs-Sun. Pompey/Luton would be good as I’ve not done either, imagine Pompey would be quite lively for us as well.

Take it you stayed in Newcastle, Luton is the biggest toilet in this country, although it's actually not like being in this country at all. Pompey is decent, absolute bellend doormen when we stayed though, asking for id off everyone to see where your from then not letting us in.

Portsmouth is blinding. Probably helped that we’re only 2 hours away.

I'd rather you go up, best away trip there is Charlton. I absolutely love that away end when we fill it and the ground itself. And obviously a day in London is always superb.
