Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[SoutheySWFC]

We only averaged around 24,000 in our premier league relegation season and its not dropped much below this even in our league one season's finishing in bottom half.
Think lowest is 18-19,000 when we finished 17th.

Just under 18k in League One

 

[blademan89]

I think in indentical circumstances we would get around 1500. Buy one get one free is a big incentive. Also didn't Brum take 3/4k there on a weeknight when it was £10 or something?

A one off like their Wigan following this season , how many they take to bolton this year?

That's the same with a lot of away support in this division, the only 3 who always take good numbers away are Leeds, Villa and Wednesday. Derby, Sheffield United, Brum, Forest, Norwich and Boro, all blow hot and cold when it comes to away support.

A few clubs becoming more consistent tbf.

Surprised we've sold 1500 for Ipswich given theres fuck all on it and 30/35 notes each

Leeds away support is phenomininal. Villa only been here 2 years , Wednesday's for some reason has gone to another level, they've always been way better than the rest of us though.

It is phenomenal but I'd rather be us/you with a rivalry and city split than them, same as the Jawdees.

Think Villas will stand up for another season but will drop if they don't go up, we've been out of the top flight for 19 years ffs but on my records we've averaged between 1900 and 2,600 every year, two promotions, two play off campaigns, two relegations to the 3rd tier and abject wank in between....

Our away support can be class, but also average which it was the last few seasons in prem. overall I’d say we have good away support, but not in the same league as Your Leeds or Evertons who are far more consistent. I won’t include Liverpool or United either as it pointless to compare. Our support home and away has stood up very well since being relegated. It’s our third season down here, next season will be our fourth as we won’t go up. It could very well drop as Southey said, but it all depends how well we are doing. It won’t drop much mind.

Class following , and as blademan pointed out, the last few seasons your away support has gone to another level.

 

[villa loyal]

Midweek game at Brentford sold out. Just about made it to season ticket holders with 3+ aways.

Get in, we’ve never had this discussion on here before...

Har har . Every fucker repeats themselves on here, we are mentally ill.

 

[villa loyal]

Not sure how many Ipswich fans will be at villa tomoz, but I expect it will be an healthy number.

1,800 sold for Stoke as of yesterday afternoon, anything over 2k isn't too bad for a write off season.

I would say where you are in the league, that's a very good away following, think you will get a result as well.

Thought your lowest was 1700 in league one. We're generally between 1600 and 2000 mostly.

I hope you're right. Not decided whether to go or not yet.

I'd say we fall into the blow hot and cold section.

You can only blame your club for that. Town take a pledge to each club to say, if you don't charge our fans more the £25, we won't charge more than that either.

 

[blademan89]

1920 sold for tommorrow 80 tickets available on the door. Big big game which more than likely will end in defeat.

 

[Whitenotred]

There used to be occasional spreadsheet summaries posted on here - anyone got one ?
Thanks !

 

[Depthcharge]

Jose & BM89 - trip to your fair city tomorrow and then tram to Rotherham due to train issues! Fat Cat or Bath for a proper pint!

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Those two pubs are a fair bit apart.... I'd go to Kelham Island for a few then tram from Shalesmoor

I don't think our away support has gone to another level, its been decent for as long as I can remember, anything between 2k and 2.5k is about par for the course over a season for us, if we started averaging between 2.8k and 3k then yes it would have gone up a level, but despite your continued insistence to the contrary it's no more than normal for us.
I agree Leeds numbers are phenomenal, but many of them are arseholes.

2,036 PNE at Stoke, no sales on the day.

Good following that, now go and beat the 6 toe and fingers stokies.

Some great away followings in the FA cup today, Derby was a good following, and a great atmosphere in and out the stadium, big thank you to Accrington Stanley for a great welcome, a lot of rams fans in the home end today having a great time, and only 2 pound a pint before the game, in the fan zone, and also having the standing areas made it feel like a great day out. If you don't bounce, and Wednesday know the rest lol.

 

[Derby1971]

I hope you're right. Not decided whether to go or not yet.

Hope you managed to go, and yes I was pleased to be right, your in good form at the mo, will be a tough game for us at deepdale on Friday night, think you have done better away from home just recently though, anyway sold just over. 1000 at the moment, so expect about 1200, I will not be going, hate Friday night football away, a nightmare to get to on the roads, and no trains back. So I wil be watching on Sky.

Friday night footy is great when you're at home.
