Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[SF_]

I think 'abysmal' is a bit strong in regards to the Reading following.

Cardiff and Reading play each other pretty much every season.

I would have thought away fans might actually be encouraged to turn up by the dire state of this season's Wolves team. Maybe some people are right (can't find the comments, maybe it was in another thread) that the attack on the Watford fan has put people off coming to Molineux. That would be a bigger indictment of the city than any commentary in a Bottom Five listing or Trip Advisor review.

It was Rammy in this thread. I think it's a good point and one I hadn't considered when I raised the question. If you're choosing between going to an away game where you'll worry about your safety and one where you won't, then it's a pretty easy choice.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

I think most of us who travel away regular don't tend to worry about the safety aspect as experience tends to get you around without finding hassle, I wouldn't class Wolves as any more unsettling than Derby.

 

[markwwfc1992]

I would hope the Watford incident was a one off. The ironic thing is that the thugs who attacked the Watford fan didn't even go to the game and aren't Wolves fans.

Sadly the decent Wolves fans who just go to watch a game of football like every other supporter around the country get tarred with the same brush, especially in the 'blame society' we live in nowadays.

I certainly wouldn't think like that - that would be like not boarding a plane in the tiny amount of fear of it crashing or something going wrong.

Absolute one off freak incident, wouldn't ever put me off going back to Molineux, although the results we always get there might.

 

[tiltontrev]

I hate going to Wolves, it's a pretty messy unsavoury event whenever we visit, wholey unpleasant and absolutely nowhere to go nearby.

I always say I won't go again, but I always do end up going. I can see why it would put the scarfs & coach one'ers off though.

Before any of the scrap dealers get on their high horses (or pony & carts in this case) I imagine Brum isn't much better, though our city centre is much more hospitable.

 

[markwwfc1992]

I'm sure you wont be missed if you don't want to return.

 

[QPR_Matt]

I have got my ticket for Reading away. Not been there since their record breaking promotion season, and we played 8 (ish) players that we told do not have a future with us. Hopefully it is a bit more positive this time!

I imagine it would put people off who take their kids but that's probably it

 

[markwwfc1992]

Every town/city has idiots around, starting to get tired that the majority of our fanbase are being labeld for one or two morons that had nothing to do with the game. People are quick to forget that soon after the attack Wolves fans were the ones who set up the donation page for his family and donated 10's of thousands of pounds to pay for his treatment.

Was only a couple of years ago when we won that Football League Family club of the year award thing too. I'm sure it is hard for certain people to realise, but were not all a bunch of knuckle dragging neanderthals who look to fight any person who wears an opposition shirt...

It's a shame that 4 little chavs can ruin the reputation of a decent family club like Wolves.

I've never been keen on going to St Andrews but also to the Hawthorns for the same reason. I think any derby games tend to be unsavoury.

I'm not sure why Birmingham City fans would have an issue with going to their own ground.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Derby following at Forest 1951 per the FL so taking that number.

Prices announced for our Dec home games

36 quid for both Brum and Derby fans, 33 quid for Wulfs

[markwwfc1992]

Middlesbrough to Hull is 224 miles? Always thought it was just down the road for them...

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Return trip mate.

Some wank crowds coming up then?

Derby is on the Sunday on Sky, Wolves on a Sunday and Brum Boxing Day, can see it being pretty poor how's League One?

Have you improved much under Adkins or do you think you will be 'nearly men' again this season?

Just seen that you're 8pts off 2nd, I thought you were well in the mix.

Not whatsoever, in all honesty iv already give up on promotion unless we spend silly money in jan, probably be too late by then though.

 

[roversfan2001]

Now, I know Ashton Gate is being redeveloped, but surely the away section holds more than 845?

Also, £17 for ages 13-19, I'll pass thanks.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Wish I could get an away ticket for 17 quid, consider yourself lucky.

 

[roversfan2001]

Suppose I'm used to cheap tickets, season ticket only £60, once I go to Sheff Wed game it's been worth it.

 

[KevinMcallister]

that Birmingham figure is the best of the weekend followed by Wednesday followed by us

Middlesbrough just can't compete still despite having a good 2 season, put them in our position for 12 years and I guarantee their muggy fans would be a bit quieter at 300 away fans

 

[KevinMcallister]

Yorkshires the biggest county in England, and they are practically not in Yorkshire

still pisses me off

it's like adding Yeovil to the West Midlands

Good luck with that one young fella.

Why does it matter? You're not likely to sell that anyway are you?

We probably won't, was just wondering why it was so low.

Where did you see that?
