Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[JJH]

True and I get the desire for clubs like yourselves that want to be in it. If we compete I’m all for it, but if we were to go up and just be happy surviving I’d not arsed about going up.

I want to be in it for a year or so just to tick the grounds off really, then would be happy with coming back down.

 

[Derby1971]

You've won the fa cup there though, a playoff final wouldn't be a patch on that day.

DC closet villa fan.

For the 27th only, if it was the other way round, and Leeds got to Wembley I would deffo want the other team to win, unless it was Forest.

 

[villa loyal]

Now sold out.

 

[blademan89]

Now sold out.

It go down to 1 game?

 

[villa loyal]

It go down to 1 game?

No , It was meant to tomorrow at 5.00.

 

[villa loyal]

My bad, still a few hundred left.

 

[Derby1971]

Derby tickets sold out early on today, went in no time at all, all down to1 game now, can not wait, never expected to get to the final at all, so it's like a bonus game, if we win it will end a fantastic first season in charge for Frank Lampard.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Which end have you got fella?

 

[Depthcharge]

Bell.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Bell.

That's the Etihad pal

 

[Derby1971]

Which end have you got fella?

East end of Wembley mate, I think we had this end against QPR last time we was there, hope we have better luck this time, it's going to be close.

 

[villa loyal]

The last few hundred go on sale at 5.00 today to 1+ home game this season.

 

[villa loyal]

I’m preparing my farewell speech for this thread. Hopefully it’s needed.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

I'm with Blademan here, seen us promoted twice at Wembley and once automatically. Being at Molineux to see us get promoted to the Premier League on the last day will take some beating.

Also even though we got pumped to Swansea seeing a "nothing club" like us in a major final was something special. The new Wembley is crap once you've been there once though, shocking atmosphere in both our playoff games, the cup final was fantastic though.

 

[villa loyal]

Wembley sold out within 20 mins of going on sale to 1+ home game this season. See you at Wembley D71

Yes pal, hope it's a good game, think it will be closer than some think, Derby is all behind the team, a lot of dissapointed fans not getting tickets, went on general sale Sunday at 2pm and sold out by 4 pm, loads I know have not got tickets, hope they put more on to sell, even if we do not go up its been a good season for us

They quite simply dont deserve them then, 10k more tickets than your home average, everyone worthy of one gets one at clubs like us and you.

 

[villa loyal]

I thought it went on sale to 1+ home games today but it was 3+ home games. 1+ weren’t until Wednesday 5.00. Much bigger demand than last year where our tickets went to booking history against Fulham .

Spot on. People get all defensive about it in our fanbase, “I can’t afford to go every week” etc, but in the case of Derby now if you’ve not managed to make more than 1 game all season and then an unexpected trip to Wembley comes and you can all of a sudden afford it... full of shit and don’t deserve a ticket.

 

[villa loyal]

Every fanbase the same.

Depends how big the club is though, plenty of season ticket holders, members miss out a lot of the time at the big clubs fo games at wembley. Not at clubs like us and derby

 

[villa loyal]

I suppose at clubs where they average 40-70k a lot of the regulars miss out. Obviously clubs like blades and derby average around 25-26k so you need the fairweather fans to sell the allocation. You’ll always get fans from all clubs give a sob story about Wembley and why they couldn’t make enough games in the season.

 

[Depthcharge]

General Sale. Rent-a-crowd.

Two correct facts. One each.

Are you going to Australia mate for the manc friendly

 

[Depthcharge]

I am indeed.

 

[blademan89]

I am indeed.

Thought you might be, be a fucking class trip that one, are you just doing Perth or travelling about a bit after/before.

 

[blademan89]

Ticket prices are shameful, yet it's almost sold out.

Yes you are right all the fans who go every week like myself have got one, and in this division with 36000 tickets available then all fans of all clubs would get a ticket, I suppose teams who go to the FA cup and European finals, get very poor ticket allocation, only 16000 for Liberpool and Spurs is just wrong.
