Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[Bobbin']

We had the same last year mate. Taxi from Preston isn’t too much, can just drink around there.

Saw Lockyer scored his first Charlton goal tonight. Fancy him to have a good season.

Yeah will have a closer look at different options.

Hope so mate, pretty pleased with the signing to be honest.

I've applied for Dublin and Rome

Same for me, alongside one of the Wembley games. 19.3 million ticket requests according to UEFA so I don’t rate our chances.

I’m in the middle of a two year break from England trips so I won’t be able to apply through the ESTC as I’ve not done two away trips within the current membership campaign. Probably gonna lose a few caps too.
I’ll renew again next summer for the 2020-2022 membership, start doing some games again. Hopefully we’ll get a few decent trips in the World Cup qualifiers.

19m is about what expected, was 11m in France but that's only 1 country obviously and this is like 10 so was always gonna be around that. Cant see it being an issue getting Wembley ones

Tickets for our first game at Blackburn went on sale today so I had a look at trains and of course, there is engineering works that weekend.

Looks like I’ll have to do a tour of every shithole town in the North West.

Football is back baby.

It's the West coast mainline which is fucked, we're having to go from Piccadilly to Euston so it's an extra 40 odd minutes. you should be able to get to Manchester and then to Blackburn easily enough.

Yeah, the 8.40 goes straight to Preston so not actually too bad although doesn’t land until midday. Otherwise it’s Piccadilly to Salford Crescent to Blackburn.

I'll wave at you on the way past

I'll wave on the way back.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Reading sold out.


Will be keeping the averages this year, though DJS from Luton is likely too as well.

 

[JJH]

Still nothing in the way of ticket details for our game at Birmingham on the 10th.

I'm sure the WMP are doing everything they can to move it with Millwall playing at West Brom the same day.

Completely left in the dark as always, club officials have been ignoring all questions from fans regarding the matter for the last week or so.

 

[Bobbin']

Looks like we’ve sold around 700 so far for Blackburn.

Was hoping we would have shifted a few more than that given we travelled well towards the end of last season but should hopefully be over 1,000 by the day of the game.

Where’s the other 37,000 that were at Wembley gone etc etc.

 

[JJH]

blademan89 random question but do you rate Cardiff’s away support? A few taffs have been bobbing off on Twitter tonight about how well they travel etc and a few City fans have jumped on it.

Used to mid 2000s , not anymore though.

 

[Kenneth E End]

On the subject of Cardiff - what's the craic there right now? Our sales have been halted - we have an initial allocation of 2700 I believe.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Usually a lower allocation than that, 2.3k last time they were down

The standard allocation there is about 2500 in the championship. They did allocate us 3300 on NYD the other season and 4800 on the opening day of the season before last.

They allocated us just shy of 1,400 last time...

Bunch of thugs that’s why .

[JJH]

1,100 sold out for Forest Green tonight.

Second time lucky, posted it in the wrong thread this morning. Since had our allocation upped to 1,400, may a season well just open the ground up rather than pissing about with this.

 

[Kenneth E End]

Apparently Middlesbrough sold out the Oak Road end almost immediately - within 10 minutes in fact.

It’s great to be back!

 

[JJH]

Are there any clubs that won’t sell it? Off the top of my head only Swansea I can think of really, perhaps Barnsley, Preston etc if it’s midweek but most will.

Blackburn, Wigan, hull, huddersfield might not.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Cant wait. Its gonna be so good to have a hugely increased atmosphere every week. She may be a dump but its a great place for old school football and a great away end if youre a dwarf, that doesnt eat, drink or need a toilet

 

[JJH]

Still nothing on Birmingham tickets. Complete embarrassment.

Not saying they wouldn’t, were just accustomed to poor away followings. I think it’s been sold out maybe 4-5 times in 2 years.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

It's not a big allocation is it, used to get the full end but think we share it now.

Not been to KR since 2007 when we lost 3-2, Drew Talbot scored for Luton.

Restricted to around 1050 because as you say, home fans take up 3 blocks or so. In L1 / L2 the no mans land was needlessly big, so we lost around 250 seats there but I suppose in this division it’s a necessity.

Can't complain it is the 10% minimum.
