Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[Dazza]

Enjoy fella.

Sold a decent amount for Reading as well considering the game isn't for another 2 weeks yet, does anyone know the maximum allocation we can get there this year? Remember when we had 5k there under Johnson, but I read somewhere that they don't allocate that anymore?

A maximum allocation of 4,300. The entire South Stand behind the goal.

I love the FA Cup, just wish we weren't completely useless in it.

 

[QPR_Matt]

We havent got past the 3rd round in 11 years. 11! We have lost to the likes of Vauxhall Motors in that time, so how do you think we feel?!

Apart from in 2012 and 2013 when you did...

I want to love the FA Cup, but our draws the past few seasons cannot have been worse.

Yeah your draws were so shit last year that you only got to the Semi Final and nearly made the final.......

 

[QPR_Matt]

Apart from in 2012 and 2013 when you did...

2011/12 lost to Chelsea. 2012/13 lost to MK Dons. 2013/14 lost to Everton.

Take that back!

2011/12 lost to Chelsea. 2012/13 lost to MK Dons. 2013/14 lost to Everton.

2012/13 Lost to MK Dons in round 4 after beating West Brom in round 3

Well. I feel silly.

I WILL NOT TAKE IT BACK

yep keep giving me those shit draws if it means another semi final. I expect what Madejski means is playing a team from the same league is dull.

 

[Madejski]

Those draws were shit until the Bradford QF though.. Huddersfield A, Cardiff A, Derby A... hardly builds excitement. No guarantee that because we have Huddersfield A this year that it'll lead to anything good again.

Brum have sold 1150 or so for Boxing Day, £36 for adults £5 for u17s. Not too bad a turn out.

Approx 1,300 sold according to our Consumer Sales Manager.

With no train service on the day and the cost of the match ticket, it is not bad at all.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

I was going on your OS article fella.....

Admittedly it was posted yesterday.

 

[tiltontrev]

I originally thought around 1000 would be reasonable at those prices.

I've always done football on Boxing Day, it's incomprehensible to me to want to visit in-laws etc, once Christmas Day is over I'm all Christmased out, I want to get away, have a few beers with the lads and put it to bed.

The fact that the kids tickets are a fiver for Sheff Weds makes the gross spend pretty much level with most places.

 

[TomPNE94]

I'll be doing both. Home from Huddersfield by 6:30, family do at 7.

 

[HertsWolf]

It's interesting how strong the Brum away support is given how appalling their home attendances are. Didn't help that they had to play the Cardiff game after the stadium was evacuated though; presumably for security reasons.

 

[Doriva17]

We've sold 5500 for Blackburn on Boxing Day with pay on the day so I imagine it'll be about 6000 in the end.

Sheff weds have sold 1600 apparently for the riverside on 28th. It's not bad with it being on tv and probably stupid prices but I thought they would bring more.

Derby haven't sold their chosen allocation of 1400 for the 2nd jan yet which I think is a bit pathetic as it's such a big game.

Don't charge us so much then!

 

[Doriva17]

It's £32. What did you charge us for the Tuesday night game at your place? Wasn't much less than that was it? Surely you agree if you don't sell that allocation out for a top 2 clash it's abysmal?

 

[Kilburn Ram]

I agree, it's dismal.
Having said that, there's still nine days to go, so no need for too much drama yet.

Half the clubs have two away games in three/four days though. We have Leeds on the Tuesday and that's £37, so £69 for two games. People are going to pick one or the other I'd suggest.

This is the first time we've had a home game on Boxing Day since 2007! A couple of years ago we had Doncaster away Boxing Day then Bournemouth a few days later

 

[Munkiki]

2008, I think. Pretty sure we were away at Palace so presumably you'd have been at home.

The 5.15 kick off is the issue, can just about get home on the train, with POTG I expect 2k, we've sold 3k for Fulham

About 30 years ago your lot mis-behaved quite badly at Reading.

Did they all get slapped wrists?

 

[Football Purist]

Some of those naughty boys may have,yes.
I'm sure you're aware of the match.
In those days things like that happened.
Ahh...nostalgia.

 

[Dazza]

They all got knocked out by the Reading fans carrying rumblesticks.
