Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2024/25

[Walkley_Owl]

Wolves took 4,068 last season. Reading had a similar following in 2011/12.

I would rather the Gil Merrick be half-empty than have 4,000+ away supporters there.

Apparently your last line seems to be right, Brum have reduced the maximum allocation.

 

[El Guapo]

Sold our allocation for Bristol City, only given 1,451.

 

[Aaron-Bcfc]

Sold our allocation for Bristol City, only given 1,451.

Should get the whole Atyeo when ground is complete mate.

 

[Ciderup]

Sold our allocation for Bristol City, only given 1,451.

That's all we can give at the mo El G due to the building work.
As Aaron mentions, 4,350 away tickets available next season if we're still here as the work will be finished so it's a temporary allocation.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

QPR away now all sold out!

 

[tiltontrev]

QPR details released, getting the away end top & bottom for the first time for as long as I can recall, 3000+ brilliant, one of my favourite away days.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Reading 2,300 sold
Shrewsbury 1,500 sell out inside a day
Brum 1,500 sold in first 4 days

You heading to any of them?

All three. Only missed Cardiff away in the league this season, gave Newcastle a swerve in the cup mind.

Surely your points system doesnt work quite fairly then if they went in a day. Isnt it guaranteed so the ones who go to them all get tickets

It was for people with 670 points yesterday so yes it does.

Think you'll sell them all?

I'm happy we've gone back to giving away teams both tiers, makes for a much better atmosphere with that end being full of genuine fans rather than a bunch of day trippers who are more interested in taking photos of opposition players.

If we arent selling out, then makes no sense. Those fans (some are fans, ive had to sit there before) then go in the other 3 stands, which is more packed, which makes our home support a bit more vocal.

Well, on paper anyway.

Incidentally Shrewsbury will be the 82nd current league ground I've attended watching Wednesday

We've got both tiers for our game against you - thought you might have kept one for yourself.

Should be a cracking atmosphere, the games at Fulham the last 2 years have been amazing (though we were allowed to bring 7,000 and 5,000)

Surely a few must of missed out then who had 670 +?

Apparently our ticket office manager said that the number of people on 670 was under the allocation so if went to the second tier 630 at 9am, so a tad over 24 hours is more accurate.

5 of them the same, obviously never played them. Did you not play southend in the championship about 7 or 8 years back?

Really does show you lot have been all over the leagues. I've done abotu 125 grounds but reckon only about 65-70 of those were actually watching Chesterfield and i've been going home and away for 12-13 years now. Done a few old grounds where teams have moved to a new one like Brighton, Colchester and Barnet but really struggle to get a new ground in now unless I go somewhere random when i can be arsed, which is rarely now or I go abroad following England.

Yep weve been in 3 divisions benefits ground visiting. iv no idea how many grounds in total iv done i could work it out easily enough i suppose, infact im going too.

Just counted dont think iv missed any and i have come up with a total of 126.

I have seen the blades at 98 of them. They include.

6 old ones.
4 in scotland
4 in the conference
4 below the conference
Wembley x2,nou camp,cape town stadium,millenium stadium.
All the rest are following england abroad.

What do you get for 700 points?
A toaster?

100% definite

As I've mentioned on here before, we have a bit of a strange fan base at times. We'll just about sell out Derby 40 minutes up the road but we'll take 3-4000 down to London easy peasy. I've got to tread carefully with the missus if I'm going to be coming down, I've booked to go to Madrid for 4 days valentines weekend (I never realised this at the time) to take in a Real game, do the stadium tour etc etc less than two weeks after I return we play yourselves, then the following week a mate of ours is fighting at the NEC which I'll be at

Same as ones I've not been too apart from Southend which I've been too and Fleetwood I haven't, Been to Wimbledon and Oxford's previous grounds Plough Lane and Manor Ground.
Clubs dropping into Conference like Wrexham and Tranmere means its near impossible to become a member of all 92 grounds visited club.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Fleetwood for me too, I'd included Southend twice. I know who you Brad, go wi Maggie's?
