[Bill Carr]

according to a mate there it's fucking sparse

27,729
Seen a figure of 306 Preston.
Sparse as in there probably was about 7k empty seats

How was the match?

 

[villa loyal]

200 Rotherham fans at villa. Don’t think that will be official number though.

That was the official crowd. Factor in the ST no shows and there was about 25k there max. The Family Stand was decimated, as it usually is midweek, but there's nothing you can do about that except qualify for the Champion's League

27k inc. ST no shows is still a great crowd for us considering where we were a few years ago

Same as everyone else in the thread I'd of thought.

It's not a strange comment, he doesn't post in any other thread including Leeds match day threads, I thought some of you lot were obsessed with your support but they are like 10x worse.

It’s a football forum, whilst he or Bill or any of the others pass through you’d think they might pass comment on their side who currently look like they’ve got a good chance of promotion back to the top flight for the first time in what, 15 years?

Fucking weirdos the lot of them.

 

[villa loyal]

Sold out 2660 for Bristol City. We are receiving more tickets, so might be the full 3700?

Swear you post more in here than anyone else. Certainly since I've been paying attention to this thread anyway.

 

[villa loyal]

Got to be the most popular thread on the forum? It is strange why people take such an interest, but I’ve always been interested in away followings from a young age. I’ve got an obsession with numbers, so that might explain why.

I also post in many other threads too and I don't just come on here showing off how good my clubs support is. I have a general interest in teams support, no idea why as it is a bit odd but like villa says it's the most popular thread.

The Season Ticket no shows I don't believe happens at ER pal.

Some do, some don't...Leeds dont count them.

Happy to be corrected.

Hear hear.

Only found this forum because I was interested in away support! I have friends IRL to talk about football with, but they'd think I was a freak if I ever brought up something like, "I see Villa's game at Blackburn made general sale", so I'm glad I found fellow oddballs talking about it! And if I went on a Leeds forum and said anything other than "Leeds have the best support in the country" I'd get banned, and I've been banned from a lot of Leeds forums for pointing out how shit our crowds are at times

Nobody wants to believe their club does it, but no reason why Leeds wouldn't. The extent to which there's a disparity can be questioned, but I'd say about 10% of Family ST holders are absent midweek on average

So you’re interested enough to sign up and talk about attendances but not the football? That’s what I can’t get my head around.

Wish Leeds would fuck off up to the prem, so we can take top spot in the away support league

All I’ve took from this is that you’ve joined this forum to call your attendances shit without being banned... am I right?

Be thankful Pompey and Coventry aren’t in the Championship yet, we used to get League 2 daily updates of away tickets sold from about 3 weeks before each game.

 

[The Southbank]

Portsmouth have probably got the best pound for pound away support in the country in all fairness. Turn up in numbers and have got one of the best mobs going.

Not a great record travelling North, same with their mob as well, but their home support is fantastic, it has held up well since relegation from the premier league and all the turmoil that has followed that

In what sense are they pound for pound best away support?

Please deal in facts and truths M'lud...and not hearsay or the weight of ones personage

Wondered how long it'd tek thee to correct it, it's a football forum I'm not writing a fucking novel.

I just wish they'd fuck off. Not to the Prem though.
