Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

Have Bradford fans ever been outnumbered at home before?

Think Rangers had more fans than we did during McCall's testimonial match. 10,000 Rangers I think it was.

 

[DippyDon]

Not sure what the initial allocation for Stockport is, but we've sold it out

 

[Alfie]

Will update if Bradford v Notts Co attendance supplied.

Will update if Bradford v Notts Co attendance supplied.

See above - 17,983 - not just BBC, also that is the figure shown by ESPN so it must be right (in some kind of parallel universe where Bradford City are still a big club)

We had slightly more that day - attendance was just over 21,000.

Bradford 296 home fans & Notts Co 1008 away fans !!!
I think not.

Is the away1008 confirmed? If confirmed that's a good showing for sure and that farmers field cost the home club 600 paying fans.

As for the overall attendance, it's Bratfud, just take a guess.

“MK Dons sold out their initial allocation of 474 tickets and have been granted a further 100, which are available to buy now ahead of Saturday”

I used figures supplied by Son of Cod on post 15,748 (page 525)

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Sounds good to me. We sold over 1600 for the original fixture but our L2 opposition's basic infrastructure let everybody involved down.

Nevertheless over 1000 on a Tuesday night when you have won 1 in previous 9 or so, not won away since thr autumn and comfortably the worst form in the entire league meaning you've fallen from looking good for the playoffs to lower mid table is a great effort.

The impressive Valley Parade seemingly will always have that pull to bring in the punters

I think crafty Bradford have been including those 10000 Rangers fans that came for that friendly in every Tuesday night attendance this season.

Just tickets sold for the game mate, as per most clubs.

Bums on seats will fluctuate more than ever at our games due to cost of tickets. Comparatively, for many games last season, fans couldn’t even get tickets for the home ends. That’s the difference between being competitive and not.

Anyway, Grimsby given us exactly 1,200 and Salford 1,366 tickets.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

I know a thing or two about a sparse big kop stand and on Tuesday night in West Yorkshire that looked very sparse!

Huge fluctuation from the locals.

…and last season (even though I found it poor for the large part).

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Looks like fairweather fans in the extreme.

We know all about shit , clueless and toxic (or all 3) owners ruining a club and driving the fanbase away. Big boys Bradford are just prime example currently.

Sad to see.

Notts county website says
ATTENDANCE: 17,983 (1,008)

non-tinpotters have been given a maximum of 1,165 so far this season so you are still top dogs getting the extra 35 - mind it seems only about 40% of your ticket holders turn up at the moment so we’ll expect 500…

 

[Richard Cranium]

MK fans, what’s the max you lot give out for away numbers this year? Can’t find whatever Wrexham, Notts etc had at your place this season. We’ve been given an initial allocation of 2000 odd which will go regardless of if we could get promoted that day. If we could any chance of getting 5k again?

The most we are allowed to give out is around 7,000 still. Wednesday and Derby both brought just over 6.5k last year.

Most taken this season so far that I can see is Notts County with around 2700.

It’s a shame our game was on a Tuesday so we only brought 500 or so as if it was a Saturday we’d have taken the full 7000.
In fact whoever’s doing the averages maybe add another 6500 to our total in light of this new information cheers.

Yes, there needs to be a special adjustment factor in the excel model for MK away on a Tuesday as opposed to a Saturday; even Lincoln took 5k there one time when it wasn’t snowing or icy and also dog shit had been cleaned from all pavements around the stadium.

“MK Dons sold out their initial allocation of 474 tickets and have been granted a further 100, which are available to buy now ahead of Saturday”

Maximum allocation is 906 at Stockport, so you are really tin pot if you can’t sell that out. Even tin-potters like Crewe and Doncaster have sold it out this season.

 

[Conker]

Only getting an initial allocation at Stockport alone is massively tinpot.

We’ve only been given under 600, can’t sell more than what we’ve been given

 

[chipmunx]

any Newport fans heading to Barrow by train tomorrow need to be aware there was a derailment on the Lancaster to Barrow line today apparently caused by a sinkhole which means the there are now no trains on the line until at least 8th April. A bus replacement service is running but adds 60-90 mins to the journey

That's what you lot will have requested/agreed to. If you wanted more you could have had them.

Chuff me you know you’ve made it big when a Mansfield fan calls you tin pot

I mean, to be fair, they are both a lot closer to Stockport than we are so that may be a contributing factor to their massiveness (especially Crewe). It’s a 354 mile round trip for us vs 120 for Doncaster and 70 for Crewe.

In all (well, some) seriousness, we should still be selling out so I don’t disagree, though we did establish in another thread we are a bigger club than Bradford based on our history vs their last 20 years, so I will rest with that massiveness today.
