Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

Ahhhh so that’s why more Stags fans and friends come to Meadow Lane than go the shorter distance to 3 sided Field Mill

Makes sense, better ground, better city, and 1 or 3 points every time

Trip to Jerusalem is a gimmick. Once you get over how it looks, it’s very average. Nottingham as a whole is ideal for football though.

Totally agree , great for a first time, great for tourists and rural folk but far far better options elsewhere if you just look a little. Basically it’s like Hooters in that sense.

Nottingham has so many pub options pre and post game , so should be fantastic for away fans . Lucky buggers

Cheltenham up there with Nottingham as one of the best away days in the league

Crawley one of the worst (I’ve been to both)

Really? If we are a worse trip than Cheltenham I give up.
Much prefer somewhere like Cambridge

I said ‘one of’, I’ve never done Cambridge or Exeter away. Either way Exeter is a lovely place but that away end looks atrocious so that counts against you.

We'll have a brand new second hand one next season. Personally I'd prefer a terrace behind the goal than seats. Many of our lot were disappointed to be moved to the seats at Cambridge last week. Still, each to their own.

 

[shoddycollins]

Looks like it'll be around 2000 Carlisle at Morecambe. That's the final allocation at least.

 

[mowgli]

646 Chairboys at Huish Park.

 

[Vanni]

847 U's fans at Boro. We're massive

291 Grecians party pooping at the Wham

 

[The Jovial Forester]

765 at Whaddon Road then, better than it sounded like it was going to be.

 

[Evans1883]

1197 coventry at crawley

 

[darren gregory]

No figure yet on Lincoln but very impressive I'd say easily 1500 minimum.
Very quiet though even at 0-0.
Can't knock that following at all.

 

[Luke Imp]

1,492 Imps.

 

[darren gregory]

Good estimate from me

 

[Bee sting]

123 Bees make the long walk to Grimsby, thanks to our shit club not putting on any transport.

So with one game to go, our average attendance at the Kenny is going to be around 8,650 this season, falling about 500 short of the 200,000 mark in total. The last home game is already a sell out, although FGR will undoubtedly not bring many more than 50-100. And people wonder why teams only get a 1000 allocation maximum.

Yesterday Crewe supporters were efficiently put into the very far corner of the Oak Road stand - because no more were going to be sold. Previously, for very small away attendances, one corner block of the Kenilworth Road Lower Stand was cordoned off for away fans, just to maximise the already 'at limit' capacity.

Solid numbers nonetheless - about a 8-9% increase on last season, unsurprisingly.

Our Tuesday night figures do drop considerably, which I'm sure is the case everywhere.

 

[northstandexile]

472 magpies at col uwe
189 Crewe at the kennel
1851 Carlisle, 1468 Morecambe
949 Swindon at the Dave

In fairness we’ve done Crawey for the weekend the last 2 times we’ve played. The town centre is about a 20 minute walk from the ground and there’s 5/6 pubs that we went in. They love us in the White Hart.

 

[CFC91]

We've got Exeter away tomorrow night, will be our west of the season easily. Anyone going there needs their heads looking at.

I see we’re taking the piss regarding Luton’s tickets for this Saturday, their potential promotion party. The club have been sending them tickets in batches, allocated 400 to begin with

Should be a decent atmosphere, hopefully their celebrations are delayed a little while.

After hosting Oxford's promotion party a couple seasons back, I'd rather not host another.

 

[GTFCfish]

134 Chesterfield at Exeter, cracking effort that all things considered.

 

[northstandexile]

93 Glovers at the wham, another cracking effort

393 choirboys at Lincoln

Crazy bastards. Proper fans, None of this half scarf wearing, selfie stick, padded seats and boxes of pizza like the tourist fuckers in the Premier League are used too. Sadly though they do deserve more.

Each one should actually get a medal.

That said, I remember going to the replay against tran mere, when the original match had been called off as a fan had climbed the flight lights and we'd already been relegated.

Hope they all have a safe trip home.

 

[CFC91]

Most other clubs would have rewarded them with a beer / pie or a ticket for another game. Our club don't give two ***** so they were probably just laughed at for being crazy enough to go.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Sadly most clubs wouldn’t Spire, that’s a rarity for a lot of clubs
