Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[CFC91]

The money ploughed into the south is a joke, Northern's train stock is still stuck in the 80's. They have my sympathy, it's just a ridiculous situation.

It's a joke the whole rail network. I travel on Northern into work every day and in a week this is typically what happens

1 day a week -cancellation - trains only every half hour so next one turns up (usually late) and is fully so nobody can get in, have to get a taxi or drive into Leeds

2 days a week - late running, people for next train arrive at platform, so trains are packed or even worse, you can;t get on. By packed I mean you are standing on eachothers toes.

1 day a week - Northern run it on a short formation so it's already fully when it turns up so get left on platform

Repeat cycle. It's pathetic. The trains are 40 year old, leaking, and generally minging - and that's when you can actually get on them. Not had a seat in 19 months of commuting so can't comment on those.

Understand the issue is the same across other northern cities, not just Leeds.

I'd drive but the traffic is chaos and its £14 a day to park at the work car park, and the street parking is likely to get you your car nicked. I've already had 1 car stolen this year, so don't fancy another!

Same issue for Northern trains from Manchester up to Preston and Blackpool. Every other service is pretty much cancelled and you're lucky if the train you're on is less than 10 mins delayed.

The trains in and out of manchester are a joke. I live in sale so would normally get the met into work at old Trafford. As it’s expensive and crowded and sometimes can’t get on I got a bike for £150 instead and do that.

I’m still fat, but it’s a lot less stressful

Privatisation, total joke

 

[denzel ecfc]

576 Yeovil for their closest game of the season. Pretty poor.

 

[GTFCfish]

576 Yeovil for their closest game of the season. Pretty poor.

Given their woeful form I don’t think it’s that bad.

 

[gijsbert_bos]

910 Imps at Gresty Road. Should be 2000 at Cambridge on Saturday.

 

[Habbinalan]

121 Crawley in our massive Boxing Day crowd today. Thanks to Lincoln lot for making the effort.

446 Dons at Cheltenham
282 boro at Col Uwe
516 Bury at the Mill

 

[Moomin]

576 Yeovil for their closest game of the season. Pretty poor.

It is poor but when you look at how their home crowds have dropped dramatically in the past few seasons, it’s hardly surprising.

Over 2000 tickets sold apparently

 

[Franchisor]

We've sold out our allocation (1400+) for the 22 mile trip to Northampton on Saturday.

 

[Luke Imp]

Seems we've been given an extra 200 tickets, which takes our allocation to 2,600 for Cambridge. They'd made the final 200 or so of the 2nd batch available as pay on the day so I'm assuming they're just being on the safe side with this 3rd batch rather than expecting them to be sold.

I can't see 400 deciding to turn up on the day.

 

[GTFCfish]

253 Grimsby at Exeter.

 

[Hurrikeen]

778 Latics @ Vale Park

No idea how many Bury fans were at Notts and don’t really care tbh but a gate of just over 7000 is stunning all things considered aka we’ve spectacularly sh*t all season

 

[Boz]

109 Glovers at Prenton Park

 

[EricSabin]

Nice for MK to sell out at Sixfields for the first time in a while. Ran through their original song list including Allez Allez Allez, Allez Allez Allez oh, everywhere we go, we’re on our way etc. Desperate.

Yeah but this is the away support thread, maybe stick shit like that that no one cares about in the general match thread yeah?

 

[Conker]

Really poor efforts from Bury and Swindon at Field Mill in our last two games. Only 400 odd today.
