Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[F!RTHY]

Surely you'll need your own dedicated "away support" thread - something like "the inadequate away end for Bradford discussion thread"

BTW can you help bring Scunthorpe with you by grabbing a win tomorrow - we need a Lincolnshire derby with the loss of the BarcaGrimsby v Real Lincoln El Grassico fixtures

Sorry mate, no can do - we’re dog shit.

 

[Luke Imp]

788 Lincoln at Newport.

 

[kieran_vale]

795 Macclesfield at VP today.

 

[GTFCfish]

1208 Grimsby at Notts.

Lol.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

We haven't been offered those seats.

Odd one, that is. Don't know why then. Definitely there (we had fans in there this season)

 

[StrangelyBrown]

1208 Grimsby at Notts.

Have to say, for a dead rubber (for Town), that is exceptional. In fact, likely to be the highest away end in League 2 today.

Just gotta get the team to match the support for next season- but 1208 is sound.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

1007 Dons at Colchester
109 Shrimps at Cambridge
76 Crawley at Carlisle
650 Oldham at Exeter
209 Stevenage at Mansfield
317 Yeovil at Northampton
1113 Swindon at Cheltenham

Just FGR missing today

Good for them.

Yeah just a shame they got the same shite as usual served up.

 

[F!RTHY]

Lol.

You’re welcome.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Good numbers from Oldham today and made a good noise, at least in the first half

 

[Hurrikeen]

650 Latics @ Exeter. Superb IMO

Yes, that is excellent, albeit it is an attractive fixture at this time of year.

A good following for the Mariners, and I think MK Dons' support was decent by their standards.

 

[Davidimp]

Our club's twitter has just posted our average away support this season is 1393.

I make it 1396 but I'll live with 1393.

0 Bury at Tranmere, shocking. Also 0 FGR at Crewe, but less shocking...

Must have been very localised rain in the NW today- Rochdale, Preston, Fleetwood and Accrington all played at home.

Cammell Laird, the Wirral’s non-league club also got their game on today.

Makes you think.

Our ground is situated in a natural valley and has always been prone to flooding, which Lairds' is not.

The state of our pitch is not great at the moment and should be better, but there was no incentive for us to have the game called off. We were expecting a massive crowd and even Uri Geller could not have predicted today's scores.

Did you see the state of Accrington’s pitch yesterday?

 

[Crewelad87]

218 FGR at Crewe yesterday.

Jesus, that's a proper 80s pitch!

The weather was filthy yesterday, culminating in a gig in New Brighton where I had to wade through half a foot of water to unload the car. Having said that, that's right on the coast and I can only assume we called it off as a preventative measure and to protect the pitch.

 

[GTFCfish]

Leeds would’ve taken more.

 

[Chris FGR]

Keeping our average away attendance over 200 for the full season. Nothing compared to some of the MASSIVE clubs in this league but better then some.

It is the referee who calls the game off, so conspiracy theories like that don't make any sense.

I think that is actually quite good, when compared to Crawley / Stevenage etc.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

It's real progress from our point of view, even if small beer in absolute terms. That and the home portion of our crowds staying over two thousand. I'm pretty pleased.

Approaching 10% of home attendance is pretty decent over a season. As you say, some 'established' league clubs struggle to get that.
