Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[darren gregory]

Yep but also unsurprising. There’s a boycott planned for Saturday’s home game. It’s not a happy place to be at the moment and after 25 years of decline, our current owners have finally managed to kill off any support and enthusiasm we had left

Been there got the T-shirt, hopefully new owners of your club will change things,
Our boycott and protest was scrapped last season after our ex owner mysteriously got knocked over by a car the previous evening !!

And last week the police case was dropped!

Looked and felt like more but hey ho

Grimsby following is ridiculous, wonder what they'd take if they were any good

In the crowd it looked about 400 but when you see pictures or videos on you tube it looks like hardly anybody is there so I'd say 313 is right.
Grimsby away following is superb dont know why that many went like.

The Holloway factor

 

[E10rifle]

The Holloway factor

And it’s the best away day in the division, of course.

Nah that’s Stevenage.

 

[denzel ecfc]

We've already sold the initial 500 tickets for Swindon in three weeks time. Hopefully we will take over 1000 if given them.

 

[Pennywise]

No official figure anywhere for Crewe at Swindon. Looked around 350 though.

That is appalling. Top 3 clash ffs. Don't give me the fact it's a poor away day, blah blah blah. Heard it all before. When we had a top of the table clash at Gillingham, which is a much poorer away day and much further, may I add, we took 7-800 odd.

I think this must be correct - we keep going back in good numbers, and its the preferred trip for our Belgian branch from Aalst. Even without the Holloway factor there would have been 800.

Salford is the most popular away day this season - but as someone said above next season they will get a shock because it's rubbish.

Another new ground could be GTFC - it is now looking the more realistic than the previous false dawns. Get your trips to Cleethorpes in this season and next, the new ground will be in the centre of Grimsby.

A change of location would be awful for away fans. The saving grace of Grimsby away is that it's not that far from the beach area. I bet an August away day against Grimsby would be class, I wouldn't know as we always play at Grimsby in the dark days of winter though.

If the new ground is being built where it's strongly rumoured to be then it'll only about another mile and a half from the current ground so Cleethorpes will still be an option for pre-match drinks with a regular bus service to the new ground. There'll also be a train station (Grimsby Docks) right on the doorstep but at the minute ony the Barton line Northern Trains stop there.

Still be a lot nearer a main train station than Scunny's ground though.

212 Vale at Morecambe. Didn’t they take 8k away last week?

Excellent following in the conditions for the forth away trip in a row to be fair.

I wouldn’t go as far as saying excellent, but OK given the circumstance.

 

[valefan16]

4 away games in 10 days I’d say it’s excellent considering the conditions...

It’s not far of the Tuesday night followings you used to bring to us tbf.

Considering the conditions? It was a bit windy it’s hardly hurricane Katrina

 

[darren gregory]

Well to be honest I don't think you can use the 4 games as an excuse.
Man City was a tenner and nobody goes to the paint pot.
Just think it's the fact that night matches some can't get off work. I didn't go because of work but went to Stevenage.

The following is ok , we actually took more a couple of seasons back when we were 23rd and won 3-0 .
Excellent is stretching it

We took more to Salford in the Leasing didn't we?

Yes though possible new ground factor, two lads I know went who didn't get tickets in August.

 

[Andy Proctor]

Out them 4 away games I went Man city and stevenage whereas one of my mates went man city and salford. Apart from the die hards that go every game I'd be surprised if theres many which went all 4 of them.

 

[Pennywise]

I went to Man City and none of the other three.
