Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[tommytit]

I'm intruiged to see how busy the trains are Saturday and going forward, as the prices are taking the piss right now.

£60 return to Manchester on Saturday for Salford - Thats with a two together railcard with my mate.

Next away game is Carlisle and my mate can't go (Only game he plans on missing) and its around £100 on the train on the day. Having said that, back in 2011 we played Carlisle away on Easter Monday and I had to pay around that back then. Usually got it recently for around £50.

I’m travelling back to London from Belgium for two weeks tomorrow. I originally looked at going to Salford, but the return ticket from Euston was more than my return ticket from Brussels to St Pancras.

All 648 away tickets Harrogate finally put on sale today at 16:00 were sold by 16:45, so that’s our first away attendance in advance .

Out of 1800 in total

Great support from Rovers

Thanks, you too

685 Bantams today.

Great support from Rovers

More than Salford got for their home game I think (almost )

Salford managed 1,493, so near enough. Man U had a home friendly which will have impacted them. Tragically, that wasn’t even the lowest home attendance of the day as Harrogate barely rustled up 1,100 - and that’s with a chunk of Dale fans in the home end.

Scunny’s was poor, too. Less than 2600 home fans.

Whereas, Carlisle had a fantastic 6000+

Scunny don’t usually get much more than 3,500 home fans on a good day. Understandable that they’re not too enthused about an impending relegation season.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Nothing official announced at Pools, I'd say 100-125 Crawley in a crowd of 5,180

Is that 100 from Crawley not bad or am I still stuck on NL away numbers. I was expecting about 40.

Decent home crowd. Challenge is to keep them there. Think if we have a solid season we can average 4500+

Yeah it seemed a lot more than Crawley would normally bring? Suppose 18 months of watching streams has had an uptick on attendance all round.

 

[BlackCountrySaddler]

Seeing reports that Walsall took 1664 to Tranmere with all the fans that turned up to pay on the day.

The 1293 we apparently took were pre-sold ticket.

 

[White Army]

Didn’t look like 1600 from where I was sat if I’m honest. 1200 looked about right

 

[BlackCountrySaddler]

It would of been a few more, we sold a few on the day talking to a few in the stands, going on social media etc.

Not saying it was 1600 mind, I guessed around 1400.

Good day out either way, thought we created a good atmosphere & Tranmere were pretty loud once they got their goal.

 

[Pablosammy]

Yeah, the official 1300 figure looked spot on. Certainly wasn't 1600 in there. Decent support mind!

I thought there was a move to boycott home games this season?3700 home fans is about normal for latics last few years isn’t it?

629 up on our 19/20 average attendance....

 

[Bottega Don]

Scunny’s was poor, too. Less than 2600 home fans.

It's almost as if all of our fans expect relegation and have seen about 15 home victories over the past 3 seasons. Apathy surrounding the club hardly motivates people to watch.

 

[Conker]

Good following from Rovers, don’t want to get all Lincoln city and talk about home crowds too but it was a good turnout all round and a even better atmosphere yesterday.

 

[northstandexile]

220 from Barrow at Stevenage yesterday

Just Rochdale at Harrogate and
Crawley at Hartlepool missing

£10 tickets at Carlisle, great offer from them.

I think we’ve adopted A Kid A Quid all season I think.

Rochdale were given 628 tickets which sold out. Estimated 100-125 Crawley at Hartlepool.

well done to all fans who went to games home and away ,,swa swa

I think the problem is that people who were going to boycott already are and have been for a couple of years now. Boycotting is probably the wrong word as they’ve just drifted away but those that are left are probably the hardcore. That and there’s probably 1k in that number who were there for the first game in a while and will pick and choose.

Our supporters group have called off the boycott anyway now. We’ve only asked for 1000 tickets for Bradford with no POTD which sounds like it could be due to our owners sticking two fingers up to the ‘away day only’ brigade. Absolute farce.

100% the owners have requested 1000 tickets due to the possibility of away day protests. Sooner they are gone the better.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Have to say I was looking forward to a big away following, it’s very disappointing news. Probably the only chance of a sell out away support unless we have a cup run.

 

[T.A]

Why can't Bradford sell tickets to Oldham fans and let them pick them up on the day?
