Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[BarraMatt]

To be fair it’s so big that I’m fucking off our own game that week to go to Carlisle instead.

Apparently football fans in South America view this game like we view their Copa Thingymabob final.

 

[Dan Phillips]

All 200 standing tickets at Salford sold. I know that's not a lot, but that's the standing only and it is only Tuesday

You mean the seating surely!?

 

[denzel ecfc]

Nope

 

[Dan Phillips]

Nope

Their terrace holds a bit more than 200?

 

[JaredSUFC]

273 Sutton fans in an attendance of 3,013 at Colchester

Not a bad following for a midweek fixture at all that.

Cowlings approach of make it as much hassle as possible to attend a home game is really hurting that Colchester home support. Problem is once people get out the habit of going very often they tend to need a lot of convincing to go back.

I was pleasantly surprised. We probably wouldn’t have taken too many more on a Saturday tbh.

Whilst not the biggest away support our numbers for our first season at this level are more impressive than our first season (back) in the Conference in 15/16.

We have sold around 500 tickets for Mansfield on Saturday, so it will be another decent following.

 

[White Army]

420 oldham at Carlisle
224 barrow at walsall

missing Crawley at Scunthorpe
and Tranmere home and Northampton away numbers

Home crowd was 6900. Around 500 Northampton, but thats an estimate

This was said on Sunday higher up the thread

475 happy Cobblers amongst the 6885 at Prenton Park yesterday

The lowest away support at Prenton Park has been Salford City and they are the closest place to us out of all our opponents by a long way.

Great estimate...

Sounds like the stewards are going to be a right barrel of laughs

 

[saddler78]

Sold out our allocation for Sutton today.

 

[denzel ecfc]

472 Grecians at Salford - 25% of the crowd!

 

[MadJohn]

673 pissed off Poolies at LOrient. That suggests at least 50 bought tickets but swerved it.

 

[kieran_vale]

*posted in wrong thread*

 

[The Jovial Forester]

152 Rovers at Valley Parade. About 2.5% of the crowd

 

[JaredSUFC]

607 Walsall fans in a crowd of 3,319 at Sutton today

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

288 Carlisle amongst 4909 at Sixfields...

 

[BarraMatt]

319 Rochdale in a crowd of 3,300 odd at Barrow I think it was, will need confirming.

 

[RLC]

630 Tranmere fans at Mansfield.

 

[Indian Dan]

635 Swindon at Oldham - with a seemingly dodgy overall attendance figure given of 4,085

 

[northstandexile]

181 iron at Colchester
389 vale at Crawley
600 brovers at Harrogate
92 stevenage at Newport

 

[saddler78]

607 Walsall fans in a crowd of 3,319 at Sutton today

Nothing but good things said from our fans who went very friendly and a great day out they also loved the grounds old school feel and atmosphere.

The win may have helped there.

The Walsall fans were in good voice.

 

[northstandexile]

630 Tranmere fans at Mansfield.

Total attendance corrected to 4484 from 3831

Unfortunately, a technical error led to the incorrect announcing of Saturday's attendance at home to Tranmere Rovers.

For clarity, the attendance inside One Call Stadium was 4,484, which included 630 visiting fans.

I have a done a table based on mileage travelled and taking into account night matches.

The figures produced correspond to travelling 150 miles on a Saturday afternoon or 100 miles for an evening game. The figures quoted are not an average but a median which even outs the unusually numbers that can be created by selling all tickets at small away grounds.

I think this gives a more accurate ranking for willy waving.

743​	Hartlepool United
742​	Bradford City
627​	Bristol Rovers
627​	Swindon Town
596​	Exeter City
535​	Leyton Orient

513​	Carlisle United
445​	Port Vale
410​	Walsall
408​	Colchester United
364​	Oldham Athletic
364​	Mansfield Town
341​	Barrow
