Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[northstandexile]

After 6 round of games and each team playing three away games ( except Carlisle) here is my estimation of away followings. There are a few estimates but it gives a good indication.
Note Bradford City have been disadvantaged due to limited tickets at Barrow and Hartlepool.

1099​	Grimsby Town
1059​	Doncaster Rovers
931​	Stockport County
865​	Leyton Orient
699​	Crewe Alexandra
672​	Mansfield Town
659​	AFC Wimbledon
597​	Bradford City
549​	Gillingham
537​	Swindon Town
486​	Walsall
483​	Northampton Town
438​	Barrow
379​	Tranmere Rovers
342​	Hartlepool United
323​	Carlisle United
296​	Colchester United
268​	Newport County
175​	Stevenage
154​	Rochdale
146​	Salford City
142​	Sutton United
138​	Crawley Town
71​	Harrogate Town

We all know Grimsby have best support

 

[northstandexile]

Just got estimates for these, anyone got official numbers?

Harrogate at Crewe est 100
Northampton at Crewe est 600
Newport at Harrogate est 150
Salford at Harrogate est 100

150 idiots at Lincoln in the over priced pizza cup

912 total crowd at BP, not sure how many Stags.

Good low turnout from us then - sub 800 - one of the best of the night...

 

[F!RTHY]

Salford sent us just over 1,300 tickets.

Stunning.

1150 standing and 216 seating? Same as what we've got if so. £15 too, say what you will about the class of '92 but decent price that.

Fairly sure they gave us nearer 1,500 in 19/20.

Aye, decent price. However it reflects in their facilities.

Another sell out, nonetheless.

Are Salford still using a storage container for toilets? Tinpot.

Very very good.

533 Rotters and a flare in the Cowshed for last nights trophy game.

 

[Son of Cod]

Bought my Salford ticket this morning and then found out there's a train strike on that day so got it refunded. Really annoying. Getting hard to support these strikes.

 

[Conker]

Probably should be £10 for Salford considering how poor the away end is. £25 for Crewe this Saturday is OTT.

Yeah obscene price for L2 football that.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Unfortunately it seems to be getting to be standard at this level. It was £25 on the day at Swindon last week and my ticket for Wimbledon away cost £25. Add in the cost of transport (not a problem for the vast majority of Sutton fans going to Wimbledon, but it is for an exile like me) along with the well publicised economic situation it’s getting difficult to justify going to games

 

[Conker]

Should be capped at £20.

 

[BarraMatt]

Think it's about £16 in advance for a terrace ticket here and £17 OTD, not sure if those prices are the same for away fans. But when you think of the luxurious, modern day facilities which include a backdrop of the Lake District I'd say it's an absolute bargain.

I'm considering Barrow away on a Tuesday this season. I feel like it's a legendary pilgrimage/rite of passage that every lower league football fan needs to do.

It is, but you've got to meet certain criteria to be awarded your Tuesday Night in Barrow certificate though:

• Your team loses
• It rains
• Average wind speed of over 20mph
• Video/photographic evidence of you receiving verbal abuse from one of the 16 year olds stood by the traffic lights after the game

Think we're actually unbeaten in four or five trips to your place in recent times, probably because we're one of the few clubs who can get close to rivalling you for sub zero temperatures and wind coming in from the corners of the stadium.

Our home record in the previous two seasons was horrendous, three points for the away teams were handed out like penny sweets.

 

[F!RTHY]

Salford away - now sold out.

If it wasn’t for the loyalty scheme, I reckon these would’ve shifted within an hour of being on sale.

5 out of our 7 awaydays have sold out thus far - the other two both being Tues nights (Col and Tran).

Aye we can’t sell out as I think they hold a small number back for general season ticket sale. Anyway they’d gone by time I’d realised they were on sale and I wasn’t Uber enough to be in the bands so iFollow it is.

I don’t think they do, do they? Surely loyalty banding and tickets being on sale to season tickets holders would suffice? I think the allocation was 1,330 and they’ve announced over 1,300 sold?

I don’t know just what someone said a while back but I might have misread that they keep 20% back for general season ticket sales, that said with the banding you can’t always get a ticket with those you want to go with so most seem to wait anyway. Only half had sold by this morning then the rest disappeared in a puff of smoke within minutes. I doubt we’ll ever sell out before the bandings end.

 

[F!RTHY]

There’s a distinct lack of County fans on this forum, so on their behalf.

We’ve allocated them 2,753 for their visit on the 8th October.

Really looking forward to this one.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Sutton have sold the full 1200 allocation for Wimbledon away on October 15th

I thought that you didn’t care about away attendances?

Nope. I think taking the piss out of away numbers is counter productive. It really isn’t the same thing
