Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[northstandexile]

The 351 Orient supporters here in Crewe tonight are making their voices heard

 

[Moonie]

We're up to 863 for our trip to Wimbledon on Saturday. 60 of those were bought by the London Branch, and there'll be a few hundred southern based fans amongst them. Still a decent effort.

 

[Moonie]

Advance sales closed at 904 - not bad at all given the distance and the expense of the trip!

 

[Indian Dan]

Suspicious looking following that.

That’s what I thought. Sold our allocation but sure it was in excess of that.

I’ve never really got the away support dick waving.

If a club gets one person following them on a 700 mile round away trip, that one person is making the same effort as each one of a thousand following another club.

It’s about the result for me. I’d rather we got 3 points in front of 20 away fans than get humped in front of 1000.

 

[F!RTHY]

2000+ sold for Doncaster

800+ sold for Stevenage

And yet here you are, spending time on a thread which is all about the size of away followings. How strange.

Being proud of having a large travelling support is hardly 'dick waving' - unless you're ridiculing those who don't travel so well, at which point it becomes a case of 'mine is bigger than yours is'.

Great numbers from Gillingham, admittedly zero noise but it was a dull performance.

Big result for you lot though, keeps you right in touch with the autos. Tuesday looks like a big game for us both.

Not true, plenty of noise until the ref mugged us off and the game was gone.

 

[Richard Cranium]

I must get my tabs cleaned out then

Don’t act silly, I sit close to the north stand and I barely heard owt all game. Great numbers, no noise.

Ahhh, amongst the 15 year olds. Odd lot.

It was a fairly rubbish away day all told, I don't think many travelled with too much optimism for anything more than a point so that probably had an effect. After the first 10 all the play was all down the far end from us for the majority of the rest of the game which doesn't help the 'involvement' aspect either.

Just to the block at the side actually with a lot of the moaning old lot youth.

It was the Gills fault on winning the toss and not kicking towards the away end in the second half. Very strange.

 

[RLC]

240 something Salford fans in a crowd of 6,516 at Prenton Park. A fair number of Scandinavian and American visitors as well, ahead of the Scouse derby.
