Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

Who’s looked at their fixtures at the business end of the season. I know it’s almost impossible now to know who’s likely to be in and around the playoffs, but any tasty likely 6-pointers?

We’ve got Wrexham, Franchise and Gill$ in our last 6 ready for our annual choke

 

[AdamStag]

See what you mean

Yeah, i’m sure 1 picture makes it reality

 

[AdamStag]

Last time we played em we had 4200 or so. Unless they’ve actually got restrictions in place now as to what they can put in there by SAG or whoever then I can see them giving it us. The police will push for it, especially now with it being on the tele. Loads will just go down for a day on the piss and watch it on the tele if they don’t get tickets because we’ve been given 2800 or whatever it is.

Guess we’ll find out in a couple of weeks, we usually put away tickets on sale 3 weeks before the game.

I thought it was established that stand had a capacity of 2,900 or so as the concourse is a health and safety issue, there’s no changes they’d give the full allocation in that stand.

 

[Gerald Hattrick]

Wrexham away on 30th September sold out.

Lucky enough to get a ticket but probably getting there close(ish) to kickoff. Rather than trying to find a pub is there a bar in the away section?

Maybe one of your main coppers is just getting a little excited a little early, nowt new.

You barely bring over 2,000 anyway* so 2,900 is more than enough and let's be honest very very generous at this level.




* I know, you know that's not true Adam but you are just making shit up so I thought I'd join in.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Of course it is but we always bring well over 2000, or we have done on every league visit for the last 20 years anyway

Hey, it’s you that constantly can’t fill a stand that doesn’t even hold 2,000 buddy

What does it hold now? I know it's been shrinking 1700?

Of course you've seen the Kop 1/4 full when you've visited Meadow Lane, of course you have Adam

Maybe try watching a few game highlights from this season, or last at the San Sirrel.

Yeah 1700, you were 550 or so short last time round, maybe with all the new fans they might actually manage it this time. here’s hoping

That was the season we got relegated and had a disastrous chairman.

Last time that applied to you in this fixture there were 4002 fans in attendance, not home fans, total gate! Ouch! For a local derby

Safe to say your (only) Big stand was 1/4 full that day, at best

But that what happens when you heading for the non league#stain

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Enjoy. Obviously it’s the second goal but vid is only 30 seconds anyway.

Christ. 28 years ago.

The commentary mentions how we had ‘work to do’ to get back to division 2. So much work in fact we’ve never actually made it.

I would find it very surprising if Mansfield got 4000 tickets. What Grimsby received seems the limit nowadays.

I’m really pleased you got the #stain on your record, even better chesterfield now have 6 years of it

It’s still a brilliant allocation in fairness for this league.

So Chesterfield the longest #stain then Mansfield, then Notts.

Did us both a world of good, may well do for Chesterfield too.

I can live with that.

 

[Indian Dan]

We’re just short of 3000 for away fans at the CG - as long as 2 thirds don’t mind being out in the open.

their #stain might well, and hopefully will increase in years.

As is always the case with mansfield, it’s only ever what chesterfield do.

Taken from our last home game against Stanley, envious is not a good look Adam.

 

[Conker]

Nobody is envious of the dream factory.

 

[PuB]

Nobody is envious of the dream factory.

Notts have stolen the dream factory from Stockport?

This is all very dramatic

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

You wouldn't like to see 10,000+ in attendance at the One Call Stadium for the first time in your lifetime?

 

[chief]

I wouldn't leave it to just the ground. On the rare occasion where we actually serve beer in the away concourse, it takes a million years to actually get served (same in the home ends). I'd go without colours for the day and drink in town, lots of choices.

 

[Alfie]

Just come across this set of stats on Wiki.
Seems attendances are slowing creeping up.
And last season Bradford almost averaged a fantastic 18,000. This season only slightly lower number but still excellent for a 4th tier club in bottom half of table.

 

[AdamStag]

Envious, it was a solid 2/10 attempt to be fair, bless

 

[AdamStag]

No dreams being made there yet this season, that’s for sure!

 

[northstandexile]

Northstandexile posted the ones from before this weekend about four or five pages back, just incase you missed it.

Just a quick update after the weekend, just for the top few. I am sure our County brethren will get there willys out and wave them.

Notts County 1859
Grimsby 1741
Mansfield 1521
Bradford City 1415
Wrexham 1376

That was also the season we got relegated and had a disastrous c*** running the club, so much so people were boycotting home games. I reckon we had more at your place that season than we did in the home ends for the return fixture. Another time you lot didn’t fill the away end too

Attendances all over seem to be on the rise these days though, bar at Salford anyway. What’s the crack with that, I know in a few cases like ourselves we seem to be challenging at the right end of the league for once but they seem to be up across the board, and if anything the prices to watch are getting worse!

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

That wasn't the only time you brought more to Meadow Lane than you took to Field Mill for your very next league match. The very definition of the Ultimate Big Day Out, that will never be beaten.

But that's what happens when off field shambles take over a club and effect things on the pitch and in the stands.

Attendances are booming, didn't see anyone predicting that post pandemic and in a reported cost of living crisis
