Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[GTFCfish]

It shouldn't really affect us.

Doncaster will sell out, Grimsby will bring close or around 1,000 and Crewe will bring decent numbers

I just can't wait for next season to see more than 50 fans in the away end at Blundell Park for once after 6 years of it being fucking empty!

Have you got a decent away end yet?

 

[GTFCfish]

Have you got a decent away end yet?

Erm, well it has seats and a roof!

 

[Amber Nectar]

What's the latest with the proposed new stadium, Grimsby fans?

 

[MimmaGTFC]

The council have decided to have another look at available sites which means more delays. NIMBY's are protesting and the council daren't make a decision in case they upset someone.

 

[Amber Nectar]

Didn't your council help find this site off something parkway? By the sounds of it you could be waiting some time for a new stadium. At least you're not desperate to move out of Blundell Park, it should keep you going for a few more years.

 

[MimmaGTFC]

Yes they did. It's an old council works site. Then the NIMBYs started whining, so they decided to look at other sites, have meetings & hope it goes away. What was really galling was having a civic reception to celebrate promotion with councillors shoving their faces in the TV cameras telling them what it means to the town etc.

That ground looks like a stiff breeze could knock it over

 

[MimmaGTFC]

The one thing we do well here on the Humber is stiff breezes. Trust me when it blows, it blows!

It's still standing

 

[Fishpimps <{{{><]

And it's f***ing freezing in winter!

 

[les.gtfc]

And it's f***ing freezing! in winter!

Corrected that for you.

Your right cheers Les

not away support but we have just passed last seasons season ticket sales. currently at 11124 with 30 odd days left to sell!!

 

[huddsmoose]

Very impressive. That's more than any other league 2 team will average at home next season.

 

[antn1.b]

thought they would drop this season. was expecting another year in league 2 to be a stretch to far

 

[BelizeHatter]

.......by about 50%

 

[antn1.b]

passed 12k now!

 

[Richard Cranium]

We've passed 1500. If that's not massive then I don't know what is.

 

[ProfessorGreen]

A different look at a table from last years away support:

Team-----------------Fans/1,000 miles travelled
Argyle --------------------1,145
Portsmouth ---------------962
Bristol Rovers ------------812
Oxford United ------------579
Carlisle United -----------547
Luton Town --------------542
Northampton Town -----469
Leyton Orient -----------460
Exeter City --------------393
AFC Wimbledon --------366
Cambridge United ------347
Hartlepool United -------345
York City -----------------286
Yeovil --------------------284
Wycombe Wanderers --274
Notts County -----------273
Mansfield Town ---------249
Barnet ------------------175
Newport County -------174
Accrington Stanley ----130
Stevenage -------------129
Crawley Town ---------125
Morecambe ------------116
Dag & Red -------------95

Personally, I think this is a better, more accurate table for away attendances, but then I would wouldn't I? Table stolen from our forum.

 

[BelizeHatter]

Numbers is the only real hard fact otherwise it becomes subjective. It's no more Notts County fans fault they are in the middle of the country and have less traveling than those far flung spots (who all seem well supported to be fair). You are where you are.

Your posted table implies that those with higher actual numbers might not have them if they had to travel as far and who knows? At a glance the table isn't that far off actual numbers either, unless you're willy waving and just want to be top. We all know Pompey are closer to bigger than at least any two combined clubs in this league.

 

[antn1.b]

with an average of under 9k during a season they spent a large chunk of at the top there's not a whole lot of willy to wave.

 

[oakroader]

willy waving...

 

[Fishpimps <{{{><]

Luton's new mascot?
