Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

No surprise we're top, big allocations and all sold out so far. Accrington are being really generous by allowing 2 stands for us, but for inflated prices, because of Wrexham. Cash in whilst you can.

Also no coincidence that every team we have played is their highest attendance of the season except for Notts, so far...Wonder why?

Celebrity owners, Disney+ and Jacob Mendy.

Although it was never going to outsell Mansfield's Big Day Out.

Jacob Mendy is a joy to watch in fairness.

That's why so many Nottingham folk turned up.

Good player, very good side, very good squad.

462 more county fans turned up to see Wrexham than the Stags. Talk about wanting to see the celebrated owners. Unless it was all the Wrexham fans in the home end as they couldn’t get tickets.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Did they now, well that confirms it the Big Day Out is well and truly Mansfield's both on and off the pitch as it has been for a long time now.

Plus don't forget to count the hundreds of Stags fans in the home ends during our game.

Notts and Wrexham have a special bond after such a special season for both clubs last season I wanted surprised to see another huge crowd at the Lane.

We’ve long been top dogs for away fans : home fans ratio, and challengers for away fans : miles travelled, bot no one is going to get anywhere near us for the away fans : away points gained ratio…

Ahem, does infinity count here?

Haha I think we’ve lost every away game haven’t we?

I can remember sharing it with Bury and Southend for a while too, in fact Grimsby and Southend achieved back to back promotions together in 89/90 and 90/91 going from 4th to 2nd tier and we were then both relegated together back to the 3rd tier in 96/97.
Just realised as I’m typing this that we were also relegated together out of the football league in 20/21 too, bit bizarre.

Pretty sure we went up with Southend in the 70s too when George Kerr was our manager. Cambridge also went up with us and Southend in both of those promotions from 89-91, three teams getting back to backs to the the second tier is absolutely unthinkable these days. Top of L1 way too monied and you'd probably have to time it during a season that doesn't have any of the yo-yp clubs like Barnsley, Rotherham or Peterborough in the division.

Wigan are the worst ones. Normally get promoted from League One whenever they're in it, followed by a disastrous season in the Champ, normally involving not paying their players at some point, a takeover and a points deduction, before dropping back down and suddenly being absolutely fine again to spend big on a promotion push. They've done that 2 or 3 times now.

190 Colchester at Accrington
179 Newport at Gillingham
356 AFAC Dons at Morecambe

What was Crewe away to Harrogate?

 

[Conker]

What was Crewe away to Harrogate?

450

 

[Alfie]

Interestingly that seven clubs exceed 1000 average away following.

Also interesting that the top nine on table have above average away of 650.

 

[northstandexile]

Barrow’s Attendance: 4,007 (862 away). Tonight vs Morecambe

 

[Cloudy]

2474 Grimsby at Donny.

A fairly short trip but for a side who haven't won away since April,and now sit in the bottom 4, that is pretty good

 

[BlackHaddock]

Sold our 500 tickets for the FA Cup game down in Slough, BBC Sunday afternoon for those of us not fortune enough to get a ticket!

Hmm, our first FA Cup game against lower ranked opposition since we lost to Kiddie, and as our last FAC game was a QF does that make us the biggest scalp? On top of that we’ve a terrible recent record in the South East…bring back Green, our best non-league battler for this one

 

[northstandexile]

Colchester Attendance: 3,455 (370 away Swindon fans)

 

[F!RTHY]

Notts County have allocated us 2,951 for our midday KO next weekend.

1,500 sold.

Good result at the weekend and I wouldn’t be surprised to see us sell-out. Not too shabby to say it’s on SKY.

 

[Pilot_Phonic]

That's a great turnout considering it's on tele and a stupid KO time. New manager syndrome and a win and I'd expect the numbers to jump.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

2951 is another generous offering and looks like a great turnout from the Bantams as usual.

Another big crowd at Marvellous Meadow Lane.

Managed to get the golden tickets for Harrogate away in a few weeks time. Operation 'lets go to all 46 league games again' is back underway.

If you can’t get a ticket for our game at Blundell Park whenever it is then drop me a DM and I’ll nick my Sons season ticket off him and sell you it for that game for £500.

 

[Pilot_Phonic]

Top reds always find a way to get tickets these days. I've somehow got golden ones for Tranmere, Stockport and now Harrogate.

Will struggle I think for Salford, all the other ones will be a piece of piss compared.

I know Wrexham have a lot of cash to chuck around but producing tickets made from gold is just taking the piss, just stick to paper ones and stop showing off.

I've got everything away ticket I've tried for. No special tricks.

No tricks for me, just a real pain in the arse to get the small allocations of the tinpot clubs like Harrogate and Stockport.

Newport the last tinpotter giving us a sub 1000 allocation I think.

 

[Indian Dan]

So you’ll sell 3000 at us on Boxing Day?

Thats if they open the Bank which isn’t a given. If not you’ll get 1200.

 

[Pilot_Phonic]

If we're still up there, I wouldn't be surprised you know if we did. With it being Xmas time, such a perfect excuse to get away from the family for a fair few hours
