Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

Frankly the only way I can see us getting higher up the table and as a result, out of L2, is relocation. Being London based would provide access to a level of catchment we simply cannot achieve in Milton Keynes.

Your owners are too, have they had enough of North Wales?
Wrexham AFC owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney branched out to Mexico last week, joining soccer Club Necaxa's ownership group, which includes actress Eva Longoria, NFL's Odell Beckham Jr., former soccer player Mesut Özil and model Kate Upton.

Other way around. Same as their involvement in Alpine F1 this is more to do with getting in with investors who are going to end up with a stake in Wrexham (5% has already been bought by someone, possibly this group) . We are going to need more investment if we are to keep pushing on.

Where’s the limit? Could you go all the way? Most seem to get to the Champ and the money runs out

700 MK Dons fans at Crawley. Look at me predicting the future (easy when you sell out in 24 hours like a MASSIVE club). I could get used to this.

I guess it depends who else comes in as an investor. Our revenue (going off talk around the club) is already getting close to the level of Championship clubs (other than those who have received Prem parachute payments) although it's still unknown how long those kinds of levels can be maintained, particularly from overseas fans. This is the reason we are going back over to the US for a preseason tour and doing the TST again etc.

At this stage I am almost expecting us to reach the Championship in a year or two, and there is really no reason we can't go higher, as crazy as that might seem. We definitely need to sort out some of the club infrastructure if we do get much higher though.

I work in the betting industry and I was suprised how short we have you next season but based on the above there’s probably no reason you can’t compete with the Birmingham, Barnsley’s, Huddersfield’s etc of this world

1271 very happy Alex at Doncaster.

If Bournemouth and Brentford can do it, then why can't Wrexham?

1,630 Crawley fans in a crowd of 10,053 at Stadium:MK.

 

[Son of Cod]

Some discrepancies between our list and this one...

Which League Two team has the biggest away following?

In many ways, the fans in English football's fourth tier are the most loyal of all but which League Two team has the biggest away following?

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Significant discrepancies indeed but surely nobody fully trusts the figures in this thread?

I just totted ours up and this thread is correct and that site isn't. I trust this thread more than a cickbait article.

 

[Scum.]

Our number is higher in this thread, so I trust this thread.

"Some cynical football fans may point out that this number is significantly larger than the number of fans who used to travel to watch Wrexham before the club were thrust into the spotlight when Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney became owners in 2020"

checks out. We take more away now we are winning than the seasons we used to knock around mid table in the Conference.

Yeah, who'd have thought it?

But are you happy?

Wouldn't you rather be playing Boston United again rather than Barnsley and Bolton?

I only need to look down the road at our friend's Chester, who will be entertaining Peterborough Sports, Marine and Needham Market next season.

I'm green with envy.

Not sure about you, but i’m quite content playing the proper peterborough than peterborough sports

It'll have to do!

This part of the forum plus the league one part is the reason why I joined this forum. Basically want know the home attendances and away followings each week and the averages as I know somebody on here does a good job recording it in league one and league two.

I don't think our away attendances changed all that much. Miss the days out to the likes of Stafford, Canvey and Farnborough. They were fun times and clubs genuinely pleased to see us.
Now we are herded around without a hope of getting into the local pubs

I kind of agree, but we were so bad we were heading towards playing 'local pubs' at one time. So really pleased we managed to get out of Non-League land really.

First test for our new ticketing and points system today with Salford tickets going on sale. Allocated 1366 which would anticipate will all be gone prior to general sale.

Took me about 2 minutes to get my 2.

Piece of piss.

 

[kieran_vale]

Salford all sold out now.

 

[GTFCfish]

I’m sure they will return the favour by selling out your away end for the return.

Looks to be around 300 tickets remaining from our 2,000 allocation for MK next week!

Edit: seems only half blocks have been on sale. We’ve shifted considerably less than I thought.

Half blocks? I guess we're moving away fans minus AFC again back to the bottom tier then and just having the bottom half covered to discourage invasions.
