Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[Don Caster]

You’re right, 733 at Walsall is a below par boycott compared to AFC’s efforts over the years at our place. A boycott means a bigger than usual attendance right?

Genuine question, the reasons AFC despise you lot is clear obvious & totally understandable but why do you hate them, is it because they started & the very bottom, caught you up & overtook you within about 15 years & have a better home & away following?

We've inevitably sold out for Fleetwood on Saturday, allocation of just over 1k. Worrying to see that the made it to general sale for a few hours. I'd like to say I'm looking forward to it...

How can you slag off Walsall attendances? Yours were pretty shite when u was top earlier in the season.

Were they? Currently 7th in the league for home attendance, so not really shite.

Averaging over 7k and that's with a shite 6 weeks, where we were dreadful. 10k against Crewe. 9k against Walsall, couple of 8k and 7k attendances.

Pre covid we were averaging 4-5k, so our attendances are going up.

Surprised by our attendance yesterday, but in a poorly paid area, late into January, when some people haven't been paid for several weeks, it's kind of understandable. Plus it was absolutely freezing. I suspect Walsall had similar issues but they surely deserve 7k minimum.

Obviously we'll never be as massive as Pompey.

I mean, why do you hate your rivals…? Genuine but silly question really.

You can’t go 20+ years trashing everything about a club and expect not to get anything back from their fans. I’d say it’s as simple as that but there’s a lot more to it which goes right through both club‘s cores and results in the level of pettiness that AFCW often display on match day…

See exhibit 1,026, Harry Pellend last year:

Harry Pell: AFC Wimbledon midfielder handed one-match ban for kicking balls at MK Dons fans - BBC Sport

AFC Wimbledon midfielder Harry Pell is banned for one match for repeatedly kicking balls at MK Dons fans during the warm-up to the rivals' League Two clash earlier this month.

Take a look at WUP (Womble Underground Press) if you want to see the true nature of the media darlings. Death threats, misogynistic nonsense, racist abuse. And that’s just from some of their high profile fans. Their backwards message board/forum sums them up (though admittedly the handful on here are very decent folks in comparison - sorry guys I know my approval is like arsenic to you).

MK supporters hate us because we hate them. They've yoyod between the championship and L2. We've had the glory of numerous promotions and regrettable relegation.

You stick to embarrassing yourself in the Championship soft lad.

Now that's what I like to see on this thread folks arguing about home attendances.

Actually, in my case this isn't strictly true. I hate their club, not them although I've no wish to communicate with them.

Away fans and a few tickets offers I think. Christmas obviously brings its own financial struggles as well, especially with our super pricey tickets for the level.

Just clocked you are charging us £26 next month. Tad excessive

Port Vale like ourselves show attendances as bums on seats and not tickets sold like all the rest do so their actual attendances will be higher than shown.
