Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[GTFCfish]

130 MK Dons fans in a crowd of 2,150 at Fleetwood.

Given as MK are the biggest club in both this league and the league above I’m guessing you’ve missed a 0 off the end of that figure?

It’s a 400 mile round trip on a Tuesday night in winter, I’m shocked we didn’t take two thousand.

I just had a skim on here . I think attendances being down a bit must be related to sky/the pricing .

It's mad a lot of matchday prices are £25+ ; i wonder whether many clubs will get over and above than their ST holders from next season unless doing really well . It seems a kick in the nuts that they got a shiny new TV deal , with more inconvenience for the fans (and probably more games they can't attend ) yet prices will continue to rise no doubt I wonder when £30 + will be regular matchday price ?

I totally agree that attendances will be down, especially for the midweek games on Sky and the ridiculous 12.30 kick offs, where I suspect viewing figures are poor.

I understand the concerns over pricing but most clubs, especially at League two level, will make a loss and virtually everyone is reliant upon benefactors. As fans, we often clamour for our team to spend big, chase that elusive striker etc but in reality it is down to the owners getting their cash out. Some have invested in shares but many others are just loans propping up huge losses.

Until wages/ costs get under control ( they never will imo) fans will be asked to pay more to try and reduce those losses very slightly. It’s an awful business, shame, in many ways, it isn’t just a sport

At least Bromley is £20 just got my ticket in the homer , thats not too bad now, fair play to Bromley . Is that about the cheapest in the league ?

That's correct, I'd say the second biggest team behind MK are Birmingham and they would've taken that easily so you should easily be taking that too.

Yeah, but they’re an hour further north. Explains the difference.

P.S. stop being bitter about the 2008 JPT final. You lost, get over it.

Best PA system in the league, you’ll never sing that!

Good effort that, that is some journey from the North West to South East

There is no boycott.

No, surprisingly not. Plenty of your fans apparently buying food and drinks from our concourse concessions. Think that boycott / ignore us ship has firmly sailed over the last 2-3 years (it’s coincided with you doing better against us in these fixtures, funny that…).

Not that there ever was a boycott. Game 1 at Stadium:MK you brought over 3,000. Actions, words, and all that.

 

[Pie and chips]

9,947 at meadow Lane with 350 Bromley fans in attendance

 

[Meadow]

There is no boycott.

Indeed. Some choose to go, some don't. Nothing official.

To be fair, our away supporters facilities aren’t great, hence the current development of our East terrace. It’ll be much better next season (assuming we survive this season in the EFL). Ticket prices reflect this.

Anywhere good to drink in that area pal?

 

[AlanPep]

Assuming you’re coming in by train, The Richmal Crompton (Wetherspoons) is virtual opposite Bromley South Station, cheapest pint around. As you walk towards Hayes Lane, you pass The Bricklayers Arms a decent Shepherd Neame pub with proper Kentish Ale

 

[AlanPep]

You can get a drink in our Broomfields bar if you happen to be at the home end

 

[Si Robin]

128 Salford fans at Cheltenham yesterday

In town so not near the ground but the Star and Garter is a great pub if you like a craft beer, that's where I'll head for a few pre-match pints.
