Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2024/25

[GTFCfish]

So we took more to Salford on a Tuesday night (242 miles) than Salford took to the League leaders Walsall (83 miles) on a Saturday!

That’s not the greatest benchmark mate.

Ha ha ha, I think I’m right in saying only us, Harrogate and Salford in the current Division 2 have only ever played Non League and Division 2 football (I think everyone else has played higher), so I think it’s a reasonable comparison given Salford are currently best of this bunch. However, I have no wish to be tinpot in any way ha ha ha

 

[FiRTHYY]

To be honest I’ve heard a lot of people say Bradford fans are massive, although there’s usually another word added on at the end.

1042 according to Twitter my friend. If we don’t get it right the Bradford fans will start panicking.

[Meadow]

324 Dons at Accy.

 

[dedwardp]

453 Walsall at Colchester.

 

[kieran_vale]

549 Vale at Swindon. Total crowd 7606.

 

[Pie and chips]

9,909 at meadow Lane with 239 from Morecambe

Nearly a five figure crowd when Morecambe are the opponents in League Two in February is simply fantastic.

I blame the weird bros, takes far longer to get out the car park by the Stadium nowadays.

 

[クレイグ]

17,126 with 496 from Harrogate.

 

[Scum.]

596 Bromley fans in a crowd of 6,972 at Stadium:MK.

 

[Limerick Mariner]

Feck me, what is going on, a second distinctly non-tinpot following in a week. It's taken your hosts about 20 years to get to that level of away support.

 

[Limerick Mariner]

An excellent 551 from Carlisle at BP. A
rare event for us to be beaten in the head to head on away numbers...

I mean, Bromley to Milton Keynes is hardly far. Even we sold out their 500ish away end in a few days, so unsurprised to see them bring just under 600 here especially as it’s their first time visiting so a new stadium.

 

[Boz]

Think 841 SWA at Salford

I’m not having this, we need to come up with some sort of excuse.

I don't get how we are 1k + short of home fans on this time last year - we are doing loads better but there seems less interest from the fans , it's weird .

The home attendance was even quite a bit short of ST holders , we might end up averaging 5.5k this season unless they pick up which must be a concern seeing as we averaged about 7k through the back end of last season .

Bromley got a decent chance of establishing themselves like a Stevenage or Burton, much better supported home and away than a lot of clubs who come up.

We've always had the fans rally near the end of the season if we need points to be safe. Mid-table mediocrity and they always drift away, even when they've already bought STs it seems and we've already covered the Sky issue on midweek games. Of course, we are still in with a shout of the play-offs but anyone who was at or watched the Gills game on Sky wouldn't believe we had any hope of being anywhere near that at the end of the season.

Artellball plan B may change that if we stick to it and can keep Rose and Obikwu fit. A pasting at Donny will kill that off though.

Bit of an odd one this - we'd sold 552 in advance, and there were definitely a few POTD. Must have been a good few no-shows.

Barrow and Harrogate tickets on sale to ST holders tomorrow, can't see either making it to general sale. Can't say I'm looking forward to Barra getting their first win over us in league football in my lifetime.

I'm struggling I must admit. I didn't go to Carlisle because I went to a dancing class instead...

As Viking Magpie will advise - there is a chronic no show affliction at Blundell Park...

 

[Crewelad87]

275 Newport at Crewe.

And I planned on going and I drove with 200 of my mates in my car giant bus but it broke down so there would’ve been another 201 of us there.
Don’t know how many we took there but if an extra 201 still makes ours lower than theirs then it was actually 301 people I’ve just remembered.

Pep couldn't manage us to a win against you.
