Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2023/24

[Walkley_Owl]

A club taking more fans to wembley than they usually get for a home game? That's never happened before...

It's more that you are boycotting your boycott......

There isn't an official boycott it's just natural progression to lose fans when you're shit and the same people to turn up for a big day out. The only people that call it a boycott are the ones who always need an excuse not to go.

The only time there was a genuine boycott was when we played at sixfields.

 

[Camborne Gills]

I don't much care for followings but I find them interesting. I just didn't get Andy Proctors point about it being a shite following when it's like 400 more than we usually take.

Andy, u ok hun?

I find them interesting to a certain extent, but when some individuals start wanking themselves silly when another team only brought 1150 for example, that is when I get my wig off. Some sides have better away support, it is what it is.

Anyhow, if Argyle don't blow it again this year, any comparison that other teams in this division make, will be totally irrelevant.

Cracking effort again

But all those heading to Wembley, them true fans.....

They are just supporters who have walked away. Not necessarily down to loyalty.

I have family members and friends who are going for the first game in 3/4 years. They haven't been since we had a year at Sixfields. People have given up and moved on, it's no longer worth the money or effort.

We are down to the final 7000, this will decrease to maybe 4000. I for one won't be going to another home game again, until SISU leave.

The trip to Wembley for the majority is a day out, and the final match they go. Which is a shame because the one thing it will show is that there is a big club with a massive potential fan base.

Good post barring your last line as neither is true and never has been.

Okay, we are a sizeable club. A club with a large stint in the top fight and an FA Cup.

In terms of massive potential, you cannot say that isn't true.

We are taking 40,000 to a checkatrade trophy. We are a city of 350,000. We have a bigger potential fan base than most clubs in England.

We all say that, then come back down to our single figure home gates...

There's reasons why our gates are low. There's been reasons spanning 15 years.

Isn't that defined as deliberately running out a slow scorer...?

we have now sold out our 1800 allocation at Oxford on Saturday.

No potd either so plenty missing out. i thought we've had 3k there i the past?

 

[blademan89]

We have current sold 1300 of our increased 1800 allocation at Oxford next Tuesday. Won't be far off selling out I wouldn't of thought.

How come we only got 1100? Fucking yellow shaggers.

 

[womble76]

155 wombles at scunthorpe.

Home end would of been full and 1100 is all they have to give. Would you of even taken many more?

 

[Indian Dan]

You're kidding, right?

 

[blademan89]

You're kidding, right?

You only took 1100 to bristol rovers and didn't sell out at home to oxford. You're having a shocking season aren't you so that's why I asked. I've no idea how quick your 1100 were sold .

Thousands locked outside again?

 

[blademan89]

Initially allocated 3200 at Oldham which basically means we will get some of the opposite stand too I reckon or the side.

Not selling out at home has little correlation with travelling away to our closest rival.

Fair enough I did only ask the question though didn't i. I never said you wouldn't take more

You won't get any of the side. At a push, you may just be given the Rocky Rd End which holds 4500 and our fans will be moved to the Chaddy, however I'd be surprised. The Chaddy holds 3750 I've been told, so that's likely to be enough.

Can't see any point in the initial 3200 then that's all. It will sell out with absolute ease and I'm sure we have already discussed this with Oldham. That sounds more plausible that we will get the old away end. More than we normally take but obvious reasons why.

The only way you'll get the whole RRE is if you sell the initial 3200 in double quick time, and then the remaining 550 just as fast. We will then make a decision depending on whether there's a realistic demand for a further 800 in which case you might get stuck in the home end. We wouldn't let you have the RRE unless we were convinced you'd sell 4500 with no issue whatsoever
