Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2024/25

[F!RTHY]

Bradford fans stood up are you sure? They take good numbers but i swear they are quieter and more boring than us and 95% of them sit down too

Our away support is shite vocally at times - we weren't too bad yesterday, but 90% did sit down. Boils my piss.

Latest table. Still quite a few missing so if anyone can help with any of them I'd be eternally grateful (and will post a mildly amusing gif displaying my gratitude).

 

[Posh Red]

It was a trust initiative as its a localish (88 miles) away game. The aim was for 5k which was never going to happen but hopefully if some of the 'new' fans that went today keep going it's all good.

Apparently it was a good atmosphere in the away end as well today so good work those that travelled.

Also helps that it was about as local a Saturday game that we have had all season

Estimate 250 - 300 Gillingham at Scunny from a Gillingham fan at work who went to it.

Happy with our averages given the travel. Still have Gillingham and Colchester to visit which should raise it some (more than trips to Bradford and Bury will dent it anyway).

 

[joethegill]

Ours isn't too bad really, but we do still have a tuesday at Rochdale and a bank holiday at Bury to 'look forward to' to muck up our average. We might take a few to Sheff Utd (maybe about 7/800), and Burton last away game (filled the allocation last time we played them), depending on situation.

6th.

What an effort when you consider the shite served up this season.

Can't see it improving much though so we may drop a position.

Barnsley is now midweek, so what would have been 1000+ wont be.
Burton is now on tele, so what would have been 1000+ wont be.
Fleetwood will sell out, so 1200+ (I think)
Southend - lucky to get 150 as it's midweek.
Millwall - last away day, so may take 750 if we're safe. If a lot depends on it, could be 1000+.

We've been given a pathetic allocation by Burton 1350 and will be given no more. Tickets go on sale tomorrow, very petty from Burton, given this season they've given over 2000 away tickets out. Hopefully give us a bit of extra motivation.

 

[Jamo]

We've been given 1,350 standing and 365 seating. Don't know if we'll get any more, don't know if we'd need them unless we're still in contention for the top 6.

It's a Tuesday night don't forget. May put some off going

I love it when clubs are given 'pathetic allocations' but it always exceeds their average.....

It's more than 20% of their capacity isn't it? What would the same amount of tickets, percentage-wise, be at your place?

6000 - considering we give 4800 its not to bad really is it. Oh and the 4800 is given to everybody, not reduced for some.

1200-1300 to Swindon tomorrow, 1540 sold out at Shrewsbury and sell out what ever Blackpool and the Lancashire police decide to give us only leaves Burton & Doncaster. With Burton champions and us bidding for second place, the following would have been 1800 if allowed but why not take every advantage as you take another step to lifting the title. Pissed off Burton have won the league but fair play, hope you manage to stay up next season.

We have had a shade over 2k there officially before. 1350 isn't even the capacity of the terrace I don't think.

 

[Shrimpurh]

Loooooool

 

[Hurrikeen]

I love it when clubs hate our club as we won the FA Cup and continue to show how the away attendance myth with Wigan is nothing but.

When the poster mentions a pathetic allocation, it is clearly referring to the higher allocations given elsewhere. It is like Shrewsbury next week only giving 1540 which were sold straight away. Another 750 would have been ideal there which exceed the average. When you look at an average, look at low followings to far out places like Gillingham, Millwall & Peterborough on a Tuesday night etc then look at the followings to Walsall & Coventry which where 2000 & 1800 respectively and the are similar distances. Oh and its likely to be 1st v 2nd so 1350 is a low allocation. 1800 would have been more like which is similar to the allocation given to Barnsley. Burton hardly need the extra seats do they with their home following.

Now crawl back into your scruffy council flat and sing about hating Sheff United whilst your sister bathes you. Silly love muffin .

Have you OD'd on the spinach this morning?

nobody in this league would take 1300 fans on friday going 3 hour drive no chance

It's not. It's 1600 so not sure where 1350 has come from.

Don't waste your time getting pissed off about us winning the league, as j just point out we have won fuck all.
And the following will be 1800 permitted - every other club is given that apart from when we have the family day and we have the away terrace - like the Fleetwood game.

i admire Burton for what they are doing..to lose jimmy and lose prob there best player and maintain what they are doing fair play

In your position, this close to the end of the season I can think of quite a few that would take 1300. Even we took 1400 to Bournemouth in 2010, and that was when we were going for the play offs, not automatic. It's good, but nothing get all billy big bollocks about.

but if port vale did it.....be fantastic haha..concentrate on mid table pal

 

[mozzavale]

If we were going for automatic promotion, like you, given our size it would be really good. But I wouldn't come on here saying that no one else would manage it. You do realise that we're in the same league as Sheff Utd, Coventry, Barnsley and Bradford don't you? Plus a few more who'd take just as much if they were going for automatic? Just makes you look a bit of a ballbag that's all. I'm off to concentrate on mid table now, hurt me that one did.

The fact the club are laying on free coaches to Swindon helps as well.
Fair play to the club for doing it but it must have a big impact on the numbers going as travel costs are normally far greater than the cost of the match ticket.

Thats the info from the club that 1350 is the ONLY allocation.

 

[mozzavale]

What's happening in Wigan today, they're an angry bunch aren't they.

Not with Port Vale, we like to dislike Port Vale up here. Proper club.

If Natdan and Mudhuts aren't the same person then it's pretty damning for Wigan as they're both mongy as fuck.
