Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2024/25

[GTFCfish]

That's a pretty good boycott for a club averaging 19k. People are always gonna go I don't think we could get much less it would be nice if we could of got a sub 1k crowd. If results stay the same at least were out.

How many do you expect to bring to us in the final game?
We got a wonderfully low 607 against Leicester U23's which is our lowest ever attendance and it would be great to go even lower for this game as we are both out and it is meaningless, but as you sold out the meaningless pre season friendly then unfortunately I expect you will still bring a few here?

Not sure last few years in the jpt weve took 300 odd to places like hartlepool and walsall so I'm hoping a lot lot lower than that be good to only be in double figures

531 jubilant Dons at the Kassam to witness our 1st victory in 13 attempts v Oxford.

 

[Posh Red]

190 Bury @ Peterboro
282 Shrewsbury @ Bradford
127 Oldham @ Gillingham
292 Port Vale @MK

No official figure for Bolton at the CG, but I'd say around 700

 

[MJA]

I'm amazed there were that many Vale fans at MK, fair play to each and every one of them

Looking forward to Bolton beer festival before the match this coming weekend.

How are you doing for ticket sales at the moment?

How are you doing for ticket sales at the moment?

Just approaching 1000 now. General form and steep ticket prices will stop this from being a 2000-3000 following IMO. Will be surprised if it gets much beyond 1500, which will be disappointing.

 

[Muzzle]

£26 isn't cheap either, shame as if we reduced the ticket price you'd bring a fair few

 

[Camborne Gills]

26 notes? Perhaps it's a good job our game is a Monday now.

 

[LancashireTrotters]

26 notes? Perhaps it's a good job our game is a Monday now.

Your game will probably be £15.

It was £30 for us there the robbing twats

 

[Hurrikeen]

Do we have a table for these so far? Wanna see how shit ours fares compared to previous years.

You are massive though.

 

[blademan89]

Haha course we are

 

[Hurrikeen]

Was it not reduced to £28 a few weeks before hand?

 

[blademan89]

Was it not reduced to £28 a few weeks before hand?

Was £30 upper tier £28 lower tier

 

[Muzzle]

We tried to do a reciprocal deal with Sheff Utd and they declined, so we charged them the full wack

 

[joethegill]

I don't think it'd make a difference if it was £5 or £30 for ours really, it'll be the same lot that go regardless of cost now it's on the monday. Maybe 150 at a push.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Had this one in mind until the change of date

 

[blademan89]

370 left of our allocation of 2722 at Bradford all be gone by today or 1st thing on general sale in the morning.

 

[T.A]

Bolton have sold around 1700 tickets for our game and is now on general sale which will be for the next 8 days.

 

[UTS]

Bolton will sell that easily I imagine.

One wonders why the allocation has increased, given we're currently erecting a big screen in the corner.

It's usually been circa 2,500 for Away support. Be good to see a decent following for a change - -'s should ensure a crowd of 21k-22k!

Don't know just going off what it says on our site. 270 of them are restricted view so maybe they don't get released unless there's enough demand. I'd imagine it will be nearly full in the home end too , not bad for 3rd tier football

That doesn't make any sense because our prices are relatively low anyway so it's to our benefit to charge away fans what they charge us. I suppose our club told Bolton we don't do deals and have set prices for the new season as below.

£20 for category B. Which is most matches.
£25 for category A which is mainly local derbies.

So as our max could only ever be £25 this season then surely Bolton should have charged us £25.

 

[Shrimpurh]

Why has this thread been unpinned?

 

[blademan89]

Bradford now sold out. 5 sell outs out of 7 away games. Some would say our fans think we might do ok this year.

Our away support has always been fickle but potentially impressive.

It's a solid away hardcore of 1,000, which is poor considering we have a hardcore home support of 17 or 18,000.

But when we any sniff of success it quickly goes up to a 3,000 demand. Noticed towards the end of this season that our last 4 away games all have fair sized Away ends.

Oldham
Northampton
Port Vale and
MK Dons

If we're up there challenging for top 2 at the end of the season we'll have a 5,000 demand for those matches with the last match at Milton Keynes having easily over a 10,000 demand.

That game could be interesting because if the MK stadium holds 30,000 then would they give us half the stadium?

I seriously believe we could potentially sell close to 15,000 for that game, which I imagine would be some sort of record for an Away following.
