Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2024/25

[Conker]

I don’t get sitting in the home ends for a league game, not enjoyable and good chance you get a smack if you forget.

I agree its a disappointing allocation, rules state 10% minimum but also that you have to give some under cover, 'cos of the configuration of Edgeley Park in its current state it's not easy to do both whilst also squeezing as many home fans in as possible (crowds are the highest in generations). Hopefully planning permission for the new stand will happen any day

Then Stockport should take a hit.......Regulations say 10% and that is what you should have allocated.
Now there is every chance of away supporters being in the home end

 

[Conker]

I see Bolton are making a fuss of this and you know what I think that’s fair play, obv dispensation of some sort is obviously been given to Stockport but quite frankly it’s not good enough.

The 960 we had last season was poor, to find out it’s been reduced even more is a piss take, the away allocation has almost halved in two seasons.

what annoys me is we are not allowed to share our North Stand even when Stevenage bring 200 in a 1800 seater yet Stockport can throw 800 in a side stand shared with home fans.

Every game i've seen you at home, fans are dressed as seats?

I think the thought process is that if Bolton, Wrexham or Mansfield fans go in the home end our supporters will police them.

The problem will be Birmingham City. I've seen Green Street, they looked hard as fuck.

Last season there were quite a few Stags fans in the railway end, some managed not to jump up and celebrate DKD goal, somehow.

Anybody who goes in the Railway End for 90 minutes deserves to be able to cheer their teams' goal, whoever they support.

Worst stand in the league by a mile, I wouldn't sit in it from November-March.

Can't wait to get it sorted, I've said it loads of times on here, it's a massive problem and reduces our attendance potential.

2024 and we've got a stand without a roof, you won't find me defending the indefensible, lads.

Though not league related mansfield have sold 1700 cod

Unfortunately we’ve got a moronic SAG that won’t allow anything like that again. Whereas i appreciate i haven’t anything to back it up, you’d imagine there’s at least an equal chance of bother at stockport as at mansfield so it is a shame they can and we can’t.

What’s frustrating is that stand behind the goal rarely looks anything close to full with home fans but of course we’re stuck with only 3 sides while they dither over the bishop st stand

Think of how bad our attendance potential is currently being hit by missing a stand, and even when that’s done it’s only going to add around 1500.

The real capacity increase for us will be filling in the corners, but got to sort the eyesore first.

Personally i’d have filled in the corner between the IG and QLE before fucking around with the Bs

You at least made me laugh

Absolutely not, a ground is suppose to be four sided, sort that out then you can think about the corners.

Club going about it in the right direction, the hospitality aspect above is a added bonus - I dunno why they cannot extend the stand the other way too, I know it tapers off but so does Tranmeres.

I’m not saying i’m not happy we’re doing the bishop up, i just reckon they’d have got the corner done faster and increased the capacity which is what we’re after. For me it would’ve been capacity over having 4 sides.

It’s disappointing the amount of time it’s going to take to just increase the capacity by 1500, still being hamstrung by bloody haslam.
