Non-League Away Support 2015/16

[GTFCfish]

315 Wrexham at Blundell Park.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Few more than I thought.

Took some 5/6 hours to get over there apparently with some missing the game.

Decent effort. I was also pleasantly surprised by well over 5k home fans when on TV.

Est 200 Barrow at Chester, with some really peculiar goings on amongst them as well.

Well you were in Wales and as the saying goes: 'When in Rome...'

I guessed at 250, very good numbers to be fair. Shame they let themselves down by disrupting the minutes silence and singing ultra like songs.

Would have been a few more had a coach load not been turned away 5 miles from the ground.

 

[Josh Butler]

477 Chorley at FCUM (4,150)
40 Brackley at Boston (1,302)
Other notable effort from Stockport (est 5-600 out of 926 at Ferriby) and Birmingham City at Worcester (est. 300 out of 828)

They've dropped a long way, last time I checked they were in the Championship....

Actually I think the away fans are in England.

You sure? No-one seems quite sure where exactly the border cuts through.

According to Google maps, the whole ground is in Wales....

Yeh,atleast when they borrowed Macc Town's ground they were still in England.
The whole Chester situation with the ground has been an absolute balls
-up.
To be fair though it seems the front windows of the club offices are actually in England but if you were inside those offices and went for a piss you'd have crossed over into Wales.

 

[Bluandwite]

I remember looking at an ordnance survey map some time ago showing the border running roughly diagonally across the pitch from corner flag to corner flag. So I’ve always considered it just that.

At the very least the offices are in England.

Terrible situation though.The entire ground...pitch,stands,khazi's,etc should be in England.Which clown at your (ex) club rubber-stamped the project?

 

[Davidimp]

Thought they built the ground like that so they could play in the Welsh FA Cup and then qualify to play in Europe if they won it before they changed the rules?

If they did purposefully build it there on purpose for those reasons I don't know but it's a wank situation regardless.
How their fans must wish they'd remained at Sealand Road,which had a decent main stand,a sizeable open kop,and a sexy set of floodlight pylons.

The Deva stadium is hardly in the middle of the Rhondda valley. It's just a little bit further down the same road as the old ground.

But it's in Wales,not Chester.
That's the problem.

 

[White Army]

797 Tranmere at kidderminster

Why is that a problem? Part of the ground is in the administrative area of Flintshire, a Welsh unitary authority. Part of the site lies in Cheshire. An English authority. The ground is owned by Cheshire. There is no way to get to the rest of Flintshire without going back into Cheshire. One stroke of a cartographers pen and it's back in England. Unless you are a complete moron it's a non issue. Fun to bring up to poke gentle fun at Chester fans but completely insignificant otherwise.

I don't know the details of the sale of Sealand road but given what was built on the site you'd expect the club to have come out of the whole affair pretty well off. The fact that never happened and 25 years later the club actually dissolved is probably more annoying to Chester fans.

 

[Southern Shayman]

232 Halifax at Barrow

 

[Son of Cod]

982 Mariners at Macclesfield.

 

[F Side Rat]

82 Braintree in a very low Easter Monday crowd of 1,539.
I'll be honest, I'm starting to worry about the club now

 

[Luke Imp]

37 Gateshead.

Fuckin' 'ell...I don't suppose they bothered infiltrating the Railway End then.

It's just symbolically wrong.They're playing their home games not in the city of their name...but on Welsh soil.
It ain't right.They need to find another site...in Chester this time,to build a decent ground.

I'm not obsessed with borders and even if I was how exactly would that make me ignorant,Monkey boy?

Didn't say that that makes you ignorant - said your general ignorance contributes to your all-round twatishness. And twats and racism go hand in hand.
G'night.
