Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[SuffolkBlue]

Pretty much sold out 1600 at Brentford tonight. Small allocation but I doubt many would sell it in our position

Plenty would

 

[JJH]

The 90, he's alreyt for a Leeds fan, Kev's in the 5426 though.

Kev at a Leeds game? Fat chance mate.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

Plenty would

Your telling me that over half this division, bottom of the league all but down, over 2 hour trip into London during rush hour on a Wednesday night would take 1600? Especially when there’s an option to watch at home!

Derby and Boro took less last night for a similar journey time and West Brom took the same to a small journey.

But yeah, plenty would

 

[Jamo]

It's obviously one of your closer games but still a great effort. Ipswichs support seems to be better this season than previous, despite Sky showing games and you being absolutely shite.

Good going that, think some would, would have been a much more accurate reply.
I remember when our neighbours went down (and they're generally well supported, though fickle) they averaged less than 1k, so taking 1600 midweek when realistically already relegated is very good imo.

 

[villa loyal]

3500 Bolton now sold out. No more being allocated. Sold out on 6+ aways. Probably could have sold that again with it being good Friday.

 

[villa loyal]

That Ipswich following is very good.

 

[Brad-Owl]

Don’t think Forest have sold their 2k allocation at Hillsborough tonight. POTG avaliable.

Probably nearer 1,500 than 2k.

Had cheek to sing "Your grounds to big for you, when they're in an away end that holds nearly 5,000.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Especially given that until this season they were getting about 20k

 

[Derby1971]

Pretty wank considering your location and home gate.

Agree the numbers last night was not good, but overall, I think we have averaged about 1850, for the season so not to bad, considering our away form has been poor, we are a bit up and down like most clubs in this division, said it before and I will say it again only Leeds, Villa and Wednesday have very good away support in what ever position they are in, Leeds and Wefnesday have been poor at this level, but fair play to both they always turn up, hate Leeds as well, but the facts and figures speak for themselves.

 

[villa loyal]

All three clubs mentioned are prone to the odd poor show. Us at Norwich this season for example.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

Sounds like they’re having a party down at Brentford

 

[villa loyal]

2588 Villa
3247 Blades

You’ve got the least amount of miles to travel in the entire division, it’s absolutely nowt to brag about.

He says last night was not good and over the season not too bad.
Doesn't really sound like bragging to me, more like a fair assessment.

 

[Derby1971]

You’ve got the least amount of miles to travel in the entire division, it’s absolutely nowt to brag about.

We are about the same as all midland clubs and South Yorkshire clubs on travel, and as I have said our away support is about average, you are a massive city with 2 small teams, add yours and Rovers attendances together and we still have bigger home support than yourselves, and you are in the top 6, but still have shit away support, I think as away numbers go you are in the bottom 12 as always. And Derby as a average away following are in the top 8 as always.

 

[JJH]

Derby 18/19 average - 26,645
Bristol City 18/19 average - 20,760
Bristol Rovers 18/19 average - 8,293

20,760+8,293=29,053.

Don't become a mathematician, mate.

 

[SuffolkBlue]

1653 ipswich last night I think. One of the best aways of the season. Will miss griffin park

Something to consider

Bristol population 535,907 (2011)
Derby population 265,394 (2011)

Constant noise last night.

What about it? The dispute wasn't about the population of Derby or Bristol, it was about the attendances both Bristol clubs get through the gates on average combined compared with Derby.

 

[JJH]

Allocated just over 1,000 initially for Millwall away which have gone on sale to STHs this morning.

Been told we can't have the lower tier which is a shame.

If we need something we obviously will.

Not much difference then, when you consider that Bristol is twice the size of Derby.

Get your facts right if you’re going to start throwing shade though.

Midweek too, very doubtful

 

[JJH]

Midweek too, very doubtful

If we need something from the game there’s absolutely no doubt we’ll sell it out. We had circa 1,900 at Fulham in midweek in September/October last year. Over half the allocation gone already.

That's Fulham, you've had more than 2.2k at Fulham too, have you sold out at wall in recent years

Reyt derby are wank, Brizzle aren't much better
