Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

You'll sell that out. Are you going? The KC is shit.

Yeah I'll be there, dislike the KC as well, just meh. Thankfully there is a train back so should help matters still think we won't sell out.

Brighton on the 8th is another pain in the arse, thankfully my mate in London is putting me up for the neyt.

Long way that. Don't mind the AMEX though - it's easily accessible by train and the away end holds a fair few. I went the first season it opened, I think they've added a tier to one of the side stands since.

Three of our four trips there have been 7.45pm kick offs, a few London based Owls will boost the figures but expect our first sub 1k away following of the season.

The hospitality is great but it's just another new build with fuck all around it.

I would imagine Wednesday will sell that out easily. Sheffield to Hull isn't too far after all and their away support is very good.

Its a bit further than you think, both in Yorkshire but Sheffield is furthest West you can go and Hull is furthest East, Probably a good 60 to 70 miles.

Edit.. Just looked it up and its 67 miles.

That's a home game for most Town fans!

Indeed. We have 1 away game closer than that and that was a bubble!

318 Fulham tonight

Our closest away game is 80 miles...

Youre used to it though always been the same and always will be same. for clubs like plymouth,carlisle etc too thats why you all still travel well cos every game being far away is the norm.

I like the KC, can make some really good noise with that low roof. Cracking acoustics.

Just an excuse for clubs who have to travel a little further than normal really.

It's amazing we take as many away as we do when we have had to pay extortionate home prices for years

Youve always travelled well as have norwich,plymouth,carlisle,sunderland,newcastle,boro all the clubs who travel most distance

even moreso when you factor in the hoof-ball and having done nothing of note for the best part of 14 years

14? Only 14?
Last year was our first title for SIXTY years!

Cough!!

 

[blademan89]

Youre not in that list if thats what you mean

407 Brighton

 

[bfcdan]

Until this morning only 1100 people were eligible to buy tickets...


Yep, 2399 tickets. Burnley are only keeping 500 dingles in there though so possible we could get an extra few.

About the right allocation for you lot. In 2013 we gave you the full 4k and you brought 2,479.

I don't think he's talking to you either

Precisely, our away support is up there with the best in the league, even if the numbers don't always show it

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Aye fair round of fucks to Ipswich....

 

[SF_]

Ipswich should move like Wimbledon did.

 

[Tom_ITFC]

We've had comparisons with them with our style of play..

I know Tom, I was feeling left out.

Jose - We too are going to have an appalling turnout at Brighton away a week on Monday neet.

We might have half a chance if it was ever general sale or POTD but alas no.

Expect 1,200 from Leeds currently (could change if we beat Watford on Sat in Cup. BTW we have 4,100 in that Watford end with a huge amount of segregation netting reducing at least 1500 off that stands capacity- barmy)

2,200 sold for Bolton away on the 12th after going on sale yesterday, decent take up so far but North End supposedly have to pay for the extra stewarding if we need to increase the allocation to the full 5,000 or whatever it is and they haven't indicated whether they will.

Surely thats a load of shite. Bolton could sell another 1200 tickets at £25=£30,000 and only have to appoint another 25 stewards which will cost them about £800

I've seen it mentioned by more than once person but it does seem daft.
