Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

No trains, daft kick off, potentially on Sky. We won’t.

No trains back, well that will make it more difficult, the trains in this country are a bloody joke.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

You hope Boro make it you mean, and Derby have not choked it at all, no Ram expected us to be in the play offs this season anyway, it will go down to the wire, at least we are involved in a exciting end of to a season battle, and Wednesday win the best chants of all time again, wish we could make up such great songs and bounce like Tango.

I'm thinking more when you lost 3-0 at home to Reading when you'd all but guaranteed the last PO spot going into the game, you've achieved nowt as it stands, if you want to stick finishing sixth in the 2nd tier on an honours board then go ahead chuckles....

I don’t know why your fans don’t expect playoffs. Perhaps because your manager is experienced, but Bogle, Tomori, Malone, Huddlestone, Mount, Wilson, Marriott etc all walk into most sides in this league. Added to that you’ve got a squad of about 40 players, hardly exaggerating either.

I think Boro will do it though anyway.

 

[villa loyal]

Tango is from the West Mids and I believe was a Wolves fan at one point .

Derby1971 do you know Big Nick? Can be found in the Widow on matchdays?

It's not on sky. Derby v west Brom is.

3 games shown on the final day usually.

Big bald headed bloke in his 50s, Derby through and through use to se him at most away games.

Yeah, that's the fella, top bloke.

I always thought 2 games but definitely only derby v west Brom on this season. I think you might just sneak top 6 , I hope you do actually.

I agree Boro will deffo win, so we must get the win at least and that will not be easy, that's the problem at Derby our squad is to big, with a lot of players we want to get ridd off, but at least now we see a manager who is trying to play the right way, and also gives youth a chance.

 

[Derby1971]

Yes a very likeable bloke, and well known by lots of Rams fans. Been going ever since I can remember. And the widows is a good ale pub as well, use to go in there before most away games, before catching the train.

Helped him out a long time ago after coming back from Brentford and been mates since, always nip in and see him if we are on the way to or from the Midlands games or at Derby.

Why’s that, just not a fan of the other two clubs?

Both big spenders and Bristol city haven't been in the prem so summat different. Really dont want villa to go up, gonna end up in financial disaster for them if they dont go up and rightly so. Cant see Leeds going up, they've more than proved they cant handle pressure games although they are the best team.

 

[Gerry Gow]

Still undecided about making the Hull trip on Sunday.

If I did go it’ll be a pissed up decision on the Saturday night.

Same here.

 

[villa loyal]

Our game now sold out. Never made general sale which was next week.

 

[Derby1971]

Same here.

If you do go, some great boozers to drink in, and Hull is as cheap as chips. Been a few time with the Rams and always had a good day out. Get yourself down there mate.

New ground is shit pal, walking through before or after is fun, old town is lovely, head down, manners and they'll get you a cab at 7

 

[Derby1971]

I agree, drank in old town many times, I know a few lads who are Hull the old ground was much more fun like most, the baseball ground was great, pp is average at best, use to love the old terrace humour

 

[villa loyal]

Been to their old and new ground. Was surprised how big the place was when I first went to Hull.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Old ground was like Bolton with the supermarket tagged on, was it safe way or kwiksave at Bolton?

Hmm

Hmm

There was a supermarket tagged on to the away terrace

Went up last season mate, we were 2-0 down after 70. Won 3-2 with the last kick of the game, hell of a day.

It was very much like Burnden Park. I think it was a Safeway.

IT was a kwiksave, and yes the away terrace was next to it, use to get quite lively in the day, but yes Hull is a big city, with plenty of decent pubs. And the locals can be quite entertaining.

 

[villa loyal]

The old ground was a rough place to go.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Only went once, for a pre season friendly in 2001ish
