Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[villa loyal]

In other news, blues are struggling to sell out their 1k allocation at Sheffield Wednesday tonight, but in all honestly it's an expensive away day so I don't blame them for watching it in a pub in Solihull instead.

You have to laugh at this Villa lot five months into slumming it with the oi poloi and they're already making concessions to fill away allocations pfff!

We've unsurprisingly only taken the 2200 allocation for Newcastle away a week on Monday. We have knocked £10 off the tickets, so instead of paying £27 fans will be paying £17 which is very good. Sold 1500 so far which is half decent all things considered. Can't see us selling out the 2200 though.

Doubt I'd be bothering

Meaningless match for them , much like yours at Newcastle. May as well just watch it on sky is what the majority will think.

no excuses from me, Infact I think taking over 1500 to Newcastle for a televised midweek game when your season is over is more impressive than taking 5500 to Preston on a Saturday. Would your lot sell out for a 400 mile + round trip midweek game to a ground you've been visiting countless times over the years whilst in poor form?? Would you fuck. before it turns into an argument you have better away support than us so don't think I'm saying we are on par with Leeds.

Villa Loyal: thank you for not comparing your away support to Leeds, you are correct to do so.

For info:
Birmingham given Leeds 2,800 allocation
Fulham too have surprisingly given Leeds the 2,800 and not the 3,900. No idea why this is.

I think everyone agrees that you're away support is by far the best outside the prem and probably only man utd , Liverpool, arsenal, Everton are on the same level but I also think that everyone other than leeds fans think you're home support is fucking wank.

Don't Fulham give that initially to everyone?

It's a football forum I didn't realise you had to support a team in the championship to post something in the championship forum.

You basically proved my point by having a little dig at me because I slagged you're home support off. I'd imagine you'll get over 30k for every remaining home game now but I would of expected that year in year out not that any of it actually matters like.

nah, I might give our European cup win story a bash again.

will they fuck.

They will for all weekend games I reckon, probably not the Tuesday night ones though.

Leeds is an 'away' club.

Home support poor from the city itself. Still if you tot up the gate receipts for home games at ER each season it will piss all over all the other clubs bar Newcastle.

how much do you lot pay for home tickets? Strange that a big iconic club like Leeds draws poor support from the city itself. I've been to the odd Leeds game with a couple of my mates and you have fans from all over England there.

Yes it probably will because the average you get is only just less than the better supported clubs in the division and you charge more. It's not like you average 10k a week less and still make more money. But clubs like Brighton,Norwich,Derby,Wednesday have had higher average attendances than you over the years and you are twice the size club than any of them. You've had plenty of sub 20k crowds over the years too which I wouldn't expect of a club with the amount of fans you have.

Substantially higher receipts, swathes of % higher.

There has been a hang-over in the city about consistently high prices for many years which puts many off.

Hard to put your finger on it generally, can't but agree with you.

Like I say, Leeds is an is an 'away' club.

Just make sure you don't lose to Wednesday in the playoffs

 

[Another Walkley Owl]

doubt it. I think it hits general sale this weekend so I can't see many getting sold by people that hardly go away from home. If we win our next two games it might come close but that's a big if.

Will it be more or less coaches, than you took to Birmingham?

Think Geordies may disagree about away support, but yes most others would agree, consistently top number's, would also agree about with you about the home support too.

definitely less.

It is cos Scratching Shed is a full weight bellend.

In other news we've shifted over 1,600 for Leeds, our cowards have found a back bone.

I wouldn't bother conversing, he's signed up purely to talk attendances, never mentions his football team for owt else.
