Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[The Southbank]

Sold out 3900 for reading.

Great numbers, expecting a good game tomorrow night. Villa will be keen to make amends and we haven't got out of first gear yet by the sounds of it.

Huge game for Bruce. Hopefully we can sneak a win and kickstart our season like we did last year at your place.

 

[Brad-Owl]

£39, £44 on the day.

Fuck that, we only took 800+ last season as well.

Normal prices and we shift about 2k no problem but it makes no difference to Leeds.

Robbing buggers, we only charged QPR fans £36.

 

[blademan89]

3k tickets at sunderland £25
2k at Bolton for a Tuesday night £32 they can fuck right off

 

[villa loyal]

sunderland are always cheap so fair play to them. Disgrace from Bolton although there are far worse in the league. Next Friday we've been allocated 3600 for Bristol city away at £32.

 

[Bobbin']

And 3,600 of you will pay £32, there lies the problem.

£32 is probably the max and anything more is taking the piss but that's me. I stopped doing Chelsea, Man City to name a few because they were around £50. Your right though clubs like villa and Leeds will more often than not sell those allocations, so until the fans stop going they won't learn.

Sold out Burton... 1,714

Decent sig, fair play.

Well I ain't paying £32 for a Tuesday night game at Bolton, not only are Tuesday night games a bit shit as it's never a full day out and can never get the train it's at Bolton to top it off, up there with the most dull places/ grounds on earth.

 

[blademan89]

By the way we are charging barnsley fans £32 this Saturday too which is poor I ain't just pinning this on bolton , many clubs are at fault and it will never ever change.

We are charging Bolton £20 for tonight. Would be good if they reciprocate when we play 'em at their ground but won't count on it.

Don't blame you.

Feel good factor around the blues at the minute. Wish I could say the same about us

Nothing to do with being relegated then?

But yeah, wasn't so much a dig at Villa fans specifically but football supporters in general.

 

[blademan89]

Suppose fans would pay the £50 for man utd, Chelsea etc on a first visit but it would soon wear thin hence the reason clubs like stoke,west Brom, and even man city and Newcastle never took full allocations when it was those prices. To be honest only man utd , Liverpool, arsenal and now Chelsea are guaranteed to sell out whatever allocation at whatever stupid price. However Chelsea and arsenal always put very cheap trains and coaches on to a lot of northern games where as I don't think man utd and liverpool do fuck all they've just got so many fans so know they'll sell out.

It's slowly sinking in believe me
Last time I went City was when we beat them 4-2 in the league cup. Had a week off work and it was £20 a tickets so I thought fuck it. Pissed down all day and night and we had 1k max. Great unexpected win though. Anyways... football is so popular now I can't see it changing unless clubs have it forced upon them to put a cap on ticket costs.

It's no coincidence that are followings at Man City and Chelsea only hit 1500 max over recent seasons and at times the same at united and Liverpool. Our form played a part, but once these clubs started charging 45-50 quid for tickets we stopped turning up.

So would I, it's just not in any way value for money when you're losing most weeks.

Just read Sunderland have sold 2300 for Wednesday tommorrow, great effort at £36 a pop yet still way less then I've ever known them bring to sheffield. They've filled upper and lower at bramall lane every time I think including a league cup 2nd round game , sure they had about 6k at hillsborough last time too.

If they do well their home and away support will pick up, but there is definitely a drop in interest this season from them. They took 900 to bury in the cup and just over 1k to Norwich but in all fairness that Norwich game was a tough journey. You are right though because a few seasons ago they would take 4-5k to Sheffield midweek. For the last few seasons in prem they take the smallest allocation possible, but they have been shit and travel further than most.

Couldn't care what league were in football is all about winning that's why we enjoy going. Losing week in week out year after year and it soon becomes a complete pile of shit.

Yep sold 6k last time and wanted more, was the game when that prick walked in front of North Stand offering everyone out, eventually somebody took the bait and twatted him.
Hope the banning orders was worth it for both of em.
