Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[villa loyal]

2200 sold for Preston. If our next two games go well I think we will sell our 3k allocation.

I think so, Villa are a big draw in this league, there weren't many that didn't sell it out on a Saturday last year.

yes but already away figures at our ground are down. Teams will sell out less at our place now as the first season novelty has gone. Forest sold out last season on a Sunday at 12 on tv. This season they were 5-600 from selling out.

I agree some will drop off, but we took 2.5k to Brum for a midweek game, Villa 2.8k Saturday was always going to be a sell out.

Weren't on about your support dropping off. Most will though.

Preston fans were quite good to be fair, heard them a lot throughout the game.

Any reason they brought that many? Seems unusually high for them

Free coaches would have helped, probably took us up from about 800-900 otherwise.

Charging nearly half the price Leeds do made a difference (£22 v £40)

Also helps that it was our first trip to Bramall Lane in six (?) years.

Good numbers from Hull Tigers considering they'd not won away for 25 games, which obviously they did after visiting us

 

[villa loyal]

2300 sold for Preston next Wednesday. Should sell out our 3k allocation.

I thought they were the best fans to visit from the games I've made this season with regards to noise. Was a terrible game but they were in pretty good voice throughout. Particularly enjoyed the "we all love Sluts" chant.

How much are them lot charging you on saturday?

3,100 Wednesday fans witnessing another dismal away display, although it was ruined after 4 minutes.

Dismal is a bit harsh, very spirited performance with players giving there all I'd say, considering we had 10 men for almost all game I came away a bit more optimistic than previous Saturday.

Thought our support was magnificent spoiled a little by a few idiots having an heated argument about who sits where.

 

[Craig]

How much are them lot charging you on saturday?

£36

 

[blademan89]

Fuck me, saying that we charged you £32 ffs.

We'll be charging the same for the return fixtures to be fair plus travel is peanuts. Was happy to pay it personally but won't be able to make it now so hoping to get to Burton on Tuesday instead.

Said all year I won't pay the price at leeds but ended up buying one.

Do you know how many you have sold?

Dunno mate. It's not sold out though.

 

[JJH]

20,000+ guaranteed in at ours tonight for a midweek cup game against a side we've played regularly over the years. Having a stadium fit for the city we live in has done wonders for our home gates.

 

[Jamo]

Do you know how many you have sold?

Around 1600 as of yesterday. I'd rather we'd sold 0. Will be perceived as poor support but won't be anywhere near few enough to make the owners think "hang on, no fuckers come and they're only up the road, maybe we should lower our prices".

In all honesty if money was no object I'd be going, even if we are guaranteed to lose as usual. Instead though, I'm more than happy to sack it off and pay 20 quid at Burton on Tuesday

 

[blademan89]

Sold out barring 30 tickets for qpr next tuesday 1686 tickets. Club Not sure if we are receiving any lower tier tickets on top yet.
