Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[villa loyal]

1700 sold for Norwich on Saturday, thought we'd have sold out but at £35 I suppose a few will think fuck em. We took around 1800 last year in a less important game when it was £25. No trains again too this week.

Good following that.

There's plenty of trains, both Sheffield to Nottm then Nottm to Norwich.

No their isn't. No trains running at all between Peterborough and Norwich, all bus replacements.

That's a decent following to Norwich mate, Derby have 200 tickets left for Accrington away this Saturday out of 2500, on sale to season tickets holders tomorrow so will be a sell out, who saids the FA cup has lost its magic, great following from Wednesday as well, taking 6000 to Chelsea.

My apologies. You're right. Bloody trains.

Same for us on Saturday. Train to Stoke, change for a train to Manchester, then 80 mins on bus to Accrington. Or replacement buses via Preston and Blackburn.

Nowt doing via Leeds either.

Trains around Manchester are fucked, I’ve not had a look at the train prices for Blackburn in a couple of weeks but if there’s no trains from Manc I’m really not sure I can be arsed with it.

Yeah well Northern Rail are a bunch of fucking c***. There’s been no trains on a Saturday since November at least, maybe longer. Absolute piss take.

40 odd Saturdays in a row I think. Caused us problems getting to Hull in August. One train there and back every two hours or so.

Add all the engineering works betwéen Manchester and Preston as well and that means Boltonhas been impossible for about three years.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

We've had the same issues but never struggled to get to Bolton .....

2 of your last 3 trips to Bolton were Tuesday nights anyway so trains weren’t an option.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

League games two of the last three were Saturday, I don't tend to count midweek cup games as the norm.

 

[SMH]

Think we’ve sold around 1200 odd for Forest this weekend (cheap tickets).

 

[villa loyal]

Coming back on Saturday me and my lad got train back from Witton to Walsall then the train from Walsall back to town was cancelled. Had to get on replacement buses which gave us a guided tour of Walsall before slowly making its way back. 2 hours 30 mins to get back from an home game. Absolute joke this country is.

Initial 1,505 sold out for Ipswich, additional allocation (whatever that is) and a few restricted view tickets left.

Very impressive

Swansea asked for more tickets than the 3,500ish we've given them but they won't remove the netting on the front rows. Looking at a gate of 24,000+.

Rotherham fans being fleeced for £33 at our place.

Is 3,500 the most you are giving away teams this season??

Didn't we get 4,200 last season? I notice the netting has increased a fair bit since.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

You didn't get 4.2k last year

 

[villa loyal]

3700 was max but it’s 3400+ now .

We're giving 2,700 to some and 3,600 to others which is up to the club but anything over that the police won't allow. I imagine we'll give you the same as last year which will probably be a free for all given that's what you seem to be doing this year with allocations over 3k.

 

[Derby1971]

Derby now sold out for FA cup game at Accrington, total number 2691.

 

[Derby1971]

Lifted from @EFLStats - Average away attendances after 28 games:

1. Leeds United 3,242
2. Aston Villa 2,892
3. Sheffield Wednesday 2,394
4. Stoke City 2,064
5. Nottingham Forest 2,020

Just worked out Derby away attendances according to figures from our Twitter pages and its 2023, it could be wrong, but if correct then we are 5th not the red dogs.

 

[markwwfc1992]

858 Baggies. Bit gash imo.

Villa, Birmingham, Wolves and Albion at Bolton in the last 12 months. Half price for Albion aswell.

Let's be reyt here mark, you would have no more than a few hundred more in identical circumstances, Brum probably the same, only villa would have a lot more.

I think in indentical circumstances we would get around 1500. Buy one get one free is a big incentive. Also didn't Brum take 3/4k there on a weeknight when it was £10 or something?

 

[SoutheySWFC]

To be fair all the NFWF would be there now BM, these die hards that never missed.....

Waiting for the day Wednesday get promoted and have 10,000 fans appear from nowhere who haven't been to Hillsborough since the 99/00 season.

We are on about away fans..... I'm still waiting for 15k that turned up v Wycombe to come back, the glory hunting shitcunts

We only averaged around 24,000 in our premier league relegation season and its not dropped much below this even in our league one season's finishing in bottom half.
Think lowest is 18-19,000 when we finished 17th.
