Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

[White Army]

Our away average is 769.

Our home average is 6230.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Somebody needs to chart them.

WONT NOBODY THINK OF THE MEMBERS?!

 

[Imp in Branston]

Our average after 3 home, 3 away.

Home 8514

Away 1205

 

[UTS]

Our average after 6 games:

Home: 10,984

Away: 2,094

I think since there is no one compiling the data we will take these figures as fact.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Can we keep all willy waving to away attendances only, as per the thread title. Home attendances are overrated anyway...

Are away fans always housed where the Crawley fans were nowadays at Oldham?

 

[Mr Gloverman]

Shitting myself for our game against Oldham in a few weeks as they are taking over our town, again, apparently....

You'll probably wish you had a terraced away end then as you might find yourself a few seats missing come 5pm.

I like it that our home attendances aren’t that great as it means we’re usually top of the home % taken away table.

Might already be a few missing as I hear the Vale fans took a few home last season as souvenirs.

Shame for you lot that they weren't satisfied with some seashells, candy floss and a fridge magnet as a memento of their day by the sea.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

To be fair to Yeovil fans, it's probably a couple of extra hours from Nottingham to Grimsby.

Isn't it more like 30 years?

 

[MrGloverLover]

280+ miles from Yeovil to Grimsby. Just over 5 hours on a good day but Carl Dickinson said it took the squad 9 hours to get there for this game.

 

[MrGloverLover]

Very decent from Tranmere, the pictures looked like MK away at Swindon was decent also.

Crawley and Yeovil just need to dissappear into non league

You shouldn't keep letting us beat you then.

 

[Mr Gloverman]

Yeah i heard that. From what i understand they travelled up on the friday and stayed over. One of my (few) mates who lives in Rotherham went to Cleethorpes for the day on the friday and he said there was an incident on the motorway around South Yorkshire that held them up for ages so that may have contributed to the long journey for the lads on friday.

Either way it's a ball ache to get to from Yeovil as it is.

 

[DippyDon]

It's not been made official, but a friend of mine was told 551 Dons at Swindon by somebody on their side.

They were wrong, 601 of us.

 

[Attila the hun]

Yes

One broken seat. Probably a fat bloke.
Nothing else to see here.

They are, though I know it’s still a topic for discussion between Latics fans and the board as the majority want to back into the Chaddy.

 

[northstandexile]

I will try and come up with some averages later this evening

That’s usually us!

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Cambridge had sold 550 pre game so don't think they will have sold many more.
Exeter, given it was first away I expect it was closer to 300

Been allocated 1190 for Grimsby in a few weeks time, with an additional 500 if required. Curious to see how many we take there, and I’d imagine our results in the next 2 home games will sway numbers. Win them both and we might well sell it out.

I will be shocked if we take anything over 700. Grimsby is not the easiest place to get to. 3 hours on the train.

The club didnt bother with a reminder to season ticket holders to buy a ticket cos presumably we've sold about 250 so far. That'll increase & if we win on Saturday a few more might think about it.

Anything more than 700 is a good turnout in my opinion.

It did not look like 1,000 Cambridge fans on the TV. The away end was a lot fuller for our match there on the opening day.

perhaps someone could come up with an official figure

 

[Laker]

Not been mentioned on our board anywhere and can’t find anything on either website. I’ll buy a programme at some point this season, that’ll clear it up.

But they are right - 1,000 is way too generous. We’d sold 550 in advance so would guess at 750?

Me and two others going. Wouldn’t have gone if it was say Scunthorpe as have been there before but Grimsby is a new one for us. Imagine it could be a new one for a few but yes, it’s further from Oldham than you think so upwards of 700 would be decent. Win on Sat and could reach 1k but who knows.

 

[UTS]

Unless you’re looking like selling 4,000+ like Bolton did a few seasons back.

 

[Hurrikeen]

Must admit, my Geography is getting shown up since I’ve been in L2 as I didn’t realise how far away Grimsby was.

TBF though, we took almost 1k to Scunthorpe last s season despite it being a pretty meaningless game, and with it being somewhere we’ve visited many times in recent years. We haven’t played Grimsby for quite some time now and could potentially be going there on the back of WDWWW form.

Wouldn’t like to call how many it’ll be actually.

Impish can do it in 2 hours in his sports car.
