Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

Wrong thread mate, don't go all Lincoln on us.

Don't bring us into your Nottinghamshire squabbles

Exactly the point of my post, this is a thread for away attendances

All Lincoln? What top of the table? Can’t see that happening

410 Vale at Morecambe

That isn't that bad from us given the time of year and shite weather.
Makes the awful following at Mansfield even stranger as it is almost half the distance and a way better away day.

Rather baffling.

Some grounds we just don’t like for whatever reason.

Take Oxford and Swindon for example. We’d often take 800-1000 to Oxford but 2-300 to Swindon yet they are close together.

We generally take 800-1200 to both Notts County and Chesterfield so the Mansfield one was odd.

Expected less than that though Saturday especially with how poor the weather was and the fact it’s a couple of weeks before Xmas.

Should be a large following to the next away trip!

 

[darren gregory]

Yeah true, Peterborough and Swindon are two of our worst for numbers, terrible followings there.
Mansfield i can only summise people expected the usual defeat ( and they were right ) because we usually don't travel that badly there.
I think this will be one of the first times i can remember we won't sell out for Macc.
Anticipate maybe 1500 .

Recall our first league visit to Macc on a Tuesday I went and we took about 900... then since have sold out... we might get a big one there as we haven't been for 7 years and people will be breaking up for Xmas, put it this way its a lot more attractive than the New Years Day away fixture!

Mansfield most were fairly positive as we had been in good form but I think its more of a pain to get to on the train compared to Chesterfield as that is on the main line from Derby, sure Mansfield you need to go to Nottingham and change there.

 

[darren gregory]

Yes you do, we made a day of it in Nottingham and had a belting day. Apart from the 90 minutes as usual .

I remember going Macc on a sunny August Tuesday in the days of Tommy Fraser and lost 2-0.
My last visit was New Years day about 2011 , i got knocked over by a cyclist , it bloody well wrecked but i put a brave face on as if i wasn't embarassed enough !!
Cyclist lying on the floor giving me loads of grief. Happy days.

Recall that August one as it wasn't all ticket as we'd only took 900 the time before and fans were queuing round the edge of the ground to get in... might be wrong but sure they had to open part of the terrace to the left to accommodate us all.

Got beat mind as you say. As we did New Years Eve last time! Ironically they've only won 3 times in the EFL since!

 

[Crewelad87]

I can’t see our next two being well attended Exeter and Forest Green. Two expensive away days just before Christmas, we never win in the South West, and only Macc have a worst record away form this season.

 

[EricSabin]

Our next one is Yeovil on December 22nd. Be very surprised if over 200 make it to that one.

 

[StrangelyBrown]

Our two December away games are back to back (Boxing day at Crewe and Saturday 28th at Cambridge). Should take 1,000+ to each of these really.

We've only been given 1,424 tickets for Cambridge which is almost 500 less than we took on a miserable wet cold Friday night in February last season- are there any ground works going on at the Abbey? Seems most odd to be given less than last season (BUT seating in South Stand and Habbin terrace for the traditionalists is available). Maybe will release the maximum number when this lot sell out.

 

[Davidimp]

Or Cambs OB don't want a big away following on a Saturday, hence why the game last season was moved to a Friday on OB advice...

 

[GTFCfish]

We’ve got Exeter away a few days after Christmas, good job they’ve got that new away stand in place as we’ll be taking thousands there.....

 

[Davidimp]

800 sold for Cambridge since going on sale yesterday, allocation now increased to 2400.

 

[les.gtfc]

Not a league game but we've been given an allocation of 4,168 for our FA Cup tie at Crystal Palace.

Initially on sale to season ticket holders from Saturday, 2 per ST.

£15 adults
£10 OAPS
£5 under 18.

Don't think we'll sell them all but I'd hope for between 2 and 3k to travel.

 

[Davidimp]

No official yet on ours but Everton announced prices on their site on Friday.
Same as your game.
Rumour has it we'll get around 6,000.

It may not be down to LCFC but this was always going to be a big day out- Saturday between Xmas and New Year, almost 1,900 last season travelled and we are poised in a much better position in the league.

1,424 was never going to be enough so at least we have the fullish amount (I am sure 2,600 is the full allocation for the South Stand and Habbin Terrace but 2,l400 is better than 1,424)

Don’t get why we don’t just put the lot on general sale, no way will we sell out so pointless having ST holders first, proper fucking idiots running our club.

5521 then, gonna be fun when they go on sale Friday

Any chance you can rest a few on New Years day with a view to this game?
Isn't 10 goals in two games enough hurt for one team to take

Unfortunately, it's the 80% first so 4,400 available Friday.

Decent allocation, though. Not sure why some are pissed off, although they're generally general sale people with a few STH's who wanted to take a non-STH with them.

 

[4froale]

So Oldham won’t be taking over a town

Always said Tranmere have better away support

The spice in Crewe must be potent.

Think the same mate, if I get a ticket for me and my daughter then great if not o well I'll still be at all the home games for the rest of the season being a season ticket holder.
Did they really think we'd get 9-10000 tickets.
Chelsea gave Forest less than 3000 tickets...

We rested a few in the first two TBF, especially the first game.

Hopefully we finally manage to put a strong enough team out with Pope's only two absences being these two games! Holy intervention required!

Still lose though I would imagine.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Oldham away on the Saturday before Christmas.

One for the committed. Literally.

 

[Davidimp]

Newport are our visitors next weekend, nice n local!
