Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2023/24

[SoutheySWFC]

Just over 9k home fans and 1k away why?

 

[JJH]

Yeah it looks they have, fair enough.

Sunderland had 1400 there recently, so I’m assuming there is space for more in the terracing area. Not that it matters much, we’d probably only have another 50-100 walk ups anyway. Was just wondering really.

Sunderland had the whole of the South "Stand" I think, they've got STHs in there on league matchdays hence the smaller allocation.

They had the entire of the "normal" away end too. (like how you had when you last came, both stands tents terraces ends in the corners)

I think Sunderland sold 1800/1900 in advance but strangely 1400 turned up, which was weird

Yeah I saw, if we play you again in the future and you're still at The Mem I think I'd probably opt for the South rather than the open terrace. Can just picture us losing in the 93rd minute and being piss wet through after it lashing down for the entire game and walking down Gloucester Road after...

We've sold out for Luton away on Saturday

Aye but you returned half your allocation didn't you?

Not as far as I know
Allocated 1030, there were 250 left when they went on general sale this week and they went earlier today.

According to our website the club has managed to get a further section of the Oak Road for home supporters. Unlikely we have reduced segregation. It suggests Doncaster have returned tickets.

Not sure why we would return tickets when close to selling out. Unless Luton have inisited on it

Agree a strange one, although there is a huge demand for tickets at the moment with 3 of our last 4 games already sold out. The other must be close to being sold out. The limitations of a small stadium I'm afraid. Will be chaos next season if we get promoted.

Reminds me if when we were still at Belle Vue and we won League Two. We didn't bother having games all tickets and you'd have thousands locked out or jumping the walls to get in.

 

[Maple Hatter]

I liked Bell Vue. The 3-3 draw the last time we got promoted to the championship springs to mind. Been 30 years since our ground last had terraces.

From what I'm told you sold 500+ and then returned then returned a similar amount, think tickets sold is around 570.....

[K-Win]

601 Gills
508 Blackpool
748 Dons
647 Walsall
654 Bradford
360 Wycombe
198 Pompey
343 Argyle

Belated correction "198 Pompey" should read "198 Scunthorpe (at Pompey)"

That would have dragged our average down considerably!

 

[BelizeHatter]

Hopefully soneone will compile all these so we can get a look. Pretty pleaese?

 

[djs]

I'll post my table next week, after the weekends games, unless anyone beats me to it.

 

[Jamo]

Only 915 sold for Walsall tomorrow. First shite following I'd deem we've had this season. 3rd away game in a row on Sky, 12.00 kick off and drawn blanks in 4 out the last 6 games but I'm making excuses here, it's pretty poor to say we're in 2nd. I'll be there jinxing us again nevertheless.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Sunderland have given us a maximum allocation of 2800. Don't understand why it's so low.

That’s the maximum allocation.

That's the same for everyone, Bradford got a small amount more but even in the Championship that was the "max"

 

[PUSBCCFC]

If for some reason we manage to get into the play offs, I really hope we don't come up against Sunderland in the semi finals then!

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Bloody good pricing from Sunderland though. £20 an adult, £7.50 for the kids.

 

[Vic Rattlehead]

I have to say that having read the Rochdale statement regarding the increased Sunderland allocation is one of the most pathetic, self deprecating, small time things I have read in a long time. "They are a club with a normal away following greater than our average home attendance". Good way to run down your own club and supporters. If I was a Rochdale fan I would not be happy.

 

[Gassy]

1214 Rovers at Plymouth

 

[Jamo]

905 Barnsley at Walsall for the early kick off.

Pre sold 915, pay on the day available with a massive queue when I went past, so not sure about that. Not great either way but absolute scenes at the end

 

[thefootyman]

540 Donny. Poor from us agreeing to send back tickets 3 days before the game, could have sold a couple hundred more.

 

[Eastfield Posh]

916 Shrimpers at Posh.
