Stickied Non-League Away Support 2023/24

[Shotsfan1993]

401 at Borehamwood and 486 at Gateshead last night. Less than 900 combined.

What. Is. The. Fucking. Point.

I think its about time Boreham Wood got reffed out of the playoffs...

A question I've been crucified for asking on here, of many clubs, many times.
The answer is none. There is no fucking point at all to their presence above Level 7.

21 Solihull at Gateshead.

No figure for Boreham Wood v Maidenhead.

 

[The_Boss]

The same as a club that is top of the league, yet can't get anyone on a coach to go and watch them.

Hmm not really is it. Talking about home attendances here. Admittedly ours still isn't great but comparing to another away game at the bottom of the country (bearing in mind the last two have been postponed, one when all the away fans were already there!) doesn't really stack up does it. Have you seen our run of away games now? Dover, Woking, Maidstone (again), Ebbsfleet, Borehamwood and Eastleigh - will be a fair amount of picking and choosing for most between those games.

As expected, Chester have given us two stands for our match there next month, which I think equates to 1,800 tickets.

Funnily enough, I am not actually convinced we will sell them. The title will probably be well gone by then and the Cheshire constabulary will no doubt move the kick off to some unsocial hour.

The Conference usually allow 1 tinpotter entry because ultimately they want a tinpotter to go up. Last year's playoff result was the dream for them, they want a big side into the big showpiece final but want them to lose and stay down for the interest it generates and to improve attendances division-wide. They like to ref the big sides into the playoffs but ensure that the lone tinpotter is the one to get promoted.

210 Sutton at Maidstone

453 O’s dying of boredom in the cold at Eastleigh.

392 Tranmere in a bumper crowd of 801 at Boreham!

You failed to outnumber them - this should go in the tinpot thread!

210 Aldershot at Chester

175 fc united at Boston celebrating a 4-4 draw on their big day out.

 

[Farleigh]

210 Sutton at Maidstone

Strangely subdued for title contenders. Quite a few gaps in the home stands too, probably due to the weather.

 

[DarkSithLord]

44 Gateshead in a crowd of 1254 at Bromley in the FA Trophy.

 

[B2TF]

At least 600 Shaymen at Guisly - easily more than half the crowd.

Im not normally someone to slag off away support but for a semi final thats shocking!

Isn't it just. When we played at Nantwich in the semis 2 years ago, we took 1100, had more than half the crowd, helped set a new ground record, and we don't even give a shit about the Trophy.

 

[Redbank]

Counted 41 Macclesfield behind the goal during the second half,
a big step up from the 4 that travelled last season

It is the second season in a row that they have announced our support as fractionally under 50% of the gate.

It would not surprise me if they fiddled the figures to save face.

Wasn't segregated so there were a few on the side and some old people in the seats, but I reckon there were about 50-60 in total. I think we might have pushed 100 if the weather (and another potential postponement/abandonment after a long journey) hadn't been so bad. The weather seemed to have put off the home fans too - I'm not convinced there were even the 800 or so announced in the ground!

They haven't when the played us - think we have outnumbered them every year (including two Tuesday night games)

 

[Boz]

No surprise that Aldershot get a higher proportion of the crowd than Rovers at Boreham Wood given our travelling distance from Wirral over three times that Shots fans would make.

We got an EVEN HIGHER proportion at Boreham Wood than AldTINPOT. Hahaha! *waves enormous willy* And another thing [cont. p.94]

 

[Aberstone]

Unsegregated at Brackley. Home supporter reckons 400 Wealdstone there whilst a neutral reckons we had half of the 1,250 crowd. I'd say it was just over 500 personally.

Trouble again i hear?? it seems to follow you lot around

Animals, lots of banned from prem thugs follow them. Tried it at our place last season.

 

[The Terminator]

GuiseleySteve Will our game next Friday be segregated? Obviously next season we won't be playing each other due to the North/South divide, so we'll probably take between 300-500 to this as its a new ground for all our fans as well as our local ground hoppers...........!

Take a raincoat and a wooden block. If it rains, you'll still get pissed through if you're sat in the stands. If you can't get a seat you'll need the block to stand on if you can't get a place at the pitch side fencing. Basically, prepare yourself for the shittiest of shittiest, FA Cup First Round style away days at a Tin Potter ground. Oh, and if you can't get a point there, prepare to be relegated.

It's embarrassing, even though I can guarantee that any trouble has been sensationalised. Those involved wouldn't have been supporters who follow us regularly but it yet again paints the club in a bad light.

Case in point. Hyperbole much?

68 Macclesfield at Maidstone
