Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[JJH]

New article on BS website says we've sold 700, ticket section showing only 100 left of 985 allocation. Weird.

Your away support is so hit and miss, some cracking numbers like Brentford and Fulham midweek then that to Hull despite league position and pricing. Mad.

I know it's bizarre. Anything less than 1,000 is honestly embarrassing, Rovers will have more up at Blackburn.

Wednesday's support has always been good but it's gone up another notch this season. 1k more to reading this year despite playing absolutely shite at times and mid table not like their top or owt. That bristol city following is not the best. We've not sold out for millwall though next Saturday which is shit unless we've already been given the lower tier which I'm not sure.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

No chance, they don't give out the lower tier anymore.

 

[JJH]

What does the top tier hold, 2,500?

If not it's a poor effort if not if it was Fulham or charlton both would be sold out now 3k and 4k. Did say 2100 allocation with a further allocation maybe available though on the ticket page.

2100

2100

Ark at Blades fans mind scared of Millwall away

Nah you'll sell that out with ease.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Can't remember last time lower was offered to any club

Be the first time they have never known em take over 1200 there.

Watford the season they went up?

Yeah, 785 last season wasn't it?

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Nope they had the upper only.

 

[JJH]

Nah, they had the lower.

They had only the upper in the cup game last season.

1300 most I think 3 years ago. Kept at ground for an hour. Last year was only time I've missed that was because of Yorkshire t20 final. Other than getting kept in which is shit its pretty much impossible for any trouble so no idea why people don' go.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Nah, they had the lower.

For some reason I watched the YouTube video from April 14 thinking that was the year they went up and that was only lower

I'm pretty sure they were the last club to have the lower, they are that I recall anyway.

Millwall away isn't really that great imo. Nothing around the ground for an away fan, top tier, not a ground I really like, held in for about half hour after the game... prefer Charlton, QPR, Fulham and even Orient.

Leicester only this February had the bottom tier before we sent them packing.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

My first time at Reading tomorrow, going down on a coach so I can have a drink on the way down, I know it's supposed to be a dreadful away day but surely there's at least 1 boozer near the ground?

 

[Etienne Vermeer]

Edit: thought we were still on The Den. My bad.

Another ground I need to tick off, shame we always play you on Tuesday nights.

Done it twice on a Tuesday night, thankfully I worked down south at the time. I'm doing it this season on train.

FA Cup though that pal, generally in the league it is a rarity.

It's a shit stadium. Town centre is fine and if you're on a coach you'll be stopping somewhere like Newbury. Still fine for a good gargle

Wonder how many on here went to the Old Den?

Why does it matter that there's nothing around the ground? Just drink in London and head to the ground for kick off...

True. I don’t think even West Ham has it for our league games. Charlton may have, Palace not for ages but then I remember some sub-1,000 crowds from them in the past.

Had my first season ticket in 1986/87! Still remember my first game; my dad drove us and after the game his window had been smashed and the stereo nicked. Nice welcome I guess.

 

[villa loyal]

I seem to recall charlton having the lower tier for a league game at Millwall.

I wish, I had, we played 4 times in my lifetime down there but I was only 10 on the last occasion, a 4-4 draw in the FA Cup.
