Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[villa loyal]

Leeds have had the full allocation at Wednesday the past two seasons. Well I think they have, although they never sold out two seasons ago. Don't see why they won't get it again.

 

[blademan89]

Stoke have sold out for Hillsborough, how many they got?

Both early kick offs were they not?

No they haven't they only got the top last season.
The only time there has been any serious trouble, was the last time this match was played on a Friday night, that Knob Cawley shoving Kirkland over, Leeds fans ripping down advertising hoardings (and throwing them on their own fans below) and bottles, coins and seats exchanged between away end and North stand.
They may get the bottom tier, but I can't see them getting many down there and they certainly won't be anywhere near the North Stand.
Shame really I like a noisy full away end, it generates atmosphere all around the ground.

Think so.

 

[Another Walkley Owl]

If they can handle a Sheffield derby on a Friday I'm sure Leeds is fine.

They didn't really handle that too well.
Owls fans took it in their own hands to protect themselves more than SYP did.

 

[villa loyal]

Leeds still hold their reputation from the 70s and 80s. Not many clubs do.

I didn't feel the need to be protected outside the ground or walking back up, just common sense.

Thought they did.

Rail strike on Saturday from Preston to Blackburn. Where I live, it would take me 4hrs to get to Blackburn by train. It will be quicker getting train to brum, then going to Blackburn from there.

It's a reputation not a reality - Leeds don't take the piss home and away at all anymore. Millwall, Blues and Sheffield United have been more troublesome in recent years I'd suggest.

You properly love Leeds off don't you?

 

[PrestonCha]

Most of the club's with a 'reputation' back in the day, still have a semblance of that reputation today.

Different generations of wannabe badasses have heard all the stories and felt the need to attach themselves to a club with a reputation, to make themselves feel edgy and cool.

Truth is, 99% of so-called footy 'lads' nowadays are embarrassing muppets. Fat waster c*** or 8 stone wet through skinny runts wandering around thinking they're bad as fuck wearing ten-a-penny Napapijri jackets, gazelles, snide stone Island jumper an aquascutum scarf and a gram of shit coke.

The whole scene is a complete cringy embarrassment.

Compare today's lads with lads of the same age from the 80's or even 90's and it's like night and day.

Look what happened at Euro '16....... would that have happened 20/30yrs ago? Would it fuck.

You've said this before, why, and how do I? I don't like Leeds at all. Respect them as a club though, and have a brilliant away following. The fact is Leeds still bring that edge to games. Millwall are the same, but don't have the following. Blues and Blades both moody, but neither have that edge about them that Leeds have. Ask the London clubs who they would rather play, ask the Manchester clubs , Liverpool clubs, etc . No one would blink an eye at blues or blades.

 

[villa loyal]

Anyway...

1250/2600 for Bristol City. Going off how sales are going, we'd sell the 3600. Shame we ain't had it.

No-one would "blink an eye" at Leeds either. They turn up in their numbers but they don't bring much of an "edge", they're just a noisy bunch.

You just do, you're always full of praise for Leeds I think you secretly admire them - I'm not knocking you it's just an observation.

Decent sales for a Sky game. Will it make general sale?

I've never felt the need to be protected there, some have though.
The coppers lining for 200 yards then disappearing is hardly the way to deal with it imo.

I'll succumb to your knowledge your the man with the numbers so you will know.
I thought they got allocated less than Villa though. Was that the previous season?

Last two seasons they have had the full allocation. Sold out last season, sold 3800/4500 the previous season.

3,100 apparently

We will beg to differ. It's hard not to praise their away support mate. My two oldest mates were Leeds fans, who I grew up with, so I've always disliked them.

The 2600 won't make general sale, I wouldn't have thought. Depends how results go, I suppose. It's not on sky is it?

Cracking effort at £36.

It is on Sky, any game that's not a Saturday 3pm will ben televised this season. It's on the red button.

Your first sentance cannot be made... unless you're observing from attending all 46 games. Sadly Leeds still has an issue. Every year the banning and arrest figures released by the authorities contradicts you. It causes issues with ticket allocations, kick off times and police issues due to these continued incidents and it's a pain in the arse for us 'oldies'.

Lie. Source - Bristol Post:

Most Banning Orders (2017) -
Wolverhampton Wanderers: 32
West Ham United: 30
Manchester United: 24
Barnsley: 22
Grimsby Town: 20
Birmingham City: 18
Bristol City: 17
Everton: 17
Millwall: 15
Southend United: 14
Derby County: 13
Hull City: 13
Queens Park Rangers: 13
Chelsea: 12
Liverpool: 12
Aston Villa: 11

Proper Leeds mentality you have. Trying to make out you're still something you're not.

 

[Depthcharge]

Not at all pal sorry you take it that way, most likely a reflection on yourself not me. Observations are mine but facts are not mine: Two different tables banning orders and arrest across a 5 year trend. You dig them out, I've got chickens to feed and soup on the go.

 

[roversfan2001]

We've sold 300 for Derby and 500 for Stoke so far, expect both of those will double by the time the games come round.

I think it's about time that you changed your avatar my mate.

The Blackburn rose has been well and truly refreshed with sparkling clean Indian mineral water....... it's not looking anywhere near as withered as it is depicted in your avatar.
