Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[villa loyal]

Where are these fucking idiots?? Some fans of our club are unreal, honestly.

tbf I haven't heard anyone say they want him gone. I know a few who didn't really want him to start with but we're prepared to give him a chance. All clubs have idiots mind.

I'm surprised we are close to selling out Spurs as there is no interest at all for that game. I can't be arsed wasting my Sunday down there.

Last season at Newcastle we had 1900 there on tv week before xmas. Season before that 2500 on a Saturday and the year before we had 1800 on a Sunday morning on tv. We took 1500 to Norwich midweek, on tv and a week before xmas with expensive tickets so I'd be surprised if it's much less than that. Newcastle will be cheaper too but we have played them for years so it's not a new ground. A few wins should see us hit 2k.

In the corner mate . Was in there for the friendly game last season and tbf it's better than being at the side.

Yeah Spurs is mad. We're going to get roundly trounced, Sunday 4pm on 'terrestrial' at a ground we've played at for around 25 consecutive seasons. Crazy. I'm only going to help us shift a few more tickets. No appeal whatsoever and wouldn't be going if I wasn't local.

Ah nice one; it's awful along the pitch. Impossible to create an atmosphere as by the time a song starts at one end, it's faded by the time it reaches the other.

On Bruce. Likewise, I've not heard anyone say they want him gone. Questioning the inclusion of Westwood / Gabby, et al. and some (the majority?!) poor performances, yes fair enough, but can only really judge him once he's had a transfer window or two and puts his own stamp on the team. Similar to Jase, I don't think we're ready to go up this season so would rather finish just outside and build again for next season.

fair play to Huddersfield and blues.

Geordies
Leeds
Villa
Wednesday

Then fuck knows.

 

[SF_]

Only northern away games we had before Christmas were Rotherham and Wednesday (still not exactly round the corner), ours will jump up over the next few months.

There was a definite turning of the tide at Cardiff with quite a few murmurs of discontent with Bruce around me. I don't get it. What this club needs without a doubt is stability and an experienced manager who has proved he knows what he is doing, i.e. Steve Bruce. Surely people must realise that changing manager every few months and bringing in supposedly exciting continental managers doesn't work i.e. Remi Garde. Just watch how Swansea, Hull and Birmingham fair with their continental managers compared to Sunderland and Brighton with their proven, done it before, manager. I HATE FICKLE, SUCCESS HAS TO BE TODAY, FANS.

Where are you at Wolves? The normal allocation on the side of the pitch, or behind the goal?

Are you sure? Thought you would be in the Steve Bull lower (side stand). Holds about 2800 away fans. Shit view from there mind.

 

[Walkley_Owl]

They've got the full allocation

been allocated extra and by the time it got round to me being able to get tickets the lower Steve bull had sold out. I prefer it in that corner.

 

[LeylandWhite]

We've sold our Villa allocation for the 21st, looking forward to it.

 

[Bartonyellow]

It says we took 2,800 to villa.
It also says that figure for Leeds and a couple of other clubs too.
Is that just a generic figure that villa put out? I doubt we all took exactly 2800. Surely 2793 or 2823 etc. Not that it matters, just that it seems an automatic figure based on the fact teams sell their allocation beforehand.

we never give out away figures. What did it say your allocation was at our place because I can bet my bottom dollar other clubs get a different figure to others. The full allocation is around 2800 so whenever a club sells out that's what we assume the following roughly was.

Thanks for clarifying. We got 2800 tickets and sold them all. I just wondered what the exact number was as you always get a few people not turning up etc.

It must be summat about claret and blue colours as Scunny don't give any out either.

Given yourselves, Villa, Norwich and Newcastle are utter cuntheads for not giving out exact numbers I've used my discretion, you'll notice those figures along with others are in bold as it is not confirmed.

If you want to do this instead of me feel free.

Get back in your pram. Was not a dig at you, you do a bloody good job. I just wondered how villa come to their numbers.
And yes - we are just as bad if not worse...

it dates back many years ago when we ruled the world. Our armies would conquer the world and kill those that would not surrender. Scunthorpe were one of those that did surrender and therefore had to live under our rule. To pledge alliance to Aston villa teams had to wear the claret and blue colours. There were rules that were set in stone and if broken certain death would follow. One of the rules of the land was to never give out away followings. True story.

Fuck me that means you also conquered the ICF, I have read in numerous books that they are a 1000 years undefeated.

history mate. That's all we fucking have now mind

 

[villa loyal]

4761 Geordies at blues. I know it's not championship but just saying like.

 

[Jamo]

Around 3,500 Barnsley at Blackpool watching a game we're all instantly trying to forget. Fish and chips were nice though.

I'm also just saying. Like.

 

[AnkleBiter]

So there was only about 1000 Blackpool fans?!

 

[TomPNE94]

So there was only about 1000 Blackpool fans?!

Been that way all season.

 

[Jamo]

Yep. They were all together in one block at the side of the pitch. Very sad to see.

 

[LeylandWhite]

No it's not.

 

[Jamo]

Well, it is. A club having the heart ripped out of it by dickhead owners is pretty sad.
