Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

[valefan16]

I read somewhere 1188, which seems odd as we sold 1200 in advance with pay on the day.

Apparently Vale took away the option to pay on the day on Monday, before a twitter storm and they've now reversed the decision. Vale fans - any ideas?

Not sure why, there was some trouble with Oldham fans on Saturday so not sure if that had an impact and the police got twitchy but think I saw you’ve sold 1600? Or something so capacity shouldn’t be an issue with 4500 seats.

Expecting a large home crowd again so hopefully another decent atmosphere like Saturday.

No wonder Salford are losing money like they are, £15 and they only give you 1200

That’ll be absolute carnage in the morning.

they’ll be gone by lunchtime.

Salford should really consider giving the whole of one of the stands down the side to away fans also, certainly for the clubs with larger away support. They pretty much have now got about 1400 home fans who show up and that could easily be fitted in the other two stands. If they went up and next season came up against say Sheff Wed or Derby they would surely have to do that with the amount they'd both bring.

According to Radio Bristol we sold 1300 but it looks like 1188 is the official total given by AS Police.

We have sold 1,500 for Bradford on Friday and I think we will get close to the full allocation of 2,000.

I think that is brilliant considering automatic promotion is long gone, and even the play offs are looking unlikely.

Six defeats and a draw in the last seven away games.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Looks like we will have sold out the home ends for the Port Vale game by the time the away tickets go on sale on Thursday.
Edit: Confirmed a sell out

 

[The Evil Dead]

22 tickets left for Hartlepool.
67 tickets left for Walsall.

 

[EricSabin]

Sold out for Barrow on the final day. Seeing as our season is sliding to a disappointing end, that’s a good effort.

Tickets go off sale at 9am tomorrow for some reason so cant see us reaching 2000. 1500 still a great effort though.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Whatever happens, the full houses and sell out away ends at this stage of the season are superb, and just show how good the product is at League Two.
I hope a lot of you are just playing for play off places though ;-)

 

[AdamStag]

Sold the initial 514 for carlisle.

Given i’ve got a train ticket but no match ticket i’m glad it’s pay on the day also!

 

[valefan16]

Walsall sold out - no further tickets (2200 i think)

Less than 10 left for Hartlepool from the additional allocation

Exeter on sale tomorrow - 1154 tickets (possibly 160 more apparently but waiting on that).

With Salford and Barrow selling out its set for a complete sell out of our last 5 away trips which is good to see. Got a Walsall one... will try for Exeter.

Probably fans knowing it's their only chance to tick off our ground. We may never meet again.

Expect lots of morons trying to invade the pitch etc - unless our relegation is confirmed before then.

 

[The Evil Dead]

Vale fans started queueing for Exeter tickets from 4:30am this morning. Safe to say, these won't last very long.

Queuing. How quaint!

Huge queue, not confident, apparently some camped overnight!

Don't worry, we'll be filling your shed for you. ;-)

Its a shame how the fixture computer has worked out really as we could sell double or treble the tickets we have allocated for that one, we were relatively lucky last time in this position we had Rochdale Away - 3000 tickets and Wycombe who gave us two stands.

Looks like I may have got one though!

 

[Chief Rocka]

More importantly, you sold them remaining 10 Pools tickets yet

 

[valefan16]

Exeter tickets sold out in 90 minutes!

 

[kieran_vale]

Exeter tickets sold out in 90 minutes!

Obviously it’s good we’ve sold out but things like this really in my opinion highlight why one of the clubs priorities needs to be an away loyalty scheme. It’s about time the club upgraded their ticketing arrangements as while it looks good the queues surely being owned by an IT firm it’s not beyond them to start doing them online.

 

[chipmunx]

onto our 5th coach for Salford away on Monday.... which probably means we'll out number their fans like everyone else does when they go there...

 

[valefan16]

We've applied to host a live feed of the match on a big screen if the match is a promotion decider/play off securing tie, we've argued low away capacity and the concern of fans travelling without tickets so have to see what happens there!

Excellent. Will away fans be allowed

I doubt it will happen personally with it being a 3pm Saturday but they have to explore it as fans are unhappy.

Think the black out means it wont happen?

Not sure on previous for this as we last won promotion at home (virtually baring a 28 goal swing) and the time before that was 1994!

I'm going in the home end, so that will boost the number of their fans by about a third.

 

[northstandexile]

I see Bristol Rovers are only letting Salford sit in the seats and the away terrace is being used for home fans.

makes sense, they’ll take about 15.

Both sides have a decent chance of the playoffs

To be fair, Salford took a few down to ours so with it being a bit closer and their chance of the playoffs they might get to 100.[/QUOTE]
