Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

[Indian Dan]

Ah well. It’s all opinions.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

You know it's a terrible take when The_Viking_Magpie agrees with you.

Sometimes, or you can't quite grasp the point of view that's been fully explained.

What’s the maximum allocation at Stockport as we’ve just about sold out before general sale

 

[Gunit]

This might be one table we move up this Saturday.

 

[The Evil Dead]

Stockport fans.

Are you likely to sell out against Doncaster on the 7th? Me and my lad ticked Portsmouth off last season so I cba go all the way down there again and pay a fortune, so he's picked your gaff as his next one to tick off (I've done it 3 times before myself). So just wondering if it's a possibility before I book train tickets for us?

 

[Pilot_Phonic]

Stockport only sell out for Wrexham...proper tinpot club

 

[GTFCfish]

Amazing bit of bait there, they will definitely fall for that.

We won't sell out. Tickets should be available on the website now.

Bit rich coming from a club with the 2nd highest ST prices in L2.

So you’re OK with getting ripped by your own club but not a 1 off £3 for 1 away game.

That’s wrong - those are not GTFC early bird prices. Only a hundred or so STs have been sold at those prices. The club also has to consider the shiteness of Blundell Park. Most games last season were within a couple of hundred seats of being sold out (that’s tickets sold not attendance). Most remaining seats are restricted view. The club just can’t afford to charge the same as clubs with either big capacity (Bradford, Notts) or next to no home fans (Salford). It would be a huge revenue hit.

1st batch of 600 odd tickets for Salford almost sold for 7th October. Could be 2 1000+ followings on consecutive Saturdays which doesn't happen often with us.

Mansfield tickets went on sale this morning and it’s already pushing a home sell-out. Will the police let us split the away end, I wonder.

No chance, we want the whole of the side stand.

That sounds like an idea Notts Police would love to let happen

Absolutely no chance!

Although saying that I would never have thought that this fixture, at this level would attract such a huge crowd and sell out so quickly.

And it's on the telly.

 

[Richard Cranium]

We’ve been given 3888 for it

 

[Son of Cod]

We’ve been given 3888 for it

So the stand isn't safe for everyone else but it's fine for Mansfield fans. Absolute crock of shit excuses they've been peddling for years then Notts Police and the SAG.

Well we know how much mansfield mean to county fans under a certain age (say 35 or so) it’s their biggest game, no wonder they want to follow so much, great numbers.

Great numbers all round, surprised by the away allocation though.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

And in return I respect and am impressed Mansfield bringing considerably less (of all ages) to Meadow Lane than they take to Field Mill for the first time that I can ever remember.

It's a whole new world Adam.

 

[Conker]

I imagine Notts Police have had a say in regards to the allocation, they would definitely want the maximum possible given to Mansfield.

It is less than we have been given previously in that stand, it’s been above 4,000 in the past.

It’s going to cause havoc with the averages

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

We've always been very generous with away allocations, an oversized stadium lends itself to.

TV money and a full house, marvellous.

 

[Bianconeri 1862]

The stand holds around 5,000 .

Except for when you're shitting your pants in the playoffs...

We need to get Alfie to work out actual averages and averages based on what allocation was allowed.

Give him something to do

 

[F!RTHY]

Obsessed.

Exactly, we live in the age of where this game means more to county fans than it does to mansfield fans bet not many county fans knocking around in the 80s/90s would’ve believed that!

 

[Conker]

A Notts County fan called our away end ‘pathetically small’ on twitter today, quite ironic considering they only managed 1100 odd last time they visited

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Except for when you're shitting your pants in the playoffs...

There are plenty of teams out there that have far worse playoff records than ours.

You don't have to look too far

 

[Gladders]

We need a new table, one those show percent of tickets sold by availability, it's the only fair way to do this.

Make sure to include ticket prices and train strikes into any figures
