Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

[Mr Laybier]

I honestly thought Barnet would muster more than that against Luton for some reason.

They probably did.
Luton estimate is probably a little over the top.

 

[Maple Hatter]

They probably did.
Luton estimate is probably a little over the top.

Taken from the Luton OS:
"The ticket office would like to advise that we have now sold out of the allocation of Barnet tickets that we had for sale from Kenilworth Road.
Currently, around 2,000 Hatters supporters will be heading to The Hive tomorrow.
The extra 400 tickets are now available from Barnet."

That would suggest there were 2000 minimum and probably more judging by how many were sitting in the main stand of which we received a section.

Didn't look like many Barnet fans in attendence. The home terrace was sparcly populated and the small side stand had very few fans in it. The part of the main stand that hosted the Barnet fans still had a fair number of empty seats. Barnet have never had a big supporter base. I'm sure they are looking to build it up now they are investing in the Hive but it won't happen overnight.

Fair enough-it's just my inkling that away fans often over estimate/big up their followings but you may well be right ofcourse.

Not this time. About 1300-1400 barnet is about right.

Hmmm...I suppose a percentage of your former fanbase just aren't prepared to travel all the way over to Canons Park of a matchday.

 

[Trapdoor]

To confirm:

Exeters away end will be open next season, covered terrace for 1000 people (Barnets old stand).

The old grandstand will be ready about half way through next season which will probably have 250 odd additional seats for away fans.

Depends who you ask. I believe we are 100-200 down after the move, others think it's unchanged. I suspect the key difference to playing Luton compared to previous seasons is that Luton didn't sell out the space for away supporters so the home numbers didn't get a boost from away fans seeking in the Home end. I usually give this game a miss because of it.

Our home attendances in August are usually on the low side too.

I see you're back again Football Purist admin have been alerted by 2 mods.

True, but it seemed a bit cheeky to use this as an excuse when other clubs probably have the same issue.

I bet you can hardly contain yourself.

At times like that your club needs you to protect your manor from the infiltrators.

They really don't. My presence is not going to change whether away fans go in the home end and I'm certainly not going to involve an 80 year old man and his 2 grandkids in a brawl.

Was it Stan Flashmans duty to stop paying the players, fiddle the gates, pocket staffs pension contributions and leave the club within a whisker of being kicked out of the league?

I don't know... all a matter of opinion I suppose.

 

[Dan Phillips]

You won't take a thousand to Chesterfield and your gate today was never likely to reach 5,000 after your pasting at Leeds and 'unattractive' opposition in Wycombe.
Come on,you're back in the Fourth Division and penniless-reality check needed.

Like I'm gonna take anything you say seriously.

Do you not get bored of repeatedly getting banned for being a bellend and re-registering?

 

[Davidimp]

He kept turning up on NL board last season and doing the same there, prick.

Not sure what your problem is,tbh.

What's with your fucking avatar ?
Absolute state of you.

Sad sack Nazi bell-end to boot

What's up?

Surely the best thing you could do for the English gene pool is get the snip ASAP

 

[Mr Laybier]

Don't be stupid.

 

[Aber gas]

What's up?

You have a white power, nazi avatar. That's what's up you fucking weirdo.

 

[Mr Laybier]

Wrong.It was pro Anglo Saxon.
A call to protect our ethnic heritage.
There is a difference.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Wrong.

Wrong now you've changed it. Sort yourself out.

 

[Trapdoor]

Swindon fans - what was the official exeter away attendance?

 

[Indian Dan]

Dunno. Not given, which is strange as last year they stated it at the same time as the overall attendance was announced.

Purely my guess based on being opposite would be around the 800-900 mark.

 

[mowgli]

I bet you can hardly contain yourself.

Don't even think of trying to join 1FF again as you've been banned from there twice as well you pathetic numpty who can't let it go. Prepare for your 3rd ban from here and i'll keep getting you banned after your racist posts.
