Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

Thought the bottom tier at Ewood held around 4K. I know the corner section where they sometimes hold smaller away followings holds around 2k.

They sell STs in the other section now so you don't get all the bottom.

Got ya. So Newcastle can forget taking 7k there then. What will the maximum allocation be now, 4K? The corner of the bottom tier and directly above it id imagine.

They have been known to move the ST holders if needed.

The only police force worse than south Yorkshires in my opinion

Notts police might push it close, they only let Mansfield give us a 1595 reduced allocation and also made them bring it forward to 12:15 kick off because of trouble last year when Notts County played there!
Never any trouble when we've been before but punished because of another teams fans smashing it up, smart policing.
The amount of wasted police that were there Saturday you would have thought Mansfield were playing fucking Millwall!

1.000 police for 100 millwall fans

Allocated 2K for Huddersfield.

We've a strong support behind the goal now making a difference, rather than 4,000 away fans drowning us out and boosting their team on. With SC being cheaper, the grounds filled up too. Still expecting around 21,000 for the game against you.

Can understand your logic, hope we reciprocate though.

Villa have sold around 3,600 for tonight according to our box office, should be nearly 4,000 with pay on the gate

 

[Trebor68]

Off to Barnsley tonight and Preston on Saturday for first time in a while.
Best pub for away fans?

it's £32 on the gate tonight. And I think it's a set price for adults/kids so can't see many paying on the gate. Less than I expected us to take, but form has a lot to do with it, and also midweek. Taking 5700 to Preston on Saturday as well. Are you expecting a sell out in your end?

Old No. 7 (Market Hill), Arcade Ale House (The Arcade), Dove Inn (Doncaster Road).

All fine as long as there's not a huge group of you singing and chanting etc.

Edit: Not expecting a sell out in our ends, probably have around 11-12,000. Will still make for a great atmosphere under the lights.

If you're coming via train then you'll probably get bundled into the Old Vic first.

Moorbrook is a good pub near(ish) the ground but isn't very big, you've enough choice down Church Street and Friargate in town though. Looking at a 20 minute walk to the ground from the centre.

If you're coming by car then Sumners is your obvious choice close to the ground.

Allocated 2K for Huddersfield.

A few grounds where we (and others) regularly take good numbers have reduced allocations nowadays, can add Huddersfield to Forest, Rotherham and Derby now.

Blues away has sold out in a day. There are a lot of gutted people, with me one of them.

Sorry buddy, I didn’t get the notification.

Wouldn’t have recommended any of the pubs near the ground, they are all drab and depressing.

I always drink in the city centre, myself.

It's already looking like it's gonna be a sell out.

Code Red in the Tilton and only 'limited availability' left in the Kop.

I'd imagine the upper tier of the Gil Merrick and blocks 38, 39 and 40 will be opened up for this one.

Sorry about that kid, I never had any notification of being tagged (and still haven't). For the record, The Cricketers is pretty away friendly these days to most clubs, it's where I tend to drink these days, 5 minutes from the stadium.

 

[TomPNE94]

No worries lads. Ended up just going in the ground at 7pm to find one kiosk open and 2 people serving. Queue was snaking back and forth! Don't think they anticipated nearly 900 away fans tbh.
