Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[Another Walkley Owl]

In the last 15 years barring leeds. I'd say Wednesdays away support is definitely the best for numbers considering how shit they've been up until last year. Not a lot between forest, Wolves, and Sheff Utd you 2 both just edge us imo then derby have picked up recently but nowt special before that.

Very honest opinion, think its about right too. Would be interesting to what Villa and Newcastle would get if they had the last 16 years we have had or the Last 10 years you have had. Not sure if you call it loyalty or stupidity in Sheffield to be honest, but both clubs het great numbers considering the crap that's been served up. As you say though Leeds(for various reasons) are on a different level to everyone else outside PL.

Great football city is Sheffield. Is Leeds a football city? To a degree yes, but it's similar to Birmingham imo. Leeds have fans everywhere, so that helps.

This is like deja vu. This thread just goes in fucking circles. Swear this is the 12th time that Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle and Villa have been discussed.

Your away support good then? You've never seem to travel down here well? I've always thought of Wednesday of having a good following, united not so much?

Yes, the rest of us are just tinpot.

At least you admit it.

We'll soon be massive in China though.

 

[JaseTheVillain]

That's my line...

Yeah they've got very good away support Sheff United. As someone has already suggested, right up there with Wolves, Forest etc....all things being equal.

 

[PrestonCha]

Speaking of Sheff Utd...

Off-topic like but whatever. Again, all things being equal, who's the bigger club....Sheff Utd or Pompey? I was having a discussion with a work pal not long back and this question was posed.

I said Pompey, although I don't think there's anything in it really.

He's adamant that Sheff Utd are.

Thoughts?

One for Villa_loyal this. Loves a good old 'who's the bigger club' debate this lad.

Never ever travelled well to Bristol I think 800 on the Tuesday night is the most we've took in about 5 visits. Our average is on a par with Wolves and Forest so make what you want of that to decide if it's good or not

 

[PaulWolves]

Don't think we'll be far of Wednesday if we have a good season.

You never are that far off anyway

not sure I've discussed the bigger club argument on here, but I maybe wrong. Anyway imo I'd go with Sheffield United but not by much. Both have great sets of fans.

the other season they were one of the best set of away fans at ours for a long time.

 

[BCFC David]

I was thinking more distant. Most fans will travel well to you. They only have to travel an hour and a half too. I've never associated numbers with United like I do Wednesday. My mistake it seems.

You're right tbf mate they travel much better than us all year we travel very well when we get a slight chance we think we're doing ok

That'll be it then, you've been struggling for a while now. That god forsaken league is a bitch to get out off. I can't say I really pay much attention to any league other than the one City are in anymore. Not sure why as I used to watch any game but not really interested these days. You got a chance this year?

Yes I think we have a chance that means fuck all with us though we will manage to fuck it up

it was an fa cup game mind. Over the course of a season I suppose it depends on how well they are doing. No comparison with Wednesday really.

More of a chance of getting out of L1 than Wednesday have the championship

I wouldn't be so sure.

I'd say Pompey, everyone around here is a Pompey fan. The city has it's own unique identity and that transcends into the football club as well. I wouldn't even class United as the biggest team in Sheffield, though that's not to say that they aren't a big club.

We're not the biggest team in sheffield I think that's quite obvious. Not a great deal in it like.

 

[TTOCS]

My first thought was Sheff Utd, but they cant sell out Wembley so must be Pompey.

Pompey didn't sell out Wembley either for an fa cup semi final so that's that argument fucked

Both smaller than I thought then

 

[blademan89]

Both smaller than I thought then

They had played there 3 times just over a year before. Wednesday took about 12k to Wembley for the FA Cup final replay against arsenal In the 90s they must be smaller too.
