Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[villa loyal]

So you agree it's shit, they brought more to ours with 15 quid extra per ticket

Yes, but didn’t expect it to be anything else. Surprised Forest ain’t taking a few more away. Genuine chance of the play offs, and pulling in good crowds at home, but their away support doesn’t mirror this.

West Brom will piss the league despite Darren Moore. Fancy us Wednesday mind, if we drop the shit keeper.

You’re looking decent at the moment, but I don’t think you will make it. No way we will unless we get a decent manager in who knows how to handle and play our squad.

Forest are better than Dorbeh but both are fickle as fuck, think 1800/2k to Bolton/Blackburn given form is under par.

Yeah it is.

Aside: was at Hudds v Spurs yesterday. Crap game. Spurs fans were shockingly quiet. Clappers and drums in hudds end created bit of a family atmosphere. Just felt all nice and cuddly and dumbed down. No edge or rivalry. No oomph. Championship feels more real and earthy.

Went to Leeds v Spurs years ago when they were around the top 4. Leeds won 1.0, I think. Didn’t hear Spurs once. They had the corner in the south stand. I was sat in the corner where the East stand meets the Kop.

Much as I hate United and Leeds, the atmosphere and edge when either visit us is palpable.
Much rather it be like Friday night very week.
Only the United game is better.
I'm not falling for the Leeds fans don't care about us anymore either.

I was at Man City Brighton yesterday. Great reminder of why I don’t miss the Premier League. Brighton came with one intention, keeping the score down. Atmosphere was like a pre season friendly.

Man City have lost their soul, big time.

Atmos is poor at most Premier league games nowadays, first time I've heard Chelsea fans when they've been on tv for ages on Saturday.

It's all prawn sandwich eating tourists at a lot of games now, they spend most of game taking photos on mobile phone than trying to create an atmosphere.

In 1980s you could go to places like Chelsea and Newcastle and atmosphere was electric with less than 20,000 at some games.

Totally agree mate. City sold out at Cardiff the other week, but hundreds never bothered going, which is shocking really. They attract a new type of fan now. The city of old were great. Very loyal support.

 

[blademan89]

Initial 1569 sold out for Blackburn on wednesday a further 200 tickets arriving today, expect it will be pay on the day as well too.

I fear we might go that way, saw a fucking half and half Wolves/Southampton scarf on Saturday.

Same with all successful clubs I guess.

 

[blademan89]

Extra 200 sold out, another 200 coming tommorrow, don't wanna print any extras do they Blackburn

That deserves an entry in the tinpot thread.

Fair effort that. I’d be surprised if we have more than 400 at Rotherham on Wednesday, I ain’t bothering.

It will probably end up being our biggest following so far, I said last week I thought more would do Blackburn than millwall, not played there since 2007, good price tickets and were doing well, the downside to stop people is it's on tv and it's not a very good run for a night game at all, need to be off for 2.30pm or it's potentially a 3 hour journey. On you're game at Rotherham, not the most appealing of trips.

 

[Kilburn Ram]

2,400 sold for QPR Saturday. 700 left on general sale. Nice to have the lower tier.

Will be a very Good following from Sheff Utd that, for a Wed game on the red button.
Seems ages since we last played each other, always seemed to play each other when I first started watching in the eighties and used to be the team we'd played the most, not to sure on that stat now.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Last time you played em was in the PL I believe.

Decent following by United that

 

[roversfan2001]

£30 for Swansea on a Tuesday night. It's like they don't want anyone to go.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Football pricing is really laughable for Tuesday night games.. £30 quid a ticket, not to mention travel times and costs to go to Swansea when it's on TV anyway. I hope one day common sense prevails.

 

[Depthcharge]

Reduced allocation for Leeds at Hull tonight 2,100. Same last year. No reason why.

 

[SMH]

29 quid for Sheff Utd. 24 quid for Millwall (Tuesday night).

Be loads in the Hull end, I’d imagine?

 

[Ciderup]

When we played them in the semi final last year they were deathly quiet at their place but made a fair row at ours to be fair to them. I would imagine only their proper fans managed to get tickets for the away leg.
