Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[blademan89]

Would have taken 5000, if you gave us the tickets, my fav away game ever was at your place in 86, when we took 10000, in a crowd of 19000, we won 1-0, Gee scoring for us in our promotion season, under Arthur Cox. We use to take excellent away numbers in the mid 80s, loved going away on the football special, had some great times following the Rams back then.

Id be more than happy having 5k away fans but it will be a sell out and our biggest gate of the season anyway.

 

[Kilburn Ram]

As if we'd take 5k on Boxing Day.

Stop being so silly.

You would, it's the best supported game on the calender home and away.

You stop being silly, took 5000, to Birmingham Boxing Day, when we won 4-1, I was there, plenty of Fans love an away day on Boxing Day.

Don't think we did pal. If memory serves right we only had half the stand with Blues also being in it. That's surely max 3k? We were front row and there were shit loads of empty seats.

I'd had my new car 2 days and had to abandon it on Junction 29 that night, snow was horrid. Good win though.

On that Boxing Day pal, we filled the end, check it up , you will be surprised, yes it snowed, and a great game.

What year was this?

 

[Kilburn Ram]

We've never been given 5k tickets for Birmingham.
Usually allocation is around 2.8k isn't it? I know we had around 3.5k last season, but that was a one off as far as I can remember.

 

[villa loyal]

Looks like forest are bringing a full end with them Wednesday night. Their allocation is now 2650, so I’m assuming they will sell out.

Your right we usually get 2800 tickets at Brum, but on that Boxing Day we were given more tickets, check it out we had the whole end which is rare, but on this occasion we did.

Thanks for that info, wonder where I got the 5000 from.

Don’t worry about it mate, Blues always think they have 5000 in our end every time we play them.

So Derby had the second largest following of the weekend, although Blades , Forest and Boro sold out, and that following from Boro was fantastic, for a game live on sky

What a great achievement 40 mins up the m1.

 

[Derby1971]

Not an achievement at all, but at the end of the season us and Blades will be close in the away table, both Derby and Sheffield United are up and down on away support, but both our teams usually average over 1800, come the end of the season. The only 3 teams who have consistently good away numbers are Leeds, Villa and Wednesday. In fact Leeds away numbers would be top 5 in the premier league, always travelled well, as long as I can remember.

Took me an hour, though I went up to j35 and stopped at Grenoside for a couple of pints on the way there.
Hour and fifteen coming back.

Don’t go crazy mucks. I hope you took a break.

Lol.
I hear you.
It's just this thing that people think Sheffield is close to Derby. It's not, and it's a bloody nightmare getting to Hillsborough sometimes.

I'll get my coat......

It's fucking 40 miles hardly a difficult trip either way.

I agree it's not far, like Sheffield is not far from Leeds , thats why you always sell out when you go to Elland Road lol.

My heart bleeds for you struggling to games less than an hour away.

You took 1000, a few seasons on the run, we have taken over 2000, on a few occasions, if it is on sky, then we take less, heard the only reason, you do not travel to Leeds is because your shit scared of them, is this true or just a rumour.

Leeds and villa are big clubs that's why, Wednesday are only slightly bigger than us 2 yet have away support nigh on as good as villa, for some reason it's getting better too. Could be league one bound again next year

I went to every one of those games, they were on Sky.

Think, without looking it up, the last three trips to Leeds have been all but sold out.

Our away support pisses on yours, I'd keep schtum,

 

[villa loyal]

Think Wednesday had around 2200 at Leeds last season, but maybe wrong. The season before you sold out, but before that there was a few low followings there. I could be wrong though.

 

[villa loyal]

Sold around 1800 for Boro away on Saturday. The late KO and being on sky hasn’t helped, but still think we should be close to selling it out as we seem to be on the right path now. Can’t see us taking anymore than 2200, that’s if they give us more tickets other than the 2k we’ve received already.
