Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

[valefan16]

I think Mansfield only got 550 for Harrogate that was suppose to be played over Christmas, not good enough really is it.

We got 650 (had it gone ahead) they are really strict though and it was all ticket no sales on the day.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

We were given 600 for Harrogate, (which we had sold out) but only listed as 574 with a few in the home end, but the stand behind the goal was half empty!!
Our allocation was probably limited by the three man wide trough urinal for away supporters.

 

[Chief Rocka]

You wouldn't want to be in an away crowd at Harrogate with anything more than 500, they're not setup for it, been there once and that was enough for me, never again.

 

[Conker]

Cannot find the actual figure we were given for Harrogate anywhere, sure it was 500 odd though and was quickly sold out. Personally grounds like that are a bit of a put off, just a park innit.

Is it me, or all these clubs coming in to the league getting worse? I'm sure that when the likes of Stevenage, Crawley and Accrington were promoted, they had already improved their grounds, to the extent that their away ends are perfectly adequate.
Does anyone know what Borehamwood are like?

Looks ok - https://footballgroundguide.com/lea...ence-premier/boreham-wood-fc-meadow-park.html

Few hundred in the new stand there and the terrace behind the goal.

 

[Essex2Wessex]

Seems like we led the way in the "shit away area on promotion" stakes. Sorry about that.

 

[BarraMatt]

Nah, can't be any worse than ours.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Thank

Thanks. Looks much better than Harrogate and Sutton

Been there a few times, three 'decent' stands now they have the new one at one end, the other end is very 'park pitch'. They are the home for The Arsenal Women's team so have the funds to improve their facilities even more.

 

[denzel ecfc]

833 Grecians at FGR. Absolutely tremendous

 

[JaredSUFC]

116 Colchester supporters in a total attendance of 977 at Sutton in the Pizza Cup. Obviously both sides were treating it with the respect it deserves

 

[Soup Ladle]

369 Bolton in a crowd of 2500 ish

The ground isn`t too bad especially now they have build a covered terrace at one end. The main stand is quite tidy actually. The away terrace is a bit basic though. Bit like the old one at your place before you re-developed it. It`s their support that is lamentable. I only went there once and was amazed that given the distance and the fact we were standing without any cover in a near blizzard at one stage we had more support there than they did. And don`t even ask about when we played them at Wembley. They took around 1800 the 8 mile to the biggest game in their history. Having said that one of their idiots managed to hit one of our players full on the back of the head with a bottle, something that was swept under the carpet. Any money it wouldn`t have been had it happened the other way around.

470 allocation for Sutton. Cripes.

I told you so.

 

[EricSabin]

I told you so.

I didn’t doubt you

 

[The Terminator]

470 allocation for Sutton. Cripes.

Last time we went there we took 1600 in the National League, there are going to be alot of disappointed/desperate people amongst our fanbase when we go there in April.

Have to hope they can finish building that away end asap.

 

[EricSabin]

Managed to bag a Sutton ticket this morning

 

[EricSabin]

Sutton sold out.

 

[denzel ecfc]

Walsall fans: i presume 514 is an initial allocation and when we sell these we will be given more?

 

[denzel ecfc]

507 from Pompey in the pizza cup on a Friday night. Bonkers.

 

[F!RTHY]

1,243 travelling Bantams at Carlisle.

Given how shit we are, I cannot fault our numbers - all season long.

 

[northstandexile]

193 crawley at sixfields
338 walsall at the lamex

no data yet for Iron in Birkenhead

 

[RLC]

273 Scunthorpe fans in a crowd of 6,056 at Prenton Park.

Not bad all round considering the Covid disruption.

 

[The Terminator]

940 Orient at a 5,200 crowd at Stoke.

 

[F!RTHY]

Rochdale have allocated us 2,626 for our visit in a couple of weeks.

…about 2,000 too many.

 

[kieran_vale]

Waiting see what sort of allocation we get for Orient away in a couple of weeks. Hopefully they can get them on sale soon. Have to admit this is one of the games I'd earmarked once the fixture list came out.

 

[White Army]

Looking forward to seeing what this away end at Salford is all about tonight. Sure i've seen a few suggest it isnt fit for purpose, so a sold out away should mean a fun night ahead.

 

[E10rifle]

Initial 1,000 with 400 more in a second tranche/on the day is standard.
