Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

[kieran_vale]

2354 with 224 of those Stags. Crikey.

Can only guess Colchester must be rolling in cash to be so willing to put off their own fans from coming. Makes little sense to me.

Tickets for Mansfield just entered general sale this morning - 1,100 sold.

Do Bradford have a completely different fanbase for away games then? For a short trip like that, I would have expected your one billion ST holders would fill the 1,800 away end at Mansfield without getting to general sale...

Shite away support really, put simply.

I'm not expecting you to not sell out, you don't fail to fill our away end with the same capacity, just intrigued that fewer than 10% of ST holders will travel less than an hour and half.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

87 Rovers at Spotland apparently.

 

[GTFCfish]

quite a noisy bunch at times too, can't fault them - proper fans travelling all that way on a Tuesday

Yeah I’ve always been impressed with Exeter’s support, I remember a few years ago they were doing the conga around the Osmond whilst hammering us 3-0.

 

[northstandexile]

286 Oldham at Bristol
200 iron at Walsall

still missing Salford at Crawley, if there were any.

 

[Conker]

Fair play to those stags fans going through all that to go Colchester on a Tuesday night, they sounded more like 500 on iFollow too!

I was surprised how many of us were there. I was expecting less than 100 with the game on iFollow . It seemed a very soft penalty but our view wasn’t the best as we sat at the other end of the stadium.

I honestly couldn’t care less how our tickets are distributed. We do, however, have a 1,000 priority members who have first dibs before ST holders; so the window of opportunity for ST holders to purchase away tickets is only a number of days before being released to general sale.

1,500 sold - 200 remaining. They’ll be sold by Saturday, that’s all that matters.

 

[Andy Proctor]

Good following from carlise at vale more than what we usually take there on a Saturday.

 

[Bee sting]

I am trying to find out too.

Surely there must be one Rovers fan that can count to 10.

 

[F!RTHY]

Orient have allocated us 999 tickets! Not a 1,000, but 999.

I accidentally broke a seat at Orient once, it literally disintegrated in my hand as I was leaning on it waiting to leave the ground. That's probably why!!

89 according to their website

That was double their average home crowd not so long ago. Can`t wait to see how many they bring to our place. And how they react when the likes of us (we play them on New Years Day. That should be fun), Bradford, Oldham etc rock up there.

To be fair, they're mostly United fans so I doubt they'll be wowed by Tranmere! How many does their away end hold?

The last time we went there outside of lockdown they gave us 1400.

They have got about 100 real supporters.

If they take as many as we did might be advisable to not drink for 24 hours before unless you want an hour waiting for the odd portaloo!

That bad? Seeing as it's new years day, I imagine we'll sell the full 1,400, especially if we're doing OK.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

We’ve something like 40 tickets left to sell of the 1,673 we requested or is that the capacity of the away end at Mansfield? Either should be sold by end of today.

 

[Indian Dan]

We’ll be the majority at Salford on Saturday.

Really, what’s the point of Salford?

It was then but we were their second home game in the EFL

 

[MadJohn]

Carlisle have sold their allocation for the match at ours on the 28th and are asking for more. We gave them 900 though the end holds about 100 more than that (they brought a sellout 997 last time we played them). Not sure why we've marked it down. They did damage some seats on their last visit but surely to god we've had them fixed!

They won't get more tickets but judging from the L2 Facebook group their fans are definitely in neurotic overdrive about this game, as per.

Yeah there is zero chance they get any more tickets, I wonder if they've made a buffer zone with those 100 seats in the away end closest to the Millhouse, dunno what reason it would serve but it seems strange?

Haha, yeah I'm sure they are. I can't spend much time on the FB groups, it's bad for my sanity.

We could skip the football altogether and just get the lads lads lads from both sides to settle things through the methods of posturing and casual clobber.

Holds closer to 1,800 but we ain’t allowed to allocate that many I don’t think.

Wonder how many don’t show up? You’ll get the proper figure with 10/15 minutes to go. There’s always a few tickets not getting used which is annoying.

Am I right in thinking that the old away end, is the stand opposite - with yellow seating? Doesn’t that stand hold slightly more than the current away end?
