Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

[immariner]

Yeah, ours is significantly slashed since you were last at BP too. Think it's only 900 now.

It's 1257 or thereabouts

 

[BlackHaddock]

3,872 tickets sold (as at 17:00 23rd March) for our FA Cup game at Southampton on Wednesday 1st March and it's on TV. Fantastic support for a fourth tier side.

Alright, Marty McFly.

Oh yeah 1237 is what we allocated Bradford. Was thinking we were going 10% for some reason.

 

[Limerick Mariner]

I thought the away allocation was much bigger, need to be quick to get tickets for this one and Grimsby.

I was thinking it might need to be rearranged, but the FA Cup semi is the following week...

 

[BlackHaddock]

Alright, Marty McFly.

Actually it's crept over 4,000 now mate.

Don't think you got the joke.

You’re right, i’d be very very surprised if stockport or grimsby went on general sale. They’ll both be sell outs.

Always get weary of that away end at grimsby being too full it always looks like it’s about to collapse.

It’s only 84 years old. I’ll be the 122 year old bit today.

For next week Harrogate gave Gills 508 away tickets. They sold out and we were given another 100 also sold out and told no more to be given.

That sounds strange. Surely they have capacity for more away fans than that don’t they? 608 sold a week out. Pretty decent for that distance.

Yeah they don't give any more than that. It's ridiculous. If they did you're probably looking at about a third of the division outnumbering them in their own backyard though so as frustrating as it is, I get it. We went there as our Boxing Day match. I reckon we'd have shifted 2,500-3000 for that if we'd have had the chance.

You can’t compare Harrogate to any usual football league ground, you have to think way more tinpot than what you’d expect.

Can't remember why but the end behind the goal is shut. They gave us that for the League Cup tie back in August, but only gave us the 600 behind the dugouts a few weeks ago.

What joke?

 

[ForzaCounty]

625 incredibly bored County fans at Barrow

 

[JaredSUFC]

223 Sutton fans enjoying life in Casnewydd

 

[CTFC - Devils]

504 Carlisle at our place - great support

Some of our lot had to travel by plane from Edinburgh!

 

[PuB]

931 Wombles at Priestfield

 

[GTFCfish]

What joke?

You put that we’d sold the tickets by 23rd March and not Feb.

 

[Crewelad87]

481 Rochdale at Crewe

Feck - are ‘Dale fans chucking in the towel - that’s under an hour away?

They've never had a big fanbase that I can remember. Impressive that they've stayed a league club as long as they have IMO, but the writing is on the wall for them I think.

Reckon you'll bring many to Cumbria on Saturday? Or will Wednesday mean that some who would have travelled won't be able to?

Will effect it a bit no doubt…maybe a bigger hit if we somehow get through and get another long haul trip a fortnight after. Maybe 350 to you next week…

When you get there you'll realise why. The setup is very small and very non league, they don't have the facilities and capacity to have more away fans in there than 600.

 

[The Terminator]

499 Orient at Grimsby.

 

[TheDon]

I think they announced 76 Harrogate at the County Ground.

More than most bring, and understandable that it'll be a few down on what it could have been.

Even worst now because the stand behind the goal has been shut due to it being un safe and needing re developing. Away fans are now in the terrace and seating behind the dug out.
