Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

[Crewelad87]

Did strike me that we'd get 2 relatively close games, plus an under-21 team from the NE. Does this trophy have regionalized regions like teams in the NW play against NW and NE play NE or as close to that as possible?

They put the groups together themselves, making them as local, to get bigger crowds. Then they do a draw for u21 teams, so we get a random northern u21 team. And the same for the South, its a farce really, you will massively outnumber the Crewe fans for our game, our fans have been pretty good at boycotting this competition and we only tend to get 6-700 home fans attending.

I can see Port Vale bringing a fair few too, mostly looking for fights

Wouldn’t bank on it, be no more than 200 at best. Truth be told I didn’t even realise the game was at Wrexham as nobody from Vale actually acknowledged which of the games against yourselves and Crewe was the home tie. No doubt for the Crewe game they’ll pull their trick from last season of trying to bribe people to attend with double loyalty points but it won’t work.

Still a decent percentage of your fanbase is that, though.

We’ll average 18k in the league and expect 1,000-2,000 to attend these fixtures.

Big game for Sheff Wed at ours last season - they just about outnumbered our home support, fetching 3,200.

Weird.

200 or so is a fair few considering we have been used to the likes of Histon, Hayes, Eastleigh et al who have a **** away following.

 

[EnglishRed]

If there are only 200 Vale I guess the hooligans won't need as many bricks at least.

 

[Son of Cod]

As tinpot as it is, I reckon attendances will be high for it as those games are the only ones that a lot will be able to get tickets for easily.

No amount of getting your excuses in early will detract from the backlash unfortunately. Wrexham fans, you have been warned.

 

[F!RTHY]

Only 300 of us or so in Spain last night. Our season average is fucked already.

 

[ForzaCounty]

Yeah but it artificially inflates your fans-per-mile

Any idea what we'll get at Wimbledon?

Off the top of my head I think it’s 1100 or thereabouts

We took around 1,200 last season! Sure the away end holds around 1,500.

 

[JaredSUFC]

We were allocated (and sold out) 1200 at Wimbledon last season (in what is currently the biggest crowd for a match at new Plough Lane, and ergo the highest in the AFC part of Wimbledons history). Which due to segregation rules is the most Wimbledon can sell.

Btw the maximum away allocation at Sutton is slightly reduced for next season. The temporary seated stand is no more, so the maximum away allocation will be a little under 1400 (the away end holds around 950 and the overspill terrace holds around 420).

Strawberries?

Relegate us so I can go back to the non league forum.

We play Wimbledon in a friendly soon and theyve given us 1400

What strawberries?

 

[F!RTHY]

Tickets for our opening fixture away at Crawley have gone on sale. Creepy have allocated us 1,346.

Should imagine these will sell with relative ease.

 

[Son of Cod]

£22 a pop in the away end at BP this season.

 

[Conker]

£22 a pop in the away end at BP this season.

Probably should be half all considered!

Are those 950 seated or standing?

Definitely should be cheaper for the restricted view seats, I'm not going to argue against that.

280 seated, the rest standing

 

[AdamStag]

Just in general, that stand isn’t fit for purpose for away fans, it’s a major potential hazard.

 

[F!RTHY]

2,000+ City at Park Avenue this evening. I suspect most feeling a bit peeved with the side we put out (all youth).

Leeds would’ve taken more.

 

[joethegill]

Just 600 allocated to us by Stockport for opening day. I'd be surprised if they didn't sell out pretty quickly, I'd expect a bigger allocation would be available if so?

 

[chief]

1247 for Wimbledon. The season ticket allocation will go straight away, going to be tight getting one.

we took around a 1000 there 1st game last season - so there should be more available if you sell out early enough

Wouldn’t expect anything less from Bradford Whites, tbh.

Think full allocation is around 1400, that’s what we sold out with anyway. Side seats and open terrace.
