Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2023/24

897 Wigan at Scunthorpe.

not to bad that i think if we were top 2 by now we would be taking more away! nearly 2500 from 2 away trips over Christmas is pretty decent

 

[Football Purist]

Except it's an 120 mile round longer journey. Shocking away day, in the worst away end in the league. Absolutely zero reasons to go, unless you're completely off your rocker.

Bury next, 2,700 sold - that's more like it.

Don't sell any more-you'll outnumber them.

 

[UTS]

They will outnumber us anyway, no one in their right mind would pay to watch our shower of shite

 

[T.A]

They actually will. Ludicrous decision to make the game all-ticket. Plus we're wank at the moment so yeah.

 

[UTS]

Be lucky to get 2,000 home fans on, atmosphere around the club is terrible. We are wank and the club making it all ticket has wiped 1,000 off the gate straight away.

I hate Bury sometimes

Why in fucks name have they made it all-ticket?
No need whatsoever.

 

[Football Purist]

You're not as wank as us,by the way.

We asked for 5,000 tickets, they wouldn't give us them - thus' causing panic with Lancashire police hence the 2,750 allocation. Demand is/was there, (however, in hindsight, sales have slowed right down due to current form). Why they just didn't give us the South and East stand, I don't know. Bury get their beloved main and MRE, and we're essentially all in one stand...as it wraps right around. But instead, they've made it all ticket, limited the allocation and split away fans I two stands (East and Main stand).

It doesn't make much sense TBH.

 

[T.A]

It would be stupid to give you 5k and pretty much give up home advantage. The police would never allow that amount anymore anyway.

You reckon the demand is there for 5,000 when you managed under 2,000 to Rochdale and Oldham for league games?

Ha bloody ha!

 

[GFCSludge]

I sincerely hope we break three figures on Thursday. Fucking bastard Sky.

Well, someone on the Bury messageboard rang the club for ticket info for the Bradford match and was told we have sold "a lot less" than a thousand tickets.

gonna end up with about 700 home fans on, and it's all they deserve

 

[joethegill]

We probably will just. We have quite a few northern exiles - the only time I remember us being sub-100 for a league game was when there were 78 of us at Hartlepool on a tuesday in January during the season we failed to win an away game. We drew 1-1, making it one of the better trips of the year!

less than Rochdale...

If ever one post summed up just how completely mental us lower league fans are, that is probably it!

Worst thing was we'd been away at Accrington the tuesday before and lost 1-0 in the cup - Christ knows why I decided to do both trips!

 

[wiganmudhuts28]

i reckon about 200 from gills in a crowd of about 8200

 

[joethegill]

Think that might be on the money from our point of view. the fact it's on TV will obviously lessen the numbers too but we did manage about 500 at Coventry on a friday night last season when that was on the telly as well so who knows?!

 

[BCFC]

70 tickets remaining for Bury away on Saturday.

 

[UTS]

In contrast we have sold 600 according to Twitter. We took more to port vale last week

Totally agree.
The layout of Gigg means they can easily extend the away accomodation right round the corner and all the way down the side if necessary.
And that's what should have happened.
And without making it all-ticket.

 

[Luke8686]

we made our cup match against Bury all-ticket and the ground was half empty! We sold about 2500 which is normally what we get for a league game, we could have easily shifted over 1000 more if it was pay on the day

 

[Football Purist]

Io

Again no need to make that game all-ticket.

I did that Accrington game too, it was thoroughly awful

 

[natdan]

If Gillingham break 100 tomorrow I would be surprised to be fair. What a stupid night for football and what a stupid game to make them travel that distance.
My prediction - A crowd of 7816 with 94 Gillingham fans. Im going all out so score - 1-1

i was just trying to be generous

Teams outnumbering Bury at Gigg Lane is just a given, isn't it?

 

[Evans1883]

Coventry have sold 625 in 2 days on priority sale for Southend away so far in 2 weeks time , hopefully will sell it out what does it hold

Around 2000 I think, guaranteed to sell out.
