Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2023/24

[SpireiteDan]

We need quite a few at the last three (over 8000 I think) to average 1,000 but it's doable depending on the importance/allocation for the final game. Should be 3,000 at Barnsley, hopefully the best part of 2,000 at Oldham and all being well whatever we're allocated at Bramall Lane.

I've only been to three or four league away games but should be at all three.

I'd like to think we're going to have 3000 there on Saturday but i'd say it's probably going be similar to what we had at Doncaster, 2500 ish.

5.5k is what youll get. You reckon youd shift that many

 

[Westbars_Spireite]

We'd struggle to shift that many I think. We took that to Derby, and could have taken a couple of thousand more perhaps, but that was at £15 a ticket. You never know but I'd be pleasantly surprised if we did. Hopefully it's a 'dead rubber' and nowt on it for us.

 

[F!RTHY]

Tickets are selling pretty well for Sheff United, and with Scunthorpe and Crewe to come, we should finish on around 1,200. Shame we've got Gills away this weekend.

 

[LuSiVe]

That's assuming Oldham give us more than 1000, and that Sheff U don't give us the minimum they can - rumoured they're only giving us the lower tier .....

 

[BetterCallSaul]

Not an away attandence but we had 2554 in tonight to watch an under 15 game v arsenal. Thought that was quite good!

We had more tonight than Crawley had at home on Saturday.

They also had more fans at Oldham than you.

405 Port Vale at Rochdale

 

[MK_Allwood]

Their game was on a Saturday, ours a Tuesday.

They also had more fans at Oldham than you.

Shots fired. Was it a Tuesday night though?

 

[Cardsfan]

Crawley is 85 miles further, they were near the bottom and you were near the top.

 

[Cardsfan]

We get bigger home and away crowds than you so pipe down.

Nothing to do with who I support, no point criticising other teams if you have had similarly poor figures. I'm not criticising your club.

How is this comparable though?

- Us getting a bigger crowd at an U15 game on a Wednesday than Crawley Town in the league on a Saturday.
- Crawley Town taking a bigger away following to Oldham on a Saturday than us on a Tuesday.

Mentioning the first statement suggests that their support is embarassing/pathetic, which seems very ironic compared to the second statement.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

You get 2000 at crawley dont you

Nope only 1600, which is a shame as if we needed to win to stay up, we'd have taken thousands.

Our followings have been poor for the most part of this season, but its like the home crowds.

Was going to say that was nothing special being Arsenal and that, but then I noticed the 'U15'... Can I ask why the huge turnout to watch toddlers?!

 

[PUSBCCFC]

We have big families in Milton Keynes.

*Was going to say something wildly inappropriate but refrained*

I was waiting for someone to do so...

 

[Scumarmy.]

I was waiting for someone to do so...

Oh right. Yeah a good percentage of our fans are pretty young so they turn out to watch their mates.

I actually feel disgusted with myself.

Glad you deleted your first attempt.

Yeah I made a few typos.

Hmm

Go on....

Plenty of Arsenal fans in MK would have helped.

 

[blademan89]

Nah it is because we are MASSIVE.

What was the crowd

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

We have averaged a thousand away fans for every away league game within 100 miles this season.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Plenty of Arsenal fans in MK would have helped.

But it is U15s. Fair enough if it was the U21s and the chance to see some fringe players, but to watch players as young as 14 is something that I wouldn't bother with.

It was a chance to see some of the promising young players before they get sent on loan numerous times and then released in a few years.

 

[blademan89]

A piss poor following from us this coming saturday only 1500 sold for oldham. Very strange set of fans ours we took 1600 on a tuesday night to rochdale not long back

 

[TTOCS]

Who is gonna win the race for 2nd and automatic 'away fans' promotion then? City or North End?

We currently have 150 average lead, but our last following of 900 was very disappointing at Oldham. Preston wasn't comparatively much better with 2,000 taking the shorter trip to Bradford. They'll undoubtedly have more to play for in the run in but will that edge it?

BC: 3,000 Preston, 1,000 Bradford (Tuesday night), 1,500 Chesterfield.
PNE: 3,000 Port Vale, 2,000 Notts County, 1,500 Colchester.
