Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[SoutheySWFC]

We've sold 300 for Derby and 500 for Stoke so far, expect both of those will double by the time the games come round.

That's fucking wank

I think it's about time that you changed your avatar my mate.

The Blackburn rose has been well and truly refreshed with sparkling clean Indian mineral water....... it's not looking anywhere near as withered as it is depicted in your avatar.

Venky's out, they still haven't repaired the damage they've done.

That's fucking wank

It's not brilliant no, but we've got three away games in the space of a week which won't help things. We took 500 to Derby on a Saturday two seasons ago, just to put those numbers into perspective.

Hahaha what?? Because you aren't a Premier League club anymore? Your sense of entitlement never fails to astonish me

Three games in a week but one is Bournemouth, in the EFL Cup, had it been Man Yoo or summat it would be excusable.

Sense of entitlement? How dare I want a group of owners out that have put us in millions of pounds of debt and overseen two relegations

No doubt if I was saying that I don't mind Venky's you'd be saying "plastic, only wanted them out when you were playing shit, it's all fine now things are looking alright". Can't really win with this one can I?

Still an expensive few days for anyone going to all three. The Stoke sales are surprisingly low but it goes on general sale tomorrow so the away games only lot will be able to buy tickets.

Not as bad as ours will be at Wigan next Friday at Wigan, 250 sold

1,200 gone for WBA next Tuesday. No word on Blades sales for Saturday, presumably about 1k?

That debt is false though isn’t it, you’re spending £7m on Brereton so it can’t be that bad.

Most of the debt is to the owners, less than 20m (I think) is to the Bank of India. The Brereton deal came as a surprise to everyone and if it's a sign of things to come then great, it's only taken 8 years for Venky's to realise they need to invest in the playing squad to compete (pissing parachute payments away on journeymen doesn't count).

Blimey....

I don't actually know but I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[blademan89]

1300 sold so far for saturday

 

[SoutheySWFC]

1900 sold by Stoke for us.

 

[villa loyal]

Thought Stoke had sold out the top tier.

Nah.

More like it, no POTD though so about 1,500 ish I expect.

Yep, not too bad for us with it being a bit pricey.

 

[Brad-Owl]

Less than 500 tickets left for Villa, expect these will be gone this time tomorrow.

How many could you sell for our place, if the allocation was big enough. Don't know why we don't give some teams more tickets, but it would mean moving season ticket holders which wouldn't go down well. The upper trinity rarely gets used, but it's not convenient to put away fans in that part of the ground.

About another 1k or so.....

What your allocation, 2700? Not many teams fill our away section now the first season novelty has wore off.

About that yes

Stoke,west Brom,Brum,Leeds and Wednesday, doubt anyone else will.

Stoke probably won't. All depends how well they are doing.

 

[villa loyal]

Allocation for Millwall 2067, same as last season. Strange that Leeds are getting extra.

 

[JJH]

We will, we've sold out the first two years for night games weeks before the game.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Quite surprised Villa hasn't sold out yet, trains into Birmingham are cheap.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

Didn't it only go on sale yesterday?

Right, I'm confused.

You're happy about them spending £7m on Ben Brereton but you're angry that you're £m's in debt. Surely you should be angry that they're spending that much on what will probably be a fringe player when it should be going towards clearing the debt you're so angry about?

You seem confused about what it is you want from them.
