Stickied League 2 Away Support Thread 2023/24

[Don Caster]

Newport & Wimbledon travelled decent considering the miles, Harrogate support was shocking for an opening day 40 miles down the road but hardly surprising, I'd have sooner lost to a proper club who's fans would have enjoyed it rather than a few hundred happy clappers but there you go. Bitter, me, never

Haha, 433 happy clapping waitresses and hairdressers made our way back up the A1. Although few in number we made more noise than the claimed 7000 Donny fans.

Bottom one to the tinpot thread please.

168 is woeful for an opening day, honestly my Sunday league side could almost take that many away. After family and friends there can't be many "supporters" actually there.

 

[Casey]

Looking at that table thinking 3800 is a good crowd then realising it's 3rd from bottom.

168 away fans is more than we will take to mostgames.

It wasn’t that long ago that 168 would have been a decent home gate for Salford tbh.

You’re not as geographically fortunate as salford for a start though in reference to local games.

 

[Bartonyellow]

168 for Salford is good. Wait till it’s mid winter and a Tuesday night and they midtable.

I'm not really one for attendance willy waving but honestly that FGR Salford game is pitiful both for overall and particularly the away numbers. It's opening day ffs. What's the point?

 

[Gunit]

I’d say pretty reasonable for Salford given the distance. I’m surprised as many as that travel given apathy in general to their home games. That’s probably 10% of their core support. Maybe they benefit from exiles from that part of the world popping along to lend support, could be doing them a disservice though, who knows.

Boreham Wood took 25 to their opening game, so even family and friends don’t give a fuck

As soon as someone signs for BWood their family disown them.

I think it was 1,673 mansfield at crewe but couldn't hear properly over the tannoy.

Crewe have confirmed this morning the the stags away following was 1660 on Saturday.

Fair, was trying to get hold of it when they announced, also saw they’d get the scoreboard to the left of the stand we were in but half of the scoreboard wasn’t visible due to the low roof.

 

[Son of Cod]

Mansfield already trying to diddle the numbers.

I heard 1673 on the tannoy 100% so a mistake obviously.

 

[GFCSludge]

Walsall and Bradford decent numbers given the distances.

 

[GTFCfish]

I think we’ve sold out Notts as tickets are showing as unavailable on our website and people are asking if anybodys got any spares.
Can’t wait gonna be a great day out with my lad, Wetherspoons brekkie then onto the train.
Bring it on.

480 mile round trip - our longest of the season. Glad to get it out of the way so early on, but in terms of numbers, I expected a few more to travel.

 

[AdamStag]

Yeah, several others said the same. So technically right with the figure, great following either way both in terms favs and noise - as is standard.

We’ve a chance to take some decent numbers away early this season with crewe, doncaster and accrington all with decent away ends capacity wise.

 

[Son of Cod]

Sold 441 for Mansfield in the League Cup tomorrow, think it's pay on the gate as well so could go up that.

Yep well up for it too mate. Looks like there are still tickets online to me though?

Ahh right I saw a couple of people yesterday saying it was coming up as grey meaning no tickets available, and then people asking on Twitter X if anybody had any to sell, maybe it was just a glitch on the website then?

 

[northstandexile]

Only 441, that’s a bit tinpot isn’t it?

I thought Grimsby had a massive following.

I'll assume you're taking the piss there.

 

[chipmunx]

Numbers last weekend were obviously affected by the ongoing train issues. We had similar distance trips this season (Tranmere) and last season (Stockport) but numbers were down from 997 to 551.

 

[F!RTHY]

Morecambe allocated us 1,600 tickets. Expect these to sell within a matter of days.

Hopefully they’ll allocate us another block, like they’ve done many times before.

 

[Amber Nectar]

I'm sure he's on the windup as per usual.

Our ticket sales have been poor for this game. Apparently we're no longer opening the QLE due to poor sales in there.

 

[Conker]

Expected surely I’m not going have zero interest in the game, on the other hand I’m pretty sure Grimsby away in the league is sold out.
