Super Paul Caddis

Our lucky charm. He was at Ashton Gate when we stayed up last season.

How's he getting on at Blackburn?

Struggled to get in the side, just unfortunate that Nyambe has been so solid this season. Saw him play for the youth team the other week, he was nothing to write home about.

 

[tiltontrev]

Was there for that Bolton game, better than Wembley, hands down

RoversFan knows he’s good in with Blues, took him and his old man for a beer in our local down StAns

I think Leeds have sold out every away game this season so far. Our last 4 aways are small allocations, so we will end up around 2700. The 2500 from Wednesday is very impressive considering the bad season.

 

[blademan89]

Leeds couldn't possibly be any higher than it is at the minute but will end up over 3k as they have sold 5k for a midweek sky game at fulham and will probably take the same to preston midweek too, Wednesday's is top class as is birminghams.

 

[villa loyal]

Ah, they failed to sell out at Reading. 600 shy.

It would have to take something off the scale to top that Bolton one, got Millwall (2002 Playoffs) & Club Brugge in my top 5. Didn’t appreciate winning the League Cup as much as I should have.. disliked nearly everything of that 2010/11 season.

Some great figures. Boro's is mighty impressive when you look at the numbers going the opposite direction.
They take over double away to what visit the Riverside.

Outside the Championship Portsmouth again fantastic when you consider the distances travelled.

Interestingly (ok only in south Yorkshire) Barnsley and Rotherham averaging the same away numbers.
Surprised me that as I always thought of Barnsley as a much bigger club, obviously relative clubs form different and maybe Rotherham travelling less distance? But even so surprised me and impressed with Rotherhams numbers.
Lincolns both home and away very good.

 

[El Guapo]

What’s the deal with Sunderland? Averaging close to 28k but it doesn’t look anywhere close to it when you see ‘em.

Most probably no show season ticket holders.

They didn't that's all they were allocated.

 

[villa loyal]

Oh right. Thought the Leeds lad on here said they sold out, but 600 never showed up. Quite a few empty seats in the away end too, apparently .

It's more than likely closer to 20k average.

 

[villa loyal]

Leeds were allocated 3600 at reading, and it sold out. A few didn't turn up though.

I think that's down to the contrasting seasons we've had. Rovrum are flying high, we've been down the bottom all season and won 2 out the last 26. Respectable by both clubs imo.

We've got Ipswich away midweek which will drag our average down but Forest and Derby away either side so should remain above 1,000. Not bad for the utter shite we've endured for the last year and a half.

Edit: Leeds away to come too although at 37/39 quid I can't see many going.

 

[markwwfc1992]

My overriding memory of going away to watch Blues will always be that goal at Bolton

Got to admit I would have loved to have been a Blues fan in that away end for your 'Aguerooo' moment. Days like that are why we watch years of shit as football fans, moments like that make it all worthwhile.

Newly found Wolves fans

Every club gets woodwork fans when they have a half decent season, I don't think we're much different to anyone else. If you were in our position I have no doubt Hillsbrough would be full every week.

 

[TomPNE94]

Do Leeds fans reckon they’ll sell out at ours? Tuesday night and you’re a bit shit but don’t remember the last time you didn’t sell out

Not a Leeds fan, but my guess would be yes they will.

nope, i'm guessing 3500-4000

You're not much different but it seems a massive jump which you've agreed with, fickle is a better word for it?

No woodwork fans at villa this season.

 

[blademan89]

No woodwork fans at villa this season.

Our home crowds are obviously up but I wouldn't say that's woodwork fans, definitely not the case away from home even when we were top, the demand hasn't been high at all for away games, certainly not even close to levels seen last season. We will average around the same on both fronts next season I'd guess within 10% on each.

We will end up averaging 32-33k at home this season. Last season was 32k and we were shit. Same here, the demand for away games has not quite been on the same level as last season.

 

[SoutheySWFC]

We are about 5% down on home crowds, given how the season has gone that isn't too bad, away crowds have held up and with the remaining fixtures that shouldn't change too much.

Not a Leeds fan, but

Yeah we're definitely fickle. In the Mick McCarthy era one week the fans would be singing 'super Mick McCarthy' and the next week screaming for him to be sacked because we only drew at home to someone like Wigan. It really split the fan base too, even now fans disagree on if McCarthy was sacked too early or too late into the season.

Won't be long before some of our retards will be wanting wilder sacked, the amount of people that go to football with no intelligence and all they want to do is moan is a very very high amount it seems. I swear we could go up win the prem and some still wouldn't be happy.

Bolton have given us a further, and final, allocation of 600, taking the total to 4770, fucking mental, they never gave us that many the year we needed to win to stay up on the last day when they could have charged £50 a ticket and sold the lot!!!

3,900 sold as of 3pm, should make for a cracking night
