Yes a fair few. Easy to become a member and purchase at Hull.

29 quid for Sheff Utd. 24 quid for Millwall (Tuesday night).

Wigan at home is a category A game then, Jesus Christ.

I’m off to villa tonight, don’t imagine there will be many of us there

Won’t be many of us either

Going via train? M6 out of Birmingham is supposedly shut after the game for road works.

Nah my mate is driving. I saw that, I’m just gonna sleep and let him work it out, I’ve done my share of diversions on the way home.

As of earlier, we had sold 153 for Rotherham tomorrow night

Think Sky has finally reached Bristol.

 

[Kilburn Ram]

Boro charging £30 for our game at the end of the month that's on Sky and a 12.30pm kick off. I think they'd rather away fans didn't go.

West Brom charging a more sensible £20 for a Wednesday night game in a couple of weeks. Full coverage on Sky though (not the red button stuff) so probably still not going to be a great turnout, especially as we have Chelsea away a week later.

A group of fans are looking into starting a tour operator for UK football away supporters and are conducting some market research. If you could take 3 minutes to complete this survey it would be greatly appreciated.

Two decent efforts there.

700 Bolton

 

[Gerry Gow]

Very good from Swansea and Boro.

 

[UTS]

700 Bolton

That’s a bit shit for Bolton isn’t it?

Only a few seasons ago you took 4,500 to Vale Park... Wigan took over 1,000 to Stoke this season as a comparison, also on a Tuesday night.

More than we took last year, I think. Always a poor game and this year was no exception. Pretty sure there were more empty seats than used seats in the Reading end.

Red button job for most folk, save £25 etc..
Can’t quite tell whether it’s a good thing or bad thing.

As easy as it is watching on tele, I’d have gone last night if it wasn’t.

It depends on your circumstances, if you like going to a match for the atmosphere, iFollow and red button games are shite because less people turn out and the atmosphere is lessened, but if you’re an exile or someone who can’t afford to go to matches for whatever reason it’s a great thing to be able to watch your team.

It has its pros and cons but I do think it should be refined.

I think tonight is going to be our lowest league away following for some years. Could be wrong I don’t remember any numbers that low in League One and we haven’t played in the bottom tier for 30 odd years.

Hull away in 2013 when we’d already been relegated and it was a Friday on Sky we had 98 up there.

Ninety eight! Was probably the worse spell of following City in my life.

Ricky Foster, Liam Fontaine, Lewin Nyatanga and Ryan McGivern once was a Championship back four!

Dreadful times 2011/2013. Sometimes forget how bad it was and it wasn’t that long ago either.

Absolutely dire wasn’t it. We’ll still have more tonight even with it being on Sky than Rovers managed at Rochdale last night. Would love it if they got relegated just to make this season somewhat interesting to follow.

You’re comparing a promotion party on a Saturday afternoon in April to a Tuesday night visit to Stoke in October in fairness.

Different circumstances yes, but 4,500 to 700 is quite the drop, especially considering Bolton typically travel well to localish games and Wigan took a fair few more on the same trip under the same circumstances.

The Port Vale game wasn’t a promotion party either.

They could have gone up on that day at port vale, hence the reason so many went and not a fair comparison. 700 is below par for Bolton for that type of trip though I agree.

Having sold the first 6,800 Leeds have been given another 850 tickets for Blackburn for a 7,650 allocation. 12 noon KO and as for many clubs this season no trains. An entertaining day out again.

I saw this on Twitter earlier and wondered who out of you and Bill would be the first to update us in here.

As for us, looks like Brentford away will sell out in 3 days to ST holders. Great away day, looking forward to it.

 

[Gerry Gow]

Yeah six of us are going Brentford.
