Stickied Championship - Away Support Thread 2023/24

[blademan89]

30,500 at Hillsborough only the 9000 empty seats for a sold out game. Good old syp

 

[JJH]

20,000+ at Ashton Gate again, 1,800 Reading fans (wank) but a good side to watch.

 

[JJH]

Great scenes at the end as well might I add, looked brilliant in there.

Are you serious? I thought they barely looked bothered when they scored the winner. Crap support in terms of both numbers and noise and some of them racially abused my Asian friend too. Classy. Our support was even worse though.

Just think you're being a bit bitter pal and are understandably pissed off.

Bitter? Fuck right off. How would you feel if you attended a football match in a foreign country for the first time and you received racist abuse from the locals? Its disgusting. I have absolutely no intention of giving their support any credit whatsoever when it includes those kinds of people and why the hell should I? And as I said, I thought they were crap anyway.

Oh my days....

Obviously I'm not condoning the idiot who racially abused your friend, I'm not even addressing the matter as I wasn't there to witness it, I'm on about the away end being good when they scored and you being a bit (dare I say it) bitter that we've just chucked away a two goal lead after 70 odd minutes.

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend and hope the police take appropriate action...

 

[TomPNE94]

So to clarify, did somebody get racially abused?

Calm down, Reading's numbers were fucking wank but they made a good amount of noise and their scenes on the goals were pretty good. (not as good as JJH is making out but still) No need to take your anger out on him, he's not the one who racially abused your mate...

And if you haven't noticed, unfortunately all fanbases have people like that, including our own.

 

[EricSabin]

Reading fans were loud today I thought

 

[TomPNE94]

I thought their scenes were quality. Top notch fan base imo.

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

For the amount they brought Villa didn't make much noise, though that may have been down to how poorly they played.

Was also first game I've gone to where there has been armed police patrolling around the ground.

WTF??

 

[Jamo]

No official away following but we sold 1,771 at Forest before the game with no sales on the day.

I had to sit in the home end and nearly had a coronary when Hourihane twatted in the winner.

 

[PrestonCha]

Top banana scenes in the Reading end. Limbs all over the gaff. Fingers in bum holes, the lot.

 

[Bluebird_Dai]

WTF??

No information has been released about it either which is weird, rumours that they were there in case of a terrorist attack is all that's been said so far.

I think I misunderstood your post, I thought you were accusing me of calling their fans out for racism because I was bitter about the result. I can see thats not what you meant so apologies. It was more than one fan though, it was a group of five or six of them. Just wanted to let off some steam about it. All done now.

SHIIIIIIIT!

Hillsborough and elland road both sold out to home fans tommorrow , great effort from both. Yet they're will only be 1000 wolves fans at Hillsborough and 400 Rotherham fans at Leeds due to pathetic pricing. I understand leeds fans are paying the same but they have about 50x more fans to choose from than Rotherham.

It was £36 for Wolves fans so over a 1000 isn't that bad.

Wednesday had a ticket offer (50% discount) for home fans making it cheaper than our prices over the Christmas period. So got to give credit to SW for the rare ticket deal, should be more of them.

Not sure what's going off though with all the netted seats in all parts of the ground.
Stadium holds 39,500, so how can 30,500 be an official sell out?
9,000 un used seats. Madness!

Empty seats on Kop (restricted view) loads on bottom of West stand, North West triangle empty (as normal) plus seats netted off in all stands except the Kop. Yet due to SYP and SAG this is officially a sell out to home fans. As you say madness.

 

[SMH]

Didn't a few Reading fans racially abuse Al Habsi during their League Cup game against Arsenal? Old habits die hard.

 

[markwwfc1992]

Hate how some clubs can charge tickets half price to home fans but not away fans. Both us and Sheff Wed have done it now (maybe out of reaction of us doing it). Football is incredibly expensive as it is, especially if you're paying for family/friends aswell. Seems unfair that home fans get a nice discount whilst they stick 2 fingers up to away fans.

You're allowed to do it a certain amount of times a season

 

[markwwfc1992]

I know it's allowed, just think it's bullshit. I think you should pay the same whether you're a home or away fan.

It takes 2 to make an atmosphere. Was shocked how quite the Cardiff home support was. To think this was once one of the most intimidating places to go. It's no different than any other new pop up stadium.

You serious? Don't pretend you weren't intimidated.
