Stickied League One Away Support Thread 2023/24

[blademan89]

The only way you'll get the whole RRE is if you sell the initial 3200 in double quick time, and then the remaining 550 just as fast. We will then make a decision depending on whether there's a realistic demand for a further 800 in which case you might get stuck in the home end. We wouldn't let you have the RRE unless we were convinced you'd sell 4500 with no issue whatsoever

We will sell 4500 before general sale without a doubt at the minute. The 3500 at rochdale sold out before general sale so another month away if things carry on how they are there is potential for 5 or 6k easily for Oldham. When we do well we can match anyone's support but we drop off like fuck if we ain't doing well.

Are you being serious?

There will be easily be a 6K demand from Blades for this game.
I'm no doubt United will gaurantee that 4500 would be sold and pay for them up front.

Do you realise just how pretentious you sound there?
Just because you live in Sheffield and know what demand will be like does not mean that an Oldham fan would necessarily know that there will be a 6k demand for away tickets does it?

Fair point Fish,

Agree with Blademan our away support is historically quite fickle (home support much more loyal and solid) away support is normally decent but nothing special but when we are doing well loads come out of the woodwork and then our away support is impressive. Although there is an argument us taking 6K to Oldham ( only a quarter of our recent home support) is poor compared to Scunthorpe recently taking 2.8K to Bramall Lane (that's over 3 quarters of their home support). It's all relative.

Impressed wiit Grimsbys away support this season. Always have time for the Mariners as I worked with a colleague who was a big fan. He always used to say how you have really passionate proper fans.

selling 3500-4500 is impressive anyway but selling that amount before general sale is very good going. Tbf I would never of thought you would manage to sell that many before it hits general sale.

They will easily, I think people outside of Sheffield fail to realise the passion there is for football in the city and that it applies to both sides of the divide. That's why when we play each other it's such a good Derby. In my biased eyes the top Derby in England, even looking at with less bias in the top 3 imo.

I'm Not blind to Sheffield as a top footballing city and I also like both clubs but that's some going. It's my favourite Derby other than villa blues. I think I've mentioned it before but my grandad rates it the best Derby.

what makes them incredibly loyal?

We are all but relegated?

I could go through the 150 other reasons why they are loyal but everyone has heard them a 100 times before.

it is a shame what's happening to Coventry and I would not wish it on any club. To me that's a standard following for a club like you which imo has one of the biggest fan bases in that league. Shrewsbury is not too far away either. Anyway good luck in the future.

A few years ago Shreswbury away would have been a fixture which would have sold out quickly. Shocked we still managed 650 yesterday. I didn't even bother, first Saturday away game I have missed this season.

Plus a number over in Belgium, how did they get on?

 

[blademan89]

Oldham have now scrapped the initial allocation and given us the whole old away end 4700 in total.

Yeah, we've done the same for Bolton too.

You may very well outnumber us, unless they put a promotion on for us.

Sounded like a success, went well without incident. I think they estimate around 300 travelled in the end, hats off to them - could be a big day in the club's history.

Great numbers, although you won't accept it yet, I think that's it now, promotion a done deal, really hope we don't have a Sheffield Derby next year though.
