Where have Sunderland and Preston played where their away capacity is 5000+?

Sunderland had that at Preston

Preston had it at Blackburn

 

[Saddlebrains]

How many points do we get for that,

Ffs. Beat me to it, swine.

What do you tell people who take solace in losing but at least our fans made noise?

If no sod turned up you'd complain!

I’d take a quiet, low following and win over a loud loss.

Remember when we lost 5-0 at WBA but it was celebrated that we sang Twist and Shout for ages?

You have to admit that Sunderland have very impressive support

Fuck Sunderland

Because the fans can't change anything that happens on the pitch so I don't see the issue of making an atmosphere.

Whether you like it or not, fan culture and creating an atmosphere is a big part of football. People take pride in having good support. Not sure why that's a problem.

Yep. Best in the league by some way. Top 10 in the country.

This.

Maybe we should all sit in silence or watch at home on ifollow like during COVID.

I dont believe it until oppositions fans say we were class after they have hammered us.

I don’t disagree. But didn’t you say yesterday it influences the game?

All I’m saying is nobody gives a shit how loud we were or weren’t when we’ve won…

Probably . It can motivate and encourage players, definitely. Can it change results, no.

They do. It's fan culture. I've been to plenty of matches where we've lost but I've enjoyed it because the fans have made it a good time by creating an atmosphere. Hence why I go and don't sit at home watching it on the telly. Atmosphere is a big part of it.

Although I agree, maybe I’m just too superficial about it all. Strangely I enjoyed losing 4-2 away to Gillingham on a Tuesday night. Was there 362 of us that night? I think there has been times a lesser, more intimate crowd has been better than a full away end.

Commend them for having such a positive approach to life!

Crowds in this league are incredible.

It's interesting that they continue to rise home and away despite the huge matchday ticket prices and cost of living crisis.

Mad Plymouth taking 3000 all the way to Leeds. Props to them.

 

[Evo1883]

We've had good away support now since Northampton really .. and it continues to impress me .

Just booked off February for Plymouth midweek

 

[pusbccfc]

Despite having our increased crowd sizes, we're only just above the league's average.

However an increase of over 4000 average is fantastic for the club .

It's Mark robins legacy all of this

Absolutely, but there's an argument to say ours are just increasing in line with others?

The real test will be if we finish towards the bottom this season and Doug charges £450+ for a ST and nearly £40 for a match ticket again. Will those 4000 stay?

Il facetime her

18 years , the day doesn't mean much

 

[Sick Boy]

Glad to see an increase in numbers - 15 years ago we would be taking 500 to Preston considering the run we're on.

However I maintain that away days over last few seasons have been nowhere near as enjoyable as the L2 and L1 seasons. L2 aways were unbelievable

The mini pitch invasions after scoring and the pyro were great in League 2.

Albion are down tbh , I think besides maybe ipswich we've seen the biggest rise in the league .

Meanwhile Jordan Henderson is earning approx. £375k per week to play in front of 600 people.

They've got great support but TBF it's a decent sized place

True population only 50,000 less than coventry

 

[Alkhen]

FFS give it a rest

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

all very well looking at the raw numbers of people turning up but what about our xAtmos?

Strange isn't it, what do we think is driving this increase across the patch? I understand our own increase on the back of last season but not everyone hada similar experience obviously. It will be tested next year when the TV deals come in but I for one hope the thirst for physically attending in person never dies for everyone around the country.

Wow, Plymouth taking 3000 to Leeds! Where did Preston only take 800 odd, when they had over 5k at Blackburn?
