19 away, 19 home. It's bang up to date

 

[Adge]

We are top of the home attendances. With 4 games to go we should remain there, big crowds in the last 1 or 2 if we need results

I wonder if we make the playoffs will there be an offer to get the Ricoh full say £10 or £15 a ticket. Not sure at the current prices and baggage etc that we would get much above 15,000.:emoji_thinking:

Don’t remember anything at Rochdale?

To be fair, I’m going back maybe 3 seasons, we lost, I think 1-0, and at the end of the game our players were badly abused by a sizeable minority of Coventry ‘fans’.

 

[smileycov]

We're still behind Luton and Lincoln in the away averages. It's unlikely that we'll overtake them as Lincoln have their big following to the Ricoh and Luton have Notts County on the last game of the season.

Tbf we may do, we should be taking 1k+ for all remaining games. We are heading towards 3-4 k at county, lincoln won’t bring more than 2-2.5 on a Tuesday night. Especially if they drop out play off picture which is likely now. Luton May take a good following to Notts but I personally don’t think so. Be great to top both fans tables

 

[smileycov]

It will be interesting to see how many Lincoln take to Wembley in the Chekatrade Trophy final

As of yesterday they had sold 26k Shrewsbury just over 9k. Wonder if we would beat our 44k if we had a play off final?

It helps that because of the smaller allocations people buy tickets sooner and it gets the ball/dare I say bandwagon rolling and others rush to buy

Just think how we'd do with a smaller home ground then...

Shame most the grounds just cannot service or cater for a large away following when coventry come to town.

Has taken up to 30/40 mins queuing for a beer at some grounds. Barnet and fgr was just ridiculous.

Trouble is I guess they recruit for the norm and not the exception and 1200 at Barnet is a huge difference from the normal 300/400 they probably get. Saying that don’t clubs have casual staff etc they can draft in? The Barnet set up was actually quite impressive just too slow. As for FGR that is in desperate need of modernisation.

Never even bothered trying at FGR. The surprising one for me is MK Dons, brand new shiny 30k seater like that and it takes an age to get in and you have no chance of getting a beer at half time unless you start queuing up after 25-30mins.

Fgr was ridiculous. 2/3 persons in a hut trying to cater for 1500 fans. Even then the queue for toilets merged with queue for the one hut in corner.

Queing in the rain. Only plus point was you could almost watch the game whilst you queued.

Mansfield away was ridiculous.

FGR was 991 not 1500

 

[Londonccfcfan]

FGR was 991 not 1500

It was 989, my 2 cousins couldnt mate it if you want bo be exact. Still 3 persons in a hut trying to cater for 1k persons is ridiculous.

Same thing at most grounds.

When Morecambe turn up to fgr then 3 persons in a hut is more than adrquate.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

I need 3 persons assisting me at a family bbq with dozen folk there!

No need for the dickhead answer is there? You said 1500, no mention of 989 ffs.

 

[Londonccfcfan]

Just saying generally the the grounds at this level just cannot cater when Cov come to town or for taht matter luton or lincoln. Thats one thing i wont miss when we get out of this division.

The 3 persons in a hut caters very well when morecambe, accrington, crawley, stevenage, fgr, colchester, go away.

I still don't think its right and when i can be arsed i'll work it out myself, its just some guys blog nothing official. Having a quick look i can't see any game where they took more than we did. For example we took over 1K more to Acc Stanley than them.

It would depend on the opposition, if it was against someone like Exeter then I can't imagine they would take that many (don't know how many they took there last season) which would hopefully free up extra capacity

20K apparently.

is it me or has our away support dramatically improved over the last 15 years .
I’ve been travelling away with city almost every game for a few years now and it feels like it is .
Some serious numbers taken to a lot of places in recent years , and becoming known throughout the football league as having “big” away support .
One video on YouTube even ranking us in the top 8 in England in regards to how good the away fans are
Even Talksport mentioning our terrific away support on the back of mentioning our poor home support

Don’t remember it being this good even towards the end of the PL tenure

Thoughts

You got a link for the youtube vid?

The bloke that does it puts a lot of effort into it. It's definitely correct.

He gets official figures from all the clubs/supporters groups etc. Does the table for all EFL clubs, tbf puts a lot of time and effort in. Very respected on the football fan forum, our support numbers suffer purely for the lack of numbers allowed into other grounds. Still think we will finish top imo though

 

[ps1948]

Have to say that if the figures are correct, then big respect to Lincoln. We are lucky, given our location, that most games are fairly accessible, but Lincoln have a lot more travelling, although Mansfield and Notts County are pretty local to them

I get your point though....but
They actually have a lot more closer games than us ie localish derbys
Chesterfield, Notts, Mansfield, Grimsby are very close.

What our closest Fixture? Cheltenham?Swindon or Crewe?

Yes but would Luton fans go in the away end at their ground?
Bloody shit hole only had about 10 pies ran out of everything and then had to put more on that wern't ready until 15 minutes after half time.

Out closest away ground is the Ricoh

Nottingham surely

 

[Astute]

I said ages ago that we'll probably be beaten to away averages by those 2 as they'll both bring 3k+ to the Ricoh and both only gave us 1k each.
But that said, I doubt either team sold out FGR or took 1k to Carlisle on a freezing day or sell out the majority of away games in a day. And neither team would sell as many for Wembley if play off finals are needed for any team!

1k to Carlisle?

Easy to get to as only 1 road away.
