WessexPest Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 I was chatting to a Boro fan a few seasons ago who was complaining about the evening kickoff for Sky given how far they had to travel for an away game. I goes, “Mate, I had a 16-hour round trip by plane to get to this home game so forgive me if I don’t have much sympathy for you.” 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's carry on ripping the piss out of them..... OK. The Sags are priced at 8 to 1 to be promoted.

I think most of us would agree with that. Chanting away “we’re shit, we’re ******* shit, our fans suck, we wouldn’t do this, we wouldn’t do that...” like some demented, 15 year old troll on Facebook doesn’t do you any favours in my opinion. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one near that in away attendances. We are a bigger club compared to most currently at this level and for that, our away support is shite. I don't think you would hear a City fan saying anything different CC87, our away numbers aren't great, whereas the 'massive' up the A38 bang on constantly about their support even though, we, everyone else and themselves know it's distinctly average.

marmite Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 3 hours ago, Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan said: No. I think you’ve completely misunderstood the post. I’ll ask you this question then. Bournemouth are bringing 2500 to AG tomorrow, do you think they would’ve brought 2500 if they hadn’t recently been in the Premier League? I’m not saying that Bournemouth are a bigger club than City, just that their away support numbers are undoubtedly inflated by recent successes. Im sorry if I didn’t spell this out clearly enough for you. The 2500 will make more noise than our 20000 home fans. The atmosphere at AG is dire and has been for a few years now. Its an old argument I know but the away fans must be moved from the Atyeo and our fans placed back there. I'm sure that's a lot to do with our home form. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's a lot to do with our home form. Agree. In fairness you would expect 2500 away fans to make more noise than the home fans at most games. Many times when we’ve had 2500+ at away matches I’ve read comments about us making more noise than the home fans (even when we’ve had less than that). Atmosphere is dire at times at AG though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every person involved in the singing section on this forum complained bitterly about how poor the sound was from the Atyeo when they were in there, now we have people moaning they want to go back? Anyway, going back to the Bradford City away attendance, fair play if they can get close to it but I doubt the team will match the performance on the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sags could only wish for a team as good as that. Tavernier, Flint, Pack, Freeman, Wilbraham (who I assume the sags were hoping Clarke, Pitman and the other aging strikers would be like), Bryan etc that team was one of the best league one teams ever in the last 10 years easily. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's a lot to do with our home form. You say that as if we are some anomaly - whenever there is a decent visiting turnout the home support are going to be hopelessly outsung. There’s been debates about how to improve the atmosphere at SG since time out of mind. This isn’t a phenomenon that has sprung up from refurbishing the stadium, nor even going all seater. Our ground has never been known as a cauldron of noise - the fact we remember games like Man Utd, Palace, Hartlepool, Chelsea, Liverpool, the Gash in 1991 or 1993 is because those times when the ground has been absolutely bouncing have been few and far between. Our 2000ish easily outsang Reading and Cardiff this season - what should they do to address their abysmal atmospheres - relocate to Elm Park and Ninian respectively? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatchers Posted October 16, 2021 Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 From todays match program..1984 the last game of the season, Chester away. "A 3,000 strong travelling Red Army saw Morgan put CITY ahead just just after the half hour." City were in the basement, not bad for Chester away in the basement league. I wonder how many other teams have equalled that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also they sold out Exeter away , the away team are given a max of just over 1000 Tickets after Segregation. My point is.... we're not in League Two so there is no comparison other than distance.

I don’t really think the league matters, it’s more so the form. We took 5000 to MK Dons in League One when we were flying high. I doubt we’d take 1/3 of that to Watford if we were bottom of the Prem.
