You forgot to mention that you were there on a Saturday afternoon, and Rovers played them on a Tuesday evening.

You're right but two weeks previous we took 900+ to Exeter on a Tuesday night

Hi Shaun , 

booked hotel quickly on booking .com then Let flights stew for a week or 2 to see how much they fluctuated and they didn’t drop so nailed them on easyJet website.

most German clubs will have translated English version of their websites so it’s easy to book tickets .We picked Hertha as they only sell out against Bayern, Dortmund, and Berlin so tickets are easy to get. Once purchased they are sent straight to your email as print at home. Voilà. 

Sounds straight forward and many thanks for sharing.

Shaun, 4 nights hotel, return flights from Bristol and match ticket was £175 and match ticket gives you free train and tube travel so many hours before and after match.  All booked separately by us. It was on my bucket list . I would recommend getting out there if you can , it’s well worth it. 

Wow that's impressive. Did it take you long to book it all up separately and how did you get the match tickets?

I watched the first 30 secs of that thinking Rovers were playing some nice stuff, then I remembered that Carlisle play in blue & white..., first of their "highlights" was a player stumbling into the penalty area and lashing a shot straight at the keeper

I liked the United chants within the first 30 seconds and no sign of Irene

The Bundesliga matchday experience is a world apart from this country. You are treated like a fan not a cash machine. Looking forward to going back next season with hopefully a delve into Poland aswell

That's a very good point about being treated as a fan and not a cash machine and would love to experience a top German match one day.

Shaun , it was taken as Hertha fans had just began to sing their anthem Nur Nach Hause just before KO. Schalke dropped the banner , up went the scarves and off they went. 

It's really impressive and must have been a privilege to be in the stadium.

i also remember when Liverpool played Dortmund away. Total respect all round

I went to watch Hertha v Schalke in Feb 2020 on a Friday night and Schalke brought around 5-6k. for a 4 hr journey. It was impressive when they let the smoke off. 

Cracking photo.....you'll never walk alone!

The trouble is though, they`ll have some big teams with good away support coming to the swamp and will use 2000 Owls or Derby fans to feed the narrative that the blue few are the bestest and most loyal fans in the whole world. 

That's if they let them have that many as they only gave us 700 for the leave game and probably be similar if we played them in the play offs

In gas world, 600 is 1000. Keep up!

I ŵas giving them the benefit of doubt!

In 1993 we were losing 4-1 away at Birmingham and won 6-4

It does get exasperating going over the same old ground again and again. The scum constantly cherry pick away attendances of ours (e.g. Barnsley the other week) as evidence we have a crap support, but it gives a distorted view - if you average out our away followings versus theirs ours is better. @Peter O Hanraha-hanrahanhas laid out the stats to back this up several times.

Now, they will say they have a higher percentage who go away but to me all that signifies is how abysmal their home support is. For a team on an annoyingly decent run there have been a lot of gates beginning with a 7 this season.

Their big away support is more than a myth! Last week we took 1050 to Crawley that's all they gave us but Gas only took 600 a few weeks earlier

Why don't you get a half and half scarf made

At least it would have a robin on both ends

Elliot Anderson's dad was celebrating his 50th birthday with some mates, hence the Geordie contingent in the away end.  Local day out to see his son play, nothing more than that. 

So would the 59 Geordies have bought their tickets from the BRFC site or pay on the day. If it's through the website then Rovers only sold 600 if it's pay on the day that would make 700 in that photo

He likes teams that are based in the back of beyond doesn't he?

Sorry, I never realised he managed your lot. I meant, Hull, Southend, Preston, some team in Hyderabad and now Barrow.

I think he done ok here considering he was working for a parasite of a chairman and as for Barrow its a strange job as they have a fanbase similar to FGR and a ground that has has many stands as the swamp so no real chance of progression.

Horrible journey, I had to go there for work once, you basically pass it on the other side of Morecambe bay going up the M6, then have to drive back down the Furness side. 

I see Phil Brown Is manager there now

Well I was right about not playing Barrow in my memory, or anyone else still alive by the look of it! We have never played them at their ground.

 

It's that far away it may as well be in Scotland!

17 minutes ago, Port Said Red said:

We have never been to Barrow in my memory, but there have been dark days when we would have had lower figures than that. But then there have been days more recently when they couldn't scrape together 3 figures worth.

We sold out the 600 tickets Barrow gave us but Rovers are supposed to be the team with the massive away following!

Season before with the JET hat trick we hadn’t won a league game for 7 months and we were bottom of L1.

Rovers are a small club but their fans have delusions of grandeur about their support. At the same time they constantly slag off our supposedly shit away following. 
So no, by the standards they claim for themselves it’s not pretty good especially when it’s only half what we took in a similar position.

If they didn’t spout shit and lies people like me wouldn’t mention it.

I shouldn’t have to explain this.

They took 295 away to Barrow I bet you've never taken that few anywhere!  I would love to see their average away following this season v yours

I watched the Notts County v Chesterfield match yesterday and it was an entertaining match. Skill levels not always there, but entertaining all the same. 

Cracking atmosphere 

That National league is really tough this season with Wrexam & Stockport throwing big money at it but fair play to Halifax & Solihull for hanging in there

After the Fewers had played Plymouth (who I believe adopted it first as a terrace anthem).

It's not even theirs then!

I can't see any misbehaving by the ball boys
