BS4 on Tour... Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Yep, i know it was a realtively short distance to travel but this was a game against a high flying outfit who were playing brilliantly at home that season.....and with the away end looking like this we all know the effect it had on the players and the manager and we all know what happened next.....what a day! Estimat vary but it seems generally agreed that we took between 4,000 to 5,000 to Reading that day, awesome! https://twitter.com/awaydays23/status/292344164174143488 I know it's very difficult to get motivated to go away when we are struggling and many people have quite understandable priorities and responsibilities which must take preference over footy..... BUT, that day showed the difference our away following can make. It has dwindled this season - for very good reasons - can we get it back???

chalky Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Picture looks pretty special! If this was the 08/09 season then the OS states we took 4,192... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I think that away following still holds the record for the jetski. I think it was the last time they gave tickets for the whole away end. Incidently, we have not been higher in the league since 4.45 that afternoon.

You could be right although Arsenal seemed to have the full end for their recent cup game when they pulled off that come back.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes could be right. I expect they are forced to hand over a hefty %age for cup games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure we had the whole end last season against but we didn't fill it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderArmyy Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I remember the police filming us doing the bounce.. they looked pretty amazed by it all..best away game i've been to, ever. If we start doing well, whatever division everyone comes out the woodwork. And we can generally get 1000+ each away game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 You could be right although Arsenal seemed to have the full end for their recent cup game when they pulled off that come back.... Yes, the FA cup is different, I think it's 20% that the away team gets. That's why the likes of Everton got the whole of the EE a few years back in the cup.

We took about 4, 500 on our first visit to the MadStad in 99/00, with the whole end plus the corner. I was in that corner. This was Pulis' first game, and the infamous Gerard Lavin incident. .

Libertine Dream Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 This was a quality away day! Remember a reading fan on the radio after, he was quite pissy saying they were bullied on and off the pitch - it was like city were the home crowd it was that loud we shouldn't allow so many away fans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
