I believe the actual number to be slightly less. 1 Birmingham City 1,471 2 Sheffield Wednesday 1,467 3 Middlesbrough 1,463 4 Cardiff City 1,462 5 Ipswich Town 1,443 6 West Brom 1,431 Those numbers are circa 1500 I'd say.

Edit: Since when do you speak for "all" ? You appear to do this often. So your opinion is that no team sold out despite being presented with definitive evidence that at least four teams did. Since we have no chance of changing that I guess we'll leave it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Portland Bill Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Away support usually depends on how well the away team is doing in the league, at that time. We know that Villa and Newcastle will bring the full allocation, then the likes of Wednesday,Derby, Wolves, Birmingham will probably sell out. Wigan may well sell out because it's the first game, and then the teams we play in the last 5 home games ( depending on league position) may well do the same. If I had to bet on it I would go for about 10 teams selling out next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't see them bringing more than 500 but might be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Son of Fred Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 On 06/07/2016 at 17:19, cynic said: Disproved my own point ? Nonsense. I take the point that the away attendance was limited to 1500 or 1600 which I had forgotten so four clubs in our division next season came close to selling out, but my point stands - imo there will not be more than 3 or 4 teams that sell out their allocation next season, much like last season. The Sheffield and Leeds games are on a Tuesday night next season so, whilst I would expect them to normally sell out its unlikely that they will. I reckon there would be at least four teams that would comfortably outstrip the 2,700 allocation??..without too much fuss surely we could take advantage with another 500\1000 offered if selling well-its all money in the bank,and when we give the attendance over the pa we can say its a 15,000 gate anyway......................

cider-manc Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Whilst there are some that could fill 2,700 -a lot will be down to circumstance and time in the season etc People keep saying Birmingham will sell out.... and they probably will. But isn't our last home game against them? If they are pushing for Auto then there will be Birmingham fans all over the home end... If they have already been relegated by 10 points then they will probably be lucky to sell 1000 in the away end. Cardiff, whilst I would expect them sell out, is straight after Christmas. If it gets made a bubble game or gets postponed due to weather/FA cup fixtures etc it could seriously impact their numbers. Wolves only averaged 200 more than us last season- Proof that if the team isn't preforming their numbers drop. But if the team is even close to sniffing around the playoffs they will travel in massive numbers. What i'm trying to say is that I see both points. In my opinion only 4 teams are pretty much nailed on to sell out regardless of circumstance. Leeds, Villa, Newcastle and Wednesday. The rest are very dependant on how the team is preforming and when the fixture is, but there are 5 or 6 other teams who if in a good place at the time of the fixture, will also take the full allocation.

If one is willing to join in conversations, there is always someone to talk to and discuss the game. Then in time you end up talking to a lot of people Never be ;one;y at Bristol City or any other club or code that you choose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
