Sorry im not getting at you personally Andy, just this fanbase needs to stop moaning about other teams having rubbish away followings when we dont exactly take alot away most games!! Before i get alot of abuse, ive done Birmingham, Sunderland, Hull, Ipswich, Villa, Man City, Derby and now Bolton, so havent done every game, but 300 odd to bolton is a joke even tho its on a friday night and on TV!!

I do agree. Our away following isnt the best when we are on sky. Me personally...ive only managed 5 away games this season, I just cant afford it sadly. I also agree that we are in no position to take the piss out of other teams away following. Im by no means making excuses....but cost of living down here is incredible. People really just cant afford it. I have at two friends who had to move up north as cost of living was so much cheaper! Back to the football element of it...sell outs away to QPR, Villa and Man City in the last 5 weeks, not to mention extra home times v both Manchester clubs...its been an incredibly expensive time. People are now expected to shell out another £30 a ticket at Bolton? On top of travelling? Its to much pal. It really is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestMidsRed Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I wanted to go but I've just moved down to Bristol and I'm starting a new job tomorrow in Gloucestershire which means I would struggle to get from work to the Reebok in time so I'm gonna have to give this a miss. Gutted really. If it was a Saturday then I'd have gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weepywall Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 I think it's all down to TV, we never travel well when we are on the box for some reason. I'e said before our away support can be very good but also very poor, our average away support is boosted by several large away followings but its' not consistent, 300 to Bolton for a team chasing promotion to the prem is very poor but if it wasn' on TV I'm sure there would be 700ish there even on a Friday night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hampshire Red Posted January 29, 2018 Report Share Posted January 29, 2018 Great post, bound to cause controversy. As Northski says many reasons not to go and the point of the forum is to express personal views ( are you reading xyz - now banned?!) My own situation is I go whenever I can and even more so when on tele as bowing to that excuse alone is to support the edit that's changing English football so much, and like Italy, Spain, Portugal will soon ecumenical a sport for home fans and event-goers only. Our hardcore away support considering team performance is shocking but we have an affluent City whose population love big events like Wembley and Manchester. I dont congratulate those going, it's just a missed opportunity to do what we all love if you don't go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play, 81 is a lot, is that 81 teams currently in the football league or does it include teams that no longer exist/non-league? I reckon I,ve done about 70 but that includes the likes of Stockport, Wrexham, Aldershot etc, also many old grounds I,ve been to but not the new ones, The Vetch, The Victoria Ground, The Baseball Ground etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are many rooms facing the pitch so it could be a hit or miss if I get one but when I booked I really was thinking of hassle free parking and not too far to walk to the away end. I'm now hoping I get a pitch side room to see how they control the issue of free viewing as that would be an amazing deal, room, free match and breakfast for £87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I made the Goldstone twice, we went onto their end in a 1-0 victory in 1980, been to their new one and the Withdean, they also played at Gillingham which I’ve been to although that was when we played the Gills, the club ran a special train that day in a 3-1 victory with Bobby Hutchinson scoring twice, been to any team at 3 different grounds?
