What's happened to our away support

As results hopefully improve games will sell out for sure.

Fingers crossed. Last thing we need is numbers to drop leading to the club taking only the lower tier at Everton which is bound to be incredibly popular.

Surprised Forest went to general sale, thought that would be quite a popular one. Good opportunity for those lower down the ladder though.

Does make me nervous that we might start taking smaller allocations though. 

2400 for a midweek in winter is still pretty good tbh.

 

Ipswich and Chelsea next, which we should take the maximum, the acid test will be Liverpool at the beginning of March. Hopefully it remains a 3pm kick off.

Forest is sold out (just under 3,000), a few days after travelling up to United on the Thursday night. Support is very good for home and away league games.

Booking a ticket in the new safe standing Northam for the first time, which block is the one for chanting? And are people lower down still choosing to sit or is everyone standing?

Whole end stands

Middle blocks probably best for constant singing

Living in Nottingham, I was surprised but happy to be able to get general sales tickets for this. First game I've been able to get tickets for this season. Hoping we're a bit more competitive by then and beat the stupid tricky trees. Would be great to be able to laugh at my work colleagues in the event of a rare win to the Saints.

3 away games in a row made general sale. Reduced allocations coming soon I suspect.

Genuinely surprised about the fact they've made general sale, surely people are building their numbers up as there's the game at Goodison that'll be really popular and obviously next season a potential away at Fratton

I'm already thinking about next season getting 1000 allocation at Kenilworth Rd, 1200 at Wrexham, maybe 1800 at Wycombe, need to keep those away games up! 

[Football Special]

I reckon with our relegation confirmed the club will come to some agreement with Everton where we just get 1200 upper tier tickets to allow more Evertonians to be there for the emotional farewell

Yeah there's a fair few smaller allocations in the champtionship next season, and no doubt people will be squinnying when they don't qualify.

Not that i'm going to complain if people drop points as it helps me in the long run. I am alright, jack.

Ipswich is bus replacement service. If you want to train it, will be a horrendous journey to watch a load of shite.

Bus replacement is only about 20mins if you do the tube to Newbury Park instead of getting the train from Liverpool st.

Train to waterloo, tube to newbury park, bus to Shenfield, train to Ipswich. Adds about 35mins extra to the journey so nothing too bad.

Yeah I am a bit too. Will be interesting to see how Chelsea goes as a London game albeit midweek.

Not too bothered though as keeps me near/at the top of criteria, be shit for others if we don't get a full allocation at Goodison though.

Yep all most guaranteed we will only get the smallest allocation. 

I keep looking on the Everton website to see if it’s already been decided -but no news yet of the final game at Goodison 

Remember Man City also only gave us a small allocation for the last game at Main Road .

Hopefully in the interest of fairness they give priority to those of us who were there for the 7-1 defeat in 1996 

That Man City allocation was funny, Rupert Lowe made a formal complaint and we got £10 tickets the following season for the new ground

I feel quite invested in the championship relegation battle, if Oxford stay up that will be another localish game with small allocation (1400), now Rooney has gone Plymouth might make a go of it also small away end (1600) 

Looking forward to it 👍🏻

Also won that, 3-1, Pahars crossed for Beattie to bullet in a header after Anelka missed an early one on one, IIRC Phillips scored twice second half. Our chant of ‘we scored the last goal at Maine Road’ did NOT go down well….

Great day out, City fans were resigned to the drop in the pubs and down on Keegan. Little did they know what was ahead…

'Pedant alert' moment, but I think you've confused 02-03 (last at Maine Road, finished 1-0 with a Michael Svensson goal) and 03-04, which was exactly as described.

8th in the league and the FA Cup Final... An impossible dream now. 😪

...in the Gene Kelly stand...and unsurprisingly we got wet. Brilliant end to the season though.

02/03 was last game of the season before the Cup Final - as you say Michael Svensson winner - and last game at Maine Rd - and 03/04 at Etihad which was the 3-1. I was there for that one.
