Ah yes, good old Leeds - couldn't sell out their away allocation at QPR last Friday (half a stand empty if you see the telly pictures) & definite drop off in parking around mine as they're unlikely to go up today. Their support is the biggest myth in English football.

Am interested to see how we get on with away numbers next season. A combination of new grounds to visit, suppressed supply with tiny away ends & a fantastic away record meant demand was as high as I've ever seen it this season just gone. Now we've got bigger away ends & a better spread of clubs in the North/Midlands but telly moving kick off times everywhere & inevitable drop off of away form against better opposition. To be fair, I won't miss the panic of trying to book tickets at 10am along with hundreds of others!

Leeds sold out the full allocation of 1,816.

I thought that figure was very low. I mean 26k crowd at 24 home games so less than 1000 pies per match … hummmm . … Warne out ! 🤣

There is 23 home games, so it’s 1,132.7 pies per game 
It’s shameful how some fans manipulate stats to try to get the manager sacked 😉

So my stats are short 7 games worth of minutes and the miles from round trips to Crewe and Nottingham

Did you miss one or miscount, we had 8 cup games, 6 at home and 2 away.

I was wondering that. Surely Bolton would have filled the away end - if the tickets were available!

I don’t know the details but it looks like a petty tit for tat deal with fans losing out.

Two clubs with away ends holding around 5,000 yet both allocations 2,163🤷🏻‍♂️

Bolton sold their allocation within minutes of going on sale.

I'm assuming these stats are just for the league games and don't include any cup games.

Yes League games only.

3,890 miles traveled, and then in small print, in a straight line from Pride park. I wish, plus cup games and friendlies.

Yep. Had mine.

As a ST holder, It's assuming I turned up to every home game (Which I didn't).
Don't know whether they've included my solitary away game (Lincoln).

49 points for me... 53% of the total.
Over 2070 mins.

 

I like the fact that we've sold 26,053 pies whilst I've been at the games... and I don't believe we ever got down to the last one, at any given game! 😁 

That’s exactly the same amount of pies sold while I was there. We must have been entering and leaving the ground at the same time.☺️

Have you had a personalised email from the Club telling you how many minutes of football you've watched, and various other stats from home and away? 

It's a brilliant touch, and a reward for those fans who put in some hard miles.

I won't spoil it for anyone, but read right through to the end! 

Here's a snippet from mine. Not bad for saying I cracked an ankle bone and was in a brace for several weeks mid-season.

I'm bet @Foreveram has a better one though.

How many d'you reckon Florist will give us and at what price?

A few variables there, first they have to go down 🙏

Premier rules are different to EFL, there is a £30 maximum for away fans in the premier , which florist have been charging, no limit in the championship.

Again in the premier league I think clubs are supposed to give 3,000 to away fans subject to ground capacity etc, the dogs were only giving 2,000 tickets to away fans before they went up.

Announced his retirement....

Last seasons thread seemed fairly popular with over one hundred thousand views so I thought I’d try and find out a bit of what we can expect for next season.

As we know, because they told us so, nobody has more away fans than Leeds so I have looked at their away ticket allocations and prices they were charged for the season now ending.

Interestingly they had a reciprocal agreement with a few clubs to set the price for both sets of fans so I have noted this accordingly.

Obviously we don’t know exactly who we are playing yet but I will try and amend this when we have the final tables.

 I have noted the full allocation and adult and over 65 price.

Leeds I have based on what Southampton fans are paying.

Ipswich. 2,000.  £34/ £27

Leeds. 2.018. £47. Cheaper with clubs with reciprocal deals.

Southampton. 2,825. £30/ £25.

Norwich. 2,022. 36/26 reciprocal.

WBA. 2,009. £28/ £23.

Hull. 2,083. £24/ £16.

Middlesbo. 2,571. £29/ £ 21.

Coventry. 2,529. £37/ £32.

Preston. 5,644. £28/ £20 reciprocal.

Bristol City. 3,000. £30/ £26.

Cardiff. 3,213. £21/ £16 reciprocal.

Swansea. 1,971. £34/ £21.

Watford. 2,104. £20/ £10.

Sunderland. 2,000. £29/ £26. reciprocal.

Millwall. 2,008. £32/ £22.

QPR. 1,816. £31/ £22.

Stoke. 2,604. £25/ £19. reciprocal.

Blackburn. 7,337. £30/ £24.

Sheff Wed. 3,869. £36/ £26.

Plymouth. 1,734. £26/ £21.

Birmingham. 2,227. £30/ £25 reciprocal.

Every time there are proposal to limit spending, redistribute wealth, introduce external governance etc, the PL and FA publicity machines go into overdrive. 

Message is this is the best league in the world and we spend so much to keep it that way so hands off!

Is it the best any more?

Our so called best teams are failing in the European competitions to the extent that Germany now has the extra spot in the Champions League. Financial management of teams ranges from incompetent to rule bending that borders on illegal.

VAR whilst of good intent is a time wasting joke the way we use it.

The football is full of diving, fake injuries and boring tactics. Our teams are stuffed full of foreign players of dubious quality and starving home grown players the opportunity to develop and enhance the national teams.

I'm also convinced that skill levels are poorer than they have been for years. Misplaced passes, bad headers, ridiculous shots way off target.

And yet it’s sold to virtually every country in the world.

Not really, everyone that renewed or purchased in the last phase did so not knowing what division we would be watching.  Now that Championship football is guaranteed it is fair to add a small premium imo.

They said there would be a small increase irrespective of which division we are in.

Derby 5 Spurs 0! My first ever match, what a start!

Manchester United away on the day of the Hillsborough disaster. My friend got us tickets via his brother who lived in Manchester, so we were in with the home fans. United fans still had a fearsome reputation in those days, so we were committed to sitting on our hands all match. But when we scored our first I noticed quite a few people sort of launched themselves out of their seats before quickly grabbing themselves back down again, and I though "We are not alone!" We didn't care when the second went in, and there were loads and loads of us!

Brighton play-off semi under Stevie Mac - probably the best atmosphere I have ever experienced, which wasn't matched on Saturday, surprisingly enough. 

Port Vale away, last season, when we scored two in the last moments. I have never seen limbs like it! Brilliant!

I was at the Utd game with my two boys, at that time it was normal to just turn up on the day and pay at the turnstile.

We tried to get in the away end but it was sold out so ended up in the home family area and there were lots of Derby fans in there.

So as far as I can tell, tickets went off sale last Friday and are not available to folks that want them yet? Not a big deal I guess, but a few tickets expiring sounds like a quick update job and doesn't seem like something that should result in the ticketing part of the website being deactivated for days. Is there perhaps something a bit more radical planned with this delay for 'Phase 2' ?

Ride the wave DCFC! Get folk signed up while everyone is still buzzing !

I thought this as well, fans will be on a high at the moment and can’t get a season ticket if they want one.

All the fainthearted went home! 

Those of us that stayed were rewarded with a great moment. 

We stayed over at the hotel at the ground, when we were losing and waiting for the lights to come back on I was thinking this could be a miserable couple of days, all that quickly changed though. 
I did have to keep my head down in Delia’s restaurant that night though 😂

Do I disagree that Brown looks a good player, no.

About bringing through Academy players, you tell me, ay.

I think Browns loan spell has generally been looked on as a success, do you disagree.

That was then, this is now. I think that there have been comments from Warne along the lines of needing to go out on loan and play mens football?

Still, what does he know eh.

Last time I went to Butlins the guy announced “ It’s Chico time “ nuff said.😱

After finishing joint sixth in the Premier League I feel there are now too many entrants in the competition and feel that it should be limited to those finishing in the top twenty.

It’s for the good of everyone.

Yours sincerely etc.
