Some may have more of a drop off than us but it doesn't make us any more loyal than other club fans. Some clubs also have bigger fanbases and when Boro were in the Prem with 30k+ a lot of away teams would have been taking a few thousand where as in the Championship clubs will take a couple hundred on a Tuesday night. We're lucky with our location that away fans can make the trip easily.Off topic. Time to dust off the ban hammer, mods, sort out this noob.

Boro's stadium was empty until the last month of the season(because of the prospect of promotion.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Oh, this is just beautiful. Can it go towards a Buxton statue? Or does it need to be players? I was thinking a Buxton hologram that lights up every night on the frontage of the Council House.....Corporation Street would become more famous than Coronation Street.

Ambitious Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Academy player or loan would be ideal. James Maddison at Coventry, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsy Ram Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Give it to the 1884 group. That's a life time supplies of flags. Or build a giant batman like beacon for Buxton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 A nice gesture from the club would be to divide the winnings between each of the season ticket holders - it equates to around £11 each. That would buy a few pints per person before the first home game, or they could buy a nice new scrave if they so wished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Define loyal fans because it wasn't long ago we was taking under 500 to away games, only since Clough went did the attendances start to riseso your definition of a loyal supporter is one who regularly goes to away games? That rules me out then (even though I had my first season ticket back in the late. 70's and have attended ever since including several dire relegation seasons) because I only go to 5 or 6 away games a season. I'll hang my head in shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 so your definition of a loyal supporter is one who regularly goes to away games? That rules me out then (even though I had my first season ticket back in the late. 70's and have attended ever since including several dire relegation seasons) because I only go to 5 or 6 away games a season. I'll hang my head in shame. Not saying that at all, I was asking Rammyboy to define what he meant by loyal fans. His reply was to compare our attendances with Boro and what I was getting at is all clubs support goes up and down based on the football played, results and signings. We as a club are no more loyal than any other club then. Individuals have personal circumstances as to why they didn't attend games but if you look above we lost 10k on average fans from the Prem season at home to Nigel's final season. Soon as he left they shot back up, away attendances were as low as 200 under Nigel, now we're taking thousands. All this we're more loyal than other clubs because we're getting decent crowds now is blowing sunshine up our arses, my take on loyalty in football is staying loyal to one club. Not going out buying a Chelsea shirt one minute and Man City the next. Fans talk about loyalty with fans or managers when they leave and then use the loyalty thing to bash other clubs on attendances, makes no sense to me and that's why I asked Rammyboy to define loyal.
