QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Whichever way you look at it certain teams are killing the games by reducing away followings, forest and Birmingham have both given us reduced allocations in recent years and they average gates under 20,000 it’s just a waste. As we know at Derby a good away following can bringthe best out of the home crowd. The rules are probably a little bit dated? When you have 40/50,000 capacity grounds in the second, 2000 is far too small. Boro are getting 500 less at Villa than we got, I highly doubt thel be sold to home fans thel just throw a net over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would argue that it's nothing without their Sky Sports income. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care - nothing beats it. if we get on top of them like Cardiff and Barnsley - we can be the 12th man. income side - well hey I do note however that Fulham are only charging £19 to go to the second leg - which IMO is a jolly good show !!

I totally agree with you - but I think the actions of some clubs limiting away fans says otherwise. Even home fans are in the habit of chatting about other scores and checking their phones every two minutes instead of watching the game in front of them and getting involved. Going to football has become a very passive occupation for many. I hope everyone leaves their phones in their pockets and roars on the team on Friday!

Sweetness34 Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 I don't mind the away membership existing but would have thought you can only buy it if you have a season ticket. It is strange that someone who potentially hasn't been to a single game all season could get priority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To buy an away membership you need to be a ST Holder or Home Member, £39 for the home then £49 for the away. Doubt many would have paid that not to go to a game all season.

Forest have only done what we have, put their fans behind the goal and stuck the away following in the corner with a reduced number. 2000 is more than enough for us, our away average is well off of that number. It's only Forest and the big games like this where everyones out of the woodwork for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4ev6is Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Yep We have season tickets as well we payed extra money for away membership so it is fare been to loads of away games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestKentRam Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Well I think this is most unfair. My trip to a home game is further than that for the furthest away game (at Norwich) for Derby fans living in Derby. Therefore I have put in more effort than those who have just sauntered along to a dozen away games and I deserve a ticket. Toys thrown out of pram. Boooo!!!!!
