uttoxram75 Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Chester (at Mickleover Sports) and FCUnited (at Matlock Town) both had similar numbers of away fans as Middlesbrough today. Considering Boro have a great chance of making the play offs (and have been up there all season), its maybe a sobering fact that football fans are turning to the grass roots and are fed up with the Sky/big money greed that is ruining our national sport. Just a thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastKentRam Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Both Chester and FC United are big clubs at there level, plus they're both doing well. How many did Boro bring? They've normally got quite good away support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamOfKansas Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 People in America always complain about the greed corrupting collegiate athletics here, claim they will start following lower levels of collegiate athletics rather than the big boys. They never actually do that. This is just an average matter of fans supporting their smaller team. However some smarter people see problems, the masses will never go to watching grassroots smaller clubs. Everything is funneling towards ignorance of lower levels of play in favor of only following the big boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 They were pretty loud. Their stadium only tends to get 18/19K but alot of it is die-hards. I was talking to my uncle's boro mate who was saying that what they lack in numbers they gain in passion. which pretty accurately described the away support today.

Mr Tibbs Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Decent numbers for that level. 1300 odd Boro fans at PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted April 14, 2012 Author Share Posted April 14, 2012 Chester fans were saying they were bringing 900 to Mickleover. FC United were expecting 1200+ at Matlock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Both not that far from each other, saying that we aren't far from Leicester, Cov etc but struggle to take over 1000. Fair plat to 'um! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 FC United lost to Matlock I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hucknall Ram Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Correct 2-1 Matlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RotherhamRam Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 May be its the cost of the tickets. Some football fans like to watch a game with their mates have a drink after the game etc. Lets be honest can't see the likes of Matlock charging 25-30 quid a game.

CumbrianRam Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 How many did Boro bring? They've normally got quite good away support. Just over 1,300, we took just over 900 to Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Just over 1,300, we took just over 900 to Boro. And we still sing "Is that all you take away!"
