To be fair, we were capped at 500 for Bristol Rovers, were a couple of hundred off selling the paltry 1,000 we got for Cheltenham, near enough sold out the 1,400 for Northampton and we took 1,000+ to Wigan despite it following the Pboro/Oxford horror shows. We've got plenty of games to come that are closer and/or with bigger allocations to bump up the average Edit: yep, doesn't help that we've no properly local games this season. Nearest being Derby/Bolton
I’m guessing we will sell out once this season at Fleetwood.Maybe Blackpool if we’re near the top at the end of the season.
I would love to know the official away followings for each fixture cos if those averages are true. Total 3152. (4×788) Northampton 1390 official, our site Cheltenham 762+ official, their site Leaves 1000 for Bristol and Wigan combined total ? I dont think Bristol sold out. (We did get additional tickets for seating the disabled after the uproar) But would have thought 1000+ Wigan.. Doesn't ring true to me. And if ours is wrong. More than likely others are. Wigan shenanigans maybe.
Blackpool is the last away game of the season, if there's something to play for a play off place or automatic promotion we would sell out no problem we took 3k there under schopp. Away following are always better when the football is good and we're winning look at last season. Problem is we've been hit and miss so far.
After 4/5 games ? Far too early to take any notice of that, different distances are going to make a big difference anyway.
If we are promoted or could be on the day it could be like when Sunderland went there on new years day a few years ago, took around 7k and drank the bars dry over a couple of nights.
Its got potential to be a great away day last game of season, weather should be decent, seaside town, promotion? Sadly from what I've seen so far it's just the last one that's the problem.
Got my ticket Tuesday still plenty left from first allocation personally think be 500 maximum been midweek plus Exeter 4 days later
