6,000 to Barnsley?

[El Presidente]

Just been checking on the last match of the season. They normally give 2,000 to away fans, but this can be extended to 6,000.

Suspect could be a binfest if we are in with a sniff of the playoffs.

 

[Simster]

Barnsley is a great last day fixture considering the number of tix they can offer. Only Coventry would have been better IMO. Actually Coventry have already had three away followings of 6,000 visit their ground this season - Leicester, West Ham and Birmingham.

They give even more than that if needed as well. We sold the stand behind the goal out (6k) so they gave us some of the stand to the right of the away end as well, which was about 1,500. It's a cracking away day for that reason, they have some huge tent thing which sells booze quite close to Oakwell too.

Even if it's a do or die game to get in the play-offs we'll take 4000 at best.

 

[Philzo-93]

Would be brilliant!!!

 

[Return of the Rev]

Gonna keep up the away boycott this season,MUST BE THE FIRST SEASON IN ABOUT 40 THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN AWAY!

Yes we will definitely get 7,500 tickets, has already been confirmed if necessary

Cant see more than 4,00 going, its a 12.30PM kick off in Yorkshire - im having to leave on a 5AM train for it and its generally the same from Brighton - could put people off.

Me and at least 6 others going, if points are required to make the play-offs. Will go up on the Friday though.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Shows on there that their highest away attendance has been just over 5,000 from Leeds - shows theres over 3,000 if we take them so id be expecting these for general sale. I would have thought we would get 3,000 at first, then if those sell out then we would be given more.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Isn't it 5760 by Leeds (which makes sense).

Yes, i read the table the wrong way round. Still what i said above would probably happen.

I reckon I might well go whether or not we've got a playoff shout. Train's not horribly long, and quite cheap if you book in advance. Leave Brighton at 6am and get there at 10:40am, plenty of time to have a look around etc... Then train at 3:40pm, get back at 8:15pm. ~£20 each way with my railcard on an advance fair.

 

[Notters]

I'll be going whatever but would've thought we'd easily take 6,000 if it's an important match. The only thing is, the tickets are likely to be on sale before the Brum match and we may not know how important it is until after.

Christ what are you on?
We would take 6k no probs if around the playoffs at that time,i recall us selling out with ease at grimsby(2500) and we had 2k+ without tickets there aswell.

As someone's pointed out 12.30 kick off and it's a long-trek, I just struggle to imagine us selling 6k!

Out of interest when was the last time we sold 6k away tickets for a league match?

When was the last time we was challenging for the prem?we took 5k to port vale even though we was already promoted,this is a diffrent kettle of fish and is simular to the 12k we took to newcastle in 79,the 12.30 kick-off isn't an issue when you're vying for a spot in the prem.

Will there be 6,000 people willing to get up incredibly early and have a very long day ? Would have to be the first trains of the day too, which isnt a bad thing as they are always the cheaper ones. I think we will get a good crowd though, but hopefully we have the play-offs in the bag before this game.

If it is a crucial match there will be at least 1,500 Albion fans who live up north at the game.
