6,000 to Barnsley?

Early start as 12:30 KO

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.

Don't forget Palace in that list !

sorry - that says 600 not 6,000 against their name - bad eyesight

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

It actually says Palace 228.

Christ my eyes are worse than I thought !

I have this down as one I will attempt to make prob stay over night before since early ko

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.

Seriously there is nothing to see in barnsley !!

 

[philsussex]

Already got the train and hotel booked for this game

i knew a girl (?) from there once, honestly , one of the most despicable human beings on this planet

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.

It will be a party weekend pal and most will be staying over for a saturday night lash up.Its barnsley not burnley so the travel and kick-off time is not an issue for such a big game

 

[The Wookiee]

Stop over in sheffield anyone ?? Got to be a better night out than Barnsley ?

 

[pottert]

I agree that we may well receive lots of tickets for Barnsley but isn't that looking to far ahead.what about Blackpool on Saturday a very big game then forest the following Saturday (can accommodate a large following) then burnley before trips to west ham & Barnsley.
If we give good support for our next couple of away matches & can achieve good results then maybe the Barnsley match will be meaningless.

Michael Parkinson had better be there otherwise I will demand a refund

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.

I like the table, where did you get it from, or did you make it yourself?

Where are we going to get 6,000 flat caps?

 

[mlg57]

If I've read that table correct, does that mean we have the 5th best away support in the championship? Not bad eh?

 

[kevo]

We had this before - we apparently wouldn't take anything like 6,000 to Anfield because it was a late kick-off on a Sunday...

It all depends, of course. If we need a result to secure a play-off spot, then 6k plus... prob 7.5k if they are up for grabs. Obvs nothing like that if we are already in the play-offs or can't get into them!

 

[pottert]

If this is correct the reading away support is awful.average 774

West Ham away - 14-04-12

 

[HH Brighton]

Truely awful for a team right up there all season. For some reason have never travelled well.

Early start as 12:30 KO

and then on the celebratory sauce at half 2! Or should that be source?
