4500 seats, lets pack it out, that will make headlines and send waves without pouring any dosh into the hedge fund. This will likely be one of the biggest allocations we get and its not too far , as a side note I think their chairman is also a Sky Blue so I won't mind chucking them a few quid !
If Sky Blues want a show of force it has to be Vale (1 Viewer)

question Ashdown - where is it stated we get 4500 ? - port vale ticket office told me 1500. I know wolves had 4500 but that was because their club asked for them. I cant see our owners requesting the same amount as it somewhat flies in their face to aid those who wont travel to sixfields. ( me included)

Unless they reduce allocation after wolves trouble there yesterday

If early ticket sales go well the allocation will be increased.
Football clubs are very focused on their revenues - well, except one......

This is usual. There was a few times last season that we asked for more tickets.
Can you see our club asking for more tickets than we sell for our 'home' games this season? Maybe they will get the idea soon

You can also pay on the day there normally, but need to buy a ticket before you get to the turnstile. I just hope the idiots they have that have been causing trouble this season don't change this.
I suppose some Vale fans are seeing the step up in Leagues as a 'challenge' especially when the bigger boys come to town. I would imagine they feel a bit intimidated by 4500 away supporters after League 2. It is largely a deprived area but I don't think they have any problem with Cov. I jumped on a train coming back from MK last year with just my mate and we found ourselves in the middle of about 50 Vale fans coming back from Dagenham, they were fine to be fair and we ended up having a drunken natter with them , it was then one of them told me their chairman was a City fan at heart!

I agree we need a show of force but it has to be at Sixfields, on the hill.

Why? Would it get noticed?
To me the one thing that would get noticed would be having an away support bigger than our 'home' support.

When are Vale tickets on sale anyone?

More on the hill than in ground would be better, large away support is unusual.
I'm sorry, people are free to choose but I'm not standing on some windswept hill when my team are playing 400 yards away. The temptation would be to watch the match if I've made the effort and spent the cash to get to the dump in the first place and I won't do that either!
4500 Sky Blues behind that goal at Vale will only be equalled by Wolves this season, lets do it and support the team !

My thinking as well. Not decided on the picnic yet, will probably go, but in terms of ongoing action yesterday proved to me that away games are our best weapon. Show the world we're well supported, air our feelings in an arena that is guaranteed to make TV in some form, and have the bonus of helping the club pick up some points, which is what we all want.
Haven't the Trust done designated "back the boys" campaigns for away games before? Would love to see this sell out and I think a few who missed Shrewsbury will be extra keen for tickets as well.

Should not be charging more then home fans for similar. Except Sheff U who do and say the facilities are better for the away fans.

I am not sure why the prices would go up? Only the Shrewsbury game so far has sold out, and to be fair it's a localish game on a Saturday.
Looking at the FLS last night, Port Vale fans hardly seem interested in games in this league, Wolves would be a massive game for them yet the home ends looked empty.

I think you'll only see big away gates for localish games. Looking at the map that's 9-10 games plus maybe the London games as its easyish to get to.

I think the average away following was around 900 last season? I suppose any improvement on that, even breaking the 1000 barrier would be decent.

Much as the club would be embarrassed to have 4500 at Vale when they have to give tickets away to get one man and his dog at Sixfields, they would not turn down their commission for ticket sales.
MK Dons to come as well though so lets hope for another 5000 there.

Can we really send 5k to MK Dons with what's going on at our club? Bit hypocritical of us. Sending absolutely no away fans there would be a better statement that packing it out, especially after last seasons attendance there.

Every club has weak fans, we are no different!
We have about 1,000 with no back bone.
