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)
If we can buy direct from Vale it won't matter what our incompetent club does after the first allocation sells out. Vale were in financial trouble only recently, they will welcome another potential £100,000+ windfall from a 4500 away support.
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 !
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.
I don't think 2000 people could fit on the hillMore 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 !
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 wonder if clubs will start to put prices up for their home games against us.

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