Our Away Support

Post by Shed on tour » Tue Dec 08, 2015 5:08 pm

Ticket sales for the next 2 away games look good.

So far: 2,715 sold for MK Dons match (not bad considering it is on Sky) and 1,847 for Fulham away next Tuesday. As I'm going to both games you know who to blame if the results go against us, Mick not Me!!! :lol:

I'm off to MK Dons as it's a new ground for me. Looking forward to it especially after my last away game at Rotherham.

That is some impressive figures.

Not sure of the capacity of the Milton Keynes arena, but with that number we're going to maybe take up a good percentage of the crowd. Seems strange that more will be going there than Fulham, but hopefully the team can put on another display and send fans back home with value for money and three points (on both occasions) for the club.

If the Fulham game had been on a Saturday I'm sure we would be taking a lot more there. I think well over 4,000 went last year.
As for MK Dons no doubt for a lot of people it will be their first visit there but even so still impressive numbers.

I was impressed with the stadium when we played them in the League Cup a few years back.
Cushioned seats and plenty of legroom. Hopefully the result will be different this time though although we did only lose on penalties.

Does anyone know if you can pay at the gate on Saturday?

Although it's live on Sky it's only an hour or so down the M1 for me, and a ground I've not been to before.

Does that help mate?

It says you can buy tickets right up until kickoff.

I was just about to put that on..

Yes as their website says apparently tickets are able to purchase on the night. They did that for two previous games involving say 'less relevant fixtures' so it should go ahead as before and turning up on the night, you should be able to gain entry without too much hassle.

Don't know if it was just me but thought the cost of adult fees were a little overpriced maybe.

Looks marginally cheaper than Portman Road ticket prices.

Should be a good game but slightly annoyed at it being a lunch time kickoff. Early leave from Ipswich zzzz.

Oh damn, I'd forgotten it was a lunchtime kick off, no time for a pre match drink and the atmosphere build up, maybe a re think.

I am looking forward to both these games, MK Dons will be a new ground for me and if Fulham is anywhere near as good as last season it will be a great atmosphere. Our away support is fantastic and I enjoy these games far more than at Portman Road.

Getting the results is obviously a massive bonus, of that there is no doubt. But really hoping you all enjoy these away games, festive season etc etc, remembering it is just a game and take in the atmosphere and enjoy time spent with buddies. Good times.

Take me for example, just had text from son saying he has the tickets for Hibs v Rangers @ Ibrox on 27th. Win, lose or draw, doesn't matter, just going to enjoy the occasion.

All of the above is 100% honesty......., apart from the Hibs part......, MUST defeat those Glesga bstds! :D

Spot on marko.
I always have that attitude when doing England aways, as usually they are fantastic trips with great people and the only disappointing bit is the 90 minutes of football. :wink:

I agree too, for me the social side is as important as the Football, away days are great for meeting up with people new and old and the atmosphere pre game in the pub and during the game is second to none. I honestly think that is why fans who don't get to go to games for whatever reason seem to get more frustrated/angry when we lose as they don't have this part of the experience to soften the blow of poor results.

I think the atmosphere at MK would be so much better if they completely closed the upper tier like they used to.

I just find Milton Keynes such a sole less place, almost artificial. I certainly won't be hurrying back there unless it's a very important game...
