York tickets

[loan_star]

350 sold online for tomorrow apparently, just seen a post on Facebook about it.

Reckon we could take a good 7/800

Not so sure mid week out of town now so 500 tops

Or more convenient for people to drive to, no street parking issues. A chew for the train users though.

Well I will have 6 at the game and we haven't bought tickets in advance, so I think 700 to 800 is far more likely.

[My opinion]

I have said it before so will say it again.
I wish other clubs (including those who think they are much bigger than Darlo) would bring to us as many as we take to their grounds.

Was saying the same Saturday, some of the away followings like Blyth, Spenny and York are quite poor compared to the home crowds.

I thought it might be because they dont favour the away end at Darlo but we were on mostly flat stand at Spenny and it didnt stop our support.

Would really help the finances, York will be rubbing their hands tonight.

When you look at it we are the exception rather than the rule in terms of proportion of away fans to home crowds.

It would need a proper survey to find the reasons but hypothesis around age / historic necessity to travel and preference for away games over home games would be a starting point.

We used to have a section of fans who were pretty much in it for the away day only, didn't attend home games and barely made it into away games standing up straight, I have absolutely no idea if they are still going strong though.

Any idea how many we have sold to date, I know quite a few are buying on the day. Tried to buy another ticket today on line but doesn't show North stand as an option for some reason?

Hope it is a good showing, and we are vocal, team will need it.

Plenty of other club supporters do this. You just need to look back a couple of weeks to the Chester game.

Yep 100% but proportionally we have a higher away crowd than home crowd so where is that differential coming from.

How much of it is down to historically lots of fans always did 'northern' away days...and since we have been in a regional division there just happens to be more within the distance they are prepared to travel.

Being an ex league club darlo will have exiles all over the UK so id imagine that would reflect on away following... For example im based just outside Cardiff so i will be at Hereford next week but haven't been to a home game for years unfortunately. Im pretty certain others will be the same

North Stand could be sold out which would be good news?

Same here k-c, make most of the North West games but rarely venture over the pennines, as I'm often reminded by my "friends"!

Yep, there is a big Darlo diaspora all over the country. People move away from small towns and cities and head towards the big smoke for work/education etc. So you end up will Darlo born folk all over the place. Whereas fewer people are likely to leave London and the South East and head to Darlo to seek their fortune.

And even crazier, ones like me who have no connection with the town and never lived nearer than Warrington!!

I've no real connection with the town, nearest connection ive got is being born on the army camp at Catterick. Ive been brought up to support the nearest club to your birthplace. Would never change clubs now regardless of which league we play in. Only down side is not getting to many games unfortunately

Ive no connection to Darlo at all, was born in Manchester and been a City season ticket holder for 40 plus years.

As Darlo were a league club I wrote off for autographs as a kid and Darlo not only sent a printed sheet but also a set of programmes so I decided they would be my second team.Never grew out of it.

First match as a teenager was SWFC away LC 1975, 0-2 win.Sinclair scored, was my hero.

[don'tbuythesun]

And now Curzon et al, who would have thought that when the crazy decision was made?! What a journey.
