it isn't that bad mortimer - we just need to get people realising that away games are about 10 times more fun than homes... anyway - our away support has definitely picked up this season, no doubt.
[cite]Posted By: oohaahmortimer[/cite]i mean 500 at chelsea is a joke
we successfully boycotted that one.
actually, all true city addicks took advantage of the fact that the city was awash with corporate tickets that day and therefore had no need of paying the inflated prices they charge...a problem jose mourino is obviously becoming acutely aware of and no doubt the reason why he was moved to comment on why most fans at stamford bridge do not seem to be getting behind his team these days...bloke sitting next to me that day was being told the name of the chelsea players throughout the match and what they were trying to do...
unfortunately if you look at our average home crowd to our away following i think only fulham could push us for the worst support(in numbers)....i remember getting an away season ticket for our first year in the premiership.....lol
[cite]Posted By: ISawLeaburnScore[/cite]i think they are probably taking a conservative line, hardly surprising given last season's show - our support was a total embarrassment that day
Spurs away was on TV last season, which may have been a factor.
I wanted to leave at half time last season. it was dire, awful, depressing. tho sausage, tavern and i were kept amused by the w**ker hand signals. i am going again but mainly cos I have relations in town and they are being taken to that game also.

i flat refuse to pay what Chelsea charge.

I'll happily watch it in the pub.

Clubs similar to us also have poor away support.
Wigan, Fulham, Bolton, Blackburn etc
Edit: Leaburn, damn you!

Your right we should have done really... was it the season before when we were 3 nil up on 50 mins and cruising? mind you the last 30 mins were tense!
still had a bit of entertainment with giles and his danny murphy banner towel protest.
how did you do that cross out thing?
I found it more entertaining watching the kiddies play up down at the front.
