Numbers wise .
I am not knocking the fans that travel and spend lots of money I take my hat off to them
Just our support away seems to be the least in the premiership.
It maybe me but we seemed to have more traveling in the Championship. [Post edited 19 Sep 2016 18:53]

Our support is dwindling but the novelty of going to the big clubs is over, the scramble for Man U and Liverpool the first year was enormous, now if you want to go, you'll go, at £20 a ticket it can't be price sensitive |  | | |

In all honesty if you ask long-time supporters the chances are most will tell you that away days in the Premier are nowhere near as much fun as they used to be in the Championship or League 1. |  |

Why would you spend an arm and a leg to watch that shyte that our team came up with yesterfday? |  | | |

Considering what was going on on the pitch the support sounded class yesterday. |  |

Geography plays a part in this. I know it's slack, but I'd go more often if away games were a tube ride away. | | | |

I wish we'd give it a rest with singing songs about Iceland/Iceland clap (and the Euro 2016 songs in general). F*cking tedious it is. |  | | |

It's good fun. Especially on the lash, when nowhere near a football match, and for no reason what-so-ever. | |

Travel's the killer on away games, not the ticket prices. I think we have the longest overall travel distances of any PL club too if I remember correctly. Add in the stupid kick off times for many games too and it's no wonder people are turned off.
It would be interesting to see some stats though - we always have decent turnouts to the away games I go to . |  | | |

We're in there in the bottom half which is understandable with the distance
Places like Newcastle and Sunderland where we are up in the gods is a thing of the past, clubs have to put away followers pitchside | | | |

Figures that you have no concept of support. We were shyt for twenty years and still had a few hundred folks who went away and took their medicine.
Hopefully if we do go down cnts like you will fk off. [Post edited 19 Sep 2016 13:48]

Sunderland filled all the away section of WHL yesterday for a 4 o clock game on Sky.
They are in the bottom half & Sunderland to London is a distance.
Everton filled the away section at Sunderland (up in the gods) on Monday night
So Id say your reasoning is incorrect. |  | | |

For a while now I've been standing there, at away games, grimacing at the same old loop over and over again.

I know many who love a weekend in Newcastle but won't go because they are a quarter of a mile from the corner flag, others take binoculers, my reasoning is not incorrect but an opinion, the fact that away fans won't have to be up in the gods and pitchside is a bonus
Everton are rightly proud that they have one of the best away following in the country | | | |

Apart from the performance, yesterday was a great day out. Great trip on supporters bus with nice spot of food in Winchester
The sun was shining, they had a jazz band playing out the front of the stadium before the game.
The stewards were extremely friendly, the staff serving drinks etc were very polite and efficient and hardly any queues.
Great example of how to treat people at a football game. |  |

With good road links the travel distance from Sunderland to London is 3hrs 39 mins. Just 40 mins longer than the time it takes us to get to West Brom, our closest fixture. |  |

It has never taken me 3 hours to get to West Brom
Our away support yesterday was crap (I agree with lots of the reasons why) but its still crap.
Sunderland at Spurs 4pm on a Sunday / Everton at Sunderland 8pm on a Monday both games on Sky I was disagreeing with a poster on his reasoning which I still do.
Anyway most of our newbie fans love a trip to the Emirates, so no doubt it will be a sell out. | | | |

1300 is not too shabby, we are a small club whether some of our fans like it or not | | | |

Kidderminsters food.... |
Was that the lad who cooked fresh homemade burgers? Really decent
Think Crawley's was a burger van outside the away terrace doing everything decent and well (but bad for you,) you could want
Been some good food places at the lower league clubs- always put ours to shame.
Possibly excepting Swindon- running out of everything except bread rolls by around HT when it was freezing and p1ssing down!
Our away support has nearly always been noisy- even when it's been less than a 100 we've tried to be heard. |  |

I definitely didn't make our support any better yesterday, i nearly fell asleep in the first half. I put the blame on the excessive boozing that took place on the night before.
That said, there doesn't seem to be many 3pm Saturday kick offs any more for away games. If your going to throw a load of money at an away day, you want to make a day of it and make the most of travelling to another town. That's where the fun's at on an away day. Southampton would have been great for this but it was moved to a Sunday and most of us have work in a Monday. | | | |

If it's not numbers wise it's the noise from our fans, Burnley was good, but Leicester and Southampton was dreadful, been to nearly every away game in the last 3 years, maybe missing 4 out of them all, and can safetly say our fans are on a downward spiral, if we do go down to the championship, it will really seperate the fans and the day trippers, and we might actually have an atmosphere again |  | | |

Same hear apart from the game the whole day out was great about a dozen of us down from London, the added bonus as well yesterday I met up with an oppo I hadn't seen for 26 years, when we both worked together on HMS Cornwall, so that kinda put the footie game in persepective.
I like going to Soton away it's a good trip and a good day out plus did my usual yesterday and fell asleep on train missing my stop |  |
