Markoasis Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Have the club said which stand we are in? I believe away fans are in the Dallas stand that holds 1800. I suspect being a local derby and with the last few results we will get a good following. A few of us are coming up and are considering to buy tickets to avoid a Bury Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disjointed Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I dont think I have seen anything on the OS about tickets, I intend to buy before as you have already said it could be a good turnout. Beer and a curry in Bradford after the game. What more do you need, apart from 3 points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Could the beer festival have an impact on our numbers? I know a few that are prioritising that over the football! We won't take 1800 in any case. 1000ish. Although I hope that today's atmosphere and our form encourages a few more to turn up. It's a big game and we could do with the support.

A few of us are coming up and are considering to buy tickets to avoid a Bury Presumably it will be the little stand behind the goal. Can't see us surpassing or getting near the 1800 mark. As opposed to Bury where it was obvious that there was going to be more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 (edited) Probably right. Been before when we had the end behind goal and some of the side stand...back when we truly did have top away support.Our away support is still impressive, but that's demonstrated more by longer distance aways. 238 on a Tuesday night to Orient while we're in a relegation dogfight shows that. Large followings like 2000+ at places like Bradford, Rotherham, Huddersfield etc. require competitiveness near the top end of the table, which hasn't happened for quite a while. 4th in the league in terms of % home crowd at aways proves it's class even when we're :censored: and visiting the same grounds for 17 years.

ChaddySmoker Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Remember filling their away end and having the side bit as well when wellens played them off the park basically on one leg Is that the time he or perhaps someone else got sent off?

HarryBosch Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Looking forward to this. I think we'll take 1500+ Yesterday was good, it's an important game, people will have have just been paid , weather might be nice...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankly Mr Shankly Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Remember filling their away end and having the side bit as well when wellens played them off the park basically on one leg Nah. When we had the side bit we scraped a draw under Shez when we reached the play-offs in 2007. The Wellens match we were just behind the goal with Moore as manager. Probably the best single performance I've seen in recent memory (with maybe Harkins vs Posh too) and even then he was subbed at HT with the job already done.

We'd been playing terrible but it was rumoured Sheridan had had the team all week while more had been otherwise engaged. Moore blanked us as him and the players came off to rapturous applause.

NewBlue Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thinking about it, there's a choice of top or bottom tier so where will the standing fans be? And is the view impeded in either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC_Ryan Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thinking about it, there's a choice of top or bottom tier so where will the standing fans be? And is the view impeded in either? The top tier has the better view, I'd imagine most will stand as it's an away game. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thinking about it, there's a choice of top or bottom tier so where will the standing fans be? And is the view impeded in either? Pretty sure we only have the top tier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SavageTheBeast Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Not the best view feels like you're on top of the goal. Don't think you are allowed in the bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I think because we've not played there in a few years a few more people will turn up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Haven't been to VP before and looking forward to it. City mate in tow - does anyone know somewhere near the ground that does food and a telly for the early kick off? FGG suggests Bradford Arms but on Google Maps it's coming up for me as closed...

They did use to have nice cheerleaders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
