Dannyctid said:Our away support is no worse than most other teams. I think when we were shit we just went to have a good time and a win was a bonus, now the expectations have increased and if we don't finish fourth the sky will fall in. We as fans are expecting more from the team.
I haven't been to as many away games as I would have liked this season due to lack of funds. I know plenty of other people in the same boat and this has had an impact on some attendances. Sunderland away for example was not one that I was willing to fork out cash for when there are bigger(better) games coming up. It's alright saying it was only £27 a ticket but as you all know going away you need a lot more than that to get there and have a few beers etc.

I wouldnt take much notice of what you read on here, I go to most away games and 95% of the rubbish written after every away game is just people being drama queens. The atmosphere hasnt been great which is true, but I have often read about the 'disgraceful' behavior of some of our fans on here after a match and am actually shocked they were at the same game.
The atmosphere in the pubs and in the concourse is always good, its just when you get to the seats there seems to be too many who aren't interested in singing (which is completely their choice). You get the odd game like Blackburn and Scunthorpe when everyone seems up for a good day out, but they are becoming rarer. The profile of the average fan has changed, there are a lot less lads and more women and middle aged blokes.

An away day can be a great day out, having a beer and a good sing-song throughout the game. There's still plenty of that, but something's different. Its great being part of a 'blue army' on their travels, but I can do without the morons singing Munich songs, using washbasins in the loos as urinals, spending the entire game staring at the home support and 'offering out' someone who's fifty yards away and behind a fence. They pay their money so I guess in many respects can do what they like, but that's not for me. Maybe its always been like this and I just notice it more now, but we don't seem as vocal as we used to be.

From a period of five to ten years ago we used to sell out everywhere we went, the atmosphere was great and I used to revel in the fact that we had a good natured, boisterous away support as good, if not better, than any other in the country.
Over recent years, our away support has declined to a point that it rarely sells out away days, the banter and camoradorie has gone and the people seem to have changed. The banter is no longer friendly and there is a nasty feel to it all. Some of the cretins that follow us on the road are nothing more than sub-humans.
Recently, money has prevented me from travelling to most away games but I don't miss them like I thought I would. This is not simply due to the fact that, by and large, we have been crap away from home over the last three years, it's because of the degeneration in the calibre of away supporter following us.

You sure about that? Id say almost all our away games this season have sold out.
