I think we would.
Our fan base has always been strange. Top of the table half empty stadium. One off cup game to a big team and everyone fights over tickets.

Wez, I was talking to Carl about it and we both agreed. Suddenly Friday night, live on tv, long distance , season ticket holders/ members only No problem :thumbup:

And yes fans who have never been away would go and parents would want there children to go etc :thumbright:

You might be right, but asking us to take 8,000 Away is asking a lot even if it’s to the biggest club in the UK or world.

Thats a good point. There is a lot of man utd fans around south wales who would massively boost numbers for a game like that.

Derby to manchester is like us going to reading. Only around 1hour 30mins drive. It is around 4 hours for us. That makes a big difference. People in derby could still work friday and go to the game ours would pretty much need the day off

:thumbup: it's not size of game it's the logistics of getting there by 7.45pm that will determine crowd . :old:

Just the little issue of a 160 mile round trip as opposed to 380 mile trip.

Ok Thomas, honestly miles etc I actually never thought that excuse would be brought up.

Luton Town took 8,000 fans to Newcastle and that’s not close at all and Luton only get 8,000 at home on average, League 2 : :thumbright:

We only took 1,200 to Reading when we were Top Two of the Championship.

Wayne, never thought of the miles on this one, but how about Plymouth takes thousands upon thousands away to big games and don’t Moan :lol:

Has our fan base become that bad we look st the miles for even Man United now :lol:

We are talking about Old Trafford where you don’t even think of the miles and just go :thumbright:

I know clubs like Plymouth further away would take 8,000 fans.

Annis question for you what relevance does Plymouth following have to do with following of ccfc totally different clubs totally different fans ect ect! Yes they generally take more away than us and further to travel, but that's upto their fans same as city's so why compare us with anybody else?. :roll:

Wayne, Because you brought the miles in it regarding Derby, I honestly never thought about miles on this one, just the fact it’s Man United / Old Trafford, the lure of just going there with Cardiff City, even Wimbledon once took 7,000 fans there.

You brought miles in to it, So I chose Plymouth as that’s further away :thumbright:

I think pretty much every team takes a lot of fans for big games.
Forest green rovers last year took more people to Wembley for a play off game than the population of the actuall town.

Spot on Thomas and I was just curious to see how many fans thought we would take, I agree with Wez, the fickle/ glory hunters cone out and mileage etc means nothing suddenly and that’s with all clubs.

Re: “ Would We ? “

Sun Jan 07, 2018 9:02 pm

I don’t think we would,everybody knows our support is dropping(for what ever reason).And if it was live on TV we would struggle for 5k.

Re: “ Would We ? “

Sun Jan 07, 2018 9:08 pm

The question is would we get 8k if we drew them at home! :bluescarf:

Re: “ Would We ? “

Mon Jan 08, 2018 8:24 am

I don't think we'd take 8k... Maybe 4/5k max. Our support is shit.
