Between 4500-6000 with the others. Am certain that the United game will probably have been our biggest away following in our history.Valley11 said:What is our biggest away following north of Watford? I know we took 10,000 to Old Trafford for the D:Ream cup game. How many went to Blackburn, Forest and Boro for those big games?

I hope it was a record, I took a week off of work to volunteer to take bookings and help organise the coach travel and often not getting finish the paperwork until midnight. I recall walking into Charlton Bank (Barclays?) with 10K cash and handing it over. Still had to send the wife to queue up for our match tickets for 4 hours along with everybody else too.ElfsborgAddick said:

If we get past this round, I reckon we will have a great turnout. A little compensation maybe after a desperate season so far!1 -
Wimbledon away, Boxing day 1998 - 11,000. Not up north obviously, but still an away following.ElfsborgAddick said:

Which coach station are you coming to? If in town you can walk through to Church Street area and catch a tram from Fitzalan Square. Or if coming from Meadaowhall you are best getting tram. A taxi would be £10 or so from either.NomadicAddick said:
Also what route would you recommened taking to get to the ground from the coach station? @operationpig
Depends whay you want to go back into town. If you're driving up you could easily park at Meadowhall shopping centre (free all day) or even at the Meadowhall station car park (also free) and get the tram. You can get off in town on the way or stay on tram all the way to Hillsborough. As others have said it's 15 minutes to town and about 30 minutes to Hillsborough/ Leppings Lane.seth plum said:somewhere with a decent getaway chance after the game, and then go into Sheffield for somewhere reasonable for a (veggie.....yes I know) lunch.
Any suggestions where to park, how to get to the town centre and back (guessing Tram), and a reasonable place for lunch with a veggie choice?
Cheers.
If you want Veggie food ther'se a great veggie / vegan cafe in town, but it won't be open after the game. It's called the Blue Moon cafe, a bit of a leftie hangout, students, social workers, kind of place. Very good food, my wife, daughter and mother (all veggie's) all agree. It'll probably shut in afternoon, but a good stop for lunch (or dinner in Sheffield
) It's next to the Catherdral and has a tram stop almost outside.

Arsenal 1968 may well have been bigger, and Palace that year too, but they were in London.ElfsborgAddick said:

Cheers Prince.
Blue Moon it is for Saturday lunch. Does the tram go straight from there to the ground? I'm going to get there early enough to park up I hope.0 -
We took 7k for the Riverside did we not? (free trains with the £20 ticket, and subsidised flights tho)0
-
how many for Blackburn when we flew up ? and for WBA last game of the season ?
must have been 5000 at Villa for the 4 v 3 win0 -
Yes Seth, the cathedral tram stop is directly outside blue moon, its also open til 8pm on a sat. The fat cat also has quite a few veggie things on and decent beerseth plum said:Cheers Prince.

Bus parade no, civic reception yes, at the request of the council. Still embarrassing.2 -
The more valid question is what have been our biggest supports oooop north without free/subsidised travel?
Think villa was about 3,500 GH and we probably sold out a few other prem games up north when we first went up due to the novelty factor.

Liverpool we had the whole end, Kim Grant screamer. And it was midweek

Can't remember which one had the bigger following , was pissed in those days so the memory wasn't great0 -

FA Cup was somewhere between 5k and 6k, the League Cup was a much lower (but still respectable) 2.5k to 3k.oohaahmortimer said:1995 we played Liverpool away in the FA Cup and lost 2-1

Can't remember what the Scousers allocated us for the league games there, but we certainly sold out for our first Prem trip up there (3-3, played brilliant, should have won) and our final Premier League game there (2-2, played brilliant, should have won, Darren Randolph should have been given a 5 year contract of the back of his superb peformance).2 -
Ah yes, I remember organising a meeting in my company's Liverpool office, that just happened to coincide with the day of the League Cup game :-)oohaahmortimer said:1995 we played Liverpool away in the FA Cup and lost 2-1
