So in the first SIX phases for a fairly local game we sold less than 800 tickets.
I really do think they should start bracketing some of these phases in together.
The away followings have been pretty poor this season. Oxford and Wycombe should have sold out, Gillingham may well do but even that's been a slow burner. I may be in a minority but I believe 2k should have been achievable for MK too. The first four away games are four of the closest.
Totally agreed. Not sure what it is, but the interest doesn't seem to be there. Usually there is about 6 of us in my group who we go to away matches with. Does not seem like we will do one again as a group until Pompey in January.
Still think we will see big interest when we play Lincoln, Wimbledon and Cambridge this year though.
Absolutely, I look forward to all the new grounds when we get the "It's not fair, I had a season ticket every year before Covid and even did one or two away games and now I can't get a ticket for Wimbledon" posts.

Do you do all the away games Belv?
Not all mate, the majority. 15/16 usually. I'd like to do them all but there's always something that comes up to scupper a few.
I understand the longer journeys people won't fancy but just thought after such a long break from football and away days, 4 of the closest games would have been the ideal way to get back into the swing of it.

Sorry Belv but I get the right hum when we knock our away support. In the 3rd tier of football after weve played Gillingham we will be averaging 1500 and we knock the support.

There’s many more non-football issues this season though compared to the last full season with crowds we had. Some people are naturally still concerned about distancing on transport/pubs/actual ground, people have had over a year to get used to other hobbies on a Saturday, people still making up for lost time by spending weekends with family and friends, money is a huge worry for many people at the moment so they’ll be those who want to go but can not justify £100 spent on a Saturday even if the game is only a short distance to Wycombe.

Fair enough but as said these are four of the closest games to us, that average will have nosedived at the end of October I imagine.
I'm not knocking the away support per say as it generally holds up well and I expect our average will be in the top 10 of the division but not to sell 1700 tickets for the first away game in 18 months which is only 50 miles away is poor in my opinion, to not have sold out Gillingham yet which is local to most, if not the most local for a lot of people is also poor. I appreciate my view is a little harsher in regards to Wycombe and particularly MK hence saying I'm in a minority.
I think bowyer bonded us all plus a Wembley promotion, what with COVID, and I don’t think we’ve got a proper connection with the team & Nigel yet. Need wins to get people going again
Upper Car Park tickets at Adams Park are now available at the ground £10. Just bought mine through their website. Quick transaction. I think they are quite limited in number so worth jumping in ASAP if you are driving and looking for on the doorstep parking.
I know we'll probably get turned over but I'm going to this one. It's a great little ground, with good views from the away end. Plus I can get there in 20 minutes...yay!
Bit of a soft spot for Wycombe (I'd take Ainsworth as manager tomorrow, by the way!). Many years ago I was based in the area and used to go and watch them a fair bit, in midweek, during the Martin O'Neil 'non-league' era. Also got married in Lacey Green, a village just outside Wycombe!
Looking forward to the trip and a night out and stopover in High Wycombe!!!

Lacey Green is very nice, I really like The Whip Inn, the pub next to the windmill.
Ainsworth is clearly very attached to Wycombe, it would be interesting if the QPR job ever came up, but Warburton is doing a very good job there anyway
Sorted my parking. Paid £6 to park on someone drive less than a 10 min walk away.
One thing I hate about going to away games is trying to find somewhere to park.....esp if we are running late. Now that is sorted I can look forward to the game more.

It might be a good think to be stuck in traffic and arrive 2 hours late

Golfie...could you please remind me of the website you use for sourcing this kind of private parking, please.
