Quiet away fans dampen the atmosphere.

Thought they were the quietest away fans I can recall. I know we have to create our own atmosphere, but it’s difficult to maintain that when there’s absolutely no banter between sets of supporters. The tempo of the game in the second half matched the atmosphere.

There were Burton fans?

Get use to this ,because there won't be many away fans in most of our games .If we take the lead it will kill most games banter.

Decent numbers from them considering their home gates, but agree they were very quiet. I think we took the wind out of their sails during the first 30 mins though tbf.

Particularly poor today. Enjoy the banter when they’re a vocal lot. Not today

There were enough of them to create an atmosphere but they just didn't bother!

Think it will be like this for the majority of the season. Expectation levels and very difficult to create the same buzz that was around when Critchley first got us promoted.

Welcome to league 1, most fans will linger around these numbers, part of the huge gulf in income will be away fans, most champ clubs would sell out first away of season, Blackpool.

We were all at home except the Oxford play off match when he first got us promoted.

their fans were shocking but tbh our fans weren't much better. It was like a morgue for the last hour of the game. Not helped by what was or wasn't happening on the pitch.

Well after Covid then or whatever. The novelty has died. Doesn’t come natural anymore to create the same level of atmosphere.

The red flag was over 3/4 were sat down at an away game.

I bet the SLO was looking over in awe at their designated seating section

Apparently 812, even though they had apparently sold 581 on Friday was it, anyway it didn't seem that many, but whatever.

Should put them all in the North East then there would be banter between fans.
Contrary to what some fans think when we've sold out the whole of the East the atmosphere is better for home and away fans.

I am staggered it was 812 .. looked about 400!!
Anyone know the crowd last season against Reading because the home sections didn't look any less full?
