Asked for 6000 tickets and sold less than 2000. Everton now re-offering tickets to home fans they moved to accommodate the might Bees. |  | | |  |

Was chatting with a Watford mate yesterday, it’s amazing how quickly the disillusionment sets in. |  | | |

Agree its very disappointing, esp considering we took nearly as many to Port Vale in the last round!
I think it's partly down to timing - we played at Anfield 3 weeks ago, we're at Man City next week and then go to Everton again in the League later in the season. Plus being post-Xmas, there's not a lot of money around just now.
And I think the club greatly overestimated demand for this game, possibly influenced by good travelling numbers at other aways.
Anyhow, if there is "disillusionment", it might be with the FA Cup, but it's certainly not with the team or performances generally, since the home crowd (at least) is as enthusiastic as ever, win lose or draw. Besides which, our away form has actually been better than our home form recently.
I can certainly see why Watford fans must be hugely fed-up, mind! | | | |

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think 2000 to Everton is bad at all.
I remember the days we used to take a couple of hundred away |  |

2000 is a fine effort in my book. It's not cheap to get up to Liverpool and back and as you say, not even the novelty factor as you've still go to go there in the league and the FA Cup isn't where its at for Brentfart this season. |  | | |

My thoughts exactly.
Still a significant percentage of their real fanbase, and in these challenging times, fair-dos to them. |  |

Maybe it's just me but I think this obsession with away fans needs to stop.
It's absolutely frikkin' expensive these days...ticket prices / travelling costs / food & drink etc then combine this with potentially a bunch of long journeys all one after the other and the fact we're going through mental times in the world. |  | | |

I have two mates who supported united,and arsenal until 2015 when they suddenly became the world's biggest Brentford fans,neither have a clue who Martin Rowlands is, neither even knew that the home end they used to stand in was the old away end ect.
And both don't seem to want to chat football since Southampton away,"strange that". [Post edited 4 Feb 2022 11:47]

Quite. It’s not like they’re missing the chance of a lifetime, they’ll be back there in a couple of months. Strange call by the club though. |  | | |

I also think it should apply to home support too. Not everyone lives a couple of miles from the ground and a lot of people from all clubs often travel just as far for a home game as they would for an away game.
"Bantz"? No, it's just childish people IMO .

2k is decent numbers and it was madness asking for 6k tickets especially when they are in the same league
Some decent numbers traveling from W12, Middlesex and Sw6 this weekend - Rangers 4k, Bees 2k and Fulham 2.5k

mad to ask for that amount but taking 2k away to Everton is a good effort really. |  | | |

I'm with you Juzzie. I keep getting Facebook showing me "Football Away Days" posts (not a page I like, or follow, but it seems to show me them anyway based on other groups I'm in) where people post a picture of fans in an away end and its full of comments of people talking about "poor support", "my club would take more", "rubbish fans" and other nonsense and its so boring and completely out of touch with the real world. Most of them I'd be willing to bet don't go to any games. Its almost like they've never heard of the current cost of living issue.
Anyone going to away games deserve credit, whether its 20 or 2000 of you. And as I frequently say to my running club captains when they talk about turnout at races, "celebrate those who are there, rather than lament those that aren't". |  | | |

I’m not sure we asked for 6k but if we did I expect it will have financial consequences for us as these tickets are normally issued in blocks of 2000 and you have to pay for these up front but I stand to be corrected.The tickets are cheap at £15 but train tickets have gone up a considerable amount over the last year and still rising I’m going but we were only up at Liverpool a few weeks ago and we have City away on Wednesday I’ll be there as well but it does put a dent in your wallet.
Everton is a club we have never played in my long time supporting so it’s another ground to tick off so expect some older fans like me have chosen to go to the league game which is our last away game and maybe our last in PL
. Our away support has been good this season and so it should be and we have sold out our max 3000 allocations for most games remembering only a few years back we had a hard core 8000 fans.The constant change of fixture dates doesn’t help sometimes only a few weeks before hand is a pain I think most fans of clubs who go to away games are feeling the pinch. | | | |

There are lots of different reasons why some clubs have more support at different games than others do.Would we have taken the same amount of fans to Blackpool if it had been played midweek?Or if Middlesbrough away had been in January instead of august?
But our away support has been impressive in numbers this season,although not always in behaviour.
Don’t forget to make sure you empty your bladder by 3.30 tomorrow because you’ll never get anywhere near the toilets at ht. | | | |

Fans get it so wrong - you'd have a cracking day out there win, lose, or draw. Whereas in the league it could be a whole different ball game. You're likely, but not definitely out of it, so throw in defeats at the other games you mention and a defeat at Everton in the league, and that could be the worse day out of the season | | | |

I used to follow that page, used to be decent, they posted a picture of the Rangers fans at Birmingham back in January, and it looked cool. However, now like most sites they just rely on click bait and it dilutes their product, which is a shame. It also can get very nasty on there |  | | |
