Cheers Mason,I love reading away followings :thumbright: :thumbright: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Theres some brilliant ones there, incl 7,000 Preston going to Blackburn,nothing to play for and Prestons home following is only about 11,000.
I know its local,but their rivals are Blackpool.

Birmingham over 3,000 fans at Charlton, fantastic seen as they have virtually nothing to play for.

When those 2 games were played both Birmingham and Preston were in with a shout of the play offs.

Pity we don't have an away game 20 miles away - all motorway where they will take 7000 of us :lol:

Probably been a while since Preston played Blackburn.

However that Birmingham following to Charlton is very good.

The membership scheme is a restriction.

I've got my wife, daughter and daughters boyfriend coming with us tomorrow with no tickets.
Luckily they can pay on the gate, but it's got to put people off.

They were coming for the day out anyway- I think my wife's hoping she can't get in so she can go shopping :laughing6:

I doubt there will be 3k, but maybe 2200-2500 ?
