How many Bees ?

[GABS]

With the appointment of MA and the subsequent upturn in performances/results how many Bees do we reckon will be at Sheffield Wednesday ? While the Wally was still in charge I was thinking prob under 1000 but now I am starting to let meself get carried away and think 2000 could be a possibility ?
A rare chance to go to one of the 'famous' English grounds to watch the Bees in league action (last time was a mid-week cup game early 90's ?) and add to that the fact that its the Easter weekend there are no excuses !!!

 

[nocoat]

I will eat my foot if we take 2,000 up there Im guessing at around 934, which isn't bad, especially as we will bee as good as safe by then anyway ...

Wheres that Smiffy Superbee fella when ya need him ???

We'll take 5,000 wont we Smiffy !

 

[West Ealing Bee]

I would imagine it will be around the 800 mark.

If we win next week that may jump to 1000.

2000 lol lol lol lol rofl

 

[RodBee]

The Hey Jude estimate is 6,000 + !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[GABS]

As someone famously said once-upon-a-time "I have a dream..."

 

[Dangerous]

I would rather we take 2000 to Grimsby than Sheffield as it is a much bigger game for us.

Nice fish n chips as well.

 

[Willo]

But I thought it was sold out :scratch:

 

[hockeym8]

I dont think 2000 will happen, i rekon we will take at least 800, maybe a thousand.

 

[1 Bee]

We're take around 600, We struggle to take a 1000 to Wycombe and even though sheffield is a big premiership standard ground its still a long way for the half hearted fans ...i'll be there though supporting the bees to a famous victory

Half hearted as well as the moneyless, away days are an expensive business

You may be surprised.

Many of the "half hearted" (BIG insult by the way) fans will be there........

 

[1 Bee]

Ok "half hearted" was a little strong but the prospect of us taking more than we did against Wycombe or Rushden is unlikely though ...i dunno ..i'd love to see more than a thousand bees there though

Many of us "half hearted" have to prioritise our games for many reasons, which I wont go into now.

And before anyone says where were you at blah blah blah I'll admit and say that Sh Weds away is more of a priority than Wycombe because I've never been to Hillsboro' supporting BFC before.

And I'm not on my own here, I know many who have been to only a couple of away games this season who'll be going.

If you go to most of the away games, I salute you, well done. I used to do that about 8 years ago, and really really miss those days. Life goes on....

 

[GABS]

We struggle to take a 1000 to Wycombe

Did we struggle to take 1000 to Wycombe

 

[SQUELCH]

How many did we take to Telford? cos i reckon the turnout could bee similar if not more i.e. more people coming out the woodwork.

When was the last time we played wednesday anyway?

 

[Leicester Bee]

Well over 1000 to Wycombe, IMHO.

We must take a minimum of 1000 to Wednesday. We ought to try and take 1000 to Barnsley and then at least 1500 to Grimsby and ensure we support the lads. I, for example, have ensured that nothing will spoil my only chances to get to away games this season, other than Wycombe. Let's show Martin Allen what great support he has, and that he has taken over a club with the best fans in the world.

Other than for extreme reasons, how on earth can you miss the birth of a new era at Brentford?

 

[1 Bee]

I apoligise to everyone for the "half hearted" bit. Obviously money is a reason in all away travel. When have we taken more than a 1000 to an away game up north which didn't have promotion in the beckening??
Look i'm fighting a battle which i don't really stand for, i'd love to see thousands of bees supporting us at Wednesday just like everyone else and i will be one of them.

Wycombe - 1048 - i think.
Telford - 600ish

Up the bees!!!

 

[Jambo]

Up the bees!!!

Absolutely. Should be a great day....

As I said at top of this thread I think the last time was a mid-week cup game early 90's

League Cup 2nd Round.

September 1990.

 

[Guildford Bee]

About 750 I reckon. We were all talking about 1500 or so to Telford but it never happened.

 

[casual]

1,000 bees will be at sheffield.

 

[celticbee]

i reckon we'll bring 1000+ to hillsborough but the main away game is still grimsby where we need to sell out!!

 

[GABS]

My 2 (unamed) fellow usual away day Bees are going to be at Stamford Bridge that day

 

[Beenut]

Well there's gonna be this (infrequent travelling) Bee & a non-Bee there...........

Was there in 1990 - seem to remember the fans swapping coins with each other on the walk back to the station!

Dodgey pen against Roger Joseph btw...........

And so say all of us!

Name and shame them.......

 

[Griffin]

Hopefully we'll be able to take about a thousand and create a party atmosphere. It's a nice long weekend and a ground that we haven't had the opportunity to visit in recent history. I've been to a couple of Sheff Weds games this season - as my girlfriends family are supporters - and I have to say that it makes a big impact having a fair amount of travelling support camped out in the Leppings Lane end.

 

[Claire]

instead of trying to work out how many will, go why dont we all get off our arses and go! il bee there. oh and ive got about 100 brentford balloons i could bring! to help with the atmosphere?

and what else can we do to get the brentford atmosphere going?

 

[GABS]

Looking at the pic of the away end we will need 1000+ just to make it seem even half full !

As far as I remember from TV clips from S.Weds games they close the bottom tier ala Millwall don't they ?

 

[Claire]

well we can make it look full, just need to work out how.........

 

[Griffin]

Yep, they'll put us in the middle of the top tier. I went to their last game of the season against Walsall last year. Walsall had a good couple of thousand but it still looked empty

 

[Basil Brush]

Its a shame Casual cant come, im sure his army of female followers could have filled the away end.

 

[feltham/bees]

cant see many bees fans going on the official club coaches i've just gone onto the bfc web site (match - then away travel) and that has not been updated since luton away 21st feb, i make it we have played 4 away matches since. no wonder they only take one coach to away games.

 

[christom]

We took 2 to Hartlepool cos i was on the second coach and we still got there!!!!

Will be going to Shaffield with my daughter and have 2 spaces in the car leaving from the Watford area, can give a lift for a nominal £5 if intersted PM me

 

[Griffingreen]

well we can make it look full, just need to work out how.........

Take a blow-up mate, or just leave a empty seat between us all.
