JoeAman08 Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 I wondered if they would have a priority for this one as well. Like to season card holders that have been to 2 away games. I have only been to one so expecting not to get a ticket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledAjax Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 One thing this means is that we will likely field a weaker team at Watford. We've got Wolves on 30th Dec, then Villa 48 hours later, then Watford a few days after that and then we're off to the Etihad for the first leg of a bloody semi-final. Surely we will be going all out for points in the league games, then resting players at Watford, then trying to come away from the Etihad with as good a result as possible.

One of our problems is that our squad is so thin at the moment, it is difficult to play a B side like we did earlier in the cup, without bringing in a good number of academy players. We might do that of course, and really we could do with being out of that cup quickly. A real concern at the start of the season was how would he keep Wright, Flint, Baker and Mags all happy and what would be our best two. Seems a long time ago.

Kingswoodactor Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Jumping the gun here but Watford line up could be something like: Steele, Vyner, Wright, Maggs, Kelly, Bakinson, Pack, Elliasson, Leko, Taylor, Reid. Wonder if Fam will be ready for the Man City games? Probably doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Baker did also state that had we drawn Man U away then exiles that have done a number of away games would have got some sort of priority. No idea how that would work though.

Freddie Hinds was already probably coming back to us in January so says GJ so I'd imagine we are officially enacting that now to get him back and out against Watford again. He can always stick around until the end of January and depending on injuries, sit on the bench for Man City as well. He was on the bench for Cheltenham in the FA Cup but that's all fine and dandy as he didn't come on in their game (FA Cup Rules 15 g) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming we get the same Wolves got (initially 5,500 and then a further 500), think STHs will snap up 4,000 tickets. Members probably about 1,000. Then a few hundred will make general sale.

If you look at the demographics at most of our aways, it's usually men between the ages of 18-50. And a few younger 'lively' teenagers. Never seen more than a few dozen older folk.

He stood down the front, right on the rail. I think he would be in his 80's perhaps he was even 90. He arrived just around kick-off and was immaculately dressed in fine red leather gloves and with a wonderful red trilby with a pheasant feather erupting from the crown of it. Long buttoned up trench coat and bright red crocodile skin shoes. I am 90% certain there was a three-piece suit on under that coat. This man spent the entire match berating our players and yelling out very long and detailed tactical explanations. He was incredible. I did not say hello to him but saw he was well protected from the surge when Bobby netted the late equaliser. Such a hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exAtyeoMax Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Don't expect to be going to the away fixture, rather get time off for the home tie, plus the trains are too expensive from London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
