I have done 2 aways but can’t buy yet. Anyone else had this problem?

Can’t fault them in this cup

I agree. I would not watch City if they ever  played in this comp in the current format.

1,100 plus is disappointingly high in my opinion.

They showed a lot more solidarity in the EFL cup v Ipswich. Despite being drawn at a club in a higher division and I assume tickets being a lot cheaper with it being a cup match, all but 123 of them boycotted that one.

Feels like it was only moments ago some of our own fans were telling us they were putting together a squad of promotion challengers.

To be fair some of their new signings Were promotion challengers 5-10 years ago

Another 7,000 plus crowd today. Really do need a new stadium, or at least perhaps a new stand

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet but the rules are you are meant to have 2k seats once you have been in the football league for 3 seasons

Didn’t they get special dispensation to count their plastic patio chairs?

There was a Greek stall outside which I think was new,did anyone try that?

Was okay, but much more expensive than the pie I would have bought if there were any

Covered the cost of the Babestation subscription?

They need to sort out beer queues at Glos. I missed around 100 Somerset runs waiting in the queue….. A good 5/10 minutes at least

Decent pub quiz question would be: name the grounds with a capacity bigger than the population of where they’re located? Ross County can accommodate all of Dingwall. No idea if there are others. 

The only one I can think of is Bristol Rovers, who have a larger away following than the city in which they’re located.

I’ve been to Ross County a couple of times (as you do) and there’s something quite magical about what seems like the whole town walking up to the match

Was the 209 at Huddersfield on a midweek night cold enough to freeze off your extremities and few other things besides?

I was at Huddersfield and reckon 400 plus were there. Maybe the 209 was the televised end of season midweek game at Sheffield United?

Barton saying post match it’s a promise they’ll be challenging next season. 
 

I think he might have a point. There are some much bigger teams that they have consistently struggled and taken hammerings against no longer in the division next season.

With Accrington AND Morecambe out of the way I can see the play off chasers mounting yet another serious promotion push.

Good lord they honestly cannot even conceive what the top two divisions are like.

Sheffield Utd are currently being hawked for around £90m. Premier League Bournemouth were valued at about £120m in 2022.

If, when Lansdown sells, we are valued at anything over £100m that would be an incredible outcome. And our sale would include AG, a squad worth circa £30m, and a fanbase 3 to 4 times their size.

TrussGas, KwartengGas and DianneAbbotGas have verified that valuation of £125m.

I’m not an accountant but there’s a thing called goodwill that hasn’t been factored in. Their fans have asked other fans and it turns out they’re everyone else’s second favourite team and you can’t put a price on that.

The annoying thing for them today will be that they know they are better than Pompey/whoever beats them this week

Tickets on sale till 11am tomorrow. 

So glad I saw this as was planning to get a ticket up there! Just got mine. 

Definitely up for Huddersfield please @BigAl&Toby

Still got your mobile number from Wednesday away a few years ago. Is it still the same number? 

In the interests of balance Al is one of the tiny number of people on here that I’ve met in real life.

He gave my daughter and I a lift to a very poor defeat at Sheffield Wednesday (for which I have since forgiven him) in exchange for a small donation to CHSW. Otherwise it wouldn’t have been really been affordable for us to go at that time.

A sensible and pleasant gentleman. I like a bit of off the wall humour as much as the next Robin.  Life is indeed too short.

Isnt this the sort of psychological state that started Scientology?

I think that’s taking things a bit far and is unfair……..

On Scientology

Sounds like it’s being played behind closed doors/zips

8,164

Massive crowd again

The young kid seemed to get away and then came back round and into the section again, just as it was seeming to calm down.

Wasn’t it first home game of 2023 for play off pushing Rovers? 8,429? 
Bearing in mind there is rugby on the TV and the Balloon Fiesta is coming up in August that really is support to be prowed of.

TBF we played well for most of the game, just two stupid pieces of defending,

Sunday league teams are setup better than we are,

we only scored via a keeping error.

Love it. **** ‘em.

Thanks - would’ve been waiting for it on ITV4 ahead of the Derby game !!

I’m sure that’s the first and only time Barrs Court Red and myself will be thanked for encouraging anyone to watch The One Show.

That is a terrible error posting that. No matter what happens in sport you can't be saying things like that. 

Absolutely disgraceful. Should be banned from watching them for life.
