Has anyone got a spare ticket for this. I live in Leeds but couldn't get a ticket, I really don't want to have to sit in the home end. 

130 tickets left on the website

You really need to watch the video taken from SS.

Where do you sit btw?

I’m in LS, I thought it was a coming together, but I had a crap angle.

it’s a forearm smash.

Once again, an absolute joke of a decision - thought it was a penalty at the time (I’m in the SS) and now I see this clip - what game were the officials watching to have missed this?!

As you say…..a forearm smash!!!

I personally have a bad feeling that Sam Bell could be sacrificed in January / Summer to make way for another 2/3 League One / Two squad players and to enhance the nest egg. 

On current forum, I’d say it’s more likely to be Knight that becomes our next big money departure.

Let’s see how we react on Wednesday - need a result as unlikely to get much/anything against Leeds - don’t want to go into the international break on the back of a really poor run of results

Play like we did going forward today and cut out the mistakes and we are more than good enough to win away at Rotherham

Real tough one to take today but hopefully, we will bounce back in midweek

First initial allocation 2,018 , said website, now sold out will we get more now ?

Sheffield Wednesday had 2,916 tickets and so assume we’ll get another 900 - didn’t expect us to sell 2,000 tickets for this one

Another impressive away following, having already sold-out away games at Swansea, Millwall and Leicester already

Can see Nige being offered a new deal just as next seasons Season Ticket prices are announced!

A change of scenery for me last night, my brother (77) was up from Plymouth for the game. I bought him his ticket in the Lower Lansdown and switched mine from Section 82 for the night. 

8 rows from the front affords you a superb view and I was struck by how much quicker the game felt and how you could almost feel the intensity of the tackling and jostling for the ball.

Although you lose a little perspective across the pitch it took me back to my younger days of sitting on the East End wall with my legs dangling through the railings.

My brother had a great time, though having travelled on occasions to Argyle away games with mates in the past, he was really disappointed to hear how quickly they turned on their team at half time.

He has been to 3 games in the last 7 years and seen 18 goals. (Hull 5-5, Coventry 2-1 and now 4-1) I wish he could come more often. I love to hear his stories of Atyeo, Boxley, Peacock, Williams etc from before I was born.

For what it's worth he said he hasn't seen a City team play with that level of intensity before, and was impressed that we looked equally as strong after the substitutions.

Thanks to the lads for providing  a great night for him, and "yah boo sucks" to the guys a few rows behind us who jokingly shouted at me to "act your age" when I joined in with the "stadium bounce".

Finally it was interesting to see Pearson having a little joke with Downsy and giving him a peck on the cheek as they were welcoming the players off the pitch at the end, perhaps not the pariah at the club that some think.

Glad you and your brother had a good evening - made better by the 4-1 score line

This!

Was probably pushing to get Nige’s contract sorted, to be told “no” by SL….

Can they do a special to Leicester too? 

I think I know the answer to that but it'd be nice 

Direct from Tiverton Parkway would be even better

Used it - made the day even better.

Hard to say how many were on it though - 6-700 would be my guess

Thought he was excellent yesterday - having been right near the front yesterday, he was certainly really pumped up after the equaliser

Our MF three of him, James and Knight certainly seems to be improving, the more games they play together….long may it continue

Apparently Rovers had 2 hours to get what they needed to done so 

a) why wasn’t everything in place to assume it would be a yes to save time 

or 

b) if you’re running close to the deadline and as Barton put it ‘seconds out’ then why not submit an extension form to the EFL/FA that allows you a little extra time so long an agreement is in place 

Judging by that interview with Darren Ferguson, they had more than enough time to sort the deal - sounds like a bit of a game has been played by Wally!

Making it look to the Gas ‘Eds that they were prepared to invest nigh on a million quid (and a big, three year contract for JCB), only for it to not then happen.

What an unprofessional outfit they’ve proven to be yet again

Thap point we got at home to Preston not looking so shabby now!

Currently, the only team to have taken points off of them…..

Waking up to this news prior to going to Swansea today, has already made my day!! 
 

Let’s hope it’s the start of a very good day

No, it hasn’t, but we did!

Have we done OK out of this, in your opinion, @Davefevs?

The update re PP approval says everything we need to know me thinks…..

Funny how Steve Lansdown waited until nearly 15,000 people bought season tickets, sold Alex Scott and then decided to basically tell us all the money wouldn’t be reinvested!  

This sums it up …….

Having watched the interview, I personally thought Nige was his usual self.

The interesting point was regarding others potentially leaving - clearly, he wouldn’t be happy if we were left with minimal time if “the club” accepted an offer for one of our players.

Sadly though, I have come to the conclusion that Nige will see his contract out and then leave - I still firmly believe that he is the manager to get us into the PO (and promoted) and that’s something that I find hard to accept when it appears that SL sees things a different way…..

I was just thinking the same, how a fake tweet has woken everyone up again 

He's long gone into the sunset 

Especially as his number 22 has gone to our latest signing
