They never seem to travel in big numbers. 

I think David James is still having nightmares from the near 3000 abusing him when they stuffed us 3-0

Personally I would rather walk the length of the Portway  or walk from chew magna even at my age than pay for parking , it seems football is becoming a cash cow for anything and everything around the game , wages , tickets , food , drink , parking , merchendise it will sooner or later disappear up its own arse 

Spot on Sir

Kudus is the main one, a sensational player. Also away at Afcon probably Cornet, Benrahma, Aguerd, but they have been on the bench of late.

That just leaves Paquetá, Bowen, Mavropanos, Ward-Prowse, Ings, Alvarez, and Souček to worry about.

Looks like Paqueta did his hamstring last night.

I think I read somewhere that they have to join their squads after the games on 30th December.

Thanks mate,  hope that's the case as that Kudus looks an excellent signing.

Look good against Arsenal don’t they?

I was wondering what date their African players head off for the African Cup of nations.

Will they be available for our game on the 7th or will they have left by then.

Never driven to Watford, always trained. Anyone know if can park near ground 

Hardly any parking close to the ground.

The best advise is to head into the centre park up in a car park then its a ten minute walk to Vicarage Road.

This is the scheme where footy fans are urge not to use their cars etc to get to football match's,

That's going to be a bit tricky from darkest Tetbury.

My daughter spent several years working in a home for adults with a variety of mental and physical health issues. These included people that couldn't even eat.They were fed through pegs in their stomach. Obviously the place was understaffed so she had to do cooking and cleaning on top of her duties. Days and night shifts.She loved it.When she wanted to buy a house with her boyfriend she couldn't get a mortgage on her earnings. She had to leave the care home and go selling home insurance over the phone as it paid more.Absolutely shocking.

That's a daughter to be proud off

That was a lively day

Being in the seats along the side was interesting at half time that's for sure.

Bell, Tanner and Pring have been struggling all season imo. I'm not convinced the tactics have affected Vyner and Conway. 

Hopefully in January we can give Tanner a spell on the bench and replace him with McCrorie just in time for West Hsm.

89/90 ?

Good turn out but ? 3000 ish ?

It looked a lot from my viewpoint up a floodlight

3000 would be about right.

We were in the seated section along the side and there was plenty of us in there making a commotion that's for sure.

Happy days

How is it 25 years of under achieving? You would be hard pushed to find a 25 year period in our history where our average league placing was higher.

We haven't been wildly successful, I will grant you that but seeing as most of our time has been spent as a yoyo between Championship and League 1 level we are now firmly established as a mid table Championship club with a better platform than we have ever had to push on.

Be careful what you wish for when the Lansdowns move on. You might think there is disconnect between the club and the fans now, it will only get worse...

The new TV deal for the Championship next season will see kick off days and times all over the weekend. 

3pm kickoffs on a Saturday afternoon will be a thing of the past very soon 

I'm setting myself up for a big whoosh here, but I'm not sure what coverage you mean

About 20,000 - so a bit down on recent home games. May just have been playing on a Sunday lunchtime, which was a bit unusual and may not have fitted the routines and commitments of some fans.

Don't forget our home gates have been boosted by some big away followings already this season.

Norwich today brought 1100

I was involved in a brief discussion about enjoying football.

I didn’t enjoy the game today and the result had little to do with that.

The game today it seemed to me was all about possession and very little about entertainment.

I don’t pretend to know the answer, but if our football, and football in general doesn’t provide entertainment to spectators then what’s the point in going to a game?
 

If anyone who reads this did enjoy the game please tell me what you enjoyed?
The football from both sides was 99% flat and the crowd was 99% quite.

Brilliant post, spot on

As a local who’s been there a few times for football the away section is in two sections. The lower tier is temporary seating albeit closer to the pitch whereas the upper tier is permanent seating but some distance from the pitch 

Ideal draw for me as will be home within half hour of the final whistle 

Do you do B&B?

Lots of speculation here locally.

Football wise,  playing Belshall the goal keeper when others were fit and he was only there as an emergency loan.

Non football, flying the Palestinian flag in the FA cup replay against Scarborough. 

But like everyone is thinking, why so late in the day? They haven't got a big fan base, but some have booked train tickets and hotel rooms.

For home fans..

Anyone who went there on the Tuesday night 5-0 defeat won't share your joy.

 

Probably the only time I genuinely feared for my life at a football match.

 

And I went to some pretty infamous games in my day.

All part of the buzz back in the day. Get off at Upton Park tube station turn right and run the gauntlet past Charlene's night club under that mass of concrete.
