Agreed. I have a sneaking suspicion our visitors might not think so!

Think some of Huddersfield's bench could be in trouble if she reports them for having a go at her as she left the pitch, lots of shouting and fingers in her face. Not nice.

Superb City, God-awful Blackburn.

Imagine coming all the way down to witness your relegation-haunted team get horsewhipped like that.

Their final four fixtures - Leeds, Sheff W., Coventry, Leicester. They’re in deep scat.

I did feel sorry for them, only to quickly remember it happening to us quite a few times away too. Preston away for example I won't forget.

And when did we last score 2 penalties in the same game by different players?

Or even have 2 penalties in a game, never mind a season!

Maybe I misread but that's how @phantom's came across.

Unless the new system is responsible for the heavy marketing on social media etc. but that wouldn't seem to fit. 

I didn't see the @phantom comment, but can confirm the ST tickets are counted.

I struggle to believe that the club has no idea of how many season tickets we've sold.

Who has said that, I think I missed that info. They have the exact figure, why wouldn't they?

My drive to AG has never been so quiet, not many fans about tonight.

Given that it’s the Easter holidays and there’ll be families etc away on holiday, giving people two days notice you’re into an exclusive window to find another seat or coordinate with people you sit next to? 
 

Fairly shit treatment from the club. The notice is awful anyway but when there are likely to be people away? Not a strong look.

Also there isn't a rugby match where fans can talk to the fans seated near them to arrange to try to sit together next season in time.

Just reading they have now dropped to 16th, but Forest are expecting to hear about a further deduction for them later this week.

So I guess it will be fixed so Everton are seemingly punished but escape the drop?

I don't like all the sacking stuff, managers being given only part of a season to prove their worth....

However, and it's a huge however, it really feels to me like Manning is some sort of an interim Manager until we get the 'proper' one in. He is holding the fort, keeping things steady and unspectacular until the new appointment.

Obviously I do know that isn't the case, but that's how I tend to mentally treat him. I don't think of him as being sacked, just stepping aside when the new man arrives.

Then I realise there isn't anyone, no new Manager, and I realise, well 'Agggghhhh' sums it up

I smuggled some coins in. The search failed to discover my cunning concealment. Perhaps that was the crime those young girls were guilty of…

I did say at the time they probably had a vape or something! Btw, they didn't get my power bank either, I distracted her by telling her I only had sweets and a bar of chocolate and she was more interested in that

We was on that metro it was a Sunderland fan who pressed it

I did see a Sunderland fan and a City fan were taken off, well we were told by train security that he had admitted it so we all could go. The driver wouldn't move until it was sorted. They had been saying all along it was a group of 7 City fans but didn't know who it was, so all were going to be removed from the carriage, the 7 then separated, then removed. That was the plan by security who were waiting for the Police.

Why would you pull the cord on the metro knowing it would stop , I would want to be back in Newcastle on the piss asap

Dunno. But it was an experience being one of only 2 City fans in the next carriage along. Luckily a lot of good natured banter from the Sunderland fans and Geordies! Must have been a good half hour or more delay

Looked petrified sadly, no need, dragged them out in the 88th minute too, why?

Thought the one looked under 16 too…!

I saw them both, and 2 or 3 blokes before that. Yes they looked young, and certainly about 15 police and stewards was a massive over reaction.

That's weird. Do they take all the Rothmans too? Or does a vape have some purpose as a weapon I'm unaware of?

Someone I know couldn't take a lighter in. I've never seen such measures at any other ground

That reminds me, I should ask, are those draconian restrictions still in place about what you can and can't take in as away fans?

Yes no coins or vapes. Last time it was power packs too. They did ask me if I had a power pack (I did)

They think they found who has done it and metro just moving again, after they removed him £1000 fine possibly. CCTV takes 2 weeks to confirm 

Trouble on the metro too. Apparently a Bristol City fan has pulled the emergency stop on the metro. We have started again and now waiting at a station for 30 mins for the Police

Anis subbed for mcCory now

Kicking with the wind second half I think we’ll go on and win this comfortably.

The wind is swirling. Looks worse this end, the end we are kicking into this next half. Saying that tho they have had better chances attacking this way in the 1st half. 

The wind is awful, getting battered by it even this high up in the stand. Good job it's not cold or it would be unbareable

Shame - he’ll be missed not just for his defensive abilities but his leadership skills as well.

Now reading he got a kick to the calf at Plymouth, so an injury opposed to a strain I guess. Either way he is out and will be missed as you say.

With Dickie missing I guess Pring will move alongside Vyner,

btw - what’s the issue with Dickie?

 

Calf strain

Sunny but really windy here. Ground staff have removed the sky banner things each side of the goal Infront of us as they kept pinning them down only for them to blow onto the pitch again. Will be hard to control a football for sure.

Roberts is a LCB, why disrupt Zak to play JKL, unless you desperately want to go back-3.

Slightly annoyed by only 7 subs.  But only slightly.

I watched them get off the coach and commented that not many got off, seems I was right in my observation

Perhaps. Depends on a) How much of the budget we are prepared to put that way and b) If we are under the new proposed system of 70% subject to how TV distribution changes then it gets a lot less likely.

On a football note I'd also say Whittaker destined for bigger things even at this juncture. Newly promoted to PL dependent on Club? Lazio had bid turned down, always thought Brentford too.

I was chatting to a very knowledgeable steward yesterday. He said scouts were taking an interest in Whittaker, some clubs were making regular visits. He mentioned Tottenham, Crystal Palace and Leicester as the most interested.
