Man's gotta vent somewhere!

I'm meant to be working away for 2 weeks from the 24th so didn't get a ticket for Boro and planned on finally ticking Ipswich off and watching us win at Deepdale (yes I'm getting carried away) when I got back. Now there's talk of pushing the trip back by a week which means I'll get none of them

Anyone know a betting site with decent over/under markets? Looking for O'Hare to be kicked by Eccles - Over 19.5

My two penneth is it's still a hangover from covid. People REALLY missed going to the football, and watching it on TV with no crowds or atmosphere was just shit so we all flocked back afterwards. And once you've caught the bug again it's difficult to give up, even if your wallet's being squeezed...
