It's terrible. Winnable, but could get turned over. Shite that we play them the week before so puts a damper on the day out, and they only got 10,000 in the 3rd round so not much of a payday either.

Will effect the league following, and maybe the cup following. Lots will pick one or the other.

2 weeks running at Hillsborough. Bullshit.

Yeah, the steeper stands and the fact the roof is elevated make a real difference. Feels a lot bigger.

Looks decent tbf

It's walkable though, done it a number of times. They did get that right, building right next to Filbert St. Pity we didn't have that option. That said, I think our place has matured better. KP leaves me a bit cold.

I think it's just a summary of the stuff that has happened before, during times that were very different. Wasn't an attempt to glorify it, merely it was to illustrate that this fixture has a lot of history to it.

Hackney is sound. All GMK survivors are welcome here.

Yep. Quite a few of the cross-eyed fuckers in Rugby too. See Hackneyfox ...😉

I think the fixture has always had meaning for some, simple geography really, just 16 miles of motorway separating the two cities so lots of fans living side by side. Has always been the game I look forward to most, but aware not everyone feels that way. Long week as work as the office is...

Agree, it's very easy to work out what the high demand games will be.

It was always going to be flat, especially the way the game played out, there was no jeopardy, it was like an exhibition game. There wasn't much goading tbf, a bit at the end and it was all a bit silly and fairly good natured. Plenty of Oxford fans smiling at it.

It was only 2K down on league average and bigger than some league gates. Helped by a big away following of course. All clubs outside of a select few get reduced gates when playing lower league opposition in the early FA cup rounds. Lots of Championship clubs today at home will get very low...

We averaging match by match sales of around 5500 (at various price bands) so on average only selling around 55% of available tickets. I suspect they may have expected more, but perhaps not I'm speculating of course, and the transfer surplus is healthy. I'm just not convinced we're swimming in...

I think people are overstating how much money the club is generating. I suspect we're making significant short term operating losses and the difference covered by the transfer revenues. Crowds are probably about where they expected, possibly a bit lower considering the ST base, but corporate...

This play off talk is all a bit optimistic given we've only won 8 out of 25. I'm optimistic for next season definitely. Got to take results like tonight on the chin though. Thought we were very naive in the last 10 minutes or so, didn't manage the game well at all.

That header at the end, Thomas? What was he doing? Ah well, one of those. Frustrating as I can't see us taking much from the next two, but no need to overreact. We move on.

A bit dramatic that. Given that's it's Cov you follow home and away, and you're with Cov fans on those trips, it's stands to reason that any trouble you will see will involve Cov fans? Who else is it going to involve? I go to every away game pretty much. Rarely rock up later than 11.30, always...

Tbf, in recent programme notes they said they are looking at solutions for the south Stand to provide more flexibility.
