We must get a new striker in and Robins knows it and will be on the case, no doubt. Without one our challenge is in danger of petering out. I expect Robins to be looking for 2 or 3 newbies = 1 striker, 1 defender minimum and a striker/winger too. Probably loans.

Red card for Chelsea... This will run and run. Eden Hazard is a silly boy. The ref had no choice but the fallout should be fun. Not seen the like since Cantona

CWR said K.O. will be 7.15 if chosen by Sky so those with tickets. like me ;) need to be aware to get there earlier.

Be careful folks. Don't do what I did ... I hit Add to basket but it didn't "take" then I hit Checkout so total was zero .went back but details had disappeared. I went back in and it said I purchased my limit! GRrrrrrrr. Worked a few minutes later so must be using the 10 minutes to time out...

Started snowing again where I live, 30 miles west of the Ricoh. 8585 at Leicester tonight. Clubs need to consider whether their fans are willing to venture out in such conditions. It is not just about CAN we get the game on, but SHOULD we, when the fans will stay away? Commercial reasons says...

Yes that's because the snow was in the West and Norwich fans came from the East. I remember The Norwich game as I spent the morning looking at the pictures from the webcams on the M5 near me. Many drivers abandoned their cars that morning and the slip roads were skid pans. Took a friend of mine...

Be careful SkyblueAde, you'll be accused of being a wuss, like me.

Indeed tommy. Just watched 5 neighbours spend 30 minutes trying to help a car out of our road in Hagley. I would have joined them except I had just got in after a 30 minute walk through a blizzard, during which I had pushed other cars. 5 inches of snow here, gridlocked main roads and still...

Lovely state the pitch will be in if the drainage isn't top notch.

Great if you live within 200 yards of the Ricoh, then. Tough luck if you don't. Crowd prediction thread needed... 7,235. 17,235 if they postpone and put it on an evening in March or April.

Appreciate the point you are making but disagree. Fans are customers. The gate will be down. I would have brought my son and bought him a shirt on that offer tonight. As I am not going the club will lose about £30 I would have spent. A few hundred more will do the same so the club have lost...

In 1987 the maths did not add up. Roughly 12,000 tickets went to who knows who. I went to Stoke, Sheff Wed and Leeds semi and every home game but I didn't get a ticket for the final. Season ticket holders + fans who had the required vouchers like me added up to well short of the 36,000 or...

Absolutely not Gint11. Not aimed at you or anyone else. My issue is RESCHEDULING a game. If it was on the fixture list for now, well it wouldn't be actually because they don't put midweek games in January as a rule for obvious reasons. So why not use common sense and put the game in one of the...

Thanks, Grendel. I thought I was losing my grip on reality for a while there. The casual fans might fancy a trip up on a pleasant Spring evening when it stays light, no chance tomorrow.

As I said only for obsessives and masochists ... I guess you would have to be to support ccfc anyway. Gate will be well down but that should please the macho men who don't really want old people, women and children there anyhow.

Duh? It's not about what you wear. The roads will have freezing fog and massive queues before the game. Many fans like me will not leave work to sit on an icy dual carriageway for an hour before and after, ta. What's MAN UP got to do with it? Not that old chestnut that not feeling cold makes...

The pitch looked awful last week. How much worse will it get If freezes then is thawed out, freezes again then thawed out for Saturday when more snow and ice is forecast?

Unacceptable in a professional footballer. Drives me mad watching them contort their body to get on the right side of the ball. Shocking. If I were a carpenter would I be allowed to use only a hammer.? Sorry can't use a saw.

Just checked weather forecast for Longford ... Minus 3 on Wednesday at 8pm, dropping to minus 5 later that night. I'm out. Sorry. Attendance will be about 2000 lower than a fair evening in April.

Cheers Swanny. I realise some young bucks won't mind going out and fighting off the polar bears on the way back to their cars but some of us travel from outside the area and don't fancy it in this weather. Stupot, I just counted 6 weeks in March and April without a midweek match. OK one might...
