Thought I'd bypassed the points control system yesterday and was able to bag myself 2 Pompey tickets. Put my card details in and was one click away from securing them before I realised I was about to buy Millwall tickets. Which I can't get to. What a shambles that would have been.

I'm torn between using a mate of a mate to get a ticket for this or waiting for general sale in the hope I can still get one and the 20 points. Tuesday night. The traffic down from Cov to Portsmouth will be hideous. It'll probably rain too. Hardly any away friendly pubs. STHs I'd sit this...

This extra day's rest never makes a blind bit of difference. The number of times we've played Tuesday and our next opponents on Wednesday, and I can't remember one example where the other team looked leggy on the Saturday. Especially in early October.

We'll play on the front foot and attack the game. But to say a draw isn't good enough is ridiculous. A point here followed up by a win on Saturday would represent a fantastic week's return.

Clubs that have been in the PL in recent years have significantly more followers than us so clearly they are not just followed by their own fans. Example: Southampton 1.5M Coventry 205K Similar size cities, one club, almost identical average attendance. Southampton do not have 7.5 times...

Burnley we were unlucky to lose against.

I’m talking about 16/17. Shit team, worse kit.

Wait, that means that in 2016 you felt the standard of kits on offer were better than this season's?

100% this. The only time I ever watch any of these fan videos are opposition ones on a Sunday morning after we've beaten them.

Yes that's a fair shout. As a Southerner I can clearly tell the difference between Cov and Birmingham really but the Leicester and Cov ones are identical to my ears.

To anybody outside of the Midlands the Coventry accent is barely distinguishable from the Birmingham one. *Ducks for cover*

Not for me. The ET design makes the shirt look permanently wet. Its horrible.

Just to witness promotion with my girls and dad would be enough for me. Getting so close in recent times has just made me year n for it even more.

It'll be interesting to see if the pricing has any impact on the casual fan, especially with it being on TV. We had just over 27K home fans at the first two matches and just under 28K for the Norwich game.

I was just pointing out an example. Out of interest, if the crowd has 'fuck all to do with the action' should a result stand if, say 60 mins had been played? 45, 30?

Obviously quite far down the pyramid but the NL South match between Weymouth and Yeovil in 23/24 was abandoned after a medical emergency in the crowd on 75 mins. The result stood (1-0 Weymouth).

Just that he went over and was clutching it. Looked like he was playing with strapping on it as well.

Its definitely getting worse isn't. The Head of Retail told me before the Norwich game that the away pros were on site and would be on sale the following Tuesday. 6 days on from that and still nothing. Originally we were told they'd be out in the second week of August. An absolute shambles.

I'm worried about Rudoni's shoulder and Wright. If both plus EMC are out we're already looking stretched. Hopefully Birmingham come to play. If they do and If at least 2/3 of the above are available we'll pick them off.

For me it showed how far we've come. Started on the front foot with confidence against a parachute side and for half an hour Leicester looked like the away side. Then late on as we tired we made good changes and saw the game out. We look a proper team and no longer the plucky underdogs.
