Some clubs do seat maps for their away allocations so you can choose where you sit. Might help a bit. There is an issue with fans not sitting in their allocated seat, that's for certain. Saturday was different, I always head to my seat, always, but I couldn't even get to it, they blocked access...
Meh. Stoke get notoriously low gates for FA Cup games. We might take a few, but they'll have about 8K rattling around. All a bit of a non event. The only worrying thing is we might win. Should say, I never normally take that view and always want us to go as far as possible, but genuinely don't...
Yep, coach 3 not in Sudbury to take us to game and not there after. These things happen I guess. Bit annoying that I had stuff on the coach that I guess now lost. One of those I suppose, nobody's fault really, just a crap day.
SBA. Coach wasn't there after the game, so not sure what happened in the end but luckily managed to jump in the car with someone. Had better away days it's fair to say
It was awful, really stressful tbh. Always go in my dedicated seat usually, but arrived just after kick off today as coach had broke down. Were not allowed to access the stairs to our seat, so we went down the next and ended up on the gangway with a load of others. Cue an on-going battle for the...
Yep, a top band that sells out a gig or a restaurant that fills all their covers have failed on pricing apparently.
Not to mention a football club is a community asset as well as a business. The more people you get through the gates and in the habit of going, the better protected you are when...
You can point it out all you like, it's still wrong. It's short termism. There is value in getting more people through the gates that goes beyond the bottom line. If there was any sense to that logic, teams that sell out every week would keep ramping prices to stupid levels, but they generally...
We sell out the cheaper cat b games (4 in a row now), but not the expensive ones, although boxing day will be the exception. Not sure what that proves other than we could sell out every week if we wanted to.
Bristol City could be our lowest turn out of the season, lower that Albion even. Cat A...
Could be going to Ipswich with no BTA, Sakamoto, Wright and now maybe Rudoni. Will get called names saying I'd settle for a draw, but 100% would. Could be a tough month, but this team keeps surprising us so who knows.
Both Thomas and Kitching have been outstanding this season. We play a ridiculously high line and given the ground they cover they're going to get caught out from time to time. Even at Boro at 2-2, late in the game, they are throwing themselves forward and are involved in both late goals. On...
I note they have opened those block 9 seats for Saturday but not for subsequent games so I guess it was deliberate, so will probably open up those additional seats based on demand.
They're a decent bunch in the main. Pretty humble and don't have a chip on their shoulder like some other clubs in the north east. Stuff in the ground was kids playing up, but I've heard a few stories from recent visits of fans being picked off and bullied on the way back into town. Not on that.
Yeah. I've stopped the habit of going into every game fearing this is the one where we come unstuck, we're clearly not that team. But, this one worries me, expect a reaction from them and they'll sit and make it hard for us. Any team that can rock up to Ipswich and win 3-0 has a big performance...
Think Rudoni might start. I sense Lampard keen to get him back in. Only concern is Simms and lack of cover, he gets a knock early in the game and what options do we have, play a false 9? That would have to be Rudoni I guess, but if he's cooked after 70 minutes, it leaves us with very few options.
The main trigger seemed to be 5 or 6 of our fans crossing the netting to goad them. That may have been after the 1st missiles were thrown but it didn't help.
Looks like they have reduced the amount of seats available in block 9. Segregation seems to have been made slightly bigger again. Happened tonight, so not sure if in response to issues at Boro.
Your basing this on individual games. Wrexham fan I know says it was by far their best home atmosphere all season, said it's been really flat for some games. That's football. Boro on Tuesday will probably be up for it because of the occasion, but run of the mill games? Last two visits there...
I thought today was very good overall, but I get annoyed (more than I should) by how early people leave for half time and how long it takes them to come back. Does something happen in the concourse I don't know about? The amount of goals scored just before or after half time this season when...
I'd orgotten about that, I was referring to the opposite corner when EMC (I think) was hacked down. But yeah, that also was a bit of a spark. Missed the missile being thrown but saw there player move it off the pitch. No need.
