    Jpt tickets £5 for home leg.

    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...

    Why rearrange Tranmere for midweek night in January?

    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...

    Why rearrange Tranmere for midweek night in January?

    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.

    Why rearrange Tranmere for midweek night in January?

    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.

    Why rearrange Tranmere for midweek night in January?

    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...

    Why rearrange Tranmere for midweek night in January?

    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?

    Weak foot...

    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.

    Why rearrange Tranmere for midweek night in January?

    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.

    Why rearrange Tranmere for midweek night in January?

    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...

    Why rearrange Tranmere for midweek night in January?

    I realise why they had to rearrange the Tranmere game. Why not put it in March or April? No reason I can think of. It was originally scheduled for January 5th and was postponed because of the FA cup match at Tottenham. Nothing to do with JPT

    Why rearrange Tranmere for midweek night in January?

    The stupidity of this fixture on a midweek night in January beggars belief. Why place a postponed game then when the temperature is likely to be minus 2? I have just counted and there are 6, yes 6 empty weeks in March and April when a midweek night match is quite an agreeable prospect. Only...

    Villa in the bottom 3

    I live in Dudley, lived in Birmingham before that and worked in Wolverhampton for many years. The reason Villa are the most hated is simple: a combination of firstly, jealousy as they have won the League and the European cup in living memory ... And secondly, their fans have always thought they...

    Kilbane explains Crewe outburst

    Such is the society we live in. I work in a school and see the lack of respect first hand ... swear at your parents, then your teacher, then a shop assistant, then a bobby. You get away with them all so, next step ... abuse people who annoy you. The street cleaners where I live receive shocking...

    Bradford Fans attitude to the JPT

    The away leg is during half term week so a lot of season ticket holders who are children or have children but live away from Coventry, like me, can go to this game when normal midweek Away games we cannot. All the tickets will be snapped up by season ticket holders for sure.

    12000 ??

    On tv all you saw was about 25 people behind the dugouts and a sprinkling of Preston fans. Saw more people on Hearsall Common walking their dogs when matches were on there.
