Yes I was thinking on the drive home how the adversity of our situation is adding (somehow) a strength to us all.
We've been to the Rotherham and Barnsley games in the last 3 days.. there really does feel like a real esprit de corp amongst SP, the players and the fans.
Long may it continue.

I was behind the goal at the back of the stand, fantastic vocal support from the SBA and well done to Steven Pressley and the players.

But why so many police and why was bar closed soon as game started?

Definitely felt like goals were sucked in by the SBA today!!

Rendition of PUSB just before the equaliser was one of the best I've heard for a while.

I had forgotten how good the football away day can be. But along with a few others this season I have been reminded just how enjoyable it can be. I haven't enjoyed going to the game this much for years.

We were told the bar would be closed for booze after the game started as they wouldn't sell booze at Half Time.

The bar was probably shut because of the MK bar being wrecked
I dunno why the detour the Police gave us to the ground taking 50 minutes instead of 20 it should have took

With respect to the bar I was talking a friend of mine who supports Derby and he told me that they didn't serve booze at Half Time either when they went there.

Told Northampton Police advised local police we are a problem away and to close bar at half time.

Just back to Leeds having stopped off for several beers in the the Old Number Seven after the game. Had some good chats with a load of very pleasant Barnsley fans. It was very enlightening that they are as fed up their situation as we are with ours. Haven't enjoyed an away day so much since Doncaster last year.

We walked from Barnsley town centre to the ground with a couple of Barnsley fans... had a nice chat... about football, the power of Sky.. how the divide between the 'haves and the have nots' widens.. how they were glad to have Dagnall back!!!
We agreed to disagree about the result though.... great stuff!!

I thought it was 45% per team. So yes they do.

I think you might have just made that up?

The number of police was entirely consistent with the size of the following and it seemed a pretty hands off police presence for the most part. Closing the bar might well be club policy.

I don't think the followings at place like MK, Vale, Wolves, Walsall etc, where the behaviour has been largely impeccable, had any impact on the policing of the game.

They said on CWR that Northampton police had asked for the bar to be kept closed at half time.

I did make it up.....its an assumption based on a large away following being there.
