Yeah, this.

I don’t like these rumours being spread on here about him being a party animal, that he’s too hungover to play or whatever.

It’s all very well posting rumours about player X is going to join, player Y looks like he might leave etc. But posting rumours like this without any proof is out of order IMO.

Yes he has previous, yes the rumours might be true but as above let’s leave it to Robins to decide what happens with Bright and let’s not hang him before he’s found guilty based off some spurious internet rumours.

May have changed, certainly. But thinking back to his first spell here, I recall a Sunday game we played and he was awful. And I know for an absolute fact he was out in Birmingham the night before smashing down bottles of Hennessy.

Here’s hoping he has changed, eh?

What quantity exactly as it's a fact?

Gah, couldn’t tell you that - it was 3 years ago!

 

[larry_david]

Don't think this is available anywhere.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Looks like we’ve sold 1000 at the absolute most

Just had a look myself, very sparse! Some clubs do the 1st round free for ST holders

 

[shmmeee]

Silly it’s not available to stream TBH. I genuinely can’t be arsed going to this but would’ve paid a tenner to watch it on TV.

I would love to go but isolating

 

[Kieranp96]

Anyone know of it's being shown on TV? Not currently in the uk.

Aye same here. I'd happily pay to watch this online and i'm sure a lot would.

I'm going tonight, everyone loves and cup run and to keep a winning momentum going, but I can't wait for us to take it for granted, play the kids and 2nd string thinking "it's only Northampton" end up 2-0 down before half time and start making panic substitutions to try and salvage it. Bit of a local derby, give them the big boys mark, win the game and on to the next one I say!

I think we'll field a strong side
We would like to progress if possible

Good to know, no point throwing these games away, be happier fielding strong initially and giving kids a run out if we are in control. plus theirs surely s benefit getting mins into the 1st team lads legs considering the stop/start pre season.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

I've planned my evening out accordingly and now it isn't being shown?

Please say it is on somewhere.

No unless it’s being shown by some very obscure foreign channel

I just hope the Taliban don't take Kabul before kick off. There's some pretty good channels out that way for this sort of thing.

I won't hold my breath though.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Bright certainly has a touch of the Whealans. Maybe MR needs to get him in the box room.

Likewise until I went to buy a pass and saw I couldn’t. Assumed it was steamed via another service but no. Absolutely bizarre when the competition could do with some money in it which would encourage teams to take it a bit more seriously.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

I wonder if any of our fringe players might go to Northampton on loan after the game. A see before you buy kinda thing. Could be a good move for howley to get match minutes.

Happened last season with Eccles to Gillingham after our first cup game of the season.

Ryan Howley is still a scholar (U18), clubs don’t tend to loan them out, prefer to keep them in house.

I can't believe I just watched that all the way through.

Its on at he CBS arena

Completely disagree. Just because you can't be arsed shouldn't mean it should be streamed. That would encourage more people to stay away.

Last year was great* but we are allowed back in the ground now.

Caveat being people abroad etc, but that's another conversation.

They’re probably going to lose money on this because nobody would go anyway. Streaming at least gives them a chance to break even.

 

[Nick]

Might have a gander down, will see what the lineup is an hour before and then decide.

If it is a strong team I will probably go.

Possibly but it's a shit excuse really. Last year was hopefully a massive one off.

 

[SBAndy]

Would have been interesting to trial it in the competition. The amount of surveying EFL did on streaming opportunities last season suggested to me that it was going to become more widespread. Seems not, so far at least.

Even if it was the same ticket price, or for away games only, or whatever. I do think there’s a big opportunity being missed.

 

[theferret]

Just got tickets. You consider not going to games like this, but then what else is there to do on a Wednesday night in Ash Green?

Couple of beers before the game, watch the city and laugh at some giddy teenagers from Northampton giving it large on their big night out. Lovely stuff.

 

[skybluesam66]

So far this season we have had :-


N Forest = Too expensive and on TV so Im not going
Northampton = Im not going even though its only £12 - wish I could watch it on TV

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Its on at he CBS arena

Great, thanks mate.

Now I just need to find a telescope that can see from The Netherlands to Coventry, then we should be alright.

Couldn't you fly over for the game with Peter Pan?

 

[SleepyGinger]

Why are people shocked it isn’t being streamed? They were only streamed last year as you couldn’t go in person.

 

[pipkin73]

These say they are showing it

Northampton have sold over 750 tickets for tonight's game. Not a bad effort.
