About 60 seats left showing as available. Think only block 13 left to open now (unless they surprise us).

I reckon the club have held loads of tickets back. They can't announce its pay on the day with only 60 seats left.

Surely that’s when you’d have to

Most of the 60 gone now. About a dozen left.

Wonder if we'll see a bit of rotation tonight with this busy period, particularly as we have a decent squad now.

O’Hare will presumably have to be rested for one of these two games. Wright looked knackered plus Sakamoto, Bidwell and van Ewijk looked a little leggy.

I think Sakamoto has to play every game until we can get some reinforcements in January, even if he is tired.

 

[Martin180]

Think Palmer and Simms will start tonight . Replacing possibly O’Hare and Godden

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

Just 3 singles left now (yes, I am meant to be doing my tax return...)

And risk injury? No, we have to use the squad as all teams do at this time if year.

Think we will save the rotation for the Boro game. Can go up there and look to be a bit more solid, but want to keep the positive momentum at home.

Mark
Doug
Tynan

you’re missing sales guys

 

[Sick Boy]

I assume Fadz will play. Robins is a loyalty manager and I think will feel Fadz will be disrespected if he chooses Binks ahead of him.
Assuming Kitching is out....

Let’s hope not - fully expect Binks to play.

 

[Deleted member 9744]

I agree unless Sheaf comes in and Latibeaudiere moves back. He doesn't deserve to be dropped.

That is all on the assumption that the Kitching appeal is unsuccessful.

They’ve just opened block 13 for over 18s only due to incidents at the Sheff Wed game. Didn’t think anything happened? Feels like the SAG are desperately looking for something every game to complain about

Presume that the delay in getting it opened was waiting for permission from the SAG?

Yep no doubt they were looking through footage from Boxing Day to find one person who didn’t sit where he should have…

Is tonights match classed as a Saturday. So wont be on red button ?

 

[pusbccfc]

Block 13 only open to aged 18 and over . Are there any other stadiums in Europe with these measures?

 

[chiefdave]

What incidents? It's so frustrating how we seem to be the only club in the country that seem to have to deal with this constant shit from the SAG.

They need to be called out on it more and made to justify their decisions as at the moment, given there's no less trouble at our games than elsewhere in the country, the only thing it points to is their own incompetence.

 

[chiefdave]

Cash Turnstiles are not open for home supporters for this game

Is this the same every game or another weird decision for tonight to put people off coming?

Apparently people throwing stuff.

Did anyone actually see that happen?

There's no seats available for pay on the gate. It's nearly fully sold out.

they've sold the seats already

Who would you play right wing instead out of the current squad?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Or agreeing how

 

[chiefdave]

How the fuck can it be sold out when the club say they are expecting 25K. This stuff really needs sorting out, its embarrassing

God nows how many ticket sales we lose when people look, see no tickets available, and don't keep checking to see if they're being drip fed out

 

[wingy]

We could rest MVE and slot Lati there if others are available ie Binks or Kichting and Sheaf to come back in?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Block 5 next??

it'll be tickets in the away end, Swansea maybe bring 1k to 1.5k abd they will be in a stand that holds 6k and they haven't yet got it ready to be split support

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Doug won’t be happy

 

[DazzleTommyDazzle]

Doug won’t be happy

Should hope not!

 

[David O'Day]

Doug won’t be happy

it can only be a case of replacing the roller shutters given the stand is designed to be split support

He still won’t be happy
We discussed this last July

well someone should fix the rollershutters then

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

If that’s the answer they absolutely should

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

It works when the away team bring 4k or whatever, but for a lot of games (like this), you end up with a sell-out at about 25k or whatever.

I really think the ultra section should go behind the goal, put safe standing in. Move the away fans to the corner and police it a bit better. The hard-core will still be close enough to sing songs at the away fans, and the attendances won't be dependent on how many away fans come to the game. Therefore increasing revenue, home supporters in the stadium, and atmosphere.

 

[David O'Day]

If that’s the answer they absolutely should

what they claim is the issue

the stand itself is designed to be used by supports of both teams so that can't be the issue
