Alright my first wasps at the ricoh related whinge.

Which fuck nugget decided it was a good idea to remove the info about seat numbers from the concourse signs? Just wasted a good 30 seconds going up the wrong set of stairs.

It's empty

Thought it would be, should have been a tenner

Thought it would be, should have been a tenner

I get that it's the FA Cup and third game in a week, but considering how exciting it is at the minute, the reduced price and the extra motivation with today's opponents, it's a poor turn out.

 

[Great_Expectations]

No keeper on the bench......

It is not worth more than ten pounds, the fa need to look at their pricing rules maybe they need a ten is plenty but I couldn't make it today even if it was free.

What extra motivation about todays opponents? Playing Northampton isn't extra motivation. Its only a reduced price if you're not a season ticket holder, if you're a season ticket holder your paying £5 more than you would for a league match.

Anybody know what RCC has done?

 

[Nick]

Burge hoofing it won't work

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

No keeper on the bench......

Not really one on the pitch either

 

[sw88]

Thomas conceded a foul in what looked like a good challenge to me!

 

[Quball]

lets just hope he don't get sent off

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Goal to Northampton 1-0

 

[sw88]

And they score from it. free kick in, no one goes to it, close range finish

 

[Nick]

Burger stands still, they score. Silly free kick

 

[Quball]

fuck sake here we fucking go

 

[Nick]

We won't do anything with fortune up front, no pace or directness

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

When Charles-Cook came into the team he didn't concede for about 600 minutes.

Burge comes back in and its less than 10 minutes.

 

[chiefdave]

Awesome start :sarcasm:

 

[Nick]

Attacking build up too slow, everybody running away

 

[higgs]

Need to start keeping clean sheets

 

[Nick]

How long is fortune going to be on the floor for playing for free kicks today?

 

[Gazolba]

Cole must be injured. He's not going to get fitter by sitting out.

Not at all. With such a thin bench, why would you play someone you know won't last more than 45 minutes?

 

[sw88]

Inconvincing dive by Fortune after a great through ball from Ruben. Why'd he go down?

 

[Nick]

Great goal

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Goal Murphy

1-1

 

[skybluesam66]

yessssssssss

 

[sw88]

1-1, Murphy cuts in side after a pass for Fleck, and shoots from range and finds the bottom corner

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Yea Murphy- sounds great atmosphere. Back for next league game !

We spent a year playing in their stadium, much to the ridicule of many of the locals. In addition, we all knew they were bringing a big following, which always add motivation - hopefully I don't need to explain why.

ST price has no relevance.

Plus, we've just seen two goals in ten minutes and there are two exception goalkeepers on show.

 

[James Smith]

What's the story with the goal? Was it entirely down to Burge or something else as well? Oh and I see we've just evened things up, great now let's have a few more City please.

 

[chiefdave]

Is it going to be another goal fest?

lol if you think Northampton is some sort of grudge match you need help.The relevance it has is you said prices are reduced which isn't true for everyone.


And wait, did you just say Burge is an exceptional goalkeeper :laugh:

 

[sw88]

Jim gets away with what looked like a late challenge but ref says he won the ball. Won't complain! Although it looked like Thomas won more of the ball in the one where we conceded!

Poor defending a keeping. No pace behind it but no one anticipated the cross

Goal Northampton
