Is it easy enough parking at Meadow Hall. Will it be easy to get back there after the game ? Thanks in advance.

We usually park at Meadowhall..... although i haven't been for a while, i think its two trams..... one back to centre, then another out to Meadowhall

Any good suggestions on parking for Friday from those who went last week?

Not been on match day but there is park & ride at Middlewood. Get the tram a couple of stops - don't be tempted to walk as may get ticketed.
We got the park and ride on Saturday, decent option. Depends if you get there early enough to get a spot, we got there about 3 hours before kick off. Took a while getting out afterwards but it's light controlled so wasn't too bad once you're on the road.

A lot of people were saying fans were just buying tickets for the points for this. From what i can see there are loads of people asking for tickets. Should be a great day out again Friday, hopefully we can see some of Torp.

You can go to Meadowhall P&R too which is close to M1 but quite a long trip on the tram.

Just worked out a way how to watch the game for free on Friday night, it's on Paramount Plus Australia.

1. Set your VPN to Australia on your firestick ( I'm using Surfshark: Adelaide, Australia)
2. Download Paramount Plus App on Firestick.
3. They're offering a Free 7 Day trial - I've just created a Gmail address to register a new account.
4. Make sure you turn off the Auto Renewal - this will be in your Amazon Account subscriptions.
5. Choose sports in the App menu and the games are at the top - the City game is ready to go on Friday night when you scroll right.

I know they're shit but only playing with 10 would be very left field

Had a read of this to see the palmer incident video. Read the 3 pages, this comment lol

"Coventry falling out with us and trying to create a rivalry is like Rotherham having beef with Real Madrid"

Hoping we give the championship real Madrid a 3rd spanking this friday,
He's clearly got us down as Real Madrid. There's nowt like dissing your own club.

Udinese have also been ordered to play a game behind closed doors, but doesn’t seem like there’s been any punishment for anyone at all in relation to the incident at our game. Oh well.

Put the bit part players and kids in for this one, I've got no interest in progressing and we should concentrate on the league imo. Can't let ourselves be distracted by a competition we won't win.

A distraction that brings in extra prize, interest and ticket money the further you go of course.

We won’t win the league either
This is what I've been thinking. Realistically we have a slim chance of promotion with the strength of the 4 teams at the top. I don't think it's impossible but I'm not sure that 1 or 2 more games in the cup will derail our push for playoffs. I think that geberally speaking a good cup run is galvanising for a team and fun for the fans. I've never understood the concept of resting players for the FA Cup. Full strength team please MR

Have you watched any of the top four lately ?

We have an excellent chance of getting in the play offs and staying in the top 6. I’d rather build a decent cushion of points between us and 7th place than hope we can somehow make it to the quarters of the cup. The cup is dominated by the big clubs anyway because they have the squads to negotiate the early rounds. I’d love a cup run but realistically I’d prefer a top 6 finish over the quarters of the cup. Think most fans would
We don’t have to choose

No, but the cup has lost its lustre over the past 20 years, mainly due to teams playing their reserve teams. Taking Southampton to extra time and losing 2-1 didn’t do much for our league form after that a few years back. We gave everything that day and still lost. Top 6 over the cup anyday
They aren’t mutually exclusive

I think we have a big enough squad to be able to rest players, use subs liberally and still put out a competitive team to beat Sheff Wed.
