We had similar in Limerick (81 I think), height of the Bobby Sands protests so they were never happy with all the Union flags on display. They refused to play the National Anthem before as they should customarily do so we gave a full-throated rendition. After, we came out of the ground the OB penned us against the wall of the ground, moments later a big mob came piling out of the estate opposite and the OB just melted away. We had some decent lads there who started giving it back which coincided with the local constabulary’s reappearance and nipped a potential dodgy situation in the bud. Good trip though.

It was grim, since heard it wasn’t due to the earlier incident on the M27 but a hole in a pavement on Spicers Hill at Rushington which caused the chaos. I’ve got home quicker from Brentford than St Mary’s on Saturday.

Yeah, shame about the weather…when this kicks off tonight it will be 10 years to the day 7,000 of us when in the opposite direction to the San Siro…

Doesn't look like too many use it going on the number of responses. We did go in by bus a few weeks back and did notice the P&R go flying past as we were stuck at a bus stop and in traffic so guess it goes direct to the city centre. But it wouldn't have mattered how you tried going westbound yesterday it was gridlocked, over an hour from city centre back towards the M271. Sounds like it was from a bit of chaos on the M27 from earlier in the day.

I'm pretty sure our school closed early for a bit, long time ago mind,. This is sold out for home fans, ticket exchange open, hopefully everyone is as up for it as they were last weekend.

🎶 "Oh, Frankie-Frankie, Frankie-Frankie-Frankie-Frankie Worthington" 🎶 Great entertainers from the 70s like Bestie, Stan Bowles, et al, yep, shame we didn't get FW a year or two earlier.

Haven’t seen anything definite but Tonda said shouldn’t be long and Downes hasn’t ruled himself out of Saturday. Dobbin grew into that game last night, bit more promising. Excellent result. And watched a stream of the game, were those commentators on a bet to how many times they could mention the skates over the 90mins?

Yep, bit of a classic...the U21s involved in a similar game tonight up in that neck-ish of the woods https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/cmzxl5z0z3e0t

They will have had an extra days rest against a side who have just come through an intense local derby, hopefully momentum counts for us, a point wouldn’t be the worst.

Good shout that, they will certainly be looking to chop Sienza at any opportunity but they’ll be a bit more reluctant if he’s cutting inside around the box.

That's the fear..........

We're all hoping for a demolition-derby but they will no doubt bung everyone behind the ball and hope to catch us on the break. We really do need to score early to open them up, then we could tear them up. Crowd needs to be intense and up for it from the off.

Less than 30 tickets left of the 2,542 allocation. Scrap that, they've just released the last two blocks, about a thousand seats.
