Bad news for England fans hoping to stock up on some Duty Free in Mexico City https://www.reuters.com/world/mexico-cocaine-seizures-may-reflect-world-cup-demand-experts-say-2026-06-30/

I think anyone who has watched the games so far would make Mexico favourites, dont think i can be bothered to stay up all night for it , possibly avoid the score and watch on catch up first thing Monday morning

Most of these African teams have core players who play in big European leagues so it shouldn't be surprising to see them competing, Congo were good

Last day to renew today, can still obviously buy a season ticket after that but at a higher price. Will be interesting to see what is available once the "reserved" season ticket seats are released

I agree, would be a huge loss for us and has real potential, like Fernandes where West Ham doubled their money in one season i see THB value going a similar way Shame Newcastle spent their GK budget on that French lad, could have done with them chucking us £20M for Ramsdale

11.59pm on 2nd July

There's still two days left for renewals, plenty will do it last minute

Yeah closer to when tickets start to go on sale , would expect by mid-July

That league one game at Christmas was a joke wasn't it. Couldn't see a thing due to fog and lost. According to this there is park and ride buses still. https://www.cu-fc.com/fans/getting-to-the-game/#train

I love a cup run but absolutely hate what they've done to this competition, teams in Europe join in round 3 and kept apart in the fixed draw to ensure as many 'big' teams as possible make last rounds

Its a clever move to have the first round as the "season opener" , usually this is the forgotten midweek game largely ignored by even fans of lower league clubs, I think this time clubs will play stronger line ups like they do in the final pre-season , crowds will be higher on a weekend. I've seen Skates asking if West Ham will give them up to 9000 like they do in fa cup allocations, hopefully they move to the Sunday on sky so we dont have to mingle with them around Waterloo and Liverpool Street

I've heard different stories on this, it was suggested to the clubs that allowing each other to have 2700 allocations could be supported if organised transport was used to concentrate police resources in one place

Unfortunately Bristol City away is FA Cup 4th round weekend so if either side makes it through this will get moved to midweek AGAIN for our GUARANTEED DEFEAT at ASHTON GATE

Yeah we're bound to have key players away in the build up to that

First 7 games we didn't win any of those corresponding fixtures last season?
