140 post since 13:40 this afternoon. His work here is done........

Before you start to wish for a second tier for St Mary's visit the "Stadium of Light" (Or Newcastle as well I understand)as an away fan. The atmosphere for the two cup games was dire with hardly any home fans and if you were unlucky enough to have a season ticket up in "the gods" you may as well stay at home and watch the game on the telly. It could be my age but I honestly struggled to tell who we had on the pitch (o.k. not helped by MoPo selections) I get the point about expanding as I can't justify a season ticket and getting one or two tickets takes a lot of planning and manipulation (I've only managed West Ham, Fulham and Albion this season and the rest look like selling out) but how often would we be treated to an experience like some of the Tuesday evening League one or Championship games (one of the Sheffield clubs in the snow springs to mind as it was horrible and not just because of the result) - God knows we can be quiet enough as it is. On the other hand a 40,000 seat St Mary's bursting at the seems For Barcelona.....

Well done - is that the second time you've started the post match reaction before the final whistle?

Can only read half the thread due to number user's on my ignore list.......

I've sort of traveled up from the South Coast. Working in Doncaster I went to Hull on Tuesday with a mate (who though he's a Northerner has followed Saints since he did time at RNAS Yoevilton) I've negotiated a weekend pass and I'll be at the Stadium of light tomorrow before going back down South next Friday. I've actually managed as many away games as home games this year.

The Colliery Tavern opposite the stadium was friendly enough for away fans for the league cup game. Park and ride was signposted off of Wessington way (followed the signs for the stadium from the A1m) Was a good night out (apart from the result - hope we do better this time.)

No sign of any snow in Doncaster. Rain stopped @ lunchtime and now blue skies. Looking forward to seeing my second away win tonight.

All Burnley now

Daft question. Any one got a spare ticket for this? Been over to the stadium today and it's sold out. E-mail: sevans@vulcantothesky.org

Top read, thanks for making a great day better!

Going to this with a mate from work (as we are half way there already!) Hope the team are more up for it than most of the posters on here

Gone to sort out Billy Sharp.

So without wanting to appear thick... Are all away games selling out? I know Norwich sold out but I thought that was because the club only went for a small allocation. I work in Doncaster so I'd hoped to go to the Hull game (what with it being on a Tuesday night and in February and all) is that likely to sell out as well? I can't justify a season ticket, by the time I get home at weekends half the season is gone!

Any contact details? I can't seem to do pm's on here. e-mail sevans@vulcantothesky.org
