RonManager Posted 8 November, 2009 Author Share Posted 8 November, 2009 oh dear oh dear... living in Kettering (for my sins), isn't like living in the sticks fwiw. I have an in-law in "The force" and it isnt all sweetness and light!! Excuse my facetiousness. I once lived in Milton Keynes when it was Bletchley (1956-63).

Whitey Grandad Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 There are rules about loanees in the FA Cup and the loaned club has to get permission from the loaner club, so I would assume as no permission was given he would be ineligible to play. Indeed you are quite correct. For temporary (not season-long) loans written permission has to be given by the lending club by 12:00 noon on the Friday before the date fixed for playing the round in order for the player to be 'eligible'. As for disciplinary procedures and bans, I believe that these only apply to games for which the player is 'eligible'. Of course, if Trotman were to collect a fifth booking and therefore a ban, what is there to stop Southampton asking Preston for written permission knowing full well that he is banned from playing the next match for which he would be 'eligible'?

Whitey Grandad Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 As Preston will not allow Neil T to play in the FA Cup and he is on 4 bookings it would be nice if we could arrange for him to get booked against Norwich (21 Nov), so that his one match ban is on the 28th Nov. (I'm assuming the 7 day rule is still in force (suspension starts 7 days after last booking). If they have changed it to come into line with red cards (suspensions start immediately) then make that 5th booking against Hartlepool). The 7-days no longer apply: 'the suspension will now be automatic as opposed to the current seven day rule.' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 You can't predict who you will draw in the FA Cup so you just deal with what you get. A home draw would have been nice, but away to a struggling side in Div 2 must be good news as far as progressing to round 3 is concerned. I can start dreaming of a mid-table premier side who will underestimate us so we help them to start concentrating on trying to stay up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NN2 Saint Posted 8 November, 2009 Share Posted 8 November, 2009 ****ing hell spend 3 years at Uni in Northampton and the Saints don't get em once. We play em the year before I moved there and the year after I moved back sod's law. Been to there ground a fair few times watching Saints and others on boring Saturday afternoons. The Bowling place next to the ground where a load of our lot were before the last few matches has changed and now the bar is a lot smaller than what it was. Sixfields pub is fairly decent fairly big and when I was last there with a few Orient fans there was no trouble. Anyone getting the train up is probably better sticking in the town centre and getting a taxi/bus out to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can fill it, but personally I think it might be a bit over-ambitious for a ground that many have visited before and with so many other games on over the next couple of months.

JRM Posted 10 November, 2009 Share Posted 10 November, 2009 I predict we will only sell 2000 tickets for this, probably still be on sale on the day of the game. Quite a few are making the effort for Hartlepool away the Tuesday before and Walsall away the weekend after. Would be great if we sold the lot though.

Hope we sell that many to justify the decision That's a bold move that will hopefully be justified by the fans. (the previous regimes at SMS would never have done that) Good to see that the new regime recognise the importance that vocal backing can have away from home, and are prepared to fight for tickets for our fans.

JRM Posted 12 November, 2009 Share Posted 12 November, 2009 I think there are plenty of tickets to go round for this, but if we beat Brighton and Norwich might just sell out. Anyone catching the train up worth checking out the 4 for 2 group save deals, think it might be restricted to going via Clapham Juntion - Watford and train from there rather than taking the tube. Although you can get a group save to London with travelcard then another group save return from Euston to Northampton. Driving looks easy enough with the A34, M40 and A43 only roads needed between southampton and Northampton taking 2 hours. Does anyone know are they selling one stand first then the other, or will be have a choice of behind the goal or on the side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its gonna look embarrassing with the side stand only half full. Well SFC have guaranteed sales of 2000 so if we don't sell that many it will cost the club and they won't do it again. Strange that they are not really pushing sales on the OS. I'll be there because it's virtually a home game for me but I hope to see at least 1999 fellow Saints there.
