OttawaSaint Posted 28 February, 2018 Share Posted 28 February, 2018 Heard that we won't even play the game and just forfeit. That way the players stay hungry and don't get the associated downturn in morale that really losing would have caused. That way we can concentrate on drawing every game in the league because drawing is the same as winning but keeps the players hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 28 February, 2018 Share Posted 28 February, 2018 From footballgroundguide Car Parking There is a good sized car park located at the ground behind the away stand, which costs £4. The entrance to this car park is off Bescot Crescent next to the Park Inn Hotel and is signposted as 'Blue Zone'. The car park which is for the use of visiting supporters only (there are two other car parks available at the ground for home fans), normally lends itself to a quick getaway after the match. More or less opposite the away end is*Bescot Railway Station, which also offers pay and display car parking for £2. Alternatively, there is some street parking to be had off Wallowes Lane.There is also the option of renting a private driveway near the Banks's*Stadium via*YourParkingSpace.co.uk. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Cheers. Ended up booking a driveway close to stadium using https://www.justpark.com (nothing close by on yourparkingspace.co.uk).

ericb Posted 28 February, 2018 Share Posted 28 February, 2018 It will definitely reach general sale I reckon. 4,600 tickets? No easy route up there. Even at £20 a ticket and if the club put on free coach travel (wouldn't be surprised if they did that) then it'll still make general sale. Just hope that doesn't damage the atmosphere to be honest since our larger allocation atmospheres are normally f*cking woeful, and i'd guess a fair few will travel with their eye on getting a ticket if we get to a semi final at Wembley.

This will definitely reach general sale, in fact I don't think we'll sell out 4600 being an early kick off, coaches leave 5.30 am and live on BBC enough to put off some fans, remember we couldn't even sell out the semi final away leg at Anfield last year, I reckon we'll take a similar number 3600 , maybe a bit less.

alehouseboys Posted 1 March, 2018 Share Posted 1 March, 2018 Although some of us just wouldn't have used it anyway, I really can't believe the club haven't laid on free coach travel for this for those that would. After the p*sstake over the date delay, stupid early start for those travelling and live on the box, they should have put on buses...and could've even helped out their own fans for a change with this 'Away Supporters Fund'. Stoke will be bussing down 2,000 fans this weekend for free (they also only pay £20 for a visitors match ticket at SMS) and they do that for every away game. If Swansea is rearranged in the next few weeks that will be 5 away games in a row coming up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree 100%. Personally the bingo bus isn't for me (even if it's free) but also aware I'm absolutely the minority, if we want to fill 4600 seats (and give our players the advantage of a huge, motivated away following) putting on coaches for free to get people up and back at such a horrible KO day/ time is a no brainer. You're looking at an outlay similar to a week's wages for a 1st team player, there must be a moneyball data geek somewhere that can put together a spreadsheet for Ralph showing the increased probability of a win based on crowd support...

Have you really met many people that don't want others to sing? Wanting people to sit down is hardly unreasonable, not everyone is able to stand easily for 90 minutes and many have views obscured by those in-front. Standing can be very selfish at football games if obstructing the view of those behind you. Edited 1 March, 2018 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standing can be very selfish at football games if obstructing the view of those behind you. You really don't understand football do you? Or nuanced sentences either for that matter, since if you did you'd understand that it's not about them wanting others not to sing, more them not singing themselves. Anyway don't you have something else to do, like correcting children for calling snow men men when they don't have genitals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you have to sing to enjoy football? It is possible to enjoy the game without singing and just watch it. People enjoy things in different ways and don't have to sing just because others do.

Mr Brightside Posted 1 March, 2018 Share Posted 1 March, 2018 Personally I expect to stand at away games. Took my boys to their first game last round and told them before I got the tickets there would be a chance that they may not be able to see too well. In the end it wasn’t too bad. They had a blast, loved being part of a big singing crowd. Wish every game had an away atmosphere, closest you can get to replicating the good old days of the terraces. Ho hum.

Saint_clark Posted 1 March, 2018 Share Posted 1 March, 2018 Agreed. Been there, done that. If you'd rather sit down then move away from the area where people who are standing and singing are congregating, simple. Safe standing being introduced would solve this problem massively.
