Shame it's not away. Alfreton would obviously be preferable from an interest pov but would be good to welcome Walsall back to St Mary's for first time since the final day in 2011. Had a great crack with loads of their supporters that day.

Ahhh yes that's the one cheers. That Blackpool match is the one Bialkowski dropped a howler and never really recovered if my memory isn't failing me.

Leicester too, David fucking Nugent. Wasn't it Bristol who ended our long winning run at SMS and meant we fell just short of a whole calendar year?

Leicester also broke financial regulations to get promoted in 2014, without which they'd have never won the PL two years later. So hardly in a position to bitch and moan too much. What goes around comes around and all that.

Interested to see how long the appeal process takes. Surely it needs to be quite quickly as it'll be farcical if it gets to April time and it's still uncertain? Either way I hope they stay up and think they will.

Suspect there may be some twitchy arses in West London and East Manchester upon hearing this news... A joke really. Suspect they'll still stay up which will be hilarious.

Website does say initial so I would assume there is a chance of more. Think they normally have at least 7/8k empty seats so would like to think we'd get at least another 1000

Yeah you can tell the ground was designed primarily to combat hooliganism.

They did let everyone through eventually when the crowd started to get really congested. Beyond stupid to do it in first place though. If that was a Leeds/Cardiff/Brum type club reckon it'd have kicked right off before the game.

Woke with a massive smile this morning. Can't beat a stoppage time winner right in front of you. Gonna be singing this all week I reckon. Not this exact version mind 😅

No feeling of satisfaction from a win like that haha you fucking lunatic. Luckily all of us in the ground thought it was fucking marvellous! Made being kept in afterwards much more fun than I thought it was going to be 5 minutes previous. Not long got home and just stuck a bit of Johnny Cash on 😁

Sold.

Have unexpectedly got a spare for today if anyone's interested? Can meet in London Bridge area. Aiming to be there about 1. Drop me a PM with number or email if interested.

Suspect we'll be kept in for a while post game for that exact reason. Can see the buses on the way in being a nightmare, imagine they won't have anywhere near enough and there'll be huge queues of both sets of fans. Would advise people to avoid. I'm probably still gonna have a drink in London Bridge but get the jubilee line to Bermondsey and walk from there.

First come first served.

Who charges over face value to a fellow fan? Cunts trick that imo.

You'd never get that many flares into an away game in England. Bet Saturday will feel like going through security at Heathrow just to get in the ground.

I enjoyed having the world cup in the winter rather than summer. Should alternate it every tournament.

^^Don't smoke crack kids

Agreed. Let's hope they don't appoint him til next week as otherwise I can see them turning us over.

Definitely no trains. Showing as bus replacements on trainline. I suspect many will still go via the London bridge to south bermondsey route but I think it'll be fucking horrendous with queues etc as you just know there won't be anywhere near enough buses both in quantity and regularity. I'm still undecided but will probably jump on the jubilee line to either Bermondsey or Canada water. Both 25-30 mins to the ground.

Decent atmosphere at this end of the ground now, can't really hear the Northam which says it all. Definitely considering moving my seat further back after the Ipswich game.

I seem to recall there being quite a bit of trouble in the home ends for the L1 promotion game. Didn't the match confirm their relegation too? Understandable that they weren't too happy at loads of ours celebrating in home ends!
