Football Special

It kind of sums up the ridiculousness of the whole situation, empty seats with willing customers waiting to pay for them and instead ticket office managers faffing about and they get left empty. Fulham really is the easiest club to just go in the home end for so there is that option, I've done it a few times, just wear a cravat and carry a cheese board to merge in with the locals

They've been amazing last few weeks drawing with Arsenal and beating Aston Villa and Liverpool, must be wondering why they couldn't do that earlier in the season

Hull having a 7 point cushion and enough winnable games left i don't think we'll catch them.

Bristol City did a good job getting themselves knocked out making 8 changes including putting Joe Lumley in goal at Port Vale last night

Agree Hull looked nothing special, They play twice in the league before we play again Millwall and Wrexham, will be interesting to see how things stand after that

Hull have had 5 away wins in a row as well, seem to be good picking up points on the road

Ipswich v Hull feels like a big game tonight, we want a home win?

I'm told Eight Bells at 10am but haven't checked that myself

I still think Ipswich will get 2nd

It does make sense if you consider every decision made is based on bank balance and not Sporting integrity unfortunately

I remember after the comeback at Leicester away we'd got within a point of the play offs, that Charlton home game really set us back unfortunately

The Johnny Haynes stand towards the Putney End looks like the place to go for those in the home end, go old school, get numbers together cause a bit of aggro and they'll walk you round the pitch perimeter and put you into the away end

You only live once pal, carpe diem, stop worrying about what might happen and just go for it. Imagine if big Lawrie had that attitude in 1976? We wouldn't be wearing our limited edition £120 shirts now would we. Also stop wishing harm on Wrexham players, bad karma

Looks like we're not getting any more tickets so they've chose to leave 1200 empty seats in the putney end, very odd. Tickets on open general sale in the home end so no doubt plenty of Saints fans will end up in there instead, baffling.

Yeah their reserves will beat our reserves. I am absolutely certain Tonda will have been instructed to exit the competition in this game. The following round (quarter final) is on 4th April, Easter weekend. The Premier league has no fixtures scheduled for that weekend, left free to allow their teams to focus on the cup game. On the other hand we have two fixtures scheduled that weekend v Ipswich and Wrexham, the club won't want the backlog rearranging those with full focus being on getting into the play offs. A sad reality of modern football

They decided anyone who tolerated the away games of 24/25 season deserve to keep their away credits for an eternity

I agree *if* we do it will go down to the last game , could be a good excuse to combine a bank holiday weekend in Blackpool with Preston away , big ticket allocation etc

Agree with that, I think Tonda was trying to be too clever again trying to coast through the game with low intensity and you could see players deliberately slowing it down and playing in first gear

Considering the run of form we've just had its a shame to still be 4 points adrift of the play offs, fair play to Wrexham, Hull and Millwall they have stepped up and kept going. I've still got a feeling Ipswich will get 2nd

Other results not going our way today

That will be a few weeks out for Stewart then

No i was with some Man City fans after the game, we were already relegated on 11 points pre-match, they had Foden, De Bruyne and Haaland up front and at the time needed points for Champions league qualifying It *should* have been a straight forward win for them.

I remember how shocked Man City fans were when they only managed to draw 0-0 at St Mary's towards the end of last season, these results happen

Not when it's on sale to just members, you'd both need to have a membership / season ticket. Hopefully we get more tickets and they just put them on general sale

Yeah but we've sold out the extra 600 now , seems silly as any Saints fan can just go on Fulhams website and buy in the home end , doubt they'll announce anything over the weekend now
