Football Special

I remember going to Bolton 1992 in 5th round, took massive numbers, I was just a kid, remember two blokes walking around the terrace with bags full of cut up newspaper saying take handfuls to chuck in the air when the players run out, different era , no one begging Branfoot to play the kids in those days 😞

Setting off now for the day, enthusiasm gradually being sapped, you're right this is all completely pointless isn't it Decided to leave my cardboard cut out FA. CUP covered in foil at home 😞

Very very impressive this evening weren't they, get the ball forward so quickly

Nah will be a one match ban i think

We'll inevitably drop a place in the league today, hoping Derby won't improve their goal difference too much, would be a shame to miss out on play offs due to goals scored by Ben Brerton Diaz

Watched some of Oxford win away at Preston last night, classic unpredictable championship but no way can we go into that saying piss easy like you say they've already beaten us once

I've resigned myself to the fact we'll make several changes , avoiding suspensions shouldn't matter though as yellow cards are competition specific so unless a player gets a straight red they won't be suspended for a league game. Hoping the sun will shine and the 4800 Saints fans will have a go at making it a decent atmosphere, enjoy the day regardless

I've suggested the following to FAB: Dear FAB Thank you for everything that you do for us true supporters. I feel that things are finally going in the right direction but I'd like to suggest the following for management of away ticket sales. 1) always take the smallest possible ticket allocation offered, this will allow us to phase out the casual fan 2) priority one window should be exclusively for regular users of the OFFICIAL club travel 3) priority window two is for known and trusted acquaintances of regulars of the official travel club 4) final window any other fans can apply to be vetted by the FAB for their suitability to represent the club at Away games, attendance subject to signing a bingo bus behaviour code. 5) strictly no alcohol to be consumed on Away days Keep up the good work 👏

Good to see the latest FAB meeting tackled important issues. Up the Bingo Bus. If I had my way away ticket priority would go to official travel club users only. Potential free coach travel for final day at Preston away The club said they are exploring the idea of free coach travel to Preston for the last game of the season, and would like to discuss this with fans. They added that they are looking to target and reward those fans who frequently travel to away games on the official club transport

Fulham make a few changes for their Premier league game with the Hammers tonight. Obviously got one eye on Sunday. Harry Wilson, who I'd say is their best player, out of the squad completely, would be nice if he's not available

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.
