Michael Howard a visiting Reading Supporter informs me; 'The Cherry Tree pub on Oundle Rd is quite popular with away fans. Although small it is a friendly pub. It costs £2 to park in their car park but you get £2 off a beer if you present the parking ticket at the bar'. Alun Thomas a visiting Wrexham supporter adds; 'We found a better bet than the Cherry Tree was the Palmerston Arms. It is away fan friendly and has around 10 real ales on on offer. This pub is situated around 100 yards further along Oundle Road on the opposite side'. Whilst Gordon Pearson recommends the Peacock, which can be found 'as you come over the River Nene, proceed down London Road past the ground on the left and the pub is situated on the right at the traffic lights next to a KFC drive through'. Near to the ground is Charters, which is certainly worth a visit. This former Dutch barge, is moored on the River Nene, just a few minutes walk away from London Road, on the left hand side of the bridge, going towards the town centre. Upstairs is a Chinese restaurant, but downstairs there is a bar, which had on my last visit 12 real ales on tap. It was friendly enough and fans were able to take their drinks out onto the river bank, which makes it quite pleasant, when the weather is good. Alternatively, the ground is in walking distance (10 minutes) of the town centre (which is very pleasant and complete with a cathedral) where there are plenty of good pubs to be found. If you are arriving by train then the Brewery Tap near to the station on Westgate, is worth a visit. The home of Oakham Ales, this spacious bar serves good beer, Thai food and allows you views into the brewery itself.

Never knew this. Haven't appeared to have asked for more terrace tickets so 500 on a terrace will look ****e on TV, and I doubt the atmosphere will be the best if we have so little on the terrace.

Really looking forward to this. Hopefully we can take decent numbers up there and make a lot of noise. I'll guess at about 1,000.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMW1FXuqUHk No idea on the tune, but United fans sung it on Saturday.

The Maxi Rodrigues song that Liverpool sing would fit well with Alex Chamberlain. 'Saints will tear you apart, agaaain' for when we're tearing a team apart/winning. 'I see the Northam End arising, I see there's trouble on the way, Don't go out tonight, Unless you're red and white, I see there's trouble on the way.' Didn't we used to sing that a few years back in one form or another?

This. Will try it at Peterborough.

Appears it was a load of ******** anyway.

I would **** myself into an oblivion all night if that happened. Surely would cost in excess of £2m for the pair though?

I had a couple behind me at the top of block 4 on Saturday telling me to sit down constantly for 90 minutes. Everyone else around was standing. Why choose that area of the ground if you want to sit in silence and watch the game?

What a ****.

Upload it then!

Are there any deals in the pipeline? Has Jordan Sibley said anything on Twitter?

Correct. There are plenty of Premier League teams that make much more noise than most of the League One clubs.

The Itchen North was no where near as good as I expected it to be. It was 10x better against Pompey. I guess it's just down to there being people that weren't regulars.

Doubt we will be signing anyone today.

There was one shot from Nani yesterday that was hit hard and bounced right infront of Bart with two of their strikers a metre or so away ready to tap any spill into the goal. He managed to hold on to it really well.

But very predictable. They will inevitably hear the same stuff week in week out.

United singing it reminded me of us singing it in the past. I see the Northam End arising, I see trouble on the way, So don't go out tonight, Unless you're red and white, I see there's trouble on the way.

The only problem is that the whole support was standing so it would have been difficult to actually get up to the man with the flare.. Imagine it at Peterborough.. Police would just walk up to you and take you off with no opposition from any other Saints fans.

It's not worth getting a three year ban for either.

Why'd you go for the stand over the terrace?

I wished we used flares, they look quality.

I think I saw the man. White Fenchurch t-shirt? He was walking towards the stadium after the game so presumably was just a local nutcase.

Paul Wotton football genius.

Could you PM me your train times please mate.
