  1. Correct, Carlisle have what 7000 fans? they're not going to suddenly produce 18000 ultra violent uber fans overnight are they;For them this is a wives and kids jolly,so the "trouble" aspect of it is probably entirely negligible.
  2. Maybe, I think there are going to be a few surprises when tickets start hitting doormats and withdrawals start hitting bank accounts.
  3. I speak from experience here, when we got to the League Cup final I 'd been abroad for a couple of years, working on some project in the ..... desert which shall remain nameless,went to the Hulse Rd Police Club on the Friday before the game, bumped into a bloke at the bar, he offered me a ticket and I went to the game.There were tickets available freely just as there were in 76. I don't know if you read Saintslist but the secretary of London Saints has been scratching around for tickets and some of his flock have bought their own, so he might have spares as well but he doesn't know yet.It will go on like that, people have been greedy in a good way but eventually all the spare tickets bought for relatives,mates and kids under 3 will probably resurface.
  4. I would correct your last statement, at home we are in great form, away from SMS we are often very average. It's about too many matches in a short space of time, when we had our week off before the Norwich game we went there and made them look absolutely average.Go to Wycombe a couple of days afterwards on a heavy pitch and we're all at sea. Then a 4 day gap, brilliant,3 days,brilliant again, then a complete disaster. Our problem would seem to be that we have absolutely nothing in reserve or if we have AP doesn't fancy them.We have a first XI comprising 11 players after that its a vacuum because Seaborne isn't a left back and no-one else is either. I want promotion this season because I think another season in this crap league will do for us on a royal basis.Unfortunately we won't get it and haven't really been in line to for quite a while now, other teams keep on offering us lifelines but we throw them away.I wanted to see us do well in the League and the JPT trophy and for the FA Cup well if we'd have got tonked by Eastleigh or Blythe Spartans in the first round by fielding a side with Molyneux and Pulis that would have been an entirely acceptable result.
  5. Depends if you think a £58 ticket is worth £125 really. Don't understand the sudden upswell in ticket sales myself,20000 regular home gate=44000+ Wembley ticket take up, the town will soon be swamped with "extra tickets" so it might be worth waiting on a day of two.I mean there was that poster that said he'd bought 20 for some foreign student culture group, perhaps he'd be prepared to sell you one .
  6. Anyway an open top bus celebration at the end of March might not be such a great idea anyway, especially as it would be on a Monday or Tuesday
  7. what is the exact point of the bold bit? that we're 10 points better than Walsall and 3 points better than Bristol Rovers? is that it? Just asking
  8. Well I wouldn't think the Football League wants too many empty seats as they get a pretty big rake off on the event (you'll have to read their article 68 to see why). We get just our share of the pool plus half of half of the proceeds after all expenses are paid so as far as the FL are concerned the more the merrier.We must be a godsend to them with our 44000 ticket take up(and to all the clubs who get a share in the "pool fund") Bet the FL hope were still in the JPT next season. because last year's final only attracted 55000 spectators at Wembley and we get nearly that all by ourselves.
  9. Pretty safe bet, if Carlisle can sell 25000 or so from a 7000 home crowd base then we should have got 55000 for our 20000 home crowd. Still expect there will be a few floating about(on the black market and otherwise) for those who didn't get sorted out the first time round.
  10. someone said yesterday that you can just buy them, but I suppose some will be distributed by ticket agencies and what have you at exhorbitant prices.
  11. what would happen to us if Southend get wound up in 35 days time? We'd lose at least the 3 points that we got by winning at Roots Hall I suppose,that won't help our play off bid then.
  12. Alan Ball's opinion on white boots;) http://www.footy-boots.com/alan-balls-white-boots/
  13. It's part of the required job skills.The more you waste better you are perceived because you are a progressive thinker. Don't forget Zone 51 (what??) was built with money shaved off of other ridiculous projects.
  14. can probably be arranged...they're not choosy, or so I'm told, if you look the part you're in, getting out well not so much..I think it was in East Germany (after reunification) that you could spend a week-end in one of their "labour camps"(for quite a lot of money) .Wouldn't be sure that they got too many repeat clients though.
  15. ah but perhaps he can't resist, sort of Year of the Cat, just looks in to see what's waiting inside.Also like Dan Brown and Tom Clancy novels, you know it's shîte but if you find it on a train seat you'll probably read it anyway.Now if you remember the old newspaper strikes you'll remember that to prevent boredom on the 7.10 to Waterloo bank executives and Civil Servants fought over the last copy of the Topper at the Central Station Newstand.
  16. did we lose 21 points in those months? Now as I see if we take off say 6 for the two games more that they've played we are still 15 points gained behind without counting -10 of course. So we got 9 points from our first 10 games, so if what you say is right we needed to get 24 from those 10, ie win 8/10, but wait up Norwich got tonked on opening day so that can't be right either. Your "it's all about August and September" doesn't really stand up, it's about sawtooth results all season long, like losing at home to Brighton, going to Leeds and then Colchester and getting 0 points from that and above all not beating any one of Exeter,Brentford,Millwall,Orient,Wycombe or Tranmere away.
  17. he has free time the same as anyone else, he's at liberty to use as he wishes I guess. Being a football manager doesn't make you a slave.
  18. still if we were to operate a sensible pricing system like Wigan most people who go now would be able to carry on going I suppose. Don't forget you save on 5 homes league games,2 rounds of the FA Cup and the JPT.All in all I would think that at 30/27/22 £ according to the category of match (as used by Wigan) over 19 home matches the cost would be about the same as 25/26 home matches that we play at this level. Forking out for Old Trafford and the Emirates is something else.
  19. Still was bit of a strange OP, perhaps he's inhaled too much of his own pesticides eh.
  20. don't seatwave do that sort of thing as well, mind you SFC isn't probably in their league
  21. what? we're talking about a small percentage of the population not the size of the people themselves.
  22. as to that I couldn't say; Following his gaze on the video he seems to be looking at the incident, whether he can see it or not is something else.If Seabourne had kept that bloody arm down I don't think he would have given it, perhaps the arm is all he sees.
  23. although it would explain their easy acceptance of the sawtooth results . Nobody wanted to go down but as were here we might as well stay here because we win a few games...would seem to be the attitude.
  24. I would have thought that you could buy Zimbabwe for £300 :confused: Anyway apparently we've had to give the South Africans a million £ to boost their condom supplies so their WC is going to cost the taxpayer as well.
  25. nowhere near as small as you'd like to think. http://www.healthexpress.co.uk/news/obesity_pandemic.html
