Lallana's Left Peg

Delighted for the owners, club, players, and supporters. Especially delighted with the response the crowd gave Pardew right in front of Cortese. A great day out and hopefully something that becomes a benchmark for success in the future - winning things.

I'm glad we won. It is winning this sort of game while not playing great that will see us contend for automatic promotion next season (if we don't go up this season). Plenty of teams will come to St Marys without any expectation on them which will allow them to raise their game. Getting used to winning will give us the mentality to win games when not playing well.

Whilst I expect supporters from every end of the spectrum to be present on a forum like this, in my few weeks of being a member here in general I find the response to someone having an opinion different to someone else is met with pathetic responses. Instead of having a reasoned disagreement people just degenerate their response into half-witted sarcastic comments that turn this place into a farce. Has it always been like this?

Leeds were given the option of 3200 tickets but were told they would have to pay for them up front (as they did to us back in December). Ken Bates is a tight man so he said no, so they only got 2000 on sale or return basis.

It depends how many of the +1's season ticket holders are taking who attended the area final. Worst case, 23.5k sold to season ticket holders and all their +1's didn't attend the area final. That leaves around another 20k in people who can buy tickets this week, meaning a very very limited general sale. In reality I imagine general sale will see around 5 - 10k tickets available.
