Yes we have a good chance and our players are hungry for promotion. The Man City game will test us to the max. We won't win it of course but we will give them a run for their money. Next up is Leeds on Sunday. Wanna beat them and do the double. :)

Two teams in form!
Will be a good old ding dong derby!
 
I've just read the announcement about Sutton tickets! £35 seated and £30 standing. :wideyed: Jeez the rest of our away tickets this season have cost a maximum of £26 (Southampton being £15). :***: Life in the real world sucks. :rolleyes:

It's all those transfer fees from Liverpoo :D :D

Saints are good about cup tie tickets. I remember taking our son to see a game where we beat Spurs 4-0 :cool: It was, admittedly, a few years back, but I think I paid a tenner and my son got in free.

Spurs were managed by Glenn Hoddle, who had abandoned Saints a few months before, to go to Spurs. He got a rather, um, robust reception. Saints went on to meet Man U in the final but, unlike their previous meeting in the FA cup final, we lost. This means, of course, that we ought to do it this time, in the EFL cup. Maybe....... :)

Is that at Sutton?
The prices in the national league were around a tenner for home fans and fifteen (ish) for away!
I think they are cashing in while they can!
Kerrrrching!!!!!

All for watching prima donnas perform on a carpet!!!

Yes it's nice when clubs do that.
lol re Glenn Hoddle :D
Oh please win this time, it would be amazing and I'm sure most people on this thread would agree (except maybe @noblehead ;))

yeh, they are being a bit greedy. They will have TV money too so they will be able to get their new changing rooms that I heard them whinging about the other day. We have to wait and see if we get tickets in the ballot (750 tickets to be divided between 1100 away scheme fans) Fingers crossed - 0, 2 or 3 would be nice. We really don't want just 1, so I guess I know what is going to happen. :rolleyes:

lol yeh, but at least the prima donnas are used to playing on carpet, unlike the muddy pitches elsewhere in the lower leagues.

Yes the changing rooms are really bad even for our level. You can't swing a cat, nor a mouse (sorry, animal lovers!), it is bad! But some are worse!
You would be surprised at some of the pitches!
Not to the premiership standard but better than in L1 or L2!
It is mostly the southern grounds that are the worst in the national league, but a few northern ones could do with some cash to upgrade their grounds! (Not stadiums!)
Eastleigh is by far the worst on both accounts!
Lincoln is the best, mainly because of the chippie and the huge fish served there!

There is a great chippie in Nailsworth too - been there tonight :)

Wow, I've just checked, I've only been to 2 grounds in the National league now. FGR and Dagenham and Redbridge.

Is that the one at the bottom of that hill (mountain) and turn right and right again!
If it is, it's much better than the rubbish on offer at the ground!
Veggie burgers! Yuk, duke yuk!
They look and taste like cow pats! (Disgusting!)

Being in an area where there is a million chippies, you have a great choice by our ground, even Mexican!!!!
 
yeh kind of. Only one 'proper' right though at the roundabout, though it might seem like 2 cos of the winding roads. It's on the left next to a pub called The Village Inn (also good)
 
FA trophy, held at home by a very good defensive wall by Chelmsford city!
Replay Wednesday!
We threw the kitchen sink at them! To no effect!
Fixture pile up dawning!

Well done Carlisle!

Looking forward to hudders v weeds tomorrow!

You did well then. Better than losing and hopefully you will nail it in the replay. :)

Hopefully we will give as good a performance as we did on Thursday night. I don't think Leeds will be as slack as Brighton were. Should be a good game all the same and I bet Leeds will be the same old dirty fouling lot. UTT :D
