Arrived at the ticket office 5 minutes after the tickets went on sale.
What area would you like to sit in Sir?
I'll sit in my normal seat please, its already been sold Sir. Walked out, SKY+ it is then.
I'm getting very temperamental in my impending dotage 😎
so what are we thinking - assuming Ng and Robertson aren't back yet, something like
Turner
Kpakio fish Daland Mafico
king Turnbull
nyakuhwa Colwill Davies
Robinson
what exactly upset you? that they didn't keep it for you in case you decided to go? :hehe:Quote:

They used to, in the days when we were managed by football people, hold everyones seat for 24/48 hours before releasing them for general sale.
Five minutes? their avin a larf, but not my money!
How do I get my season ticket seat when they haven’t even opened the stand where I sit? It’s first come first serve and it’s been this way for this cup competition for years.Quote:

It'll be a fun night, seeing Swindon beat us.
Looking 4ward to Rotherham already.
Why would that be fun?
We’re a football club. We play football. Just get the game won and show some pride in what they are supposed to be engaged in.Quote:

We haven't lost to Swinedon for over a million years.
Because hardly anyone is going so they only open a bit of the stadium...or maybe every where else is sold out, it's going to be a huge crowd and that is all that's left.Quote:

Except the seats that are available will be in the shade...they should have opened the NinianQuote:

I'm surprised with how strong a line up that is. Perhaps he feels the players need games together to get up to speed with how he wants them to play
