you won't be saying that when we get a big one away in the 3rd round ....  at least it's a freebie

In the FA Cup - - seven

Including the League Cup - eleven - a 1 in 2048 chance.

Last home draw was 5th round FA Cup against Palace in 2019.

I don't count JPT/Papa Johns etc since groups mean there are always home fixtures.

Has to go down as a good draw for us even though away from home.
It simply is a game we should win. Scunny are shocking at present, yes i know we are no great shakes but based on what i saw at Harrogate last week if we are focused on the day then we will be in the hat for the 2nd round.

If the match ends in draw when will the replay be played ? It’s usually 10/11 days after original fixture but that will the same week as some clubs have players away with international teams

Tranmere can’t have played any strikers that day to get a NIL.

Oh just realised we haven’t any. Maybe we won’t give them a good hiding. Yes we do not do easy in cup ties do we.
Chorley away as a recent example. Although we did get 5 at FC United of Manchester.

I reckon they will make us ko early to avoid the early drinkers being a problem

They like to bus people from Althorpe Station as well but Sunday's there are no slow trains on that line so I will guess Saturday 12 noon ko

I honestly think either team from last night would give this current Rovers team a good game too, I'm afraid to say.

Google says 6 hours 45 mins for trip by road...... provided there are no hold ups - so to give themselves some slack, they will need to set off at 3am or overnight it.......

Slightly better by train, but again it will probably be a pre 6am start.

Yes has say about 6 hrs by car or bus.
There’s no trains out of Plymouth to Sheffield on Sunday morning until after 9am so that’s no good.
So it looks like the majority of Plymouth supporters will be watching on TV.

my mistake then, but we usually go there in good numbers and with us hopefully going there on the back of a good run of form and it looking very likely that it could be the last time we play them in a good few year (barring the PJT game) I would be surprised if we didn’t take 1500+.

Some idiot has decided it is a good idea to trial drinking beer in seats at Leyton Orient and other NL and L2 clubs.

Can you imagine Scunny and Donny fans being allowed to drink beer in their seats for this match for example?

Carnage.

Just another way in which brain dead cretins can ruin the game for other fans IMO.

These fans who constantly swear, abuse, thrown things and generally behave like they have no parents don't realize that other fans have paid their money too to enjoy the game in a different way and do not want to be subjected to this type of behaviour.

Clubs should start getting fines IMO for not dealing with d**kheads ruining it for others.

Personally I think beer drinking should be allowed back in seats. My rationale behind that is those who want to have a drink at the game don’t need to power drink pre match and at half time , thereby consuming booze in a concentrated period of time.
Those with a pint at kick off are unlikely to want to go back to the concourse mid game. So it’s spreads out drinking time . Much more responsible imho. Lots of other sports allow this. I actually think banning drink from seats compound the issue. Obv it should be all plastic.
The only concern I would have is when teams score there would be the “what seems fashionble” display of beer wasting/ throwing such as when England score in televised games . Which should be a crime imho.

Not ordinarily, no. You seem to be missing the point which is that these types of people deserve to be abused and sworn at, in private of course, so that nobody else is subjected to the tirade.

Carnage.

Just another way in which brain dead cretins can ruin the game for other fans IMO.

These fans who constantly swear, abuse, thrown things and generally behave like they have no parents don't realize that other fans have paid their money too to enjoy the game in a different way and do not want to be subjected to this type of behaviour.

Clubs should start getting fines IMO for not dealing with d**kheads ruining it for others.

Although swearing and abusing other fans from behind a computer screen, is of course fine.

Not ordinarily, no. You seem to be missing the point which is that these types of people deserve to be abused and sworn at, in private of course, so that nobody else is subjected to the tirade.

So you're swearing and abusing people in protest about people being abusive and swearing.

Sounds legit.

Indeed, but both in different contexts.

Just got mine, selling centre block behind the goal at the moment





We have got ours too for the same area.
I hope people are able to sit where they like.

Afterthought edit:
That’s not so I don’t have to sit near Filo, but so I don’t have to be in the middle of the singing/standing section.

Last time it was probably the middle 3 blocks that were used as that last time.

Thought there were time limits on those





You may be right but we have always done that when we play at Scunny.
Even if it is four hours limit that is bags of time.
The only time we didn’t do it was for a midweek game and we were stuck in their bloody car park for over an hour after the game.

Keep going past the ground and there's some street parking on a housing estate on the left hand side of the main road.

Comforting I’ve booked a parking spot just in case but being stuck in Scunny for an extra hour is disconcerting

No - there are a couple of lay bys with signs allowing Parking for 1 hour I think it is - and there were several signs prohibiting Parking on the verges - but these may be 200 yards apart

Some games I pass there may 4 or 5 cars [max] on the verges but when we come to town " yahoo" its time to get down there and print some money

PMd you

The top end of the M181 is now 50mph and there is a camera that works. It's probably one of the few things in Scunthorpe that does.

Scunny lost yet again on Saturday. They are truly and incontestably the very worst of the worst. If we lose to them then we’ve pretty much given up the right to be taken seriously.

I very much doubt they will have considered it but isn't now the time for the board to be doing their homework and have a manager to slot in if when Wellens goes?

11 v 11 where each 11 is woeful and have only 11 points apiece

We are dreadful away - so anything is possible

Expecting a huge score so usually ends 0-0 but can anyone see that either

Scunny game will show us exactly where we are, we failed to score against mid table Walsall early in the season and went through on penalty’s. Lose to Crewe and Scunny and Wellens should be on his bike

And when it comes to getting a new manager lets not get all sentimental and recruit a former player, it doesn’t work as proved by the last two appointments

I am actually seriously concerned now about getting knocked out at Scunny.

If we draw or lose at Crewe and then struggle at Scunny, the atmosphere will be toxic.

I can't now say with any confidence that we will beat Scunny.

How are ticket sales going anyone know

Looking at the online sales page there are 5 blocks of seats locked from booking so presumably these have been booked out. Leaving 2 blocks left. I don't know the exact numbers but reckon some more will turn up if we beat Crewe.

Shame that there aren't designated areas at away ends for supporters who want to avoid being near numbskulls. Especially at games like this where there is likely to be no space anymore to relocate to if you get near some idiots. Of which i'm sure there will be plenty of on Saturday.

Be plenty of room away crowds as poor as home crowds. In fact I was shocked 600 turned up yesterday. However probably more the London day trips for many.
