General Sale
 



Anyone think we sell all our tickets before general sale?

I will be in Yorkshire that weekend and plan to make the journey. After Oldham I am slightly concerned we might fill it and there be no tickets available. I am a member, but want to get tickets for my dad and I (we do not have enough points and also he is over 60 and hence gets cheap ticket - if season ticket holder/other member bought we'd pay double).
 
any ideas how tickets are going so far for this? Am relying on a pal from back home sorting tickets out and hes dragging his feet a bit causing concern over here in Holland!
 
I bought mine today and only 400 had been sold so there should be most of the allocation going on general sale

Hope you are right. I am travelling over for the game and have flights and accommodation sorted. The big worry is that tickets dont go on general sale until Tues 16th. It will be a nightmare if there are none left by Tues and I have to buy a ticket in the home end!!

It will, don't put your wallet in your back pocket...
 
Getting mine tomorrow, rather concerned - I know us football fans are treated like cattle but Tranmere are putting us in the " Cowshed" stand !
 
Memories from Tranmere;

1) a late Tony Kenworthy penalty in front of the Blades fans to make it 2-2 in our 4th Division promotion season. I seem to recall there was plenty of pressure as he'd missed one the game before in midweek.

2) January '96, the first time I'd seen us under Kendall and couldn't believe the difference. Don Hutchison's debut I think, possibly Dane Whitehouse scored, late leveller for them, 1-1.

Dear oh dear....:-)

(1) Kenworthy did indeed score a late pen to equalise at 2-2, but had scored one earlier in the game to put us 1-0 up, so he wasn't coming off a missed pen. The pen he missed was at Mansfied on 8/3/82 and the Tranmere game was on 27/3/82 - 4 games later. Tranmere got a pen in injury time which Keith Waugh saved and the taker took out his frustration by sticking his boot into Waugh and getting sent off!

(2). It was indeed Hutchison's debut, but Hodges got our goal. Whitehouse got the equaliser in a 1-1 draw at Tranmere the following season.

OK, so there could have been pressure on his 1st pen ;) could have sworn he missed earlier in the week though.

Right scorer, wrong year for the 2nd one, not too bad :)

The previous game was on the Tuesday 23rd March - the top of the table clash v Wigan when we won 1-0 with a last minute Edwards goal. No pen in sight in that game and, in fact, the one at Mansfield was the only one he missed all season.

He scored 10 in all competitions that season, which astonishly is not a United record for 1 season. Morris got 12 in all competitions the following season (and the only one he missed he followed up to score) and Kenworthy got another one that season as well. In 1983-84 Morris scored 10, missing a further 3, but in one of them following up to score ((and Edwards got a pen as well) We used to get loads of pens in those days - 39 in three seasons and only failing to get a goal out of three of them!

My better half has fond memories of the "CowShed" as a season ticket holder growing up in Birkenhead. Think it might have been the home end at one time. Is that likely?

---------- Post added at 02:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:10 PM ----------

Bring back the cowsheds?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just found the answer on a Rovers website:

"As the club have announced that they are going to poll fans next season to see if they want to return the home end to the Cowsheds, just thought that since we've been polling a lot recently and there's an election coming up, lets do a poll and see what you think.

The question is would you be in favour to move the 'home end' to the Cowsheds?"
 



In other news, Tranmere had two players sent off last night (David Raven and David Buchanan) and from the BBC team list they both look like defenders. Could work in our favour?
 
Has anyone got any idea on how the sales are going for this? I am still wanting to get a couple. Im guessing we havent sold out as there isnt a mention on the O/S.

Hopefully it does work in our faour. They are Tranmere's two main full backs so I think we should be looking at exploiting that at the weekend personally.

Still plenty left as far as I know. I'd expect us to take around 1,500.
 
Ticket update: http://www.sufc.co.uk/page/AwayMatches/0,,10418~1658275,00.html

We've sold 1400 which isn't bad. Maybe another 100-200 as they go on general sale and we get some people chaning their mind late? I'd like us to be taking closer to the maximum allocation (i.e. around 2k) with the momentum from 3 wins and it not being that far.

Where are people going for a drink? We'll be driving, so guess we'll park and find the nearest boozer. Read that there was one on the corner of the ground .... just hope it serves real ale!? :)
 
just run those ideas past a mate who's a season ticket holder at Tranmere:

Prenton Park was a great boozer in it's time as it had bulmers on draft and TRFC carpet. Manager changed, took the carpet out and replaced the cider..... I think it's normally a home fans only pub. The clipper is normally a good bog standard away fans pub. If I was an away fan I would drink in Liverpool then get the train to Hamilton Sq and a taxi to the ground.

hope that's of some help to you travelling chaps.

utb
 
Another three points hopefully from Wilson and the boys :D

Vaguely remember the last trip I went to to PP. 3-2 victory when we were 2-0 down with Dellas scoring 2 think Morris might have got the other. Sure someone can correct me if I am wrong. Sounds like Tuesdays game, TRFC have started well and it should be a good game, lets hope we can kick on from the last 30 minutes on Tuesday and bring back another 3 points over the pennines.
 
Team tomorrow

I think DW will play Doyle and Williamson, with maybe Cresswell up front on his own.

Simonsen

Lowton Collins Maguire Jean-Francois

Montgomery Doyle

Williamson McDonald Quinn

Cresswell

It looks much better as 4-2-3-1. Here, if not on the pitch.
 
Maybe he'll just swap McDonald and Mendez-Laing for Doyle & Williamson.
 
Big test tomorrow - away from home to a team that can get goals.
Could be under the cosh for a while so need to be tighter in defence and also trust that Simmo has wiped the butter from his gloves from Tuesday night.

Tranny have two suspended but it's going to be a tough one I think.
Porter may be fit but McDonald looks unlikely to start. Guess Willo will come in based on his performance Tuesday night.

Will need Nathanial (Tweeting thumbs) Mendez-Laing to turn some counter attacks into chances.
If we nick one early I think we can go on to win by a couple - if not, will be tight to the end.
 
A couple of neutrals I work with (one's an Oldham fan, amusingly enough) reckons Tranmere are dreadful this season and we'll trash them... Also, my mate the TRFC fan isn't confident about them taking any points from tomorrow.

Fingers crossed :D
