well im about as positive about blades as turkeys are about Christmas so a scrappy one nil win will do for me
 
Even if we win its delaying the inevitable slide futher into obscurity
 
I also live in Shrewsbury,and feel the same as Shropshire Blade.I am bringing two friends to the match.Please all I ask is that we give 100% and battle for every ball and secure 3 points.
 
Our train doesn't leave until 7 pm after the game, any recommendations for somewhere to eat, preferably Indian near the station. Also it looks like a bus to the ground is the best bet.

Theres a couple of very good indian restaurants within 5-10 minute walk from the station, one is called Cafe Saffron and the other Panachea.
 
I don't live anywhere near Shrewsbury and teach in a school with kids who have never heard of Shrewsbury or Sheffield.. Please don't let us lose tomorrow
 
Thought they looked decent at the lame and am surprised their struggling.

Any parking tips? Not confident of a result but looking forward to the game (my first in a while due to work commitments) and my first ever football match was at Gay Meadow.

Parking not the greatest, theres a pub called the Brooklands which i think do match day parking for £5 which is just down the road from the ground.

Whilst driving along looking for somewhere to park, if there are plenty of other cars parked up, you may need to consider a parallel park. If the road is busy, keep a good check on your rear mirror because when you locate an ideal spot, you will need to signal to the left to let other vehicles know you are slowing down. They may think you are taking a left turn when in fact you will be stopping, so slow down gradually if possible to give the car behind time to react.

Stop alongside the vehicle you wish to park behind. An ideal distance is around 1 meter from door to door. Once stopped, select reverse gear and ensure it is safe and no pedestrians are crossing and the vehicle behind has left enough room for you to reverse.

When safe, begin to reverse until the cars are level at the rear. To establish where this is, if for example your car and the car to your left are a similar size, line the side mirrors up. Another reference point is to get the very rear of the car to your left in about the centre of your rear left window, or the front of the car to your left, depending which way round it is.

These reference points may need to be altered slightly depending on what car you have. Again, have a practice go on a quiet road to establish this. Once you are happy that the cars are around level at the back, it may be an idea to stop.

You will need to now steer one complete turn of the wheel to the left. You can turn full left lock but this may potentially leave the front of your car too close to the rear of the car in front as the turning angle will be harsher. Before you do this however, take a quick look to your right blind spot in case there are any cyclists or pedestrians there. The front of your car will swing out into the road so it is potentially hazardous.

Once you are happy it is safe, are slowly and have turned the wheel one complete turn to the left, you will now need to establish another reference point. There are 2 reference points that can help. When the left front corner of your car lines up with the rear right corner of the car in front you can then steer full lock right. Also by looking in your left mirror, you will notice as you are reversing, a triangle between your car and the curb. This triangle as you reverse gets smaller, when the triangle is completely gone, it is time to steer right full lock. Ensure when steering right you have sufficient clearance from the car in front.

As the car straightens up, steer one turn of the wheel to the left to straightened the wheels up. To establish when the car is straight, you should notice in your left mirror that the curb is running down the road parallel to your car.

Using these reference points should keep you a good parking distance from the curb. If you feel you are still too far in the road, move forward slightly and reverse again steering to the left and right again to straighten up.

Ensure you don't park too close to the car in front. If a vehicle parks very close behind you whilst you are gone, you may have trouble getting out.

If he's American, wouldn't he be using imperial, as in Give Way 75 Feet.

My parking tip is to avoid double yellows and to ask percy Thrower if he'll let you park at his nursery next door (that's a place with plants, not young children)

Except that North Americans think that "Give Way" is the funniest thing they've ever heard of (yes, there's a whole world out there!). "Yield 75 feet" would be the American equivalent.
 

Five points behind auto promotion with a game in hand. Hope springs eternal. Come on Blades!
