Have we sold out yet? No info either way on the o/s that I can see.

 

[Russ]

What do you think. £25 - ridiculous....

 

[ListerBlade]

£25 is steep, £26 with booking fee. My first trip to Scunny, thought it would have been a cheaper one, Pride Park for an extra £4. Think I only paid a little more to watch Everton v Villa a few seasons back.

 

[Highbury_Blade]

If we don't win this one we're as good as down, so no pressure at all Micky.

2-0 to Scunny, and a shoes off protest on Saturday.

 

[SteelCity Blade]

To echo Highbury's first comment, we are effectively doomed if we dont get 3 points from this and I genuinely believe that. United have showed recently that of the sides above us, there are no winnable games so we would be relying on huge slices of luck to get anything out of the remaining games.

As for a shoes off protest.....I think we're well beyond that dont you?

My team.....for the shit or bust game:-

Simonsen
Nosworthy, Collins, Lowry, Jordan
Riise, Williamson, Doyle, Yeates
Evans, Bent

Long, Lowton, Parrino, Ertl, Quinn, Vokes, Bogdanovic​

Prediction:- It's got 'draw' written all over it!

Sold the initial 1,600 and getting an additional 300 this morning according to the lads on Mad

Anyone know of somewhere half safe to park near the ground?

There's a big, and cheap, carpark at the ground itself.

 

[ListerBlade]

Nice one, I'll hedge my bets and try and get a space there.

I think this game has draw written all over it. I really can't see where a win is going to come from.

 

[alcoblade]

I bought 4 of those 300 this morning. There was a steady stream of custom so I'd suspect they'll go. The fact that they haven't already speaks volumes about the general apathy around at the minute. It's really sad.

UTB

 

[SteelCity Blade]

FFS.....I've actually been talked into going. The only saving grace is that I'm not paying for my ticket on this occasion so the torture wont hit my pocket.

Just when you think wild horses couldn't drag you to a game.....wtf am I doing?!

There's worse things you could be doing on a Tuesday night free of charge

I wish I had a double decker bus. I could go and park up next to Glanford Park and watch the game for free.

Sold the initial 1,600 and getting an additional 300 this morning according to the lads on Mad

Only the odd single seats left plus restricted views (???) when I called in.

 

[Ollessendro]

I'm surprised that we have sold our allocation tbh. I can only think that the 1600 who bought tickets did not go to the last 2 away games. I suppose it is the biggest game of the season so far, but then so was Saturday. Credit to the 1600 who are making the short trip. I hope they can get behind the team and we get a bit of luck and give the fans something to sing about.

My team would be:

-----------SS

Nos Collins Lowry Lowton

Yeates Riise Williamson Quinn

------ Ched Boggy

I'd stick with the same back 4, as they did ok on Sat. I'd drop the hopeless Doyle and play Riise inside, as he looked good there.

I doubt there will be many goals in this and could see it ending 0-0 or 1 a piece. Still my gut is telling me more misery for United and Scunthorpe to exted their recent good record against us. 1-0 home win. God help me that I am wrong.

 

[cooperblade]

Another 200 tickets available from 9am this morning.

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

Even tho' it's on the doorstep it will be my first visit there tonight. Think we'll nick it 1-0 and be hanging on for the last 85mins.

 

[TopBoy]

I appreciate this is a very long shot (remember them?!), but I have two tickets for tonights game due to the fact I've had sickness and shitz constantly since 11pm last night. Whoever wants the tickets can have them, the only problem being I'm based in-between Peterborough and Stamford, which is where the tickets are.
Rather oddly I was really looking toward to the game.

 

[Micalijo]

Confident of a win tonight.

Micky Mouse and his players should feel very much at home in a 4th division stadium.

 

[sheffielder]

Have to go out for the win tonight. Let them have it and if we come up short we will try again on Saturday. Can't play to scrape a win anymore

 

[Elsecar_Blade]

Call me mad but I'm looking forward to tonight and fancy we'll get something.

The 1700 going need to make as much din as possible. Many have lost faith but we have to back them and demand that they try to get us out of this mess.

 

[Selly]

Things I'd like to see tonight (in no particular order):

A win
Scoring a goal other than a pen
Scoring more than one goal
A win by more than one goal
A clean sheet

I'm not getting my hopes up though...

 

[Bladeforlife]

My team for tonight would be:
Simmonson, Nosworthy, Collins, Ertl, Jordan, Risse, Williamson, Doyle, Quinn, Evans, Bogdanovic

 

[Jehovah]

2-0 Scunny, as per usual another easy peasy win for scunny.

 

[Pedders]

0-0 draw but i have high hopes that we can nick a goal at the end.

 

[JohnDenver]

Kudos to the 1700. I think the time is coming where they'll enjoy themselves regardless of what goes on on the pitch.

It's getting colder too Was hoping the fog would get thicker so we couldnt see the pitch

 

[Bergen Blade]

Team

Not what I'd hoped for:

Simonsen
Nosworthy Collins Lowry Lowton
Riise Ertl Doyle Quinn
Evans Cresswell​

Subs: Long, Kozluk, Parrino, Williamson, Yeates, Bogdanovic, Bent

 

[Highbury_Blade]

Micky hasn't got a clue really has he? Anything less than a win tonight and we're pretty much stuffed, and he sticks out a side with 7 predominantly defensive players, and a carthors up front like Cresswell. AGAIN????

OI! MICKY:thumbdown:

Give me strength.
