How many people are planning on going?
I'm probably gona drive to Swindon with a couple of mates as I haven't got anything else to do and I finish work early.  Is it likely that the townend will be closed? If so where is the best place to sit for a decent atmosphere?  I usually sit to the left of centre in the Nationwide but the atmosphere isn't great because only 2 or 3 people sing.
Suggestions appreciated :)

Come and sit up by away fans in the Arkells!

maybe up by the brentford in the ark.

whats the ticket prices n e way?

5 quid for students  :D

£10 non season ticket holders

is the town end open for this game?

supposedly

and season tik holders?

I'll be in the Town End if it's open. Only a fiver!

i rekon i'll go. i get paid on friday so i have no reason not to. especially as im not going to darlo.

Already got tickets for the Town End, so it best be fucking open!

I am sitting in the Arkells for this one.  I want to hold Lady's hand, coz she is going soon  :cry:

I'm not going cos I'm skinto...

Yep, just got 5 tickets in the Town End. C'mon Gus and Dennis, you know it is the ideal time to debut for us....

Don't get your roots done you goon and come to football

im at work :evil:

Need to keep the mullet alive though! ..... :wink:

Yes it has to be intact ready for Chester away!!

I'll be going. I'm going to tell some friends that Wise and Poyet will definitely be playing, in the hope it'll convince them to come along 8) .

ill be in the Townend  :beers:

i'll be there, naturally 8)

you'll be naked?????? 8)

I should be but havent got ticket yet

don't get too excited

Will you be going naked piemonte?  :wink:

8) I'm going with my brentford bitch.

We have two car lots of us going, got to book TE tickets today

I'm not going Tuesday.

only in your dreams, beeeatch :wink:

:nono:

I got a bollocking off my manager after arriving at 10:40pm the night of the Barnet game, cant see me being able to repeat it again.

Joining Dave in the Part timer club eh Spud? :mrgreen:

We will be 3-0 up by half 9 so just leave then instead.

We owe them a beating, shitty mockney london joke club.

We definitely owe them a beating for that goal in the 3-0 drubbing where their guy ran from his own area with the ball.

I reckon Wise should play and break some legs (Brentford legs that is)

Perhaps it is no coincidence that Wise and Poyet have announced squad numbers in the run up to a big cup game

or maybe I am reading too much into it!  :)

I'm going,sitting in my usual place,aren't i ace :beers:

Say's the man who went to at least 2 games last season.  :roll:

just realised im double booked for this game.... :shock:

Does it clash with your Sermon on the Mount-or are there a few miracles you have to perform?

my sunday team has a friendly game...no miracles

Will, Will, Will you do make me laugh.  Whilst the rest of us wept through the dark days you sat at home attending only couple of games last year.  That will be 1 of the only games I miss this year we shall keep score see who attends the most.  Couldnt believe when you asked me what squad number Fjortoft had this year and asked for directions to the ground I know it had been a while but come on.  Were level for this year anyhow as I attended reserve game the other night now that was a way to spend a Tuesday night  :D.

Anyhow now I have finished acting petty and childish I will be there on Tuesday night I am actually excited about the Johnstones Paint trophy (LDV) what a difference a season makes.

well i got my ticket in the townend in my normal seat and i am quite looking foward to seeing swindon beat the shit out of martin allen less brentford.

sorry to disappoint you but it's the league cup on tuesday...

It is as well I am delirous appreciate the correcting though, I will cowar back into my corner  :oops:

Don't worry, the excitement of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy is getting to us all  :roll:

Just been to get my ticket for Brentford, in the Arkells, and the bloke in the ticket office said that they have cordoned even more of the seats off by the away fans. Something about some trouble in the Barnet game and a steward breaking their arm. He went on to say it is only the back four rows, so just how much of the area is off-limits I have no idea.

Certainly know how to spoil our funs don't they? :x

At the Rochdale game the back section was netted off and steward was looking @ seat numbers on tickets.

Simple solution, put the away fans in the bank FFS.  I like nothing better than watching a load of miserable away fans stood on the bank getting drenched and blown away by the wind and rain.

Havent we all been over this before?  Opening the bank unnecessarilly costs more money on turnstile operators, food outlets and stewards.  Its obvious.  If they don't need to open it, they won't, to spare the club the cash.

that little group in the arkells make me laugh. why dont they just sit in the townend?

Whether we have "been over this before" wasn't actually my point.

Opening the bank would solve the problem of trouble and also we wouldn't require extra stewarding in the arkells surely?

I sit in the Arkells as I get free tickets and the only part of that stand that has a bit of life is the bit next to the away fans.

and even that bit is poor

Pay £15 for the Town End or nothing for Arkells? Hmmm difficult decision.

Yeah, take the freebie, do'nt give your own club any cash.

Does anyone pay to get in?

Maybe this is the reason behind all of our financial problems.  People, the solution is clear.  Turn down the freebies!

Not everyone can afford to go home AND away every week actually.

Being such a northern league its fucking expensive. I get the impression you dont travel away. If you do, you'll understand the costs. Hartlepool and Darlo you're talking £50 each game in expenses.

So what if I dont pay for home games now and again? I pay for cup games, paid for pre-season friendlies, and support the team away as well as home plus buying the merchandise they sell!

Now try and tell me I don't give any cash to the club.....

I used to travel away, but can't afford it, as even a home game costs me thirty quid to get to.  I understand your point though, to be honest I was just being arsey.

u dont give cash too the club :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

not really. i dont care about money, id rather sit in an atmosphere and give my club money

Well lucky you that you have enough money to afford to do that.

Nah I just get Richie Rich to pay for me, he's loaded and he doesn't mind paying for the extra 'atmosphere' in the Town End  :wink:

Doore is right for once. The bank is closed as a cost cutting exercise.

Woo!

because i like it up there, never sat in the town end but i hate watching games from an angle that's low and behind the goal.

plus you don't get the annoying kids from the nationwide up there.

The view for one thing Rich. I can't begin to tell you how great Brownlie's goal looked from there.

But the celebration in the TE was better.  8)

I'm not going now,just heard on Radio Swindon that Didcot are playing Swindon Supermarine,think i'll go to that instead :wink:

Dennis has said they'll be a few changes, what do we reckon then:

Brezovan
Smith Ifil Williams CCP
Holgate Weston Evans Brown
Brownlie Onibuje


don't like to leave Roberts out personally, but think given the fact we've got 5 strikers knocking about he'll give them a chabce.

Want us to really go for a nice cup run here

I reckon he'll rest Williams as he see's him as the lynchpin in defence.

Can see the front 2 being rested or at least one of them.

Monkhouse's injury could cause Wise to change his plans. He can't really rest Vincent now unless he's prepared to put both CCP and Nicho in. Mind you, does Vincent need to rest? He never gets over the half way line! If Vincent stays, Nicho will replace Williams.

Pook will come back in and there should be a start for Lukas.

Nationwide.

ill be going .. Larwood u cant be serious!! - Nationwide for me

Aaron Brown WILL play. SO that ruins your theory I am afraid

I presumed Brown in central midfield already.

But Brown is a winger?

He thinks he's a midfielder.

but he plays in midfield :--

I dont think Lady should EVER pay-she attracts loads of fans with her charm and good looks!

Team for tomorrow?

New goalie
Smith
Ifil
Nicho
Sweet Gene
Evans
Holgate
Brown
Shakes
Brownlie
Ooomigoomi

Who is Sweet Gene?

oh come on Dave - you aren't that young!

How old would i need to be to get this?

Ian Dury - Sweet Gene Vincent

Good Grief :(

if it's any consolation jim, i got it 8)

my prediction for the team...

Smith

Smith
Ifil
Nicholas
Vincent

Shakes
Weston
Brown

Brownlie

Jutkiewicz
Roberts

 About 3 weeks....

I dont know how u knew that Sonic cos i never had a clue about sweet Gene Vincent .. and im 35 on sunday!

I knew it....mainly because we only have two left backs Nicholas and Vincent and Nicholas was already in the team  :oops:

Ian Dury and the Blockheads "New Boots and Panties" released September 1977.  Sonic was still about 100 eggs away from being released.

 I'm a big fan of George Friedrich Handel...

 But I wasn't around in 1733....

C'mon Reg don't lie!  :wink:

Smith

Smith
Williams
Henry
Nicholas


Holgate
Weston
Wise/Poyet  (it's only a cup game after all?)
Brown

Brownlie
Onijube

Mix of youth and experience thrown in

Sitting in the Nationwide for the first time in agggges tomorrow.
Bye arkells  :(

He was fond of castrati too :wink:

 You should  stand in the TE Sadie.....its the only place to be.

I literally JUST told her that same thing on msn

Needs to sort herself out!  :D

Townend is not my style. I prefer totty watch in the arkells.

i'm flattered sade!

   Any man who  rejects Hun citizenship for English is OK by me....

 :wink:  Oh I am glad you noticed.

 A bit of a stint in the TE, especially if there are numbers would give you a better schooling in how to deal with bundles in clubs....maintaining equilibrium , when a goal is scored, when bodies are flying around,  is a useful skill.

right im going and this is my first game of the season (managed to get some time off!) Not sure where i wanna sit though!? :?

on my lap?  :wink:

Be bop a lula would go well with See the conquering hero comes

I started reading the line-up in my head, then re-read it to the rhythm of Pew, Pew, Barney, McGrew...etc :D . Which was fine till I got to Brown :?
