If England have any real ambition of getting further than quarter finals in competitions we should be having a winter break. Xmas and new year football should be scrapped

Why are so many people in favour of having even less to do during the dark, shit winter months?

Not saying you're suggesting this Arriba, but people calling for winter breaks or even worse summer football are just basically lining themselves up for weeks or months of boredom. Winter's bad enough with football, without it I'd tear my hair out.

PS I'm not convinced it'd help national team performance anyway.

I thought we tried that many years ago. All that happened was that the top clubs arranged friendlies abroad, which only increases the fixtures pile up.

I was under the impression that this game was all ticket for away fans, but our own ticket office have just confirmed that you can pay cash on the day if you want (although it will cost £2/ticket more).  Did anyone else think it was all ticket as well, or did I just make that bit up in my own head?

Just re-checked.  The website advice is out of date.  Game was originally all ticket for away fans, but this has now been revoked and pay on the day is now possible.

I'm talking to myself here, I know, but feel better anyway.

They did exactly the same at Sheffield last week. Declared it all ticket and then said you could pay on the day at the last minute. Has been done quite a few times down the years by various clubs too. Not really sure why if I'm honest.

Brentford away has always been a game I've taken the train to in the past.  Does anyone who has driven there before have any parking advice?  Parking in the area seems to be very limited according to this.

Difficult. I parked at the wrong end of Orchard Road. It's a 5-10 minute walk from the ground.

[edit] This was the PO evening game. I'm not sure if bank hols are included in residential parking areas

They are, the PO was a bank holiday Monday.  We parked down a residential road less than 5 mins walk from the ground and didn't have to pay.  We went right off the A315 Brentford High St somewhere round by Grosvenor Road?

That's right, it was the league game I went to, not the PO game.
