Yeah tried but nothing.

I guess I'll try again tomorrow morning?
I can currently put 2 in the basket for the side stand. I guess as it's gone midnight you won't see this

Click the total at the top and it will give you the option of the side stand only. It looks like the stand behind the goal is sold out.

Or park in the station car park opposite if getting there early.

The bar at the ground, which was decent, is no longer open to away fans.

Scraping snow off the top of the motor shouldn't be an issue.
Those that were there for that Boxing Day game will remember.
It was open last season to away fans as was the outdoor fanzone.

Makes sense.

In the Garner season the hotel pub was packed with town. Is that no longer an option?

I’m presuming when seats are allocated if you’ve bought 2 they’ll be together

To be fair it's very rare that you have to sit in allocated seats at an away game

I figured it out. I selected one behind the goal, let it go into my basket, then just refreshed, went back and put another one in my basket severalty.

There was a £3 per head admission for away fans last season.

That makes even more sense from a home club point of view.

If only we had plans for a functioning fan zone where all fans were able to mingle before the game.

I'm bored. So it's prediction time for the opening day starting 11.

GK: Ripley - Nothing needs to be said.

RCB: Clarke - Has to play. Club captain and much needed leadership. Don't see much of a future for him here in a midfield 2, so it's going to have to be at centre back.

CB: Wright - Given the license to spray the ball around as the middle centre back.

LCB: Wilson-Brown - Will get the nod over Delaney. Will add much needed recovery pace to this defence.

RWB: Snowdon - This will come too early for McGregor. No other realistic options here.

LWB: Munroe - I am JUST giving him the nod over Kirkman. It's harsh - I'm not fussed either way who he goes with, but I imagine we'll be under pressure from Villa to play this kid.

CM: Kilkenny - Has to play for me. Oldaker will feel hard done by, but he will get plenty of opportunities as the season progresses.

CM: Nichols - Holloway will play him. His work rate, his pressing, his intelligence to take up clever positions. I was particularly impressed with how well these 2 played together away at Grimsby. I think he'll go for tried and tested.

RW: Drinan - No brainer. Is he more talented than Bodin or Glatzel? absolutely not, but we are a better side with him in it. Another who will press all day and bring the best out of others. Can be sacrificed in the second half for more flair.

ST: Smith - Obviously.

LW: Ameen - This kids time to shine. He will almost certainly start.

Bench: Ward, Kirkman, Ball, Oldaker, Glatzel, Tabor, Bodin

Left out of squad: Minturn, Delaney, McGregor (fitness), Mabete, Mitchell, Butterworth.

Moonraker heavily hinted Mabete was seen as first choice LCB, however I can’t see how he starts after Eastleigh. Gave away a penalty and got sent off. From what I saw on Saturday he’s still got some development needed, imagine Wilson-Brown starts at Walsall instead now.

That would be a surprise to me, considering all sources I'm looking at indicate he's right footed. Competent on his left perhaps but still a big ask.
