Shorty

Juat got back. i live in Leicester so it's an easy jaunt from Posh. Very dis-organised first half. No one could get past their lump of a center back Exodus. The goal just before HT though got the players thinking and the first 20 mins of the 2nd half we seemingly wrapped the game up. But it certainly wasn't an easy win and certainly we tried to thow it away. Good job that today WASN'T the performance to seal Premiership football. It was hardly a classic. Shout out for the entire crowd though. Terracing is the way forward!

if anyone has a spare ticket tommorow please do IM me. I live not to far from the ground and I would kill to NOT have to wear blue tomorrow!

pretty much how I see it. I think Forrest will draw and we'll win comfortably. I saw Posh a few weeks ago and it didn't make for pretty watching. Saying that Mark Cooper has since gone and it's a much tighter unit... Still should be no worry though. I'll be waving from the Main stand if no spare ticket becomes available...

Hi Guys, still desperately seeking a ticket for this Saturday. I live 15 mins from Posh anyway so I'll be in the area anyway - would be nice to not have to sit in the home end! Cheers Shortster

That is EXACTLY the thing that I worry about. In this instance I'd rather be a Buzz than an Armstrong. Still we're all gonna go f'ing mental IF/WHEN we win this league. Back to the topic, I thought at Donny we held our nerve well - after the ALMOST bananaskin of Bristol we did well to come back. It's little moments like that, that win a season. West Brom can huff and puff all they like. Reading played well away at Leicester (was there) and I'd fancy them for 3 points.

oi oi folks. Don't suppose there is a spare ticket for Posh going? pref on the terraces. This one snuck up on me and I've neglected to get a ticket when I could. All help appreciated and beer is of course available as additional payment!

As a Leicester resident (not by choice) I feel obliged to let you guys know that goings on around these parts. 1) Leicester is surprisingly full of Forrest fans. Make sure you show the badge and tell them it’s all gonna go tits up for them! 2) If you’re coming from the station PLEASE cover your shirts etc. the Leicester bobbies are notorious for being a little heavy handed and they will frogmarch you to the ground 3 hours early! Incidentally the walk from the station to the ground is about 20 mins, taking you past the Leicester Tigers ground (boo) and my house 3) Do avoid the pub show above. It’s called the counting house and it’s not very good. There is a Morrisons next door though for those who like a swift can on the way to the match 4) Pubs to go to: Barley Mow – great little boozer, tonnes of sports fans in their, 4 Everards ales on usually – 2 mins from the station Time (bar) – not 100% sure if it’s available to away fans but if so there’s 3 pool tables, well priced beer and it’s HUGE so plenty of places to spread out – next door to the station The Last Plantagenet – It’s a Weatherspoons. But it does the job – 5 mins from station The Orange Tree – Well kept ales, quaint bar, FULL OF STUDENTS! So it’s cheap and there’s plenty of talent to look at – right in the city center next to the Highcross Shopping Center Ale Wagon – 5 ales on rotation, off the beaten track somewhat so away fans won’t be hassled, but still in the center of the city Walkabout – nothing you haven’t seen before but it’s handy to get to and more than welcomes away fans. 5 mins from station The Globe – it’s the furthest away from the ground – a good 30 min walk but it’s worth it their top ale selection and their famous sausage sarnies! The Drydock – It’s a boat on pillars basically. Near a student area so make of that what you will. It’s the closest of the pubs mentioned to the ground. Apart from the obvious feature… nothing to report! There’s no pubs within 10 minutes of the ground apart from the Counting House (avoid) and the Halftime orange which is home fans only. So do your drinking

oi oi... anyone getting tickets for leicester away, could they get a spare (under 22) one for us? I live in Leicester and I'd be MIGHTY annoyed if I can't get to the game 500 yards frmo my house! They don't go on general sale and with all these matches postponed I reckon quite a few more people will come down here to the Midlands than was first thought. If you could help us out I would be ever so greatful. Ta Shorts

I take it that there are NO, repeat NO spare tickets for Sheff Wed then? Look like the home end for me then!

I adore the FA Cup and I would be seriously naffed off if we didn't give it a go. Cardiff and Milwall in recent times have shown that Championship teams can make it to the final and I'd like to think that we could do the same. I'd be extra naffed off if we lost to a Championship side who will be at the foot of the table come Feb... They've got just got other concerns as well as us (ie staying up) so who's to say they won't put a weak side out.

I was the fanzine editor at Kettering Town during his fateful 39 days at the club. It was SCARY to see the number in the outarage. "Advisors", "friends", "colleuges"! Where are they now! The guy needs to be locked up until it's 100% out of his system. And if that means he'll remain confined forever apart from the odd outing at big events and to switch the odd set of christmas lights on, then so be it. Before he does any further harm to himself OR the public.

Aye, get booked up now. I remember a couple of seasons back this fixture being ruined because GNER up'ed tickets to around £100.00 and onwards. Also try splitting the journey in two / Newcastle to Peterborough - Peterborough to Kings Cross. That usually works out cheaper...

It's a medium F you. I think Gary Jules with Mad World getting to number 1 was a pretty dire thing to happen. Other awful number 1 that spring to mind are: Bob the Builder - 2000 Mr Blobby - 1993 and Mull of fecking Kintyre - 1977 Lord knows what you were all thinking!

Living in Leicester, the town's folk aren't exactly chuffed that only one of the 3 major teams in the area where chosen - MK has had a huge bearing on that because they've never been in a previous bid. The plans for a new Ashton gate look like St Mary's / Walkers / Pride Park etc anyway. Talk about lack of character in the grounds chosen. St James win's hands down and that's setting aside my bias.

I spent the same amount of time on Vieira! What a weird spelling! Quite a few defenders amongst that lot too - more than I thought there would be...

Wholey agree with the Championship being poor. I've attended quite a few Leicester games on the side this season and it's scary to think that they got to third in the league. Thankfully they're imploding now leaving us to carry on marching. You can't win a league by Christmas but you can sure as hell loose it.

I'm gonna have to add my name to this thread. REALLY want to be there for Boxing Day so if anyone has any Sheff Wed ticket going spare (student or full price) let us know. Yes I'm a shandy drinking time wasting lightweight at Leicester Uni! what of it? Drop us a line if you can help us out Shorts

It's only gonna get harder Chris. Does anyone know what happens to the tickets that are reserved by away fans but don't get collected. I can imagine that there'll be 20/30 tickets sat in the Newcastle box office, uncollected, unloved, and could be in the hands of desperate little sods like me!

Dynamite, is that Blyth v Kettering from last year on your sig? I was in the commentary box on the other side that game. Sorry to go off topic...

Aye Tom that was my thinking. I just wanted to see if I could save myself a stressful train journey to the ground wondering whether I'd bump in to anyone with a spare. Also be nice to see who fancies an ale before or after...

And I spose I'll add my name to that said hat! I have the pleasure , I think of living near Brum, so I'll be outside the ground at the very least anyway. But would kill to be in the ground. If for some reason you've got a Villa end ticket, I'll take that off ya hand as well. Been to 9 toon away games this year - would KILL to make it a round 10. Ta in advance (and see you all in brum for a pint or four)
