  1. How about those clubs that don't fancy the inconvenience of potential replays being given:

    A/  The opportunity to offer their opponent a bye at any given round, and thus foregoing their own opportunity to progress.

    or

    B/  The opportunity to c*** a snook at the competition as a whole, and not entering (for the upcoming season) in the first place.

     

    Feckham for the cup!  🏆

    Sombreros...I turned up in mine last time to find that only about 6 people in the whole place had also bothered, so stuff that for a game of soldiers.

    Jeez!

    How many times can one man apologise! 🙄

    Like Bob, I moved to the US (for 23 years). Now I am back in the UK, but ill health and distance mean that I have to pick and choose the games I can attend. The last game I saw was vs Port Vale; I have my ticket for the Carlisle game! Btw, the first game I saw was in the old 3rd Division North, at the Baseball Ground, against Grimsby - we lost, 3-1 (they went up as Champions). We won the Division the next season!

    If you're the NER that I think you are, I'm sorry to hear of the ill health buddy.

    Oh... and a great big 🍻 to you!

    I did it in the Osmaston Upper surrounded by West Ham, and C Stand surrounded by Chelsea. 

    I didn't know I was in the away end. And apparently, neither did the stewards or anybody else for that matter.

    To avoid confusion, mine was when the away fans were in the Ossie End.  Can't even remember why I did it now.  I assume there was still a pay on the gate option back then?
    I was in the lower tier of the seats at the back (Can't remember whether the front/open bit was still terrace, or had gone to all seater by then).

    I'm guessing your examples were (lots of) away fans in the home end?

    I know there are some people willing to sit in the home end at away matches.  I do wonder, seeing as a club like Carlisle don't have a massive fan base, whether some people might have considered sitting in the away end at a home game.

    Not suggesting it, of course. 

    I remember doing that years ago, for similar reasons.  Ossie End Lower tier, surrounded by Wolves.
    A truly awful experience.  (Absolutely no idea what the score was, or even the year!)

    When Mrs Wolfie had been living with me for a few months, we decided to have a couple of friends round and I did a big swiss cheese fondue. We had a lot of cheese late into the evening.

    That night, I was woken at about 2am by her fully dressed and in the middle of packing her bags. She was semi-awake and convinced that she had to move out there & then. She couldn't give me any reason, just that she hed to do it. It took me about half an hour to talk her down and convince her to get back into bed.

    That was 13 years ago and it remains the only time anything like this happened - and the only time we've ever had a fondue.

    ...Perhaps the criticism from some quarters has gotten personal which is of course never acceptable...

     

    It just goes to further reinforce my opinion that he’s a bit of a prize weapon...
