Love this. I’ve been through thick & thin with this club for the last 42 years and was gutted at the final whistle yesterday. Then 5 minutes later me and my mate were discussing our away trip schedule for next season! COYR.

I know what you mean, looking forward to going to Orient next season and getting to those grounds I missed out on this season, Exeter and Bristol Rovers.

IF we get to the playoffs and play Sheffield Wednesday, the second leg prices are £20 adults, £15 seniors and under 21s, £10 under 17s and £5 under 11s. 
wonder if this will be reciprocal.

I wonder if this is to appease the Wednesday fans after the large hike in season ticket prices recently announced - cheapest adult tickets £510 on the Kop, up to over £700 in the West Stand and they could still be watching League 1 football.

They are not better than us, they just beat us because we were absolutely terrible on the day, not the same as coming away thinking they are a better team than us. . 

Take your point, thought you were talking about teams being better on the day, rather than over a season.

The seat next to me was taken for the first time on Saturday, though the chap left 10 mins before halftime and on 80 minutes.  I think I prefer it empty.

At home, the only teams who have been better than Derby at PPS have been Ipswich and Plymouth.

and Fleetwood

Still waiting for the seat next to mine that has been empty all season to come up. I wonder why these seats are not normally on sale?

As bad as that performance was, we're now 1 point closer to top 6 and 1 point further away from 8th than we were at the start of the day.

 

That is how I am trying to look at it and hoping we can put together a better performance at Exeter.  

Could be worse, we might be getting tonked 3.1 at Burton

Burton 1 Wednesday 0 - J Brayford,  automatics back on!

Rovers 2 Rams 3 FRGS Collins

Our average is 26,955, I think it will be close to that.

Hope so, but I think it will be less, hard to believe it will only be 2700 less than v Ipswich, particularly as MK will probably only bring 1k.

2,600 tickets left in the home end, MK Dons have been given 1,500, no idea how many they have sold, should be a decent holiday crowd.

about 2400 left now so maybe 25-26k.

I'll be at FGR Saturday ....

 

Thank god!

Don't worry, the good lady is joining me for this game.  Her record this season;

Shrewsbury 0.0

Portsmouth 0.0

Ipswich 0.1

Barnsley 1.4

Surely she is due a win.

There was a lot of stroppy people leaving on 75 mins in the SW Upper today, including one stone island clad individual letting everyone know what an embarrassment our club is, losing to Fleetwood (had he been locked in the ground for two weeks?).

They were empty.

So was the seat next to me again

I have been to every home this season and the seat next to me is always vacant except for the first game v Oxford, yet it rarely seems to be available to buy - a bit annoying when asking a friend to come along. I keep wondering whether it was bought as a season ticket by someone unable to attend.

Just had a quick count up of how many tickets are left, to save anyone else doing it. I make it about 1,100. I think, for some reason probably related to Birmingham City, our capacity is well done from what it used to be under police advice. With a full away end it should be easier to work out. 🐏

Also depends on how many season ticket holders don't show up.  Being a big game, I would expect there to be less 'no shows' for this one, so hopefully we will hit 30k.  Looking forward to it albeit with low expectations, but you never know.

What a breath of fresh air this is.  Played more football through midfield than the last three away games combined. Great to have Bird back.  Hoping we can maintain the standard second half and pick the right final ball.

Posh away gives me memories of my gripe with Nigel Clough always going negative in the final 10 minutes of the game.

@sage

Last year's game was hard to take, throwing away a win and all the points in injury time. I think only about 1400 of us made the trip for the first post COVID away game and it was an awful drive cross country there and back. The only highlight was Jack Stretton's goal - what ever happened to him? Surely got to be a better day tomorrow!

Dragged myself here today, feeling quite rough but fortunately not covid. Hoping I make the full 90 minutes and don't need pulling off at half time.
