I think we need daily updates for all 3 games 

I can probably manage that between taxi trips for grandkids, my main job nowadays 😂

Only 1,662 tickets left for Carlisle, around 500 sold today.

I’ve never understood this “deserve to win” phrase that keeps cropping up. The only team that deserves to win is the one which scores the most goals. Simple as that

Unless it’s florist obviously or Dirty Leeds .. oh and Middlesbrough, Birmingham, Wycombe and some others 😂

Tickets on sale at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning for all members.

Wycombe currently have 250 tickets left with one block still to open.

Portsmouth are currently showing as sold out but there are still Three blocks not opened up, presumably this will done in the morning  when the button presser starts work.

Fairly sure there is still around 600 tickets left.

So much easier when they just open all the blocks together.

And well behaved neutrals. 😊

Stood on there a few seasons ago for Exeter v Swindon - great experience and it didn't feel too crowded.

I presume there are stricter number limits on those terraces that remain than there used to be. No paying on the gate until you can't get any more in!

Even when you couldn’t get any more in you could still pay on the gate 😉

The old Popside was tame compared with the old Holt End at Villa, I used go with my Villa mates quite a lot in the 70s and was forever piling down the biggest terrace (17,000 capacity) in England.

Out of interest, there are many teams in league 1 with terraces for the away fans, which have been at capacity with likes of Derby, Sunderland, Ipswich, etc. Have there been any reports of safety issues at any of these grounds, especially as they're at grounds with less money to spend on safety?

There aren’t many league one teams with terraces for away fans and the ones that do have them tend to be the smaller grounds so only a few rows deep. The biggest terrace anywhere in the football league is the big bank at Exeter City which holds 3,900, but that’s only for home fans.

Now showing Portsmouth as sold out 🤷🏻‍♂️

Harsh but true 😂

The question before us is, with Gayle presumably out, do we recall Dajaune from Gateshead for the Northampton game?

Or do we rely on Waghorn, or NML, or try to play without a recognized striker?

 

Called up to Jamaica under 23s, so no.

Probably, just hasn’t come out yet 😉

You are underestimating the impact of luck and how slowly it evens out. Remember these events are independent, once one gets lucky they are not more likely to get unlucky in the future (gambler's fallacy). Last year we were hard done by in the region of 17 points, should have been third or fourth and didn't even make the playoffs.

 

All I see is Wildsmith's hand 30cm to half a metre away from the bar with the ball virtually on the by-line, so unless his reflexes are something approaching the speed of light he ain't getting there.

 

Have I read this right, the guy with the perfect view of Waghorn's lee arm was the one whose angle was blocked by not just every player in between but...Waghorn himself?

Back on topic, how did we rate his hat?

I think it went well with a jovial, goalie hugging, joies de vive style, but, i do worry that the onset of spring might spur a dangerous development and tempt Warne into going hatless which would be a disaster in my view.

It's clear that impermiating the hat with CBD oil and lining it with tinfoil to mitigate some of PW's more interesting ideas has been a winning solution, but removing the hat could lead to him rediscovering some of his less effective ideas.

Perhaps a summer hat? some kind of bobble-trucker cap?

Sombrero, oops let’s not go there😂

Following on from the Bolton sellout thread, are we likely to sellout the home areas for the last 3 home games.

 Think it’s unlikely any of the away teams will bring the 3,000+ away allocation but I think it’s possible we could sell all our tickets .

This is what we currently have left, but as we have seen you can probably add another 1,000 or so onto that figure if they open up the East stand blocks.

Blackpool 2,810.

Leyton Orient  4,308.

Carlisle 1,919.

If we maintain or improve our league position I think the Carlisle game is a certainty to sell out.

Safe standing is basically people standing in an allocated seat, in my opinion it doesn’t address the issue. Terracing is not unsafe , done properly. 

It will be interesting to see how safe standing at Portsmouth plays out.

Supporters are supposed to stand in their allocated position, the problem is fans, and their mates can’t always buy tickets in the same area if they are different category away members which usually means they just congregate on the stairs or cram into seating areas.

Portsmouth have said they will be monitoring it, we shall see.

Net chances per game against the league's average opponent on neutral ground. By xG, demonstrably the best metric to evaluate past performance in the public domain once you haven't followed a team's games.

 

Ignore the result mate, Wilson heading it in is just one moment of the performance, it doesn't "cancel" the remaining 95'.

 

This is simply not true, he was nowhere near it.

You are Mark Clattenburg and I claim my £5.

Wasn't noticed elsewhere. Where do you sit? 

South end of the East stand next to the away fans, arguing with someone and then took a swing at them. 
I was looking round at the commotion and then realised we were 20 seconds into the tribute.

Someone needs to be pressing a button somewhere.

Portsmouth showing 14 tickets left.

There should be 3 more blocks to open up with around 600 tickets.

My sincere apologies for not being precise enough, it registers it as a 0.0something.

 

It should count as good as a goal for analysis purposes, it was a matter of inches and the kepper was beat.

 

No unbalanced inaccurate assessments especially after unjust results.
