They weren't around in the days of Ayrsome Park, Leeds Road and others we went to regularly, it's a shame they didn't embrace the occasion and think how lucky we are to be in the position we are in. If the reality of how football is run at some lower league clubs they might consider staying at home if we have the misfortune to be drawn against such teams. if people are happy to go to grounds 3 miles away from the town centre in a retail park. Sat in a ground exactly the same as 30 others with little or no atmosphere then I guess that's their choice. When our ground is full or nearly full and we have a big game it can be as good as any ground in the lower leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamUltraRam Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I was in the terrace down the side of the pitch, just walked up & paid my £15 - I couldn't get a ticket in our end but just kept an eye on their website & took a chance. Interesting listening to the locals, they didn't seem aware of the fact that this was our 'backup' team they just saw it as a chance to play/beat a higher club - fair play The fans around me warmly applauded our fans when the attendance was read out although I cannot see how the ground was only just over half full - one of those mystery low declared attendances I think. I've also noticed that Reading played their 1st eleven at Huddersfield so hopefully they will be a little tired on Tuesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody got injured , some squad players got a game and we scored two goals, so it was a good day out. Boro have 22 games to play. We have 21 plus ? Play the same team in the next round? Don't think they will let us play Hartlepool again in the next round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could retain the trophy each year using the same principle. It would be like winning the Pools every year, richinspain. I was in Barcelona and Malaga last month.

Mr Russel did well, but he was really close to the away fans when attacking, so I could see that great! Reminded me of Peter Reid (?) in the hand of god game where he was 2 yards behind maradona all the way for his goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovely out there, enjoy There would still be some on here complaining because we hadn't won the cup by enough goals each year . I've been living near Valencia for nearly 19 years. Like any place it's got it's really good things going for it, and some not so good, but in general I'm really happy out here thanks. Never been to Malaga, but I do like Barcelona. Valencia is well worth a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
