It is impossible to gauge the noise from SSL1 but has the safe standing had any positive effect? The corner, next to the away fans, when I looked over, does not seem as vocal as it was previously. SSL3 is great but its full of 40/50 year olds and older, it should not really be the loudest part...

I thought it was absolutely brilliant in SSL3.

Really needed those results today as the remaining fixtures and, in particular, the lack of rest between high intensity matches means we desperately need a buffer to stand a good chance. This wkend has just shown how quickly things can change and there are potentially 12 games left

If this guy is as good as people say you don’t turn the opportunity to sign him. Pep famously loves midfielders, particularly technically gifted ones. If we have a chance of getting him, and Pep rates him, the team formation will be adapted to suit. Just like it has with out and out wingers and...

I remember this well. They stopped anyone buying a ticket on the Kippax with a membership card numbered over 11k. I remember it well as my number was just over the 11k and as a young kid of 14 I was inconsolable.

All the best buddy

Of course he is but City fans love giving these people publicity and clicks they crave. No one would know about this guy if it wasn’t for blue moon.

Im not going to get into digging another clubs support as I think Palace have a decent following but I agree bar the maybe 40/50 over the tunnel/sign there was not much going on. I was right next to the home fans across the netting in the Arthur Wait sign and it resembled a neutral end with many...

His first touch to control a football is incredible. Outstanding yesterday.

It is a game where the stakes are high, huge sense of jeopardy and the opposition, like ourselves, are constantly trying to exploit an error. Demands huge levels of concentration and technical ability not to make that mistake.

Its incredible isn't it. Arsenal, with one of the best defences in the league, decided to play pretty much a back 10 camped on the edge of their 18 yard box. Of course it was difficult to create but the team gave absolutely everything, defended brilliantly and the press was the best I have seen...

But surely there has to be early leavers to vacate those seats for other then to move back to?

I was in SSL3 and although it never reached the heights of when we have just scored or winning a big match it was pretty good for a game where we created very little. Additionally there were not really any prolonged quiet spells with regular chants and vocal encouragement. Under the...

I am probably one of those who fell intk that category but always pass my ticket on or worst case list it on the exchange. The problem is there is such a massive gulf between match day prices and my season ticket cost its just not cost effective to give it up and then pay individually for the...

I suppose the club will have the 150 quid membership fee to cover the cost of missing any of the less profile matches and, happy to stand corrected as I only read it on here, if its a one year maximum flexi season ticket deal, gets rid of a season ticket holder who prefers not to attend the...

I was also in the queue for the semi final v Wigan in the play offs. For some unknown reason tickets were on sale at 4/5pm and so the queueing started at 8/9 am. To all those in the queue they handed out raffle tickets and so it was presumed if you had a raffle ticket you were going to get a...

Pretty sure I did 11/12 but I reckon I got to queue inside the ground after about 7.

Ha, yes great memories. After the 7 hour queue outside I remember the queue snaking into the stadium and there was some very dark humoured graffiti written on the walls by frustrated fans. One was along the likes of ‘Another Bernard Halford promotions/organised event’ and another, with a...

Great to see a thread about Jasmin and it has been discussed within the Running Thread but she is more than worthy of her own thread. Just to add to the above the run consists of 5, 20 brutal mile loops and she was not only the first woman to finish but also the first woman to ever start the...

Yes I just checked it against equivalent races and the times/placings are not too dissimilar. So really I was far too close to the front. Happy with the time just a bit deflating getting overtaken regularly.
