Is VAR being used tonight? I vaguely recall reading that it could only be used if it was available for both legs and not sure if Burton's ground is set up for it.

Still cant believe,15WUM voted for us to get beat..

IF the online ticket site is accurate about 38k sold so far (incl Burton) but I am a bit suspicious as to whether it's accurate as 48 hours ago almost the whole stadium was available.

You are probably right most of the bottom two tiers appear sold which is around 36000 ish seats, 3000 aways and those in the Third Tier of the East Stand which looks like a couple of thousand. The sales today seem to have completely stalled since yesterday judging by the planner so we'll do well to get to 40,000.

Sky predictably comparing our two squads, cost, wages etc. Just like they didn't do last season when the scum were knocked out by Bristol City.

Arseholes!

They forgot to mention the height off our grass..

Weird, as I distinctly remember them doing this. Rashomon!

Does anyone know if flasks are allowed in. I got a small flask type travel mug for Christmas. Might need that tonight.
You know when your getting old when you ask the above question! :-)

There was only a few blocks left last night. Only 1 block on lower tier. Wasnt many seats left in these blocks either
