Garrincha Out of 2000 allocation to date we have sold 700! (only 3 days to go)

Perhaps we should stop giving the large when it comes to away supporter's at the Mad Stad.....

This game may be on a Tuesday night but surely being one of the more accessible away games we should have a better showing than this????????????????????????????????????????????????????????!


Ridiculous. You really expected more than 700 sold for a midweek away match with 3 days to go?

By the way, putting 25 question marks makes you look like a fool.

Power post.

700 sold. That is brilliant in my books. Start of the promotion season we were taking 5/600 max away. Seasons before then saw us take 40 away if we were lucky! Admittedly if you do compare it to last season it is a bit shocking, but look at the standard of opposition we were playing, people wanted to visit these grounds whereas the fans doing it now are doing it for the love of the club. The reason I'm not going is because its an arse to get back to Oxford.

Yes totally understand that but look what happens when we went up to the Prem... loads of plastics came out the woodwork, filled the stadium for 2 seasons then left... think point i m trying to make is it would be nice to have fans who see us through thick and thin.

WOuld love to hear a chant we can sing as being OUR OWN RFC chant..... fat chance i know


Well then start one. Stop moaning about it and bloomin start one. And FWIW the stadium is mostly full every home game, and the away support (eg at Brizzle and Sheff Utd) is often very good.

We don't have a huge fanbase, because up until 3 years ago we were a small club. Obvious as we achieve more then fans will join the club, calling them plastics is the kind of thing that will drive them away.

I would have to leave work 1 1/2hrs early, and still couldn't get there (by train) until 2040. So it's not really worth it. Then I couldn't get back until the next morning, so definitely not worth it.

readingbedding Considering that due to us being Promoted this season it could be the last time we play Cardiff in Cardiff for a while.

Take a half day.


Last chance to stand legally at a ground in the top two Tiers of English footbal - at least until the law changes.


Which is why I'm going?

Is the Mayflower Terrace at Plymouth still open? I fancy going in there when we next visit Home Park.

Huntley & Palmer I'd rather plunge needles in my eye than go to that shit hole.


I had that done to my eye two weeks ago and it's not great but not quite as bad as you might think.
As for Cardiff and their fans-the very lowest of the low especially those that are old enough to know better but are happy to throw bricks at women and kids.
