I wonder how many Burton will bring, a few hundred maybe?

Fantastic idea by the club, I think due to there being a few away games coming up most STs will turn up and it could be a cracking atmosphere. A must win in terms of Stam keeping the majority of fans behind him

Reckon 750-1000

Think they are quite chuffed about the fiver entry as well, sure they’ll make the effort

Negated by expensive trains though. Don't think many people have £65 to blow on travel at this time of year

Isn't there some train issues too, as well as the costs?

Hopefully it will be a good atmosphere

Doesn’t look too bad considering the time of year and rain we’ve had

Obv the egg chaser line outs have affected the wings but that can only be expected

Anyway we were shit hot at home last year with an abysmal pitch. Maybe it’s been too good this year

I am furious.

The worst half I've seen this season and for ages. Devoid of ANYTHING. Absolute dog sh*te.

Crowd are dead. Players doing nothing.

Yeah this has been atrocious. Barrow the only player looking to really do anything. Kelly can't string a pass together and keeps going for the Hollywood pass. Burton have their goal now so I imagine they will park the bus and we all know how effective we are against that.

Impressive effort by the team to make a fiver look awful value for money.

First 45 minutes: dire. Burton's keeper has been playing the time-wasting game from the first minute and their strategy going well.

Bacuna has had a horrible first half. Kermorgant and Aluko are completely absent.

Their goal was a shambles.

I feel sorry for the fans who paid the fiver for that.

Pathetic and unforgivable performance in front of a big crowd.

Sort it out Stam or oxf*rd off!

genome I think a win is vital tbh, as Bristol City are going to spank us on Boxing Day


Currently losing to QPR so might not be THAT bad.

There's a lot of work to do in the 2nd half to placate what seems to be an almost packed stadium

Kelly, Edwards and Van den Berg. I've eaten brie which ran more.
