1-1 draw because we do better against the better teams.Wouldn't surprise me if we got results against Charlton, Huddersfield & MK & got nothing against Chesterfield, Exeter & Tranmere.

Even though I expect nothing from the game planning to go.

Who knows with us it's the top team so we'll probably end up shocking them then struggling against lower teams knowing us.

Part of me thinks we could nick a draw so I'll go with
2-2 with 300 saddlers there to watch

If we're lucky, no-one seems interested in this one.

I'll be heading down with a few mates. How much is it? I presume we can pay on the day? Forgive my laziness for not finding this out myself.

Away fans:
South Stand
Adults £25, Over 60's £18, Under 18's £10, Under 11's £5

Most definitely be POTD too I'd presume.

fudge steep that adult price though, get in for under 18 if you can.

So it's okay to be a rob dog in London?

Brentford only charged £20 (I think).

I think Charlton have outdtaed ideas of grandeur.

I didn't say that but we all know London prices are scandalous.I think Orient charged 23 quid as well.And yes Brentford did charge 20 quid, wouldn't surprise me if that was for the terrace!!! 20 quid to bloody stand up.

Don't forget that Hartlepool was £25 too - away fans are subsidising cheap season tickets up there, presumably Charlton's excuse is that they're mossiv.

And, of course, like Sheff Wednesday, think they only have to endure Division 1 temporarily, before they end up in thier rightful place in the Championship, so charge strangers heavily for the 'privilege' of attending one of thier games! :evil:

I'm banking on a re-run of the FA Cup game, and will be bringing my flat cap.

You missed the bit off the end, that reads - "interrupted by a football match".

They had two sent off today, so won't quite be at full strength on Monday. That said, they also had Johnnie Jackson and Bradley Wright-Phillips on the bench today, so their idea of full strength is probably quite different to ours.

As PT said on the Chesterfield match thread, we've got a free shot on Monday. No-one expects us to get anything but let's give it a go and try to give ourselves more breathing space for the last four games.

I think we can get a draw. I've got a feeling that something is there for the taking. Unfortunately, I haven't ruled out a bosting

Anything from this is a bonus.

Would recommend anyone paying the full adult price on the day does so in pound coins, and when they complain tell them if you didn't have to hand over TWENTY FIVE of them then it wouldn't take them so long to count.

1-1

There were no discount advance tickets as far as I am aware. You could buy a ticket, but it was still 25 sheets. Was a similar price at Notts County wasn't it? £24 I think, disgusting. Still, we pay it, so they can charge it I guess.

@Belg, as many pubs as you like, do you want me to bring that can of 8.9% Lager of yours with me ? :lol:
