6 wins out of 6 for newly promoted Blue Star after a 5-0 win v Brandon Utd yesterday. Bizarrely seen a rear car door open, a lad flat out on the back seat and a pool of spew on the pavement beneath his head after I left the ground. Can of drink visible inside. Hope it wasn't his car. No way he'd drive home.

It is an interesting one but the way things have been since the takeover, it seems like members haven't necessarily been choosing which games they go to. It's been more of a case of people getting to whichever games they've been lucky enough to get tickets for. The points , big or small would just be given according to which games each applicant had been successful for. Takes away the 'loyalty' aspect IMO.

Hope they can keep them going for 90+ minutes for games in January.

Similar to Netflix? 1st episode will appear some time tomorrow then I just find it and press play anytime from then on in? God , I really am an old git.

Old bloke here. Not familiar with amazon prime. Can you choose to watch the documentary anytime or is it a case of watch it at the time it's aired or miss it?

I suppose if they're happy to sit anywhere most will enter the ballot as it gives them an extra chance of getting a ticket. If your physically unable to reach areas of the ground or fussy with the view you'd probably only try the the resale option.

It would make sense to offer successful ballot applicants a ticket in a particular area/areas 1st. Those offered can then take it or leave it. Seems the way it is people are "stuck" with tickets in unsuitable or inaccessible areas.

Olivia Atwood isn't it? Bet she'll love Sunderland. Saying that Blackburn's hardly glamorous. In reality they're probably moving from Alderly Edge or somewhere in Cheshire to Darras Hall.

Class from Trafford. His granda is old Trafford you know.

Think demand merely to get in and see the 1st team these days is so great, and people will be so hungry for toon games by then that this will be well attended.

Last seasons away kit had the Paisley pattern. Was very popular.

St Mirren home top:

"Then look to keep eg the family enclosure as affordable as possible." I think the club probably regret having such a massive family section tbh. Ashley was happy to make it that big cos he was happy to fill seats by all means. There'd probably be some uproar if somehow they reduced it massively now.

Played for St Mirren too (my favourite club up there). Personally can only remember him from his playing days at Man U and Leeds (I think). RIP Gordon.

Aye, was that game at QPR on plastic? Where we were 4-0 up at HT to draw 5-5.

Aye, I think Villa are best equipped to take something off Liverpool. Even a draw would be a massive help as we'd possibly only need 1 win/3 draws from our remainder. Brighton will be hard on Thursday but they've lost at Forest and to Everton in recent weeks. Conceding 3 and 5 respectively. Great win today but a bit hit and miss. We've got 2 chances of qualifying. Match Man U results or fend Liverpool off. Fulham last day for Man U so maybe Mitro will help us.

I think you're right. I think Espanyol did play there.

Think as it stands Brighton could finish on 71 and as pointed out so could Liverpool. A win v Brighton would see us on 68 and Brighton could still get a maximum of 68 too. Hopefully our GD would better theirs but lots of ifs and buts.

Think I've worked out that if Brighton fail to win tonight that would mean us beating Brighton would ensure we finish above them. Hard game of course.

Because they have to play each other we are guaranteed to finish above one of them.

Hope his twins grow up with Geordie accents.

Hope he does bird for this.

Forest Green which seems to be in a village in the middle of nowhere and tricky to get to. The other thing is they've got new ground plans but I'm unsure of the time scale. Trying to avoid going twice. Relying on Notts Co coming up too or there'll be another added to the list.

Coventry v Reading for ground No 91 of the 92 for me this weekend gone. 2-1 Cov' to put them 5th. Coventry fans were sound and I wish them well after being through the mill over the years. Ground sharing with Northampton then Birmingham. Spoke about their animosity with the mackems and it was said more than once that Coventry aren't bothered by them but Sunderland hate them. Reading fans on the other hand went down in my estimation. Had the cheek to sing "Coventry's a shithole" then on the train from Coventry to Coventry Arena station were singing "Reading, taking over your town...again" (love will tear us apart tune). Reading man! A nothing town and a nothing club. Thought the city centre had quite a contrast of buildings. Some fairly bland and modern but also some Tudor like buildings you'd expect more in Stratford upon Avon or the likes. Had a look in the old cathedral, almost destroyed by the Germans during the war before I set about getting blitzed myself. Was a bit ropey at the Spurs game yesterday.

Mentioned it in another thread but was on a train last Saturday when 3 very unhappy Darlo fans got on after their 3-0 defeat at Brackley. They fully expected Alun Armstrong to be gone by Sunday. Guessing he's hanging on. I hadn't realised they were struggling so much until I overheard their conversation.
