Its not just Devon Live who have a penchant for making up stories.

Oh, and 1500 Wednesday fans? Are they encouraging them to go in the home end...

Oh, and 1500 Wednesday fans? Are they encouraging them to go in the home end...

Yes! (And it was 1311)

but how many would you normally give the away team and given that you’ve sold out, to give us more would be unfair on your own fans wouldn’t it?

in order to have had enough points to get a ticket you needed 950 points which is basically to have gone to every home and away league game and 3 cup games in the last 2 years

Fleetwood have given us even less (1100) for the game on Boxing Day

Taking the last starting line up as our team, Jevani is already on the bench!

Like to see Brown Stanno and Nombe all starting. I'd go for a 4:3:2:1 formation myself.

The two being Stanno and Jevani and the one being Sam? Can't you just say 4 3 3 and leave it that?

 

[denzel]

Yes! (And it was 1311)

1311 is what we would give every side if they could bring it.
Its not a low figure, its getting on for 18% of the total capacity.

 

[Billy The Fish]

Hope they've got plenty of Bovril in.

 

[SEA Grecian]

Yes! (And it was 1311)

You should be very grateful that Sutton didn't get promoted. They only give five or six hundred tickets to away clubs and for that you get the privelege of standing in what is not much more than a glorified bus shelter with a terrible view and even worse facilities.

A bit out of date as they used to have a small seated area in the corner and have now turned half the away end into a stand, but it's still a dump in a park.

 

[David Treharne]

It's 3c (about the warmest it's going to get today) with 50/50 light grey/dark grey cloud. It tried sleeting around 10.30, then subsided to rain and stopped after about 40 minutes. The wind, which barely moving in NW, but it feels quite cold. About to ingest warming soup, before going to a chilly Red Square for a couple of winter warmers.

 

[Oldsmobile-88]

Yes! (And it was 1311)

I was talking to a couple of Weds supporters in the St Anne’s Well pub before the game. They explained how hard it is to get tickets for away games in this division.
A lop lot of supporters in the pub. The jukebox selection had them all singing along
