My experience is the opposite - here in E Yorkshire, the local (2-3 hour drives) away games rarely sell out- Good Friday at Lincoln a few years back is the only one I've wanted to go to and couldn't- and that took a fortnight. Understand and respect the ticketing system, just wasn't personally...
Anyone with spare tickets? Myself and son will be in Newport as I'm picking him up from uni in Cardiff that morning and we're even dropping off a friend of his who has a ticket! Was surprised by it selling out in a day- we had it on the calendar from the moment the fixture list was out.
Christ I can remember our 2019 cup replay. Had been oop north for six years at the point and thought I'd wrapped up well enough for the terraces on a cold night in December. The most vivid memory was the unheated gents toilets feeling like a sauna - in reality just a minute out of the piercing...
Bit of an emotional one for me tomorrow, last game with the lad before he's off to Uni- and a mirror of our first trip when we moved to Yorkshire. Let's hope we can repeat that 0-4 display.
I was in the Harrogate Tap (by the station) a few weeks back- excellent choice of very good beers. Well worth a visit, hope to see you there.
Ground is a good 20 min walk away and there may be queues at the gates as it's mostly a printed ticket system that causes tailbacks so worth aiming for...
Anyone local with recommendations for pubs and curry houses? Getting there early and staying after the game so happy to travel a little if they're decent food and beer.
One attendance that stands out is the Saturday at Grimsby, which is almost close to our lowest mid-week and only 2/3 of a Saturday at Carlisle, which is further. Several conversations between City fans as we left the ground were about how low the official attendance was. I would have added 50...
You are correct, the Macc supporter's trust say it's 30 mins from the railway, but that's the edge of the town of Macclesfield, with fields and the Peak District to the east. Not many local boozers on Google maps now, the two closest are the Golden Lion (further away from the centre) and the...
Out-of-town ground, my first in a while. Is there a visitors-friendly pub nearby, or is it stay in town and try and time the buses out (risky)? Three of us, so could be worth getting a cab, anyone know what the traffic is like around KO? Will assume it's fine, as the last few away mid-weeks...
Change of work plans means we can't get to Lincoln until 1900 at the very earliest and would appreciate some help from anyone with local knowledge. Arriving by car from the north (East Yorkshire), so wondering if there's anywhere that's easy (on-street?) parking and within 20 or so minutes of...
I was sitting in line with the keeper and Sweeney and even I knew where the ball was going. It was so telegraphed it came with GPO stamped on the ball. Before the kick Sweeney looked at that corner, then shaped his body to take the kick in that direction, then struck it. Even then, too close...
Yep, pretty much how I see it. Never understood how the manager is the star of the football team. There are exceptions, the Cloughs and Peps of the game, but most of the time the differences are mainly due to the playing budget and the players' esprit de corps. Neither are really in the hands...
WTAF. Spent the last three weeks in a haze of a chest infection and work. We live 60 miles from Lincoln, just checked ECFC away tickets and didn't DREAM this would sell out. Live and learn.
Are there any stats about midweek games and who's more likely to win them? Assuming Chesterfield will now be playing us on a Tuesday, do home sides win more in the week than at the weekend? Or does the later kick-off mean the away side have a less rushed journey. In the world of football...
