Wozski Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 I know this isn't ebay......... but my mate has punked out of going to tonights match at Hartlepool. It therefore leaves me with a spare ticket. Tickets were £20 but I'm open to offers on it. I'm travelling from Wrexham, so if anyone wants the ticket, let me know and I can either meet you with it anywhere north of Leeds or at the ground.
StanSP Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Need to get back to winning ways. And Fryatt needs to score!! Other than that, i'll be happy with a 1-0 win
davieG Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 From the Merc - has this buggered it? Leicester City stand on the brink of equalling a record in tonight's League One clash at Hartlepool (7.45). But that is the last thing on manager Nigel Pearson's mind. City travel to Victoria Park on the back of an 18-match unbeaten run in the league. That is one short of the club record which was established 38 years ago. But Pearson said: "I am not concerned about records, just on achieving promotion." document.getElementById('article-detail-impact-tile').innerHTML = document.getElementById('INVarticle-detail-impact-tile').innerHTML;document.getElementById('INVarticle-detail-impact-tile').innerHTML = ''; The 1971 side, managed by Frank O'Farrell and including City legends such as Peter Shilton, Graham Cross, David Nish and John Sjoberg, were unbeaten in their last 17 matches of the 1970-71 season on their way to winning the old Division Two championship. That run helped to earn O'Farrell the manager's job at Manchester United, and Jimmy Bloomfield was at the helm when City took the sequence to 19 games at the start of the next campaign. But Pearson's focus is on adding three more points to the promotion kitty. He said: "We are looking to get back to winning ways. It is important that we push on. "We had a difficult game (at Hartlepool) in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy when we had a very good second-half performance to win the game." City won that match 3-0 and they also beat Hartlepool 1-0 in the league at the Walkers Stadium. City want to improve on Saturday's third successive home draw when Swindon ran them close all the way. Pearson said: "We weren't very good. I know that and the players know that, but we deserved to get something out it. "We were well short of our best but it still ended up being a positive point for us. I am not going to start changing my tack now. "I know that in good times, bad times and indifferent times you have to stay pretty even about it. This is a bit of a blip but that's just football. "We have had some indifferent displays but we have had to work very hard for whatever we have got." Of City's main rivals, second-placed MK Dons are not in action tonight and S****horpe are on Johnstone's Paint duty. But Peterborough travel to Tranmere and Millwall are at home to Swindon, both of them hoping for a City slip so they can close the gap. This is the fifth time City have put together a run of 15 or more unbeaten league matches. On all four previous occasions – 1924-25, 1970-71, 1982-83 and 2002-03 – they were promoted.
StanSP Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 DavieG, i don't think it has. There have been numerous times where the Merc has foreseen broken records, and then we have gone on to break them. Pearson knows that the players focus will be on the game, rather than records. Read the last sentence too . It's like destiny ha!
Tilley Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 A 1-0 win, with an own goal which takes 22 deflections will do me. If not, then a 4-3 win after being 3-1 down will do.
davieG Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 With our current drawing habit, albeit at home, our current good away record and Hartlepool's home record of 3 losses and 6 draws from 15 games this seems to be a banker score draw, especially with our 'new' goalkeeper. 1-1
lavrentis Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Were away in tough conditions on a Tuesday night. I'll go for a 4-0 win
surrifox Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 With our current drawing habit, albeit at home, our current good away record and Hartlepool's home record of 3 losses and 6 draws from 15 games this seems to be a banker score draw, especially with our 'new' goalkeeper.1-1 three sides have beaten them and there are no better sides than city quod erat demonstrandum our 10 point lead at the top of this division ergo- 3 points! (or doesn't football always work like that?)
Daggers Posted 17 February 2009 Author Posted 17 February 2009 I'm off to get petrol and sort out the Daggersmobile ready for a fun-packed trip North. Looking forward to this as much as the Yeovil game, this will be good.
Joe. Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Expect goal anyway. Hartlepool score and concede shit loads at home. Do I have a bad feeling about this one? Yes.
Tilley Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Expect goal anyway. Hartlepool score and concede shit loads at home. Do I have a bad feeling about this one? Yes. Only because your not going.
Tilley Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 <_< Bastard. I will bring three points home, just for you.
C-man Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 My tickets have still not arrived. Not impressed.
Number 6 Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Feel more confident about this one. Hopefully we can turn in a record equalling performance at least. We seem to be pretty good on the road, let's hope some people get some well needed goals.
Wozski Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Fook it........... I'm going up on my own!!! Where's everyone going for a pre-match tipple??? I've a spare ticket if anyone wants it! F.O.C.......... unless I can swap it for an MK Dons one with the ticket office. You'll have to make your own way there though as I'm travelling from Wrexham!!
Tommeh Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Gotta love last minute decisions to go to games... Really up for this. 'mon you blue boiiiiiiis..
lcfc_jme Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Huge fan of late entries into the attendance pool.. My driver sounds like shit, I may not return alive from this trip. Should be a good'un though.. FOXES!
colbo68 Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Do it for Jade, boys! got a bad feelin about this one and hope I'm wrong - they are not a good side but we've been playing craply last few games - Chambers for Dyer and Berner for Mattock would be my choices
Munzie Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 A continuation of our excellent away form tonight....3-0 win for City and the third time we've beaten them this season.
GLC Posted 17 February 2009 Posted 17 February 2009 Gilbert and Cleverly dropped to bench, Brown and Berner in Bunn in goal
