Corky Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 The atmosphere will be shit. It's not the amount of people going, it's the people going.
Maybes Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 The atmosphere will be shit.It's not the amount of people going, it's the people going. Ive had better shits than MK Dons Football Club
lavrentis Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Ive had better shits than MK Dons Football Club Older ones too
Tommeh Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Older ones too Lovely Stuff. Maddog has to be on the wind up. He really should be on ignore by now but.... How he thinks 4,300 will guarentee a good atmosphere is beyond me. There will be one loud as fook "Leicester, Leicester, Lessssttooooooohh" people will then take their seats, moan at Howard when we're not 2-0 up at h/t with the odd "come on Leicester" 2nd half. Getting wrecked in the atmosphere van could be the only way to enjoy this.
Guest Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 It is a big game, why would people go to the ticket office at 7am if it wasn't you joker. Because part-time charlies have snapped up tickets, perhaps?
Uncle Albert Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Getting wrecked in the atmosphere van could be the only way to enjoy this. Go on Tommeh let your hair down.
Joe. Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 It's almost like people didn't expect it to be like this...?
Tommeh Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Go on Tommeh let your hair down. Not out tonight I had you down as a thurs, sat, thurs, sat.
Uncle Albert Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Not out tonight I had you down as a thurs, sat, thurs, sat. Nah man, funds are tight. Been thinking a night's out money in Loughborough or save it and put that money to a night out in Zante? Shaun is out tonight though, the lad who said you were 'Thursday, Saturday, Thursday, Saturday'.
Tilley Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Hopefully, the second allocation people will be standers, looking around this morning, it was all blokes/young lads, so fingers crossed.* *Obviously some women stand but you get my point....

I'm suppost to be saving myself for the drive + night in Bristol tomorrow, but for some reason I'm tempted by a late entry.
diggler Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 I think FT has invented a new form of football snobbery: Away games are only good if it's a 200+ mile round trip that less than 1k fans go to. It's like when your favourite band have a number 1 hit so you don't like them anymore - too commercial etc. Big support away from home can be a good laugh. Everyone keeps using Cov away last season as an example of big support = bad atmosphere, but don't forget 1/2 the fans had been arrested before kick-off! The riot vans outside were rocking at half time! Ticket or no ticket - it's a big game...

The riot vans outside were rocking at half time! Slightly over the top to say the least. Coventry was the worst away game I went to last season, not that I went to all of them but out of the ones I did that was the worst by some way. Sheff Utd was easily the best. Alot of home games I went to in The Kop were better than Cov away. And thats saying alot.

Alot of home games I went to in The Kop were better than Cov away. And thats saying alot. I heard about this. 6,000 fans wasn't it and you could hear a pin drop! Is that right?
Uncle Albert Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 I heard about this. 6,000 fans wasn't it and you could hear a pin drop!Is that right? Alot less than 6,000 dont know what the actual away support was. The support was alright but not in the same League as other away's I went to last year, the famous 'Ian Holloway, Holloway' got its first real going there aswell so it was doomed from that. The performance didnt help alot either, if I can remember I think we only had about 4 shots in the match so there wasnt much for the fans to get up about.
Koke Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Such a massive game, that I've decided to spend the eve of the 27th in Brighton and get stoned, and then we'll make the drive up to Milton Keynes the following day.

Koke Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Cov was about 5.000 I think. It was shit, but I think people are exaggerating slightly about its shiteness.
trugerkem Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 4300 fans a decent atmosphere for once.Getting laughed at for being a part-time fan by twats who think there really good, despite being a STH for 11 years and going to some away games in previous seasons, not in this division though. Roberto Di Matteo getting angry when we go 3-0 up at HT, hes normally so cool
Thracian Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 Will your fans be standing or sitting? Leeds all stood when they came. Leeds have ben caned so often this season they can't sit down.
Bert Posted 19 February 2009 Posted 19 February 2009 I heard about this. 6,000 fans wasn't it and you could hear a pin drop!Is that right? Cov was just under 5k. But that was only because it's a short trip. It was 6,500 that made Chelsea on the Wednesday night. But only 700 that made Burnley on a Tuesday night. The difference in mileage travel wise, is 14 miles. 105 miles to Stamford Bridge, 119 to Turf Moor.
