Are there standing spots are was that just a joke lol

The number is 566. Probably just an issue number because its really tiny on the bottom of the ticket.

566? Watch out for the person behind you - they'll be a real beast.

You'll be next to me maddog, I have number 568. The spots are numbered like houses in a street (567 will be in front of us).

You'll recognise me as I'll be carrying a tin of tartan paint and a glass hammer (I'm coming straight from work).

That's a point, one of my mates is going straight from the game to work. Will his sky hooks pose a Health & Safety risk on the terrace? :dunno:

Quite possibly. I had my left handed screwdriver confiscated once.

It wasn't a joke. Have you never been in a terrace before? They have this system everywhere. Why do you think Daggers was moaning so much about standing behind a tall person at Bristol Rovers away?

ha ha, must have almost been worth trawling the threads to find a quote!

566? :crylaugh: You must have been right at the back of the queue!

I'd stay at home and listen to it on the radio mate. You'd get a better view from the toilets than stood there.

:giggle: subtle, yet at the same time a sledgehammer...

I'll have to tell him to leave it at home and pick it up later with his long weight then.

I hope they didn't take your skirting board ladder.

He'll never get in with a long weight.

I'm going to bring my tin of holes and some metal sparks for some half time entertainment.

Does the place where you got your paint from also sell polka dot paint?

Yep! It's stacked next to the chocolate fireguards.

I find polka dot paint a little easier to stir than tartan paint.

Here at FootballTalentspotter.com we know football, which means we know that the game to see this weekend isn’t an International friendly. It isn’t even a World Cup qualifier. Oh no, the big one this Saturday comes from Cambridgeshire as League One leaders Leicester City travel to second placed Peterborough United.

The Foxes were running away with the title, holding a double digit advantage at the top of the table for months. However, wins have been harder to come by of late and that lead is down to seven. A loss to the Posh on Saturday will see it cut to four. Milwall and the MK Dons, the sides sitting third and fourth respectively, haven’t exactly gone away either. All of a sudden the race at the top of League One is getting interesting.

The match also has the potential to showcase some top quality outside the top two divisions, with several ‘star’ players in League One going head-to-head.

Matty Fryatt is generally regarded as the best striker in the league and he goes head-to-head with Peterborough’s star defender Gabby Zakuani. The Congolese defender missed the side’s first meeting in December because his loan from Fulham ran out, leaving him ineligible for three matches at the end of the month.

How he was missed, with the Foxes running riot at the Walkers. Their 4-0 victory was well deserved, showing a cutting edge that separated them from all others in the League.

Posh don’t lack at the top end mind you, with Aaron McLean, Craig Mackail-Smith (above) and George Boyd making a triple threat that’s attracted interest from several clubs, including Celtic. All are non-league products who have flourished in League Two, and have now taken things a step further in League One.

These three come up against a young centre back pairing of Jack Hobbs and Michael Morrison, both of whom have close links to Peterborough. Morrison played for the club as a junior before moving to Cambridge. There he developed further, making his way to the senior side before gaining his move to Leicester.

Hobbs never played for Peterborough despite living within 30 miles of the club. Instead he went to Lincoln City, where he played just three senior minutes before moving to Liverpool. He is currently on loan at the Walkers but expected to be subject to a bid from the foxes in the summer.

Earlier in the season both players were rotated alongside Aleksandar Tunchev, a Bulgarian international who easily has the potential to play at a much higher level. Everyone else’s loss has proved Leicester’s gain, until a season ending injury left him out and the pressure on the youngsters.

The possible weakness is something the Peterborough triple threat will look to take advantage of, although the Leicester defence has only conceded three goals in a league game once this season and three in their last five fixtures.

The midfield battle will be the key to who wins this game. Andy King and Matt Oakley have had too much for most this season, and it was lucky for the rest of the sides in this division that Mark Davies was snapped up by Bolton during his season-long loan with the Foxes from Wolves. He was a different class and has proved it already with an impressive start in Lancashire.

Peterborough have a little-heard-of yet quickly emerging talent in the shape of Paul Coutts. Signed from Scottish non-league side Cove Rangers, the 20-year-old has been accomplished and impressive thus far. His performances, notably against West Brom in the FA Cup third round, have helped him receive internationa

l honours at the Scottish under-21 level.

He will be partnered by either Dean Keates or Charlie Lee. The later hasn’t played much in central midfield this season, covering injuries and suspensions across the back line with performances similar to those that won him the Peterborough player of the season last year.

Still don’t believe this is the game of the weekend?

Well, we haven’t yet mentioned the wide threat posed by the foxes in the shape of Manchester United loanee Tom Cleverley (if fit) and Lloyd Dyer. Strikers Paul Dickov and Steve Howard are both likely to feature, with the later the usual preferred partner of Fryatt. Both players have Premiership experience and will look to beat former England call-up Joe Lewis, a keeper with a big future predicted.

Let’s not forget the managers either, with two young up-and-coming British coaches facing off. Nigel Pearson produced some magic to save Southampton from the drop to League One last season, while Ferguson has spent his chairman’s riches wisely in the last two season, not splashing out on big names or relying on loans from his father.

Both have created sides that like to play football, and have proved that it’s possible in a division that isn’t always famous for the ball on the ground.

London Road is sold out for the game, and those lucky enough to have a ticket will enjoy a great atmosphere. Peterborough gave over 25% of the tickets to Leicester, who sold out their 4,100 allocation in three days.

All the ingredients are in place, and if these sides bring the ability and talent that they both undoubtedly have, we could see a game worthy of gracing the Championship next season.

Thats a nice article.

Should have done more research though and wrote that King, Howard and Cleverly are all definately out.

Enclosed with tomorrow's match programme is some free half time entertainment.

It's a piece of paper with PTO on both sides.

You'd better give maddog the answer to that. He'll miss the entire 2nd half following the instructions.

If he gets stuck, tell him to come across to the London Road End and ask for A. Wedge

I am so chuffed to get last minute tickets for this. Very excited about it. Only concern is that our tickets are number 3927 and 3928 - I'm thinking this will mean we're right at the back of the terrace and Greg might struggle to see. maddog, could we swap tickets with you so we can stand nearer the front please?
