MaliceInBlunderland Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 13k First game of the season I haven't been priced out of, and was really looking forward to taking the young un, until I was struck down by illness. Sister fate really is in b.itch mode this week, hope she doesn't support Wolves. UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Tom Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Thread started off perfectly sensibly then immediately got super weird. Not sure I understand what point is being made or why. FWIW, I’m a STH and I’m going. But I’m going partly ‘cos it was cheap and I like watching Wednesday, I like cup games at night, and after Reading we’ve a fortnight break so I’m getting as much in as I can now. Wouldn’t blame anyone for going or not going though, STHs or otherwise. It’s a good price but a relatively unexciting fixture, and it’s midweek. Always bears repeating that lots of us don’t live within 20min (or even an hour) of the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other / younger fans don’t realise how big a deal it was winning it in 91. Pigs (unsurprisingly) downplay the achievement, despite getting all giddy when they reached the semis in 2003. Anyway - 11k tonight including me and both kids (out of necessity rather than any great desire for me to bring them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The big clubs are chasing the top four places. They'd rather come 4th than 5th and win even the FA Cup. Of the other fourteen, at very least eight will be worrying about relegation through to Easter. The top championship clubs are chasing promotion and only promotion. I don't like it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many games in how many days? Long BH weekend for some, back to work for others. Surely for a cup game we are all POTG? "nobody told me there would be days like these!"
