People actually do that? 

 

God honest actual real life people? 

 

I thought they just made them up? 

 

Did they never get over the closure of 606?

We are ok at defending. Against Pompey a few seasons ago we beat them 1-0 at our place and just held out down there.  Not  great to watch.   But you do what you need too 

 

As many have said this should be the final but if we do lose I hope you lot go on and win at Wembley.

So much at stake I can see two draws and penalties  - imagine the nerves then.

Good luck for this weekend, hoping you lose and we might see you the season after next in the championship.

We arent good at defending, so we wont come up there and sit back. We dont know how to do it. Not sure how that will work out. If you really go at us, we may get beat 2 or 3 nil. On the other hand, it may play into our hands, as at MK.

If you get a lead at SoL, id expect you to defend heavily and try and counter when you can, in the return leg. We struggle against teams that simply defend for 90 mins.

I really feel its simply too close to call, but think there will be quite a few goals in it. Brilliant watch for neutrals

[wakefieldowl]

I really dont know why i read threads like this. I was nervous before, after reading this I probably wont sleep tonight ! Its only 3 nights away, so its getting worse and worse. I will be glad when its all over !

The Wheatscheaf is certainly a bit more livelier with a good mix of home and away fans.  

 

There's normally like drinking challenges on the stage between both sets of fans.  

 

I used to work across Road from the City Tavern.

Not a bad spot but different clientelle on certain nights

 

[Geedee]

So close to call the clubs could save a lot of bother and just throw coin.

A fixture worthy of the premiership.

Bloody hell man dont tell them all of secrets.  Down to you if we lose.

I see that we first played in the 1892-93 season.

 

Owls won the first game 3-2. Sunderland the return fixture three months later 4-2.

Oh, and also: I was thinking that's surprisingly few games between two clubs of similar pedigree who first played each other over two decades before the Great War. Which then chimed with a thought that for ages we missed each other.

 

From 1974 to 1984.

Then after the 84-85 season no more league games until 1996; just the R4 up game in 1993

Just three seasons in the same league in the decade after 1996; and then another ten year interruption.

 

Or put another way: this is only the sixth season in the past forty years where we have been in the same division.

I totally agree.  

 

I'm nervous/ excited already.

I hope we're practicing pens.

 

Not like that unforgivable Batty man...

Our latest sales figures are at around the 40,000 stage including your 2,000.  

We're expecting to be around the 45,000 area by kick off.  

 

With your attendance on Monday it will be touching 80,000 over the 2 games which is crazy!!! 

 

EFL record by the sounds of it

[Mackem1]

How's everyone feeling. 

 

I'll be honest.  The nerves are just starting to kick in.  

 

Looking like our crowd will be c42/43k tomorrow night.  

With 39k at yours (is it?) 

 

Looking around 80,000 for both games. 

 

Unbelievable support from both sets of fans.

Our stadium holds over 39k, but has been reduced to around 34,500 - it will be a sellout, but only about 32k in the ground because of SAG.

[royalowlisback]

We are not allowed to sell all the tickets, even at a reduced capacity, there will be gaps on the Kop, and the section near the away on the North will be corned off. We will only be allowed 1k on the bottom of the Leppings Lane End, even though it holds a lot more.....

All this winds me up!!! It needs addressing seriously. There may end up being another 2000 of our fans who would have gone to this game by Monday night but can’t because of “safety issues” even though it’s all been sold before in the not too distant past. It’s just crazy.
