Chesterfield (H) - Play-off 2nd Leg, Friday 16th May, 8pm

They moved all the migrants out after tbat woman got stabbed and killed so guessing the contract was also ripped up.

The immigrants were moved out a few months ago due to the tragic murder of one of the hotel workers.

Most were moved to Bournemouth or into HMOs according to the home office.

Great news about the hotel though. Means I can come up more often, I wonder if the fact they used to house immigrants will mean people forget it’s open to the general public now.

Let’s have a whip round and buy Milan & Jacko a ticket before they all goon :zany_face:

Away fans been using it for a couple of months now they’ve bussed all the refugees somewhere else.

I still think it’ll be touch and go whether it sells out.

A good flurry today but still plenty left, especially in the away end. I still think there’s a couple of blocks we could make available on top too. So I’d say overall around 1250 tickets to go before we sell out. Would mean a crowd of around 10,500 as I’ve left a couple of blocks empty for segregation purposes.

As ā€˜Upstart Crow’ would say, ā€œBollingtonsā€. As likely as the PL actually trying to implement sanctions against those cheating barstewards Man City!
The EFL has an ā€˜elite’ that will always get away with anything…I seem to recall that even one of Bradford’s players was back in the dressing room even before the match had officially finished and had to be brought back out on to the pitch!

Are we on Sky on Friday too by the way? My own local in Frodsham has banned me for misbehaving whilst watching us win on Sunday! So I will have to find another pub showing Sky!

Me too! After this season, I’ll never be confident about us again! The first goal will be crucial on Friday night. The longer we can keep Chesterfield from scoring, the better!

Where have you managed to get mate? Anywhere near us?

The exclusion of Williams, Hall, Chang, Asimwee until it was too late has cost the club oromotion. We may do it the hard way and Sadler can save his skin. If we dont do it he has to go for this total mismanagement of the squad

Block one on the end half way up. I often lurk there second half with a couple of mates from way back.

Get your tickets now…

Clutching at straws, I checked to see if any club had ever had points deducted for a pitch invasion. Can’t remember the details now, but it has happened. Even if applied to Bradford, too late now for a retrospective imposition after the playoffs, and it would have to be next season.

Can’t see how you could stop a pitch invasion if fans are determined there’s
only so much a morbidly obese bloke in his fifty’s or a 5 ft 2 mother of five can do.

Chesterfield’s 1116 tickets go on sale to their ST holders tomorrow morning (online only). How fast do you think they will sell out?

This ref wasn’t going to take the risk of getting caught up in a pitch invasion at Fylde FC

(From 5:26 minutes)

They achieved it at Burnley with loads of stewards, police and a big rope..

Remember Swindon away they brought dogs on which worked.

This feels far more like it.

Can’t wait until Friday now. It’s going to be tough and by no means a certainty but we’ve restored a bit of pride and have learned to shut teams out again.

I also love the fact we’ve taken ownership of the ā€œtop of the league and we focked it upā€ chant.

Cook was spot on when he said the first goal is crucial,it will tilt the atmosphere to either more noise from us and a virtual party or a more subdued nervousness and when I put it like that I ask myself why do I bother? :laughing:
