L 4-0 vs Southampton (A) - FA Cup Third Round - Sat 6th Jan, 3pm

We had that at Wembley, just a couple of jerks who refused to sit down. With no way for us to move forward it spoiled the day, in as much as the two, and the women they were with, became abusive, then extremely aggressive.

Needs to be seating and standing provision for both. Although of an age where people presume I want too sit I’m actually better standing or would seize …… one match and I’d be there all season a cheaper option I presume
However I always stand on the back row so I don’t impact on others, a bit of consideration by all and the problem virtually resolves itself

Agreed, I’ve got no time for this type of divisive chanting. If it were racist or homophobic it wouldn’t be tolerated so neither should this and I type as someone who is not partisan on either side of that particular divide. We need to weed out these ā€˜supporters’, and make it be known that we won’t tolerate it in the good name of our football club.

Get this a lot at away matches, excessive drinking has a lot to answer for.
If ya want to stand throughout the match go to the back with the rowdy yoofs, don’t take the front row and stand up in everyone’s way, sometimes as someone above mentioned there is no where else to go, and you can be stuck with this thoughtless behaviour and ignorance throughout the match.

I was interested to discover that Drogheda lies on the river Boyne and there is a ā€˜battle of the Boyne’ visitor centre nearby which I will probably visit if we do play Drogheda in a pre season friendly

It has quite a history.

Well worth a stay if we play them.

I do hope some of our hard of understanding won’t turn it into something confrontational and that everyone respects the place, the people and our sister club.

Only 300 sold so far for Stockport this week, thought there would be alot more than that :smile:

Lots done their wad at Southampton. Post Christmas squeeze. Long month for lots.

Think we’ll get to 550 which given the above is still a fine effort.

Would be a shame to get under the 1k mark for this given our form in the league and recent numbers we’ve took to Stockport. Like @P.T rightfully said though, Southampton away and the post Christmas squeeze will jeopardize the end number.

we’ve only got 876 tickets which is the allocation now down the side, so i thought we’d sell all them, not so sure now

Better down the side, at least you don’t run the risk of a soaking.

I think @P.T is right. Bad month for a lot money wise and Saturday was the one a lot chose.

Same position myself, I keep doing the sums to justify being able to go and no matter what calculator I do them on it just won’t work. Will still probably end up going though.

215 at Grimsby was way down what it would usually have been and I’m sure Stockport will be the same (400-500 max) after our two four figure followings there last season.

With Southampton being prioritised by many and only so much money to spend, I think our away league support is going to suffer in the short term, just when the team are showing concerted improvement.

It’s the magic of the cup, I guess.

Newgrange prehistoric passage tomb, a UNESCO World Heritage is also nearby (about 5 miles) and is definitely worth a visit.

Captain fantastic, we’re very lucky to have him.

We aren’t lucky to have him at all. The other way round if anything. No one wanted him when we took him on, we basically rescued his career.

I’m a big fan of him and have said so many times but jesus let’s not go down that road, it’s just nonsense.

Not quite sure we rescued his career im sure he had other offers on the table. He has been a great leader and put in some excellent performances and very rarely has a bad game. So i would agree we are lucky to have him.
