Relegation?

I think we will win. Hull have only sold 1000 tickets, which shows you how arsed they are about this game.

Good, the less away fans the better. I kind of wish we'd knocked prices way down to get the place rammed tomorrow.

I know what you mean but haven't we pissed ourselves laughing at small Heath for doing that?

Only when they do it and still get shit crowds. £10 for adults, kids for a quid, freebies to schools and ST holders and they still couldn't get 20K home fans to turn up.

Only 4 tickets left in P6, which indicates a fairly decent attendance  in my experience.

The good thing about small heath's relatively good following tomorrow is that it will get the Bolton players and fans more up for it too.

I am reassured to see you can still get 9/1 on us going down. 

I was surprised. Even tempted. I dont think the bookies look properly at the form tables. I think 3/1 is more reasonable.

That's because they don't. The odds are purely a reflection of how much money has been placed on us compared to our "rivals". ie plenty of people think there's more chance of 3 other teams dropping than us.  If we get a remotely unfavourable set of results tomorrow, those odds will only fall if people lump on us, rather than what the bookies think will happen.

The bookies aren't that interested in predicting what will happen. 
They are interested in using computers running mathematical models to ensure they have maximum chance of turning a profit and minimum chance of taking a hammering.

I hope those 1,000 codheads are sat on their hands in grim silence the whole afternoon

Most areas are all but sold out. Looking very 40K'ish.

[PeterWithesShin]

Isn't codheads Grimsby? Then it again it could be Hull, some shitty Northern backwater either way.

Death to the codheads. 

Or a night out in Hull. Same thing.

[PeterWithesShin]

That's how down with the kids I am! Haters be hatin', while i'm just rollin'.

Thanks for puncturing my bit of reassurance just before I go to bed...

[PeterWithesShin]

The odds are 9/1 because not much money is going on us to be relegated. If any serious gambler thought we would they'd lump on at those odds and bring the odds down. So sleep reassured.

Thanks for that.
