Anyone got any idea on the chances of rocking up on the night and buying at ticket? I did this a few years ago and got in with no problems but they might have tightened the allocations up since.

Not sure about the home end but we've nearly sold all 3500-odd of ours.

I'm going and it will be depressing.

........... Someone who can create chances for a striker of Bent's ilk.
I am more pessimistic about this season than any season before. I still hope for good news and salvation, one thing I am sure of, it's not coming in the form of Darren Bent.
Probably not. I live in hope that at least for the first 10 games he can nab 3-4 goals somewhere. Even if he only touches the ball a dozen times in those 10 games.

I also live in hope that Gabby has been practicing his diving, as we could do with plenty of free kicks from 25 yards out. Charlie Zog could then net us a couple.

Usually is.  We normally have three sides of the ground.

My mum supports Walsall so I'll probably just go in their end tonight.

Taking the wife and kids. I have been to a number of the Walsall friendlies. I think Guy Whittingham scored on his debut in one of them. The only time I have seen us lose was when Paul Merson was their player manager. Haven't been for a few years though. The last one I think Weimann scored a couple and it may well have been MON's last game in charge. I'm looking forward to it. My eight year old daughter was up at eight this morning digging out one of her older brothers old Villa tops out to wear. She has got a 'Bent 9' one so I hope he plays and scores.
