surely if it goes to general sale it would sell out?  Would be a tad embarrassing if it does not to be honest

I'm guessing it's to do with it kicking off in there last time we played the carrier bags.

Against the baggies we couldn't get in the Villa half as they closed it so we just walked in the baggies section, very strange feeling going behind enemy lines, we squeezed through a fence in to the Villa section, very touch and go as to which fans were going to attack us first.

And you invited me down to meet there!

Haha, forgot about that. Yes you should have come down, it was good fun.

Got my son his ticket to the game this afternoon at the Ticket Office.

I expected to see hoardes of furtive Blues fans trying to buy tickets in The Holte. 

There was not even one.

The last time an away fan made himself known in the Trinity Middle (v Arse last season) he got one of the best slappings I've ever seen.
The Trinity Middle ffs!
My tartan blanket fell off my lap and I nearly choked on a Werther's!

It happened a few times when we were up in A2 - usually scousers (blue and red), manure and, strangely, 3 Southampton fans when we weren't playing Southampton

i was in a1 in the upper trinity against the bin dippers in january and a solitary scouser jumped up when they scored, the stewards had him out quickly as two pensioners were going to set about him. yet blues go in the holte and stand up and sing all game.

they just make themselves look even more stupid which takes some doing

Anyone else not received their tickets yet..?

The text just after saying "Don't" was the clue Si...  ;-)

They have sold out of Vic 20's in Sheldon and you can't get a 48k Spectrum for love or money in Chelmsley

My booking ref is invalid. If anyone has a spare I'd appreciate it.

[glasses]

Still can't get in!

Spoke to someone at the shop yesterday and they said they were expecting to be busy today.

Was easier getting my ticket for the Semi last year.

I only want to buy tickets for the next two games
