After last Saturday wouldn't be too unhappy with a draw, providing we get an improved performance, which is hardly asking for a lot.

Are there no trains at all on Saturday? Last time there were a few but looking on Trainline it appears there's none at all ? Bit of a disaster for those on public transport,expect the bus will be packed now. Not ideal weather for it either. What a disaster

Nope, we have to win. At home. Against a team that just avoided relegation and is weaker. We should not accept a draw at all.

Is the correct answer Drummond. 2-0 to Villa.

Absolutely.

Tired of excuses. And that’s not just a SG thing, it runs back almost a decade. A big club that hardly ever wins and sees a point at home to Everton as acceptable.

Train strike.

Im anticipating Fred somehow spinning this to be the clubs fault for not putting on a load of free coaches for the supporters…

The train strike must be inconvenient of course but we always  seem to get good crowds on Boxing Day when there's no public transport at all is there?

Quite a few returns from season ticket holders put on today. Just shy of 200.

Not bad. Wouldn't this be classed as what was once "the factory weeks", last week of July, first week of August?

I think there will be a few giving it a miss, not just because of the trains. The Upper Holte is like a fucking greenhouse where I sit.
As for travel, there has been plenty of notice so we've all made different arrangements and if the Rags weren't in Wales (well a tiny proportion of them) they could've had a good old drink in town?

Holidays, trains and heat. The family in front of me are never at the first couple home games and haven't been for the 20 odd years they've been sat there. Sure these returns will be snapped up.

There are no trains but still buses are still supposed to be running a Sunday service, usually. Though they often seem to become non-existant after about 5pm.
