Match Day Thread Shrewsbury Town v Sunderland - Tuesday 9th February - KO 19:00

clock I think you have got it. Only possible change would be AOB for Gucchi but either way that is a winning team.

 

Great thread as usual RTB. 0-3 to the lads and the promotion push starts

 

Anyone know what the weather is like down there?

 

Light snow on and off by the look of it, more off than on. Should be ok.

 

It's snowing and bloody freezing down here in Berkshire - but that's a long way from Shrewsbury.

 

without a stream again tonight, looking like the old firestik will need sourcing...do they take 'paypal' for the club streaming yet?

EDIT: yep, they do...so time to see if the streams are better/more reliable than i have been getting on the droid box.

 

When I go on to pay by credit card there is a PayPal option on the screen.

 

yup, cheers and sorted...i dont know when they started that but the last several times i checked in hope it kept saying the option 'was coming soon'...'soon' turned to despair.

 

Have seen it a few times but never used it, I tend to wait until the teams are put up before I buy incase there's problems with the game because I don't trust a refund from the current regime

 

Good advice

 

Sorry. Salary cap has its own thread.

 

Newcastle fan Curtis Main is fired up to open his Shrewsbury Town goal account against boyhood rivals Sunderland tonight.
Main, 28, spent around half of his childhood years at the Black Cats’ academy before being released aged 15 and will make a second home Shrewsbury debut against them tonight, writes Lewis Cox.
The centre-forward immediately joined Darlington, where he broke through in non-league and earned a move to Middlesbrough in 2011 – from whom he joined Shrewsbury on a brief month loan two years later.
But the powerful, battling frontman hails from a family of Toon supporters and can expect plenty of messages both before and after tonight’s Montgomery Waters Meadow clash.
“I started there way back, I think I was about eight when I signed, a long time ago!” Main said.
“I was 15 at the time (I left) and that’s when I went and signed for Darlington, I ended up in their first-team squad and spent a couple of years before going to Middlesbrough.”
Asked if the striker and his family were Sunderland supporters, the striker replied: “We’re not.
“It’s the other side. But listen, put all that stuff aside, when I step out on to the pitch I am there to win.
“I'm there to get three points and perform, it’s another game. I know there’s a bit of this and that behind, you can look at those things, but when I go on to the pitch I’ve only got one thing in my mind. One hundred per cent (I am after that first goal) – tonight.”


A message to you Curtis lad - FTM

 

You’ve really gone and done it with that last bit, lol

 

Tempting fate - I know

 

I'm 50 miles north.
Its 2 degrees here and sunny with cloud coming in.
The forecast for Shrewsbury is minus 2 by 7pm with little or no chance of rain or snow, High pressure building from the North East and expect a persistent shower of goals in Shrewsbury from around 7pm until around 8:45pm.

Mrs Smith rang in from Throbbingcock in Putterdown asking if there is going to be a hurricane.
Well we can assure you Mrs Smith there isn't a hurricane but there will be a case of Whirlwind Wyke for short spells in an isolated area of 20 yards.

 

I know his sister she works at my hospital canny lass

 

Not a chance we play that formation or line-up

Power will be RB in a 4-4-2/4-2-2-2

 

3-5-2 i would go tonight.

 

Any update on weather conditions anybody, will it go ahead so I can pay for my pass. TIA
