    ... ... before RTB muscles in <laugh>

    As we say before every match, 'This will be a tough/important/must win game but we'll have good support and have a good chance of all three points, it's our last before Christmas so it would be good if we did. On the face of it we have one of the hardest fixtures although Wigan are at Oxford which won't be easy for either team.

    We've had some good days out there and some good results at what's an old time ground. I remember Billy Hughes taking a penalty three times there, one night, but can't remember which counted, if any <laugh>

    I'll be going from Mansfield, on the train, unless anyone's passing Mansfield or Newark and I'll probably have a few spare tickets as well. I reckon we'll have good support down there and could go into the Doncaster match with the chance of going top two.

    A draw wouldn’t be the end of the world. We’ve done well against them since they were relegated - 3 wins and one draw?

    Ha’way the lads.

    Hopefully 7 days rest and get a couple of the injured lads back - Cirkin, Evans and Hume supposed to be reasonably close to getting back.

    Well well well, strange what 2 wins at home does for the odd optimist strand that threads it's way through my body: I'm now looking forward to Ipswich. Hhhhaaawwwwwaaaaaayyyyyyyy the lads.

    Oh I can get that stuff on prescription… although there’s nothing “semi” when you use it (had to do it for testing purposes!!!)

    I've no idea what goes on with other clubs and how much supporters help each other.

    But over many years I've had nothing but help, support and kindness from our lot.

    It's bloody marvellous tbh.

    Since deciding I can make Ipswich, yesterday, I've been offered a ticket, a lift from Mansfield and a couple of pints from a lad I sorted Cambridge tickets for. All i need now is a piggy-back to my seat and I'll be sorted.

    Does it not have to be a lateral flow test as negative? Easy to get without taking the test?

    I don't have.clue mate, the 3 word slogans just keep coming, it's like a game of 'Simon Says' now ffs.

    I've had two tests, three jabs and now I can't go to the match without more tests ...

    ... I've decided to go to as many games as I can in case it closes down again.

    Haway the Lads<cheers>

    You can get proof of vaccine from NHS website (or on NHS App) - if you have that, you don't need a test

    Am pretty sure I saw an article where UK nationals who were jabbed abroad can get their vaccines verified on the NHS App.
