KWP missing from the 49 training pics published this evening on the OS. Every other player - inc likes of Kamaldeen, Che and ABK - shown as present. Could be nothing, could be something. As you were.
Yeah that's why I was annoyed I couldn't do either this or Boro as they're a guaranteed ticket if you want one and would have added to my (official) one from last year. I'm keeping track of details for each away game so by November reckon I'll be able to predict what specific games will go to.
Waiting until Friday for general sales. Managed Sheffield Wed and Sunderland so far. Seems to depend on size of away ground and allocation.
Distance too - you'll get Boro easily. Definitely Preston and Blackburn as well. If we're near the top of the table most the season then I think hardly anything Brum southwards goes beyond STH tbh. Quite a Northern league this year.
Sunderland are without a fit striker at the moment. Likely to sign one before deadline day though, so obviously a debut goal will be scored against us. But Ryan Fraser is ex-Newcastle, so that makes it 1-1. EDIT: And so is Adam Armstrong! We win 2-1!!!
There are nine games I can get to within about two hours drive. Might give Stoke a miss on a cold, wet, windy Tuesday night though.
Stoke exists in a space-time vortex. It's not merely that it's always Tuesday: it's always the same Tuesday, specifically Tuesday, November 22nd, 1988. But no one really notices, because for those entering the bubble it's merely Stoke behaving exactly as expected.
I was going to look up whether it rained on that day, but couldn't find historical weather going back that far. But let's be real: it rained that day.
Went there one evening for Saints. Got well & truly fooled; it was rather pleasant & then the wind kicked up thro that stadium gap & heavens opened. Left the game saturated but rain had stopped by then which just made it worse. Can’t remember the result so that tells a story as well.
File under normal rather than paranormal but I'll never forget ... Going to the Rugby Club before the game, the car park is raised and the wind was so strong it was difficult to keep upright Made very welcome, good Beer & Pies Started raining as we got to the ground and my mate was in the last seat by the SW gap in the ground It was blowing a SouWesterly and he was getting battered by the rain, I was trying not to laugh, and failing 1 or 2 minutes in was it? Begovic lobbed Boruc with a drop kick from his area Thats entertainment!
Well, the Ross Stewart situation makes for an interesting (if slightly unusual) backdrop to this match...
