    That is a good show for a midweek game against lower league opposition. Great effort by all who travelled.

    Just said the same on my thread mate. Some clubs would be happy with this as a home attendance never mind a mid week, weather effected 460 round trip journey.

    First class.

    First class indeed. When you think so called big clubs like Villa bring about 700 up here on a Saturday afternoon.

    <applause> to the lads who made the trip.

    Thankfully they will have a smile to go with their pints. :)

    Top drawer stuff.

    I honestly think only us , Mags, Everton & Leeds would manage this.

    Credit to the club every one of them.

    This weather, week night, 3rd round of the cup, league 1 opponents, for once I even have to admit that's amazing. Had just tweeted to similar effect.

    Is that terracing in the top row of their stands, or didn't they put the seats in? (Pic tonight off SAFC Facebook page)

    It was built for 32,000 seats Sid but they only put 22,000 in.

    32,000? Bit optimistic for what was essentially a new club, I'd have thought.
