    Anyone going to this? I've ordered my tickets and will be down the M4 Tuesday week. Helluva trip for those in the NE though...!

    Still not decided, it's a horrible journey at that time of day - and that's just from Berkshire.

    I'm taking a half day to beat the traffic. I have about 20 miles of M25 (past Heathrow) then the M4 and after about 4:00 pm you need a bloody helicopter!

    Just bought tickets for Wycombe instead :emoticon-0103-cool:
    Too much hassle getting to Bristol after work.

    That was partially in jest mate, but appreciate the offer. I'm in Teddington so I could easily make my way out to somewhere en-route, by the M25.... just gotta get a ticket (and permission) first.

    Teddington's easy enough (daughter works there) and I have a spare! You only need permission and a half day as I'll be there around 3.00 pm :) Let me know if you can make it.

    See the Bury v Portsmouth semi is tomorrow night.
    At least when our games played next week we'll know who the other finalist is.
    Of the two teams Bury are in better form than Portsmouth at the present time.

    Just read something that I thinks amazing.

    The record attendance at the new Wembley is 89,874.

    Nothing mad there, but the game?

    Portsmouth v Cardiff.

    Now, given the reduced number of corporate tickets etc, if it was us v Pompey, we could surely set that between us?

    Be quite incredible for 2 League One clubs. I’m not disrespecting Rovers and Bury, but us v Pompey would be a proper event.
