    What do you think the attendance will be?

    Can't see it being anywhere near the Oxford game. With Morecambe only getting about 1500 at home yesterday can't see them bringing more than 100 down, it is a long way and they will probably want to save their money for the Newcastle game! Depends on how positive our fans are feeling but i reckon the attendance will be between 12,000-13,000.

    I watched your last game at Accrington on the box and thought you were a bit unlucky, if you can get 30+ games out of Connolly then you have a good chance of at least a play-off position. Morecombe are not that great and only managed a home draw against my second team, Torquay, last week. I reckon you'll win this 2-1 with Connolly and Agyemang scoring.

    Wahey Little Ern! (Slaps both cheeks)

    Eric 'She was a lovely girl. I was going to marry her and live in the country, and maybe have a couple of kids'.

    Ernie 'Why didn't you?'

    Eric 'She didn't like me'.

    With a few "on the door" sales on Saturday there could be 13,000 at the Park - a good turnout.

    Just looked at their twitter, they reckon that more than 100 are coming down. Apparently pre-booking tickets is still a novelty in League 2!

    I officially hate the north stand upper.

    And yeah there must be about 50 Morecambe fans atm

    Why is the pre-match music always so quiet?

    Morecambe brought 113 fans - and a drum - with them.

    Got a warm round of applause for their singing.
