Have just looked at footballgroundguide.com and it appears that if Posh are expecting a small visiting support, they close the terrace and only have the away fans in the end block of the stand. Hopefully, despite our generally low away support this season they'll think that we might bring a few with it being the last away game but we'll have to wait and see when the tickets are on sale.
I heard a rumour that Posh had closed the old standing terrace and were tearing it down...so evem less tickets available
This is taken from the football ground guide website about Posh: "Future Ground Developments - The Club have announced that they are to re-develop the Moyes End of the ground (away terrace). The existing covered terrace will be demolished to make way for a new 2,500 all seated stand. Planning permission has been granted and it was hoped that work would have started before the end of 2011, but this has been delayed. It is hoped that the works will now commence sometime in 2012." They're at home to Leicester a week tomorrow and there are standing tickets available for the LC fans for that match - I just wonder whether the low amount of fans we generally take to away grounds may count against us.
I hope we are! I will be there with any luck. Evening all. What a day its been. Uni till 12 which was all a laugh as its the last day before 3 weeks of holidays. Then i met up with my friend and we went to do some shopping with my birthday money. That took till 2:30 which meant i had to rush home for football. I then got to ref a full 11 a side match which was great fun. Watching them all fall over as they get tackled and all claim they have been hurt is just so funny!! They dont do it for the head teacher, but they clearly think they can get away with it with me. But they soon found out they cant. I then had to take my sister 20miles to her martial arts class.
I was wondering why our club is not that well supported when we go on the road compared to some other teams. Can it be something to do with the social mix of people who support clubs? From observation there are a large number of young guys who turn up at the Vic when we are playing teams like Leeds or West Ham. Also from reading pre-match comments on here, they do seem to have a high proportion of people with not to many other things but football in their lives. Going to the Vic shows that we do really have the family at the heart of our fans. Children taken by their parents, in fact just about every age must be represented. I don't really know if this has something to do with it or not, but it could also have some bearing on the noise levels at out ground.
OFH - It would take Einstein mixed with Newton and add IKB to understand Watford fans - on the road we see a mix of "anoraks", families and a few lads. I think it is because we are a "small town" team with a fairly recent history of playing in the upper echelons..so for many the tradition of away days is not engrained
I am sure this is obvious but who is IKB? We do not have the large numbers of fans but only the clubs from ReykjavÃk travel and that is only really local.
And the prize goes to Jersey....AK, you need Ryan Air to start a regular flight from Rek International into ****own International... i could pick you up and show you some sights in Bandit Country before our onward journey to The Vic - of course, I should not be of a nervous disposition...
Good plan! Got my Brighton tickets already, very reasonable at £24 i must say! I don't remember any available seating 2 seasons ago, i'm sure it was all standing at one end..though i could be wrong... Hmmpfh! Busy one for me too, taking the service in the morning, heading to the Vic, and then round to friends for a good nosh up in the evening
These are from sports relief. They certainly made me chuckle. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/17493636 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/17493632 And poor Motty. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/16039736
I love the show, in fact i see a little bit of myself in the kids on it. I tend not to watch them. They all seem very fake. I think i will call it a night. I have to be up at 8 tomorrow to drive to get my car serviced at a family friends garage the other side of Rickmansworth at 10, then get some lunch, then get to the game. However dont anyone think that it will shut me up for a second at the match!!! Night night all. COYH!!
lol night night Dan, look forward to hearing you tomorrow i have my big moment in the morning first, so early start for me too, so i'm right behind you Sweet dreams
This was as brilliant as it was jaw dropping. I say jaw dropping because while for all I know some of the stereotypes in that song might have an element of truth in them, it literally is the equivalent of playing this for a Canadian medal, this for a German one, this after a fiercely contested medal between India and Pakistan, and so on.
