You have no understanding of our ways support , I’d be surprised to see less than 5000 town fans there for a midweek game


To see Town vs Chelsea's reserves though?

If it is chosen for TV cannot see 5k myself. Would be magnificent but unlikely. Did we even take 5k to Arsenal in 2001?

Hope we win the re-arranged fixture as James Hanson had a good day there when Bradford won 4-2 in the FA Cup.
Long way on a wednesday night but should be a big pay day. If we lose to Macclesfield, bet Chelsea give them the gate receipts given their plight, after what happened with Bury.  Lets bombard Chelsea suggesting they do it for that match anyway.
Then if we get through - happy days!


Pretty sure they would not be allowed to give them the gate receipts as it would be against the rules and potentially give them an unfair advantage against others teams.

Quoted from Mariner55
I was there when we beat Chelsea 3-2 at Stamford Bridge in 1983.  Somehow we ended up surrounded by Chelsea fans who were quite patronising at first (I think they went 2-0 up) then the mood gradually changed as we came back into the game and it was positively hostile at the end - which of course made the experience all the more enjoyable.  I think Paul Emson scored the winner?

I've been to Stamford Bridge recently and without doubt it's the most unpleasant atmosphere at any of the 50+ grounds I've been too.  I recall a linesman getting abuse because he gave a 50/50 throw-in against Chelsea in the first 5'.

There's now a good case to play our best XL v Macclesfield.  Also looks like Matt Proctor may play in this game, talk about it being a shop window ...



Emson scored the equaliser. Tony Ford got the winner a few minutes later. Joe Waters got our first.

Chelsea did this for somebody else a few years back. Can't remember who it was, but it gave me more respect for Abramovic.

Thanks for that. Was their myself but could not remember how many we took. Guardian calling Arsenal a reserve team when Edu, Wiltord, Keown and Bergkamp started! haha Some reserves they were.

We were crippled with injuries too to make a real fist of it. Shame.

I remember being surprised at how pokey and cramped in the old ground was, my knees killed pressed against the seats in front.

No problem.. Yeah, I was there too. We were housed in the Clock End. It used to be split with a cage fence part way across if I remember correctly - but we had all that end.. Only the odd seat unsold.

Yes... some Arsenal reserve team, that! 🙄

I seem to remember that 90% of their starting line-up were all full internationals. They scored an early goal and we never really got going.
