Yes fair point - but also adding to the point about the climate for football in this country - it is utterly ludicrous that people can stand at the biggest of European games for about fifteen quid but not at Blundell Park.


Yeah, I saw that and wondered why Town cannot have standing if they can have standing in the elite European competitions, Uefa laws for one club and different for others. It should be the same for all clubs regardless of the European Leagues they play in.

It’s nothing to do with UEFA. It is because we triggered the domestic all seater requirement because of no.of years at Tier 2 and the legislation doesn’t permit going back to terrace standing in any part of the ground.

That being the case it's about time something was sorted out relevant to the League a club is playing in. The type of terraces shown seem to be far better than the old type of terracing we had in the past. I also saw several pints of lager being drunk while watching the game from the terraces.

Not seen much about the game from the club and with trains being cancelled I can't see alot going sadly although I do have a +5 potentially rising to 14. I'm also still waiting for my tickets to arrive, I bought them at the weekend.

It's £25 including the booking fee to sit in the upper, is £2 more that big of a deal? Away days are an expensive job but the few quid difference in ticket prices are not the biggest barrier to most of us it's the over priced trains, buses or fuel to get there, food, drink etc that make it over £100 day out for most which with current cost of living makes it prohibitive to most people supporting a family.

Ainley out for months, not a great start to his time at town. Maher's still out for this weekend too and Conteh's suspended for five bookings, but Danny Rose should be back in the squad.

Indeed, Maher and Conteh out and up against the division’s top scorers (24 in 8 games ffs) AND the division’s top scorer (9 in 8 ffs) on the back of two defeats punctuated by two poor defensive performances isn’t really the scenario you’d want under the circumstances. Oh, and against the team that handed us our biggest league defeat of last season too, if you want to add that into the mix.

The only thing I’ve got is that “football’s a funny old game”,  and sometimes the blindingly obvious outcome doesn’t materialise, but based on nothing more than cold, hard logic, I’m not expecting this one to end well.


A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.
