Actual gate

[CANARYKING 707]

No doubt they’ll give it out as near 27,000 but with no trains, freezing cold, A11 shut later, on tv, strictly final plus another boring Smith-ball snore feast I’m not sure if I can be bothered , how many others ?

[dylanisabaddog 6,131]

I have a season ticket but watching at home. Stupid kick off time, freezing cold and Dean Smith 

[Branston Pickle 4,145]

I drove up last night, took well over 4 hours. I won’t give my opinion on those who live locally and can’t be bothered - but the idea they’ll still call themselves ‘supporters’ is, to me, interesting.

Imagine coming online just to post a new thread about how miserable everything is. Christ.

[Capt. Pants 5,005]

Next time if you could contact the club and ask them to arrange a ko time that suits your personal requirements. I’m sure they will offer you a personal chauffeur and your own special centrally heated seat. Bet you’ll still moan though!

Terribly sorry!  I have obviously misunderstood the purpose of this forum

What is stupid about the kick off time though?

Bet there are loads of people who quite like the idea of sitting in a warm pub to watch the World cup 3rd place game and then walking down to the ground.

Granted not going to judge anybody on the cold aspect as that could be individual circumstances, e.g. not a great idea to be out in this weather if you are 75 and have a chesty cough or something, but fail to see what's so horrendous about the kick off time.

I'll give my opinion, they're sh*t supporters 😀

[nutty nigel 7,902]

Not been a game for over a month. Can't wait!

Bit ironic if Sky subscribers are complaining about the kick off times. No doubt their Skylights will be on too.

If its just a case of can't be bothered and being a complete Karen like dylanisabaddog even though you have a valid ticket then sure.

But not a great idea to go out in this weather if you're old or vulnerable and have a bad cold or chest infection, which will be a lot of people at the minute, or have bad asthma or something, personally wouldn't want to be a 75 year old in hospital with pneumonia 3 days before nurses strike again or coming down ill 4 days before an ambulance driver strike.

Keep your grandads indoors!

Season ticket holder for 20 years but yes I'm a **** supporter 😂 I am so against Dean Smith that I'm considering not going until he is sacked.

Yeah, only referring to the "can't be bothered" brigade.

In that case I suspect you might be waiting for sometime!!

[Mello Yello 2,571]

Well I'll beer there at Cold Blowing Carra....and at full-time it means I can be in the City and in the pub in around 17 minutes.....I'd also like to beer celebrating a convincing victory.....but 'que sera sera' what will beer, will beer....

It's Christmas and after over the past 2 plus years of sh!tty restrictions I'm now starting to have some fun.....again....

If tonight's attendance is disappointing, well then, there's a multitude of ready made excuses to as why....

....and to the "usual's"....non will actually be because the football's carp....

 

[nutty nigel 7,902]

This beats thermals and Bovril but would it be enough to tempt the 'fair weather fannies'?

[Pyro Pete 2,353]

It's going to be freezing cold, Smith's football will probably be crap and I'll have to wait until 8 o'clock for my tea.

But f**k it, anything is better than being stuck at home being forced to watch the bloody Strictly final.

[The Real Buh 3,765]

Lot of closet Smith fans on here 😂

I loved the bit where Branston said “I won’t give my opinion” SHOCKER😂

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty rubbish supporter to be fair.

Lots of armchair closet Strickly fans starting to emerge.
