Totally agree, Soup. I've only ever been to Victoria Park once (when we drew 1-1 back in 2018 and we plummeted down to NLS) but the home fans on the day were excellent. Maybe they were all just feeling sorry for us poor souls who had made the (very) long trip knowing that it really was a...
It shouldn't be that difficult to find out who they are... the delivery address will be a big giveaway (I doubt if any of them wanted to do 750ish mile round trip to pick them up).
We do have quite a few northern based fans though and I just hope they're not penalised because of these bellends.
What pisses me off about this is that it could lead to trouble in the ground (no, I'm not saying Pools fans are like that, far from it, but it's going to be a very 'tense' day for both sets)... not only that, those fans from the 'Bay who couldn't get tickets yesterday have missed out because of...
I was fortunate enough to have 5 other people either logging onto the website or joining the phone queue. I got there first (more by luck than anything else by the sounds of it).
I know we're a small(ish) club and this kind of event doesn't come around very often, but f**k me, reading comments...
Cut off numerous times whilst trying to phone and being put in a queue.... managed to secure 2 via that interweb malarky thing.
Website crashed numerous times.
Good luck to those still waiting.
pmsl... yep, I saw a table full of the stupid things and I actually thought it would end up being commented about on here.
Pity the poor sods who had to tidy up afterwards as I don't think one of them lasted the full match. My son, bless him, who is old enough to know better, actually kept his...
IF we don't make it on Sunday, I expect our chances of being in a similar position next season to be very slim. I'm sure Lemonheigh-Evans (PoTS) will be off to pastures new (and higher) and we know that Randell (YPoTS) is going back to his home club (Argyle). However, the fact hat Gary Johnson...
So, it's down to two... Us and Hartlepool.
What I don't get though is all this 'moaning' about the travelling distance to Bristol and that it somehow favours us. It's still approx 100 miles to Bristol from the 'Bay so hardly 'local' and the fact that Gary Johnson has 'connections' at Ashton...
After watching Notts beat Chesterfield, I'm a bit concerned about Saturday if we don't have our full-strength side out. Danny Wright and Ben Whitfield would've made a huge difference to the season run-in. As it was we drew our last four games but now unbeaten in 13,
As mentioned previously...
My middle sis did almost the opposite to your niece... born in Torquay and now lives in Broughton-in-Furness and married to a Brummie (which has got to be the most annoying accent on the planet).... Kipper Tie anyone? Milk and sugar?
The reason for the lack of ooo-ar voices is because the bleddy Westcountry has been over-run with all you northern types with your flatcaps and whippets
...and, yes, Lands End IS crap
Next time you're in the Westcountry, avoid Kernow and head for the beautiful scenic Dartmoor
Edited to add...
Youm's correct BlackHaddock.... us Deb'n people do indeed refer to all non-Devonians as 'Grockles' and those across the water in the (not so mighty) Kingdom of Kernow affectionately refer to invaders from across the Tamar as Emmets...
....and for those who can't be arsed to google it...
