Matchday Thread: Sheffield United v Port Vale

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

I'd play both personally. I'd like to see

Grant with amoros again but Tavares in instead of foley who I thinks struggled last few weeks. Hopefully Thomas is fit as well.

 

Logic in that, certainly Thomas who would have made a big difference on Sunday as he gets us up the pitch quickly.

[Conrad]

Say what? £26?

 

That's one of the easiest decisions I'll have to make for away games this season.

 

Swindon was £25 three years ago.

[Tomo]

If Bolton really is £26 that's disgraceful and shows why football outside the premiership is dying. People cannot afford a near £100 day out, once you take transport, food, programme, and match entry and maybe a pint or two into account. In 20 years they will look back and ask why we didn't save our smaller clubs when we had the chance, and a lot of it will be due to ridiculous admission prices.

 

That's only for cat B too Bea, if we were A it'd be £30.

The power lies firmly with the fans on this issue.

 

Stay away and see how long they last charging 26.00

In theory it does, but realistically it doesn't, as you & I both know probably at least 75% of fans will pay regardless, as they can't resist going, especially if their team is doing well at the time too.

When I watched my local team Las Palmas play Real Madrid the ticket cost 156 euros and season ticket holders had to pay an extra 50 euros to see the game!

[Andy Proctor]

Apparently we have only sold 300 tickets so they should make it pay on the day. Id imagine people are sick of going there every season to watch us lose there.

think most have chosen the Bolton game instead, new ground and all that

Crazy really considering Bury is actually further away than Sheffield, & the amount we took there. But yeah I agree, probably down to the fact we've lost 7 out of the last 10 against them, mostly being away.

 

Edit: & that^, I'm going to SU alone but for Bolton there will be 4 or 5 of us, as the rest have chosen that one because of financial reasons, & it's a new one for a lot of them.

Im not going shefield either but are going bolton and charlton away as there new grounds for me and i think we have more chance of winning at them grounds given our past record at brammel lane. I only know we have sold 300 for sheffield as someone posted it on the wonder of port vale site on facebook.

Pereira must have put himself in contention for Saturday! Hat trick as reserves win 3-2.

[colin]

I'd go with

Alnwick

Purkiss

Streete

Smith

Knops

 

Amoros

Grant

Pereira

 

Thomas/hart

Paterson

Jones

No Foley?

No Foley?

 

Just a personal opinion-I think some of his recent performances haven't been as convincing as those of last year and against mk I'm not sure he worked in the number 10 role so I'd give pereira a go especially after his hatrick in the reserves.

[Santa]

Given the reputation of a few of our idiots especially at this ground it's understandable.

It's not exactly a foolproof way to discourage trouble though, and it's a massive PITA for anyone who can't just pop into the ticket office.
