3 threads on one game now

[Andy Proctor]

we will probably take about 250 as our away followings have dropped off alot of late just 164 to southend, 187 to rotherham and 181 to bradford.

[SuperValiant1876]

What about all those seo who pledged to go to away games instead of home?

 

Went northampton the Other season when we drew 0-0 and there player was sent off for trying to ruin griff's career. We really should be beating these this season.

How much youth ?

 

£16 open return. Leave Stoke at 9:54 (Trains leave roughly every hour prior or after this time) gets you into Northampton at 11:40. Return train 17:45 or every hour after that

[Robbie Earle's Perm]

Bradford did a similar thing against Stockport in League Two.

 

They massively reduced prices for home supporters, but kept it full price for Stockport fans.

 

That saw a large number of Stockport fans in the home ends and a 15,000+ attendance.

 

I will probably do that then, you get a better class of people from Northampton anyway! :D

That's the one we plan on getting, what's the pub situation like there? Been years since I've been.

The Old Black Lion near the station (come out and turn left) is pretty reasonable. Think that's where I will be.

[sandyford_valiant]

There's a few pubs on the road where the rugby ground is, only about ten minute walk to the ground.

 

Then you have a big pub across from the ground which shows football and does food, a ten pin bowling place also with a bar.

 

Can't decide if go or not?..

[Goal Drought]

Is that per person thinking of taking the lad 32 quid a bit steep though so is it cheaper for a ten year old ?

 

Should cost £24 for a return ticket with a child.

The other season there were chants of "we paid six qiud for this, we paid six quid for this" as the only one turnstile that was open the guy was charging most for kids ha, don't think he liked his job!

Yes you are correct.

 

We paid 4 pound, the old bloke on the turnstile was a bit scared when twenty lads turned up at 3:10pm. I said how much mate and he replied give me 4 quid mate!!

 

Then we went sit on the side.

 

Hope it's that price again

I remember the group that went around the side, we were chanting "who are ya, who are ya" more entertaining than the game that day!
