Should've had the game wrapped up before HT. 2nd half a bit of a non event for us. Invited quote a bit of pressure in the last 20 mins. Lucky for us Sutton can't hit a barn door. After McNulty's talk of needing to rotate the squad to avoid fatigue we kept players out on the pitch clearly knackered in the heat. Rodney shouldve been hooked about 20 mins before he was. Barlow and Pritchard off injured will be a blow of either are our for a while. Pritchard in particular has been an immense signing. Who at Oldham let him go off on a free needs sacking.
Good support fair play. What were the fixture planners thinking when they put together today’s fixtures?! Some ridiculous journeys for a bank holiday.
Between that and making teams play 3 times in 5 days, there has been a lack of intelligence from the fixture schedulers this season
Agree. They could've played the Tuesday night games the week before. I really don't get why the season didn't start a week earlier though and to finish before April is done seems silly. Stretch it out a bit and then you need fewer midweek games to squeeze in
I would have switched the league and NL cup midweek dates around, with all NL cup games on the Tuesday before the bank holiday. Most sides would rotate in that anyway so the congestion is less of an issue
It's been ****ing dreadful. All local games midweek, giving clubs the same fixtures at start and end of season as last year, dodgy planning around Saturday Tuesday logistics. Total rubbish.
Looking like away fans have been put back into the large east stand block from the next match onwards cannot be due to away numbers because I doubt Truro bringing many may be down to schools starting because the block given last few games is usually used for the freebie school tickets
Solihull don't look like they are giving the away terrace behind the goal to away fans this year, just a couple of blocks down the side and seats in the open too, hence looking like we will sell out, just on the lack of tickets given. Waiting to see if more are forthcoming, but some have rung their ticket office and been told "no."
They will open more blocks in the terrace if required, did it for our last game of season as we had the whole terrace and the block of seats.
We are waiting on that, but apparently not has been the response to several people calling them trying to get tickets for Saturday. "Just seen on the BOT [Blues On Tour] WhatsApp group that we've sold around 700. We asked for another 300 and were refused by their Chairman. They've sold around 300 terrace tickets. Apparently their fans are boycotting due to wanting the manager gone."
They did same to us but our club leant on them a bit more, took 900+ in the end. Silly little club Solihull, only had about 500 home fans for that game.
Spot on Dave. They have sold 400 so far from their ticketing site. I believe we are and have asked for more, but they are refusing. I think there is a fan boycott their end against their start and Taylor. Plus the fact it's a featured game on DAZN and they don't want to be embarrassed any more than usual, under the circumstances and the big following we will take, so their chairman is digging heals in.
