Used the earlier service in the early days, and it wasn't full until later in the journey. Did provide for a relaxed pint beforehand, but shite ale at inflated prices wore off!

August 3, 20233 yr No, it can only be 7 for the day. Dad and a kid 14 is bad enough, but dad and kid 28 would really kill it. It stops me from going to cup matches. 5 for my ticket then 7 to get there ? No chance. I order my match ticket and watch the match on the pub iFollow (or similar).

Which is 3 quid less than Newport are charging pensioners against Charlton. God help us if FV jacked in and the ticket prices shot up.

They've already said they won't be running for cup games and they will decide on a game by game basis if they will be on once they have checked demand.

I’m sure Sharon’s on the case, but last season I had a ticket for every home Pizza cup match and I went to only one.

August 4, 20233 yr No. 5 goes down Green Lane to Bradford Rd. Walk down Bishops Road. It’s as close as a match bus goes I think.
August 4, 20233 yr Author Going off my original team prediction on the first post, I’m still sticking with it, although I think it could be Forrester for Iredale. I find the bench options intriguing. I’ve got a feeling he’ll go without a keeper again. Explaining to Coleman that’s his usual approach will allow him to have 7 outfield options. Ashworth, Forrrster (Iredale), Maghoma, Thomason, CMG, Nlundulu, Jerome. 2 defenders, 2 Midfielders, 3 attacking options. While JDB and Toal have just come back, they could be left out Saturday, but will be very much back in the mix for next games.
August 4, 20233 yr Baxter Dacres-Cogley Jones Santos Iredale Williams Morely Sheehan Dempsey Charles Adeboyejo Only places I reckon there's potential for change is Big Vic and Iredale depending on fitness. Looking forward to finally getting underway tomorrow, let's hope for a positive start.

Personally, I'd like to see Coleman on the bench regardless. I understand both sides of the argument, but the alternative is no longer Joel Dixon, and we're only allowed 5 changes from the bench of 7 anyway.
August 4, 20233 yr I'll go 3-1 to the trotters. Charles 2 and dempsey Cant decide whether it's a drab 1st half and the moaners are coming out by half time or we start like champions and go 2 nowt within 15 minutes.
