    Will we give Walsall the whole lot?

    I'd be surprised if they can shift 6000. Is it an impossibility to split that stand anymore? I know when it was built that was the intention to have it half and half, but over the years the need to do so has become less frequent.

    Be a shame to have circa 3k seats empty when we could fill the ground for the first time in years.

    Do you think we'll be able to fill it? I think the other half of the west stand should be enough.

    No need for many extra police.

    It's because our fans have a reputation and SYP use that as an excuse to fleece the club

    Hardly a reputation compared to our illustrious Sheffield neighbours.

    There's been a few pissed up kids acting **** and a few scuffles but the way it's been rolled out the club it's like we smash up everything in sight. Who've swallowed it. Hook line and sinker.

    I don't think it helps when pubs open early and then transfer their problems to the bus operator. Who with a grain of common sense needs to drink beer at 9 in the morning?

    Depends on the price. 15 quid for adults? Should be a good crowd then. Can't see it being more than twenty.

    That's the point though isn't it? Those who feel the need to drink so early in the morning have no common sense. Either that or they are alcoholics but pretend they are not

    I cracked a tinny on the 0820 as it left Piccadilly for London on JPT day. Felt rude not to. I deem myself to have a fair bit of common sense and I'm definitely not an alcoholic.

    Wouldn't say I'm an alcoholic but my head feels like a pig shat in it this morning.

    Same here, I was celebrating till 2am last night.

    My mouth tastes like Ann Widdecombe and Fatima Whitbread put up a campsite on my tongue and had Lesbian Sex on it.

    As much as I'd like us to, I can't see us selling enough tickets to justify it. Unless we knock the prices down, a lot of people will just opt to watch it on Sky. Probably be about 16 - 17,000 there if Walsall bring a decent following.
