Piggies Mega Match Day Thread

Nat Exp have still got return tickets from Wakefield to London on 29th May £29 return

 

You understand the logic though? Nobody wants the risk of losing to them. That said, I'm sure it will change tonight when Oakwell is packed out.

 

Or for a bit more cash, train Donny to London £59 return using 0935 from Donny and 1848 from London. Hope this helps!

 

Over confidence?

 

One good outcome from last night's result.....well for me anyway.....my train to London goes through Peterborough, there's now loads of seats available £34 return.

 

But there were 2 games to finance that year. Most people I know didn't attend both

 

I’m sure they will be but by the same token they will want to get us back so to speak also. To beat them twice in a season is remarkable never mind three times.

 

I think if we'd been playing Peterborough we'd have been looking at 25k maximum. But the fact that it's against Wednesday will add a good few thousand on. If we get there, it's a South Yorkshire derby at Wembley - proper once in a lifetime stuff. People will find the money for something like that.

 

Im not so sure but sincerely hope you’re right, IF we get there

 

Fanny ..

 

Not really, they’re definitely going and therefore will be in the final with a ticket allocation whether we get there or not

 

Law of averages didn't effect Swansea the other year; can't remember re Ipswich even further back.

 

The last time we were there twice in about 6 weeks, first one in a lower league cup competition.

We would be playing Sheffield Wednesday at Wembley. As a Barnsley fan it doesn’t come much bigger than that. We’ll sell over 30k and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if we sold out 35k.

 

And it’s against Wednesday not millwall. More interest?

 

My god you are one constantly negative individual aren't you?

 

There is no "law of averages" in this sense. If you flip a coin 5 times and it comes up heads each time it isn't any more likely to come up tails on the 6th flip.

 

There may be no law of averages, but there is Sod’s Law

 

spot on MR

The law of averages is the commonly held belief that a particular outcome or event will, over certain periods of time, occur at a frequency that is similar to its probability.[1][2] Depending on context or application it can be considered a valid common-sense observation or a misunderstanding of probability. This notion can lead to the gambler's fallacy when one becomes convinced that a particular outcome must come soon simply because it has not occurred recently (e.g. believing that because three consecutive coin flips yielded heads, the next coin flip must be virtually guaranteed to be tails).

As invoked in everyday life, the "law" usually reflects wishful thinking or a poor understanding of statistics rather than any mathematical principle
