Love a Sunday game and still love the FA Cup - my daughter lives in Oxford so I will stay for a few beers in town afterwards. I think the 9:15 train from TM will be pretty busy! Taking advantage of this to go to Kings Lynn v Walsall on Saturday. Harrogate completed the 92 last weekend and KL will leave just me just 4 in the National League top tier to visit. Anyone here got Yate tickets or going elsewhere tomorrow? Rod Rodders what the best ground you have been to and the worst. Please leave out the Mem ha ha.

The eternal question... and difficult to answer! Depends what 'best' means! Best atmospheres - the two Sheffield grounds on big match days, Turf Moor on a rainy evening under the lights, Villa Park and, of course, Anfield on a European night. Best of the newer grounds - Brighton, a brilliant design fitting into the curve of the South Downs. Real Ale in the stadium as well! Tottenham have a marvellous stadium now but need the team to go with it - maybe Conte can help! MK Dons stadium is really comfortable and plenty of leg room - glad to see it in use for the Womens Euro 2022 (and Brighton). Worst - In no particular order. Accrington Stanley, Barrow, Oldham, Altrincham, Dag & Redbridge and Dover all leave a bit to be desired in the top 5 tiers. I can't stand Elland Road either. Have only ever attended as an away fan and have always had awful cramped seats and hassle before and after games. Outside of England: Celtic Park, Parc des Princes, San Siro and the Luznikhi Stadium in Moscow are all great. (Never been to the big Spanish grounds).

I see Junior Brown is out for about 10 weeks, Brett Pitman injured his groin and out for a couple of weeks (or possibly longer) and Trevor Clarke has picked up an injury too and will be out of action for about 2 weeks after serving his suspension, according to the managers pre match presser.

It is crazy how many injuries we've had this season. I don't remember anything like it for years. Particularly not for such a long period of time, all the way from pre-season through to the winter. It does make you wonder whether the training methods are partly to blame, or whether it is just bad luck?

Go through someone's back garden to get to the away end and then get cuts on your shins as the seats have been designed for an average height of 5ft nothing.

Blimey Rodders, that is one hell of a travel C.V! compared to you I've hardly got out the back gate!

Trevor Clarke is proving to be a bit of a disaster so far. Debut -> injured -> fit -> punched someone -> suspended -> injured

There is something unique about the Luton away end though - every fan should experience it.

Anybody else think with Luke Thomas that Barnsley might not want him cup tied

I remember at Alfreton away walking through a hedge …or was that just me taking a wrong turn? Been to Oxford before, but tomorrow will be first time for me driving with a child in tow (not literally), From memory there’s not a lot to do around there and probably less on a Sunday?

I remember Wisbech away in the cup, we seemed to walk across a field to get to the ground. Also remember that their fans were incredibly racist. Hope your lad enjoys the trip tomorrow!

With regards to this weekend’s matches I just wanted to congratulate 10 man Coventry City for their fantastic performance! 😉
