Unfortunately, there's no pot of gold at the end of this one Joey, unless you count the money you get when you go? Attachment Deleted

I will be making a quick cyber jump to Germany to watch tonight's 2nd away win Why Germany its on ifollow in UK , as are all games apart from Saturday 3pms (except International breaks) Because the only away results we've got this season have been when Henbury & myself have watched it from Germany! Doh!!!

Not gonna watch on ifollow? I will be making a quick cyber jump to Germany to watch tonight's 2nd away win 1st post for me this season Henbury and I will be doing the same as you, hoping to emulate your cyber jump by travelling to to Stuttgart for the second successive game. Think he'll start with the same team that finished on Saturday (Three at the back with Anderson as a wingback?), maybe with Harries for Anderton. Thomas and Nicholson have proved their match fitness now so should both be in the line-up to start. Happy with a draw for this one, but hoping for a 2-1 win.

OK, so fewer rovers fans at barrow, that helps them out? And in return fixtures fewer travelling fans at the mem.... It might not be technically illegal but its an allowed loophole designed by a faceless organisation who care about only one thing.... Cash.... Not about the vpn thingy but... I have not attended games for many years for various reasons. Previously i had always been a season ticket holder. So for many years the club had got zero cash from me. Zilch ,nothing,diddly squat. Last season , even though a terrible season i watched all the games on ifollow paying match by match. I paid out about £500. So most likely the most funds the club had ever got from me in one season. Many people do not like tv football so wouldnt watch anyway. Others might who wouldnt actually go to a game. Getting the right blend will be an important thing going forward for the EFL. I do think the overseas season ticket on ifollow might be too cheap though. It should at least be equal to an average priced seated season ticket at the ground. (In my opinion) I think the iFollow overseas for an individual match costs around the same as you pay in the UK to watch an iFollow match for a midweek game?

Its illegal to use VPN's to watch ifollow in the UK.... Kill the sport and the team you all love why don't you.... If you use a VPN I think you still have to pay to watch, and the money still goes to the club, only it's in Euros/Dollars/Roubles, or whatever country/currency the VPN is in, so if it enables more fans to watch if they can't actually travel and still contribute to the clubs coffers, what's so wrong? iFollow have missed a trick by preventing UK fans from watching on a Saturday, especially with the reluctance of some fans to attend because of Covid. OK some will watch at home with their mates reducing the income, but they are probably the ones who wouldn't go anyway?

Was thinking about starting my first of the season (Not having to be up at 12:01 a.m. to beat GGMI!), but YG beat me to it. I therefore bow to YG's greater stamina (and the fact that only this week I got out of hospital and am still seriously knackered) and am going to predict a will we/won't we 1-1 draw. Of course, we only have Harvey up front, but I hope he'll put up two fingers to the Mansfield defence and get his first Gas goal! Suspect Joey will go with four at the back and hope LT will be as good as he has looked recently in the midfield, or alongside HS. UTG

Sent a message to Tom Gorringe on Tuesday asking about this after Ticketmaster said they were "waiting for the club". He said "Ticketmaster are setting this up at present and refunds will be processed very shortly". In other words 'You can wait for a while until we decide when to let you have your money back and then wait another five days until we put it back on your card'. They should have been able to offer near immediate refunds since it was obviously a cancellation not a postponement. I was always concerned when ticketing was outsourced to ticketmaster. I’m not at all confident that they will send me my season ticket before the season starts. That was the point that I made to Tom, but it seems that it is a case of left hand and right hand and if they each say they are waiting for each other, they can manage to keep our money for as long as possible!! I also made a comment about it being symptomatic of the way the club is going and that they were losing the faith of the fans, but there was no reaction to that.

Pleeez keep up your home winning run Gassy! I'm afraid that head says the best we'll get is a draw, 1-1 today, but at least today, heart and hope are in agreement for another 2-1 win. Think he might start with Daly, Hanlan and Ayunga up front, but would rather it was just Hanlan & Daly, because they play better as a 2 up front and hope they can rekindle the spark they had earlier in the season before they got injured? Doesn't matter how he lines up the defence, because we'll still concede despite Anssi! As for midfield, it's just a question of who he plays alongside McCormick and how that player performs as to whether heart/hope are successful? UTG

Well boys, girls, those who haven't decided and Bolders, I think everyone's right and this is do, or die, day! Unfortunately, we haven't won on the road since 5th December and my head says that we still won't by 5:00 today. Best the head expects is a 1-1 draw. However, heart says we'll scrape a 2-1 win and move above Northampton and hope says that all around us will lose again so they have to 'use up' their game advantage on us to catch up. I'll have everything crossed and be taking pain relieving liquids most of the match! UTG

Never made a match day thread - might as well get it out the way now with a home loss so I'll never have to make one again Going to watch this tomorrow, I've refused to watch us since the Plymouth game and if I'm honest I've enjoyed my Tuesday evenings and weekends a lot more. Now I've recovered and I'm ready to have my Easter weekend ruined again. Come on you blues! Nothing but a win will be acceptable You're a brave man Gassy, or foolish, but I favour the former. I can see nothing other than a 2-0 defeat today!! In face this is the first time head, heart and hope have been in agreement all season!! I've almost had enough of these players and the hope they gave me earlier this season, but I can't seem to drag myself away. I'm just thinking that next season in league 2 will be better?

GGMI starting a MDT on a Friday? :standard: Well it was only around 7:00 and the match is at 3:00? My wife said "let's go out for a walk today" and I couldn't find a decent reason not to! Just hoping it's to a place with no phone signal? First match I'll miss since September, but both head and heart can't see anything other than a 2-0, or 3-0, loss! However, hope also gets a say in this one and thinks we might sneak a 0-0, or 1-1, draw, but, as they say, it's the hope that kills you! UTG.

Bit late for me today! Unfortunately this is a real 'head says' disaster and another loss at home with the best we will get a 1-1 draw, although the 'heart says' we will beat them 3-1. However, Swindon have only conceded more than 2 once since January, so I think heart is going to be disappointed again. Would love to see Daly and Ayunga start 'up top', but suspect JB will stay with Hanlon and Ayunga. The midfield will probably stay the same, unless Grant is available in place of Upson, with a back three of Williams, Kilgour and Baldwin and Leahy at LWB with Hare at RWB. Let's hope for the best with prayer mats out at 6:55!! UTG. I somehow knew my head would be right........again!!

Please Boris, release the lockdown, so I can go away on holiday and don't have to watch any more of this torture!! I remember the Penney/Campbell relegation season debacle and this season reminds me of that one!

We must have the wettest centre backs in league 2. Once again bottling it and turning their backs! Sorted that for you!
