FA Trophy 2015-16

[UpnDown]

I've not seen any mention anywhere of pubs being allocated to us for Sunday. Last week there was no allocation of pubs at all and fans of both teams were free to use whatever pub they wanted.

Someone put a link on our message board about your allocations. I'd much rather they not allocate certain pubs for certain fans to be honest. It ruins the atmosphere of the day imo

Not sure where that came from then as we've seen nothing here.

I don't want to argue with you, I'm simply saying that someone put it on our forum. If you don't believe me, please feel free to take a look

I had a look and all I can see is someone saying that "The Torch" has been allocated to us. There's no link at all and each time we've been at Wembley, The Torch is where most Mariners fans meet.

Ok, well someone put that it was on the football supporters federation website. Look, I haven't been bothered to go on and double check because to be quite honest, I couldn't give a fuck. I am going to go in a pub, if they say I cannot get served due to me being a Halifax Town fan, then I will simply vacate and find the next establishment that is willing to supply me with a sufficient amount of alcohol to allow me to endure the thrashing that we will most likely be getting later on that day.

Same here mate. It's only the minority of idiots that may spoil it for the vast majority.

Hopefully our players will have sobered up enough after the last few days to give you a decent game.

Have a great day anyway, whatever the result, I know that I will.

I'm sure it will be a great day for both. And to be honest, I aren't massively bothered about the result, I'm more happy that Halifax Town have finally got the chance to play at the national stadium. I hope you have a great day as well and if you see me in a gutter, please feel free to pick me up and take me to Paddington station to ensure I don't miss my train

Despite originally announcing you could leave in between games, Wembley have put on Twitter that you will not be allowed to leave tomorrow and re-enter which is a disgrace having sold tickets on the basis that you could.

Potentially a two hour gap in between games with sod all to do and completely extortionate prices for refreshments. I'm sure they won't let you take in your own food as well. Joke.

That is fucking outrageous. Really poor form.

Whenever we've been to Wembley it always seems like all pubs are allocated to us...

Wembley have now said there will be entertainment in the concourses and on the pitch.

what does that mean - jesters and jugglers, Paul Hurst puppet shows - John Fenty doing his rendition of the Omar Bogle song...?

 

[Limerick Mariner]

We have sold, erm, (cough, cough) 1300 tickets.......
We are MASSIVE lol!

Pretty big bandwagon of Johnny Come Latelys (including me) you can now put a 0 on that - I've only just bought mine and the bottom tier is sold out round to block 115 - similar to last week and last year so we must by at circa 13k.

Good lord please not again.

 

[pontoonlew]

Few fans are citing whether we should be playing a few fringe players tomorrow.

Personally I think it's a ridiculous notion, we should surely be going to win.

Yeah i put in an earlier post that should we win the P/O final then i expeted sales to shoot up, don't blame people but i won't be there, spent best part of £300 last week and that was travelling down on the Sunday morning.

 

[B2TF]

Made up for Grimsby that after that embarassing occasion last week they get to play a REAL football club with proper fans tomorrow who turn out for a Mickey Mouse final in a relegation season in 4 times the numbers that pretend football club could scrape together for the biggest gamer in its history. Enjoy the day, I might even tune in the TV for second half tomorrow.

Last week I took a rucksack into the ground with loads of food in it, enough to sustain me for an afternoon and beyond. If you check the Wembley website it says that you aren't allowed to take in bottles, cans or flasks. My solution was those little drinks pouches, which are apparently OK and didn't get confiscated when my bag was checked. The people I was with had bottles of water with them, the lady on the turnstile gave them a plastic beakers to put it into. The only thing I bought was a cup of tea, which at two quid didn't strike me as particularly extortionate, though I think it might have been a fiver for a hot-dog.

No, being now unemployed, Steve Burr is providing the entertainment.

Don't forget, "you can join in!"

I was at a hotel in Hertfordshire earlier, near St Albans, looking at it as a potential wedding venue. As part of the tour, I was shown a function room, in which Halifax Town FC were eating their breakfast. They all seemed quite relaxed and there is the outside possibility I saw Hamza Bencherif having some orange juice. I was quite surprised that a team shortly to be in the sixth tier had such a snazzy branded team coach.

I have zero insight to impart, but it has made me think about going to Wembley tomorrow to watch this. Apologies for my ignorance: can you just turn up and get a ticket?

You can. £25 for both games in Club Wembley.

Bear in mind our players might still be hungover so might not be a great spectacle!

We don't have a Vase thread do we? Anyway it finished 4-1 to Morpeth in today's first final.

 

[Super_horns]

Chris Swailes scored at the age of 45!

No we didn't, just listening to an interview with the scorer of one of the Morpeth goals, who is 45 years old.

We did have a Vase thread but it was rather quiet...http://onefootballforum.co.uk/index.php?threads/2015-16-fa-vase.6336/page-2

Fine to use this one though. Totally missed NL Finals Day. Was it a decent game? Surprised to see Hereford lose by such a margin.

 

[PaulHaddock]

YAWN

 

[pontoonlew]

What a terrible game, if that 45 mins is any indication then Monkhouse getting injured is the greatest event in the history in our football club.

1-0 Halifax

1-0 Halifax

Cracking defending from Tait there!!
