Pretty piss poor for Bradford fans, that. Perhaps we could let them have the victory instead of shelling out £50 for travel or whatever.

Sheffield United are League One's very own Derby County.

Just as I thought. We just don't sound up for it.

The Sky presenter said Coventry going through to the Mickey Mouse Cup semi finals is something to cheer about.

It is for everyone. They knocked out the last academy team.

It is something to cheer about. The people of Coventry need something.

If the semi final is at home I have little doubt there will be 30,000 there.
Even more at Wembley.

Sell outs.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

Sell outs.

Not too bothered. Not been to any of the games yet but I have never seen my club play at Wembley and neither have thousands of others. I won't miss what will be the last chance.
The idea of 30,000 at the Ricoh next month protesting against sisu is also massive.

The conference play off finals are at Wembley, you might get another chance.

I don't think Coventry would finish in the top 6 if we were in the Warwickshire leagues.

I'm looking forward to hurling my full and frothing pint glass at some marauding Gashead who comes charging through the beer garden fence just like the last time we played at the jewel of Bristol's sports stadia.

Doesnt this fixture just bring out the best in both sets of fans? I can imagine the early kickoff will help things somewhat though. Surprised Swindon haven't sold out the tickets yet, not loads left I believe but still.

As for the game, guaranteed late goal by Charlie Colkett for a Swindon win.

 

[GEORGE]

From what I've seen of Swindon lately I doubt they have enough fans in total to fill the away section

 

[Indian Dan]

Dwindling quick, for sure. You can only get the piss taken by Power for so long.

I've got a fairly high tolerance of the twat, but I'm getting sorely tested at the moment.

Under 200 left. Not sure what was allocated.

That's pretty poor for a game just down the road from Swindon. The away allocation is only about 1,250 at Rovers. How are the home ticket sales for your game against us going?

Think our allocation is around 1100

I'd imagine quite a few are waiting to see who, if anyone, comes in in the window. Loads are just plain pissed off about the way the club is heading and are turning their backs in protest.

Be under 10,000 I reckon.

 

[Agombar stool]

I'm going to Scotland and probably won't be bothering to keep in touch with the score, such is my apathy with our team at the moment.

I fully expect Rovers to be stronger, fitter and want the 3 points more.

3-1 gas

 

[Big Bird]

Oh great another derby for us to not show up for.

3:0.

 

[JJH]

I'm going in the Swindon end with a few mates tomorrow as Burnley away doesn't quite appeal.

1-0 Swin, 90th minute Colkett winner...

I was going on my horse but I fear for his safety.

I'm sure you will be welcomed by both sets of fans should you make yourselves known. I'll make a point of coming down to the away section to hello if you like?

it it true you've only sold 400 for Burnley?

Update: 1182 sold for our trip to Rovers

fair play, the crowd should be close to a sell out now then as was only a few hundred tickets on the east terrace and family enclosure of the home end.

You a bit overweight then ?

Swindons loss to Peterborough last week was their first reverse in their last 4 matches and they won their previous away game at high flying Bolton. One of only 2 sides to manage that all season.

They've clearly improved with the help of 5 or 6 new arrivals in January and I imagine will put up a much better fight than they might have a month ago.

I think our chances could hinge on whether Bodin is fit or not. He's been on fire in recent weeks and has looked like creating or scoring nearly every time he's had the ball. Unfortunately the injury he picked up last week didn't look short term to me so I'm expecting him to be missing.

If that's the case we're going to lack a bit of creativity and flair in midfield and might have to rely on our new look defence to keep it tight at the back if we're going to come away with the points. Without Bodin we'll do well to score more than one or two but we're averaging 2 goals against per game this season so that's not likely to be enough for the win.

Really tough one to call and being a bit of a derby only makes it more difficult to predict. Could go either way.
