Last chance for Sheff United tickets

Last chance for Sheff United tickets
Monday, 9th Apr 2012 09:58 by Col

Monday is the last opportunity for people to get tickets for Tuesday night's clash with Sheffield United.

The ticket office will be open at Spotland until 5pm for supporters to get their hands on tickets for the game with Sheffield United. With United chasing promotion, they have sold out all of their tickets for the Willbutts Lane stand.

The game could be the game that seals Dale's inevitable relegation from League One if results go against us on Monday afternoon.

The Police have announced that there will be no relaxing of the all ticket policy on the day of the game.

I really don't see why it is a problem for the police. Spotland only holds 10,208. It shouldn't be difficult to handle that amount of people. We should be able to give Sheffield United a bigger allocation. Maybe it would've been a good idea to put them in the TDS aswell. I'm a season ticket holder in the TDS and I would quite happily move either in to the main stand or the sandy lane and see a bigger crowd there. Sheffield United would sell 5000 tickets with ease, they've already filled their 3500 allocation. Let's face it, there'll only be about 2000 dale fans anyway, our season is well and truly over.

Dalenet added 22:33 - Apr 9 I would have liked GMP to allow the club to sell all 3750 seats in the Willbutts - why restrict it to 3500? Any problems on the night could be accomodated in the wing of the TDS that the police now insist is left empty. Can you imagine Old Trafford agreeing to such arrangements?

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
