Hull City Away Sold Out
Wednesday, 22nd Oct 2014 12:09

Yet another sold out away day as Saints great backing on the road continues with a long haul trip up to Kingston Upon Hull.

There might be a few empty seats at St Mary's this season, but on the road its a different matter as Saints sell out their allocation for a Premier league away game for the fifth consecutive time this season.

I have at times complained about the failure to sell out St Mary's over the past year, but something I cant moan about is the superb backing given to Saints by those supporters who travel away to support the club.

Hull City will be our fifth league game on the road this season and its the fifth sell out, add to that the 5,000 who travelled to Arsenal and another 1,000 or so who went to Millwall in the Capital One Cup and its brilliant to see so many follow Saints away from home.

Next away game though is perhaps the most important of the season so far, the trip to Stoke City could open the path for a run to Wembley for a final, with it being half term week hopefully there will be a bigger following than might otherwise have been, so if you are still deciding to go up to the Brittannia or not, get your tickets quickly before they sell out.

Sorry to bring it up, but it's an economic question too.

Here in Bordeaux (3rd in Ligue 1 at the mo) the ground's empty, and you can forget away trips.

The British economy is picking up slowly, and peeps have a little bit of diposable - when your team's doing well that's what you'll spend it on.

Just make sure you don't vote Labour and turn Britain into Hollande's France. You'll regret it bad.

A1079 added 22:34 - Oct 22 I live 22 miles from Hull and thought this is one game I and my son will be able to go to and not cost a bomb. Somehow missed out and did not keep my eye on the website. So disappointed. Went last year. Still, have got tickets for the Stoke Capital One game.

A1079 added 12:15 - Oct 23 Thanks Nick. I will try the travel option and then just end up sitting with the Hull fans - which could be interesting.

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?
