4th round!

Ridiculous. To ensure segregation? Well I can guarantee the league game won't be made all ticket so why should the Cup game? It's not like Hudders are going to sell all 4,600 seats so there's no need for their fans to come into the home stands. All this does is bring the crowd down because people who may choose to turn up on the day will be dissuaded by the fact that it's all ticket. I don't for one minute think the club want this game to be all ticket, surely they can just point out to the Police we haven't had a segregation problem before for pay on the day league games and the Cup should be no different.

The prices do need to be dropped a tad, I really can't see there being twice as many 'Tics at BP for Hudders than there were for Crewe and Donny, which is what people seem to be thinking we will if we're going to hit 10k. Drop the prices a bit and more will come...we have a big chance here to make it to the 5th round of the cup, let's get as many in as possible.

QPR would have sold out but we only got given the small section of the RRE the day before the game, the rest of the ground was full. Blackpool wasn't even sold out in the rest of the ground. Sorry, claims that we'll sell out for Huddersfield are way wide of the mark.

Indeed, some people are saying 'full house'. We didn't even get a full house for Bolton in R4 three years ago, or for the playoff semi final at Blackpool. Maybe 8-9k.

If we do it will be interesting to see if the club stick to the comment they made when we signed Hughesy, saying he wouldn't play at Coventry if we were to play them.

Can't sleep, still buzzing! Noone at home because away games are more fun, and because the way we play at home, we'd follow up a win at Everton with a loss to Havant and Waterlooville at BP... So... Newcastle away Derby away Spurs away Liverpool away Arsenal away Sheffield Utd away Watford away (not sure why) Failing that... Mansfield away (close to Nottingham and seemingly easier passage through to 5th round) Nightmare scenario would be someone like Swansea at home. I certainly don't want a L1 team.

Quick look at his pictures brings this one up... Added by a certain Matthew Barlow

Tranfer window.

My only gripe with Kilkenny is that it's Leeds he's gone to, which is something that obviously, and fair enough, means nothing to him.

He retired didn't he?

Would Cywka want to come back? Didn't he leave early because he never got a game, or am I thinking about somebody else?

Best of luck Berty.

Bang on, though I don't think I'd be feeling like this if it wasn't that place he was going to. I bloody hate Leeds.

Absolutely seething. Fine, if he wants to go to Doncaster for more money...that was OK with me. But to go to that :censored:ing place on loan, I'm livid.

You'll give 1000/1 that he doesn't score?! I'll take that bet!

Did they hate eachother so much they wouldn't even be on the same pitch as eachother?

That's so he isn't cup tied if they do offload him. If we renew his loan to the end of the season one would assume he'd be allowed to play.

Well Killer knows the club want him, from the reaction the fans gave him at the final whistle it's clear to him we want him as well. Hopefully we can persuade him to take our lesser offer, or seemingly get his parents to persuade him to! I have a feeling we'll renew Berty's loan...the rumours about him going to Leicester were when Mourinho was in charge at SB and Megson at the Walkers. With two new managers in it could be a different story. Fingers crossed as well that if we do renew his loan we can do it before Saturday.

My comments were in response to those saying it would be no great loss if he went to Doncaster. It would be a huge loss.

Wait until he's gone to Donny and we don't have shot on target against Brighton. 'Shez never replaced Wellens' 'Allott's useless' 'Kalala get out, you're not fit to wear the shirt' Kilkenny makes us tick, when he plays well, we play well. When he doesn't we don't. Just because he has bad games and an ego doesn't mean we should kick him out. If he goes in January then we're in serious trouble.

Could Wellens and Kilkenny play well together? And I thought Richie was doing well there...why do they need Kilkenny? Just another excuse to throw their cash around!

The Chaddy was much, much busier than usual. There's absolutely no way there were only just over 8,000 there yesterday. No way.

My thoughts exactly. From where I was sat in the Lookers Upper, the Main Stand Upper looked full, the Paddock was pretty full, Lookers Upper itself was rammed and the Chaddy looked very busy as well. Unless the Lookers Paddock was empty I fail to understand where all the empty seats were.

It is unlikely Berty will stay, but IIRC the reason he wasn't allowed to play originally was because Chelsea were apparently planning on shipping him off to Leicester in January. Since then Megson has left and Olly has come in...if the new manager doesn't want him then hopefully Chelsea will allow him to finish the season at BP. It's also vitally important if we are going to renew Kilkenny's loan that we do it before the Everton game. Aren't the rules that if he's on a one month loan then he can't be recalled immediately but any longer and there's a 24 hour recall? Or maybe it's the other way round. Whichever it is, it would be nice for Alex McGleish to do us a favour and let us renew his loan with a 24 hour recall in case they seal a permanent deal for him elsewhere.
