jsslatic Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Does anyone know if they usually do a Soccer AM draw decide who's at home first or is it normally done behind closed doors. According to footballgroundguide the B2Net Stadium away end capacity is 2,112. Trust this will be enough (especially if the away leg is on the box) but I'm sure it can begin a new argument about priority selling for cup tickets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SholverBlue Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) Doubt we'll fill it. Around 700 away fans? Far too optimistic or a bit negative? Edited December 6, 2011 by SholverBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancy lad Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Doubt we'll fill it. I wouldn't be so sure about that! Will you go because of the importance of the game? And would you if it was earlier in the competion? I will be there as its the Northern Final but have to be honest I wouldn't have gone a couple of rounds ago. How many will do the same???

I plan to go and would have gone from the round played today onwards. I wonder if the following will be affected by the fact we play them there at start of the year anyway, or if the league following will be affected because of the JPT. I'd expect we'd bring a few more than 700... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bossrocks Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Do we know roughly when the games will be played? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Dates for the northern final, and then fingers crossed the national one - don't jinx it. Area Finals Leg 1 - Tuesday 17th / Wednesday 18th January 2012 Area Finals Leg 2 - Tuesday 7th / Wednesday 8th February 2012 The Final - Sunday 25th March 2012 I think we'll fill that away end at Chesterfield.

bossrocks Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) I'll be in New Zealand until 23 Jan so will miss the first leg but will be going to the second leg, home or away. Will also miss Anfield if we get there Edited December 6, 2011 by bossrocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln Blue Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 There will be several of us going from Lincoln. It's closer than Boundary Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It depends on a few factors whether we will fill it. If the away leg is first we could poentially have Anfield, Chesterfield and Huddersfield as 3 away games in the month following Christmas. I'm not sure if I could afford that so I'm sure quite a few others will be the same. Anfield would be a no brainer - gotta go. If its the 2nd leg and we are 2 down, we probably wont fill it. 2 up and I'd be shock if there wasn't 2000 there... unless its on tv and probably 1500.

rudemedic Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 It depends on a few factors whether we will fill it. If the away leg is first we could poentially have Anfield, Chesterfield x2 and Huddersfield as 4 away games in the month following Christmas. I'm not sure if I could afford that so I'm sure quite a few others will be the same. Anfield would be a no brainer - gotta go.

FTFY its a good point though- I can see the Chesterfield away league game and the Hudds away game not having as many Latics there as there would normally be. As a decent percentage of even the hardcore are forced to pick and choose with 4 away games just after xmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Im personally hoping the away game is drawn as the 2nd leg - just so I can afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manshaw Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 So we put a few crosses in and win the game. free kick would be better.He stands behind the wall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slystallone Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 free kick would be better.He stands behind the wall. Why not do both and win 10 nil?? I think i'll be sacking off the league game on the 2nd in favour of going to the away leg of the 'final'. I think plenty of others will be doing the same. I think we stand a good chance of taking 1500+ for the 'final' IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyldelatic Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 We have been drawn away first at Chesterfield on Tuesday 17th January. Return leg, televised live on Sky, on either Tuesday 7th or Wednesday 8th February at BP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gaffer Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Doubt we'll fill it. Around 700 away fans? Far too optimistic or a bit negative? We will fill it, no questions asked! We had 2k at Preston on a tuesday night, similar distances, much more important game I'll put my house on us taking more than 2k.
