Kusunga_Is_God Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Is anyone actually bothering? Forest green drained me so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hands on Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Some of us sensibly stayed away. I'm going to see the battle of the Franks and (pauses due to excitement) to pick up my scarf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hands on Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Another reason why I'm going is that so far I have only seen the Forest game. Once Maouche was removed at half time we played well. It is an opportunity before Macclesfield to see if all the moaning is well placed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshgaz Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Don't think I'm bothering. 15 quid is steep too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blue Alb Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I’m going as I missed the MK game due to holiday and didn’t go to FGR. As such it’ll be my first visit this season. Hopes aren’t high after reading reports on here but actually looking forward to going. As an aside, the fishul makes no reference to ticket prices tomorrow. Really hope it’s a tenner....

oafcshuck Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Usually love the cups as a bit of an adventure but this season I was just focused on 46 cup finals in the league. That view hasn't changed. Wholesale changes and ready to go again on Saturday. On a side note our record in this competition is absolutely horrific. Since that R4 run in 2003 I don't think we've had many great draws (Spurs at home maybe back when they were average) and apart from great draws I think we've gone out in the first round in 8 of the last 9 years. Not made Round 3 since 2003 find that astonishing! Record since then Played 19 Won 4 Lost 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gentleman Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I'm not going in the hope that my decision somehow makes us good. I'll be back Saturday though so don't get carried away if we win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBosch Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 It saddens me how unimportant the League Cup is viewed nowadays. Especially given our history in it. This is about as big a draw as we could have got with Lampard being their manager yet there'll be less than 3,000 (maybe even less than 2000) there unless Derby bring a few. And why do people want/expect it to be a tenner against Championship opposition where we could progress to a lucrative next round draw yet are fine with £17 to watch us play Macclesfield? Surely it should be the other way round? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Approx 3000 of us paid £11.75 per game. They then have to pay £15 to watch us likely get thrashed (based on the last 2 league games). If I wasn't on holiday I might go but wouldn't be rushing to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
