I've had a look and no one is sitting directly next to me in the North stand  :(

Maybe because you shouldn't be in the North Stand until Saturday.

You are correct…
This pathetic blah blah blah


Aww diddums. What sort of big girl's blouse resorts to this bizarre abuse? Grow a spine for heaven's sake.

From reading the messages, maybe the "someone" that needs to have a word is the Crown Prosecution Service.

Anyway, at the risk of getting this topic back on track.
I looked at the ticketing site this morning.
The west stand looks pretty full. There are still some blocks of tickets in the cheaper seats at the north side.
The north stand has a few big blocks of seats free.
The east stand has a few blocks of tickets at the cheaper seats at the north or south ends.
The south stand also has availability on the cheaper sides.
 - block BC in the middle (where I sit) is close to being sold out.

There are tickets in small groups in most price categories.

So, it looks as though they have sold most of the more expensive seats and the seats remaining are mainly in the cheaper corner regions.

And - there are still two days of ticket sales to go.

 - so, I think it could be a good turnout.




If it's a glorious sunny day, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a fair few walk-ups. I tend not to buy tickets in advance to due erratic business demands, and usually just turn up on the day.

Glorious morning today in the surroundings of the Stoop. If it’s sunny enough and the beer queues are smaller than normal - I’m not going to mind the result by 2pm….

championes, I think you'll find the beer queues short enough today. Do let us know the result :-)

Right gotchya. Don't worry though, I can confirm the groundsmen I saw mooching on the pitch was TERRIBLE. Not premiership standard by any means. Slow, and kept going forward before losing all the ground gained coming back the other way with the mower. Matson out

I thought the Kings Bar was quicker than normal. Still had to wait 5 mins.

Greetings all. Well I've tidied up after the ruction from the earlier abuse of the club then myself. In the process some of you may have had posts deleted where either they quoted stuff I didn't want repeated or they referenced stuff that now it had been removed made no sense.  If anyone has any issues with what has happened, please contact me by using a personal message ("my messages" at the top of the page).

Looks like the stoop is getting fuller:

West - 81% sold = 3240
East - 68% sold = 2720
North - 83% sold = 1660
South - 75% sold = 3000

total: 10,620

All very rough figures but a half decent guide

Any thoughts about the team for Saturday? I get the sense that we are  building up to a big one! We are hopefully going to go full strength and back ourselves to outscore Montpellier by at least 15.

I can't see too many changes. I am pleased that Lynagh started last week and hope that he is not rotated back to the bench. Maybe Northmore is having another week to get ready for the future Prem matches.

David as cover for the impressive Jones at FB is good. I wouldn't mind seeing Beard at 23, though. He is really impressive.

If he’s fit Evans has to start. Our backrow was outplayed last week so have more experienced campaigners will be crucial. Other than that I’d keep the same team outside of 7

Good shout. Are you thinking WEv in at 7, with Lawday at 6? Looks very good to me.
Hammond and Jurevicius gives us exciting options on the bench but we would miss Wallace and his jackling skill. Perhaps this is less of a problem if WEv can do an hour or so.

I think that would be the best balance. Our academy prospects have had good flashes, but i think their inexperience showed a bit in probably the biggest game they’ve played in. Dosent mean they are bad players though but the difference at the breakdown was noticeable

I'd like to see WEv / Lawday / Dommers + Wallace - don't want to lose the breakdown nous as the game opens up. Hammond to cover lock, assuming Steph still isn't fully fit.

Has Lawday been dropped or injured? Assuming the latter... out of the 23 entirely.
