Victory Over Watford Pushes West Brom Game Towards Sell Out
Thursday, 14th Jan 2016 16:12

It's amazing what a victory can do and after Saints beat Watford there has been rush of sales for this Saturday's game against West Bromwich Albion.

Tickets had been going slowly for the visit of West Bromwich Albion on Saturday, not one of the most attractive fixtures of the season even with the return of Rickie Lambert, the recent poor run of fixtures mean't that the enthusiasm wasn't high for the arrival of the Baggies at St Mary's.

But the win over Watford has revitalised some Saints fans it seems and judging by the Club's online ticket system, tickets for Saturday have been going fast and although there are seats left in most areas of the ground, the choice of them is becoming very limited.

However it seems likely that Saints will release another 800 tickets in block 43, these have so far not been put on sale to home fans, but it seems likely that Albion will only bring around 1,800 supporters to the game according to their official website and this means that block 43 could be sold to Saints supporters should there be a late rush on Friday or the day of the game.

SaintBrock added 18:26 - Jan 14 We have a lot for fair weather fans that's for sure. Real fans buy season tickets and take the rough with the smooth, those who cherry pick only the big games and when we are doing well usually weren't interested on freezing Tuesday nights in winter when we were bottom of League 1.

Not sure that's entirely fair Brock. I'd absolutely LOVE a season ticket, believe me, but I simply can't afford one at this moment in time. It's not really 'cherry picking' when you're looking to go to a game that will put a smile on your face and get you shouting (happily), rather than put your head in your hands and give you a deep sinking feeling. I understand it's important to take the rough with the smooth - I was there on those cold winter nights in League 1, like you say - but don't feel it's fair to play the 'plastics' card just because there's a surge in ticket sales after a good win! Come on you Saints, let's make Watford the start of a run :)

schatfield added 08:38 - Jan 15 SaintBrock you are talking absolutely bollocks. Fans go if they can afford it or not, not because they are fair weather fans. And West Brom is hardly a big game!

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?
