Guess we will have to give them the Town End :'(
How many fans do you think they will be bring, should be a good attendance
-
What with the current weather situation and their position in the league, I, personally, don,t think there will be that many, perhaps only 40-50.
-
about 400 at a guess.

no-way these aint any old non-league team tbf out in numbers when doing well , low numbers when not
will give them credit they do seem to take good numbers werever they go
-
there was about 300+ at hucknall few weeks back so i would think about the same. As with last year depends how bad the weather is..
-
40-50 hahahahaha sorry made me laugh .
With us not doing well atm probably about 300-450 :-\
-
FCUM are proper football fans who've been screwed over just like we were,the difference is they tried to stop the Glaizers, most of you clowns wanted Evans back. Even though they are garbage at present they will turn up in good numbers and it will be our best gate of the season.
Expect 1500-1700 for the game.

it might be a fair comment to ask you to consider more closely when you call all of us "you clowns" you clown

A lot of FC fans missed last year as the weather was freezing so presumed it would be off...but the match was played and most fans spoke very highly of the visit to Boston. On that i think you can expect a slightly bigger FC following (500+) this time, but the same result! ;)
-
whoever you are noughtyforties thats one hell of a generalisation directed at Boston fans.Alot of us got it wrong but what gives you that holier than thou credence. I for one despised his return but those who i know who did,i stil respected their view although they admit it was wrong now. You know what them kinda remark reminds me of a certain manager and his soundbites!!!!!!!!!!!

We are certainly a better side than last year, and looking at the table, you're the opposite....

we were in a similar position last year and the win at your place was a real kick-start to our season. The stand that we were in last year was a belter...

why cant we shift them in spayne road and make some noise in town end :)

Its nowt to do with the stand. it cant be moved down to entry points, and keeping the bulk of supporters from each other
-
All the policing and shit for larger games meen fc and other teams with large fanbases get the best vocal stand. kinda sucks when the game you want to make noise is the one where you cant

If you watch some of the highlights on you tube you will be supprised to learn you are heard just as much in the spain road than the town end.

i seem to remember that last time fcum came to us they were fighting amongst themselves, some bloke was taken to hospital with a broken nose, can we expect the same again this season?

More then likley it's the same person when pissed kicks off with anyone in site haha
-
Which is obviously an incident that you know nothing about then fcum_91 so why comment?
I'm sure we will bring a vocal and well-oiled support which will add to the atmosphere. It is nice to play at a ground with a significant home support for once and as your supporters have seen on the numerous times we have met before that we are not the retired hoolies that certain non-league message boards try and make us out to be. This was probably my favourite away trip last year!

-
There was 2 taken to a and e from the fcum, mum in law was working in a&e that day. i didnt see any of them but she said one had took several good punches to the face
-
Having not played in a while, im sure many of us like myself are itching for a trip away. I rekon between 450-650 FC.

HAPPY NEW YEAR :xmashat
-
Same as last year 1-0 to Fc ;D
-

Perhaps we should try the south coast or the French wine growing areas.

a bit like your cup final you might say <wink>
-
I wouldnt worry about this thread, we can start it again in a month or 2.
-
Sorry to be negative but looking at the long range weather forecast for this week i wouldnt be surprised if the match is postponed. Sorry !
-
I hope not, it would be bad for finances if this game was rearranged for a weekday.

For the last match against Stocksbridge Park Steels the game was able to go ahead, but the Town End had to be closed on safety grounds - due to ice on the terraces.
What would our contingency plan be to accommodate the FCUM travelling support - just in case we find ourselves without the Town End again? If the pitch were playable but the Town End remained unsafe, could the game still be postponed?
-
Ground has to be deemed to be safe for the game to go ahead. Same goes for the surrounding roads ......
Move the game to my gaff ... stadium rent is about 5,000, guaranteed sun and a pleasant 26'C. ::)
Ok quite a long coach journey, and shawarmas not burgers at half time, but its an option!

We could have one game there a year, if it good enough for the premiership then....
-
I can feel this one gathering pace .... one seat on the coach ... anymore? ;D

If it carries on like this coaches won't be able make it over.

We are are lucky we missed what they said we was gonna get this morning it swung to the south, judging by the forcast that changes every hour at the mo the only fears are frost(ice) and finding you and the other fans plenty of shovels to dig your way out of manchester

it wasnt necessary against sbs but it would be against fcum to have the town end open i agree but for a match that big im sure the town end could be salted so safe after all you wouldnt need to treat all of it even if they came with 400 half would do
-
My dads stuck in his lorry around manchester area somwhere so doesnt sound like its to good up there, would lower the amount of fc fans coming if the conditions are the same saturday

Boston Boogie Bus.

FCUM have been strengthening their squad this week

I think OFF, with reguler snow showeres expected and severe frost i think we gonna need a bit more than a shovel ot 2

you are a right ray of sunshine, been negative all week! Where are the other nicer Boston fans who promise it will be on, that its never off and that you ain't no mickey mouse club etc. The met-office predictions are quite good the rest of the week (well for Boston not Manchester!)

Snow covers the pitch and prevents from frost - just like for Boxing Day.

Not trying to be negative, just logical, It aint just the pitch to take in to count. I want a game as much as anyone it deppresses me sitting at home all the time, with ce already laying everywhere and know snow on top its gonna take a big effort to get it on, althou proberly no where near the effort its gonna take to get here.

LOL!! didnt that small tinpot club get there game called off last night. Whats that shack they call home, oh! yeah its called the emirates. How tinpot are they. We'll make sure the groundsman puts on the undersoil heating friday night. ;D
I hope the game is on but obviously only if its safe for the players, officials and fans.

might aswell say its off!

How can Sheffield predict all games will be off in January? We're only a week in and just a couple of mild or wet days will soon rid the pitch of the white stuff.
-
The heavy blanket of snow might help to get the game on as it will help defrost the ground below. It was -7.5 degrees at 7.30am this morning in South London, with 10 inches of snow...below the snow the ground was soft-ish :dan
The temperature is going to be around zero from now until the game according to metcheck, it was several degrees lower than that leading up to the Boxing Day game :xmasdeer
The entrances and concourses can be sorted out saturday am by investing in a bit of salt, and if they make the decision tomorrow based on what happened Boxing Day then it could still be game on 8)
I wouldn't fancy the trip across from Manchester though
-
metcheck is a bit boggie fied with its weather at mo. met office and sky are giving a few hours of snow on sat morning now. althou as normal this is all subject to change.
NOT NEGATIVE ..........THE GAME WILL BE ON
-
Seems a bit different to me than boxing day! Prior to the snow falling pre christmas don't remember it being that cold so we had a lot of snow falling onto a relatively soft pitch. Looking at yesterday's pic when there was a sprinkling/frost on the pitch, would have thought it will be a lot harder so surely the current thicker covering of snow will only be protecting what is already there??
Also as has been mentioned it's not just about the pitch! The car park was very icy and slippy on Boxing day and would imagine again that could prove more of a problem.
Would love the game to go ahead but with most of saturday's championship and league matches already postponed really think we are being very optimistic :-\

Exactly what I thought, what a bizarre statement to make.
-
Yeah I also thought it was a weird comment from Sheffield FC.
That said, living 10-15 miles away, I doubt very much our game will be on next Tuesday (shame as I assume it would counted to Church's ban) or, given the forecast, the one they are due to have tomorrow week.
Maybe they just reckon their pitch will be waterlogged when it all thaws and that covers their last game in January?
-
But for THREE weeks???
-
Maybe they have "made alternative arrangements including holidays" as their neighbours north west of Sheffield reckon they had on Boxing Day. :-\
-
Well barring rearranged fixtures, their last home game this month is January 23rd but yeah even two weeks is excessive so far in advance. I was just trying to understand their reasoning, not necessarily agreeing with it!
