I’d rather be in a condom than fucking Leeds

Surely if you're fucking Leeds you'll need a condom anyway?

Are there still tickets left for sale at the ground on Saturday?

 

[Nivag]

Are there still tickets left for sale at the ground on Saturday?

My understanding is there should be, as there were enough tickets available for all the season and trust members but they wouldn't sell out on them alone.

For once in my life I’d be more than happy if the rain carries on like this, 24 hours every day till Saturday morning.

This bitterness routine is getting rather tiresome

 

[Pavel]

Anyone Manchester based fancy meeting up for the game?

Doubt it'll be on in a pub but if a few of us went we could make it happen...

Incorrect.

Six more days yet.

Sorry/not sorry to inform you EDC but they bring in a company to protect the pitch if the forecast is looking dodgy.

Leeds needs fucking with or without a condom.
Really looking forward to Friday, I might even go to my local up here in Sheffield wearing my Hamlet scarf to watch it.
Not just a bonus allowing me to watch the match but a very profitable occasion for the club also and with a bit of luck the chance to progress. I just hope the tv coverage doesn’t prevent a full house.

 

[CumbrianCharver]

Now then, Carlisle fan here!

Proper cup tie this one, looking forward to being under the lights. Travel isn’t a concern for us lot, we’re used to it!

We’ve sold nearly 400 at the last update, so looks like a fairly full house on friday.

Little bit of information on our ourselves. Most of us don’t like our owners as they make dinosaurs seem modern, we also have a billionaire called Phillip Day and his Edinburgh Woollen Mill involved in the dim background but merely as an alternative bank. Our manager is getting stick, he’s a nice enough fella but it’s not happened on the pitch for him to date. Our fans are a decent bunch, and I’ve noticed you’ve already mentioned our London group who’ve been on the go well over forty years now.

Given the two division gap we should win, but part of being a Carlisle fan is to never take anything for granted. Ever. I’m sure you all know the Jimmy Glass, formerly of you too, tale!!!

All the best after friday folks!

I was outside the ground with Paul Hobdell, a name old timers will recognise, when Alan Pardew drove up for his first game in his second spell with us. The two hadn't met for eleven years. Alan got out of his car, walked over and said "hello Paul".

I thought that to remember the name of a DHFC volunteer, after the way his career played out, spoke volumes about him as a human being.

Indeed, have had some great chats with Pards whenever he has been in the boardroom either for Palace or in another capacity. His tales of the infamous Malta trip left me in stitches!

When the management displease Moroccan Sunset they had better watch out

Think it's more likely to be the other way around, to be honest, Griff!

 

[CumbrianCharver]

We have now sold out our allocation according to the club social media outlets.

Excellent, enjoy the warmer weather and the covered area.

Do we know yet if there is any alcohol restrictions for Friday?

Do we know yet if there is any alcohol restrictions for Friday?

Apparently there's going to be some sort of marquee with a bar alongside the Tommy Jover Stand at the Greendale End, but no drinking outside there or the clubhouse.

Meanwhile in Carlisle

 

[Bugpowder Dust]

Pretty sure everyone will be aware by now but in case not, our remaining tickets were snapped up this evening and the match is now a sellout.

Just took a quick look at our form in light of discussions on the Bath City thread and our cup and league form couldn't be more different. Yes we played a lower league Croydon team but we have been embarrased by teams at their level in the cups in the last few seasons.

League since 1 Sep: P7 W0 D3 L4 F9 A14
Cup ties since 1 Sep: P4 W4 F16 A3.

what time is the best time to get there for a seat?

 

[tonysingh]

Five minutes before k.o should be fine.

Bring a brolly if it's raining! One of those huge golf ones.

And keys to jangle, just so everyone knows you're here.

If someone invented folding interlocking king-size brollies with extra long handles, then the fans could create their own shelter for everyone - no planning required!

*Gives the Dragons Den team a call.

And don’t forget your half and half scarves.

 

[Cyclodunc]

I’m very excited about this game

 

[Paula_G]

Might have missed it somewhere else in the midst of this but has it been mentioned anywhere whether a minute’s silence will be held before kick off as this is our nearest home game to Remembrance Sunday?

I very much hope so
