TAT   10 #1 Posted January 24, 2013 (edited) Well its cup weekend, and a long trip to Berkshire, after having no interest in this game when drawn, cup fever has steped in and have booked a hotel in Windsor for a footballing weekend.  Work permitting i shall be there, The new Reading ground is a boring new build, and lacks the tradition of the old Elm Park.  But at £12 and £14 a ticket and the slim chance to progress in the F.A. CUP its another away day .  My forcast ? heart over head..2-2. Edited January 24, 2013 by TAT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Clare85 Â Â 11 #7 Posted January 25, 2013 Sounds like the away end could be quiet then! Â There is going to be a tribute/appreciation/celebratory applause and chanting during the game for Chris Armstrong, don't know if it's been on the SUFC website or news.

In the 3rd minute the fans are gonna clap to show their support for Chris who had to retire from the game when diagnosed with MS.( 3 was his shirt number at both clubs) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
bassett-boys   10 #10 Posted January 25, 2013 I'm going for super Kitson to score in this one.  To be honest i'm a bit worried at the minute looking at this snow outside, going for an early start in the morning and could do with this clearing up asap if i'm honest with you.  In regards to people going, I have a 3/4 guaranteed full coach, a few more have been welcomed but I haven't had a firm yes or no yet.  Would love a replay at the lane to boost the books and hopefully create the makings of a good, exciting game for fans to go and get behind, could bring a welcome boost to United to kickstart us.  1-1 would do for me.

bassett-boys   10 #12 Posted January 25, 2013 Were off over towards Thurcroft, another supporters club asked if we would be able to get over to Damons restaurant in Sheffield to pick up a few should they not be able to go via minibus due to weather but were not going to risk it.  Extremely worried at minute, we must have had 4 inches in last hour or so and it's still coming down with some snowflakes bigger than an inch  Was thinking about coming off M1 towards Towcester and M40 way, that the route that your taking TAT mate?
