Away at Mick McCarthy's Super Ipswich Town

[ChrisC]

Getting out of hand this.. Any chance of getting back on topic?

[mrkint]

Feckin hate Ipswich. Middle o'nowhere Barry Knight-pocketing fecks.

Had to listen to that play-off semi on the radio as a nipper. HEARTBREAKING.

Hopefully a full week's rest will serve us well after the 21 day footballathon.

Predictions for the game are 2-1 to us, and a new pair of undercrackers ordered in la casa del caballo loco.

I see your point, and you're right I do see it as fair game, I've never broken the law in any other manner and never would, i just feel ticket prices are extremely extortionate and after paying £25 for travel, around £10 for food, drink and reading material for the journey, a further £31 would take an away day total to £66, and in my book £66 for a championship game is a joke.

Being a student in no way justifies it, and it's no excuse, i'm simply pointing out if i was in a full-time job and not living off a student loan, i'd have no qualms paying full price, which I do for my Reebok Season Ticket.

Oh poor you. You dont have to be in full time work to able to afford things at Uni. When I was there, I had 2 jobs on top of all that work and still managed to fund myself without conning the club I support.

And, the decision to spend £10 on food drink and reading material is proof that you clearly
cant prioritise your money. Take a packed lunch, dont drink beer and read things via your
phone.

I don't drink Alcohol, point taken about the packed lunch, and I'm sure you're Mr. Perfect and have never done anything wrong in your life.

I can't read things off my phone as I don't have mobile Internet on my phone. I wasn't looking for sympathy in the first place, so don't try and patronise me.

Blimey, those knickers are going to take forever to untwist.

[CrazyHorse]

Oh, and welcome to the site.

[Bruce Rioja]

Eh!

Jesus said 'Let he who is without ticket chance his arm.'?

Did he not say 'Laurie Sivell saves'?

[coffeymagic]

I like the 'Money Saving Expert' tip. Too poor to buy books? Why not buy a £500 Ipad and read free stuff on that!

Or visit a library.

Mondju what kind of reading 'material' are we talking about here?

[Enoch]

I would imagine that depends largely upon which of those pieces of advice one takes!

[Parr93]

Oh, and welcome to the site.

Cheers, my knickers aren't in a twist!

I just stick up for myself when someone says something.

Ok, on topic now, I'm hoping for a 3-0 win with us completely outclassing Ipswich but we don't usually do things the easy way, so I'm expecting a hard fought 2-1

Indeed

though I remember, rather selfishly, thinking at the time Deano knocked that free kick in: "FFS why couldn't he do that against Villa?"

[Bijou Bob]

My lad's 16, so he gets a cheap ticket, but being 6'2 he then gets a bet on and a few pints in. I'm not sure whether to be proud or horrified to be honest, but fair play to him for having the best of both worlds.

Aaaaaaaaaaaanyway. I'm predicting a draw. 0-0 dul and uninspiring stuff for a change. Happy with a point and would be delirious with 3.

[boltonboris]

I'm not sure I'm happy settling for a point. We need to win 7 of the last 9 in my opinion. Bearing in mind we have to go to Leicester and Cardiff (also Bristol City who are fighting for their lives), this should be one of those 7 if we have any aspirations of reaching the play offs

Nah. We're safe. We've got 9 games left.

Win 7 to hit 75 points - and likely be in play-offs.

Win 6 to hit 72 points - any maybe scrape play-offs.

Bottom line is that we've 4 home games left. EVEN IF we win those 4 we need to find 2 away wins minimum possibly 3.

Winning our last 4 home games is definitely ON, but given we've won the last few at home I'm allowing for a slip up somewhere.

So lets say we take 9 points from our home games. We need 9 away from home from 5 games. 3 wins or 2 wins and 3 draws. I don't fancy us all that much at Cardiff.

Leicester away might need to be a win.

So 2 more needed from Bristol City, Charlton and Ipswich.

Basically balls all point going out being happy with draws now. We've got nowt to lose now. Go all out for 3 points every game.

And to clarify that doesn't mean some balls out, 93 wingers and 100 strikers on the pitch attacking display. It just means keep doing what we're doing, try and keep it tight at the back and create enough chances the other end to win the games.

Twelve on the trot is the target for an all-time club record number of wins on the bounce. Just saying, not predicting nothing, because obviously we are domed and all that, but another win takes us to six if I calculate 5 + 1 correctly, which I think I do. And some people at sometime somewhere have got to be the ones who witness such events as all-time club records, not that I'm saying it's us of course, or now, certainly not.

We don't want to go into the play-offs on quite that kind of a run as it's bound to come to an end at some point.............................

I don't do this needing so many wins etc..

We just need to be 2nd in our mini league between Brighton, Forest, Leicester and us.

How that might come about I couldn't give a feck.

Hope !! ..... It's a bastard !!

Oh dear, I can see that going down a storm (viz.)

2 Hull
3 Watford
4 Crystal Palace

9 Nottingham Forest

Thanks for the replies, I get told I only look about 12 anyway so I should be fine, hope we can get another important win! COYWM!

Theiving student.

Get a wash.

I assure you I do not need to 'Get a wash' nor am I a thief, our club needs all the support it can get, and if that means not conforming to extortionate prices that clubs charge nowadays then so be it.

I wasn't rude to you, so please don't be rude to me.

"Get a wash" is a standing joke on here ... you're new, so it's understandable you don't realise that. No harm intended.

Paying children's price, when you aren't a child is thieving. Whether that bothers you, or you see it as "fair game" is your call, but it is still one form or another depiving the supplier of a service of the appropriate price. If you went into Next & saw a shirt for £30 and felt that was a bit steep, so took it & just left £12 by the till that'd be thieving (or fraud) in my book.

I fail to see why being a student justifies that.

I'd sooner said fan paid the money, no matter how much, and actually attended the game. If I could get a kids ticket and get in then I'd have no problem doing that.

So you'd sooner have an empty seat than someone paying less than they should?! The club would lose out and the fan too. Let's be honest - we're Bolton and need all the fans we can get!

As for the student comment - it's not like in your day, when tickets were 3 shillings and you got paid for studying

I've never been in a shop where they let you leave the money on the counter btw..

Boro are on a slide big time. I don't think they will finish top 8 at the rate they are going.
