Not a hill I'm going to die on - but pretty sure I checked! IIRC it was in the drop down box called 'delivery options', or something. It changed when I bought a second ticket for my non-ST holding friend - obviously, given he has no access card.

Either way, you're right - communication definitely could have been better, and I would have turned up without a paper ticket tonight were it not for a stroke of fortune.

Yes, you're right.

The London Borough of Tower Hamlets posts up all its parking regulations there.

WTF are you talking about?

That was probably the single memorable thing about that dire game.

Oh, and that the swine banned booze in the away end. The 'coffee' tasted like mud.

All the way to Wigan? How is that an arduous trip, they're not going by bike are they. They'll probably fly up to manchester or have travelled on monday afternoon. Don't think they'll get jet lag coming back from Lancashire

Can't see us using too many of our potential starting line up for Bournemouth tonight unless we need to throw them on for 15/20 at the end.

It's hardly just down the road though is it?

Neither is Amsterdam but you can fly there from Norwich in 45 minutes.

In terms of the travel time, which is all that matters in this case, it's just down the road. We just have to hope it's a very physically draining game for them.

Wrong thread but valid point.

I'm sure they could do without a 4.5 hour coach trip back home on a Wednesday night - can't see them flying as the messing around at airports etc and not knowing an exact departure time would take just as long.

If it is on the back of extra-time they wouldn't set off from the ground much before 11pm so it could be 4am before most of them get home.

No training Thursday, light session Friday morning and off to a hotel in London in the afternoon... Not ideal prep to be honest.

True, but our fringe players and a few regulars should be enough if they are professional. The first game was their chance, we offered nothing going forward and had two knackered guys in the middle of the park and they still only had one decent chance. They just huffed and puffed.

Could we see something as 2nd string as this...??

----------------- Hart ------------------------
Byram Burke Rice Collins Cresswell
------------ Cullen Oxford ----------------
Quina -------------------- Haksabanovic
-------------- Martinez ---------------------

The likes of Ayew, Arnautovic, Noble and Lanzini on the bench in case needed...

Depends how they get there, but its also on the Wednesday night which gives us one more days prep than them. Anything to get an advantage Id welcome…….

ExWHU says Oxford is fit to play. Irvine says he's only trained on Monday so could feature.

Would be great to see the likes of Byram, Rice, Cullen, Oxford, Burke all feature.

Anyone coming in from Hackney Wick and might miss it, some routes will now be closed for over a year:

Rumblings from some "ITK's" on Twitter suggesting Martinez will be starting. The club account also put out an interview with him about an hour talking about how much he loved his opportunity to play at Shrewsbury etc.

Oxford is fit to play; his family have bought tickets for this evening expecting him to be included but hadn't heard as of last night if that was from the start or off the bench.
