I phoned the ticket office this afternoon about Salford and was told there is no chance at all of us being given any more than the 1,300 we already have. They also said that the rate they are going, it is very unlikely there will be any left after the season ticket holders have had their dibs. However it seems that it`s only the away end that is all-ticket; if you are happy to go in the home section you can pay on the gate. I think I`m going to do that, as I`m going to be in the Manchester area that week-end seeing family anyway.

I agree that on paper we should thrash Braintree. Trouble is, as we all know football is played on grass, not paper. AND I`ve been watching CFC long enough to know that this is just the sort of game that we can screw up big-time - I`ve seen us do it many times. I`m still going to come up, though - got my ticket via the website. Will I never learn?
