Currently 1-0 to the league side.
But attendance is 4,010. Harrogate's largest since 1950 at this stadium.
Keenly contested game.

That is outrageous Gerry
I have been to three Away draws this season
Barrow, Morecambe and Accrington.
Admittedly no Away wins yet
Leaves me in a quandary for Meadow Lane.
In truth Sky Sports televised games are leaving me lazy this season.
Enjoy the game tomorrow

Thread | Cod Army gutted to lose to the Super U's in classic encounter
at 18:01 29 Nov 2024
Tomorrow sees DC take his U’s side to Highbury Stadium – the home of the Cod Army.
Now I must resist the temptation to opine that we will batter them and that they’ve had their chips or that they will be filleted by the Super U’s.
Charlie Adam’s side are 13th with 21 points from 14 games (2 games in hand on most clubs) whilst we are 20th with 17 points from 16 games.
Brendan Wiredu a former U’s favourite might be fit to face his old side.
Now once again the game is on Sky TV with a 12:30hrs kick off and so I am going to watch the game on the TV. I have no real excuse but that is the way it is tomorrow.
Of course, the last time I went to Highbury Stadium was 25 April 2015 where the attendance was 3,129 and on 83 minutes we were 2-1 down and heading for relegation.
However, Gavin Massey drew us level on 84 minutes and in a frantic finale Chris Porter scored a penalty in front of the faithful (he was super cool when it really mattered). We won 3-2 and cue jubilant scenes from the faithful. We also survived that season, only to be relegated the following season.
Tomorrow at Fleetwood the weather will be 12 degrees Celsius, cloudy with a 22% chance of precipitation and a keen breeze.
Make sure you take some Fisherman’s Friends which are made by the Lofthouse Company in Fleetwood ( you pass the factory on the way to the ground).
Now after the euphoria of the first Away win of the season at a wet and windy Blundell Park (the weather was horrendous and fair play to the faithful who battled the elements to witness the great win), the forecast suggests that conditions will be marginally better at Highbury Stadium.
It was also no accident that DC was able to field almost his strongest side.
I would go with the following tomorrow:
Definitely the best back four at the club. Then if fit I would like to see Oscar Thorn and Owura Edwards as the wide players with McDonnell and Payne in midfield. TnT up front.
Macey
Egbo Goodliffe Donnelly Iandolo
Thorn McDonnell Payne Edwards
Tovide Taylor
Subs
Smith Flanagan Anderson Read Gordon Woodyard Bishop
And this is the problem that DC has still no place for Kells within that lineup and squad.
Anyway, we will see how bold DC is with his selection.
Back-to-back Away wins. You better believe it. The U’s are on their way up.
Scoreline another win and in an open game a 3-2 U’s win with a scorcher from Egbo and TnT to bag the other two.
Safe journey to the travelling faithful.
Enjoy the game and Up the U’s

Joe Taylor used as a second half substitute on 59 mins at Leeds last night.
Essentially the game was already lost.
Luton should be charged with crimes against football.
Joe Taylor deserves to play every week not this grace and favour nonsense.
The Terriers are waiting in the wings but Taylor has been ignored for half a season and it is criminal.
Luton will go down and it will be entirely their own fault. |

I am sure that many of us on this board were present at Maine Road on 31 October 1998 for the City game.
Attendance that day was 24,820. We were unlucky to lose 2-1 but played very well.
Unlike the Emptihad today I would suggest that the majority of those present were real City supporters.
I know that those of us in the away area were true Col U supporters.
Supporters are fickle and football is a results business but no team has the right to expect to win every game. City must learn to live with reality.

Wessex - the Americans have recently transferred 4 x B52s to Fairford on a deterrent to Mr Putin mission.
Must have been quite a sight to see over your house.
Those long range beasts first flew in the 1950s.
Amazing.
Hopefully not a step closer to Armageddon especially as Col U are on the up.

I can promise you that Danny Boy Pyke is not one of my nom de plumes.
Neither am I the artist formerly known as Prince.
However I do reluctantly accept that we have about as much chance of a return of Joe Taylor than Elon Musk of flying to Mars.
What I fail to understand is why Luton Town seem determined to be relegated by Easter and why they will not play JT.
Wessex is right Huddersfield want Taylor and are willing to pay but he should be playing regular championship football not languishing on the bench or worse.

Wessex we only look higher up the table now.
DC is beginning to play his best XI.
He needs to stay strong and ensure that the top performing players are selected.
In atrocious conditions we eeked out the vital win.
Our best back four played today. Both the forest youngsters are on fire.
Hope Thorn is back next week.
