I spoke with the ticket ofice this morning about tickets. They said that they should hear about getting a futher allocation either later today or tomorrow morning.

There are no more official coach places left either. I was asking about the official travel just as someone was filling in applications for the last 2 places.

I think that Eurosport will have to do for me!

Hate to bring bad news but a certain Mr Poll will be refereeing the 2nd leg at the Theatre of Nightmares , although I guess I should point out that Graham Poll was the referee when we beat Spuds in the Final back in 2002.

Referees appointments

Just listening to BBC GMR at the moment, and they have just announced that Roy Keane has left Man Utd with immediate affect by "Mutual Consent".

57 games without a goaless draw.

it's interesting to see that the odds on Mark Hughes being the next manager have been cut to 3/1 from 5/1. Personally, i'd like to see either Hughes or Strachan as our new manager.
