Qwiss I think, specifically on Tuesday, there were tonnes of people late into the ground. The turnstile we went in on was really slow going as there were loads of people with bags using the wrong queue, but we were still in 20 minutes before kick off. I don't know how you can be late for an 8pm kick off really.

The main contributor though, was definitely the absence of the Ashburton crew - I mean, obviously the result didn't help but it's not like Newcastle were on top of us from minute 1.

RocktheCasbah whats the story with AA and the club? Seems to be a bit of tension there this season.

Qwiss not sure - not really on top of socials now so no idea what's being said online. But I was at the Palace game in the previous round and although they were obviously not in the Clock End, they were still creating an atmosphere down the other end of the ground. So I don't know whether people just weren't there.

I don't remember them not being at the Ipswich game, but I wasn't feeling great (and was also up the other end anyway), so it's possible they weren't there and I just didn't notice.

Qwiss not sure if anything has happened recently, but their allocation was halved after 22/23.

QuincyAbeyie which seems utterly moronic. The last day of the 22/23 season was an incredible experience in the stadium, I think it might be my favourite game I've ever been to - and they were a huge part of why.

QuincyAbeyie yeah I read about that. There was talk of some bad behaviour from them. I get that the club has to be careful with stuff like that but I get the feeling they don't really appreciate the atmosphere those guys bring.
