To be fair, there's no point in having the Osmond Stand open and paying stewards to work there if there a empty seats elsewhere. Club are probably just looking at the budget, and rightly so.

Needs spelling out?

They've missed the opportunity to have behind the goal backing of Town fans in the Osmond by not making tickets for that stand generally available. For what reason? Save a bit on stewarding? The club are missing out on a possible edge by deciding they'll only make Osmond tickets available if or when the other stands sell out. I suspect you knew that's what I meant.

No I don't really see how a few fans dotted round the Osmond would provide an advantage or how it was an opportunity. Surely it would've put no extra numbers on the gate and if three packed stands can't generate an atmosphere with 5 games to go and us in a title hunt then it's the fans who'll have missed an opportunity.

Well that's supposition of course since there aren't any tickets available and now we'll never know if people would have bought tickets and gone in there and made a racket. Why not let fans from the lower smiths move into the Osmond when we're attacking that goal as a compromise? I'd just like to see us do everything we can to gain every little edge we can.

The Osmond only just opened to town fans in the last hour or so according to towns Twitter. Can't see it filling too much! The rest of the ground almost sold out apart from a couple of hundred restricted views in main stand and a few hundred left in ponny

Personally I think they may have missed out a bit on provision of atmosphere. As I said earlier, I would have liked to go in Osmond, but of course it hasn't  stopped me going.
I think a few more spaces in other stands, but a good few fans in the Osmond would have been better.
I'm sure tha atmosphere will be decent anyway though.


The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'
