We need to Win against Wigan nothing less will do.

A draw will do, can't really afford to lose though.

[Oldgregg86]

A draw will do if  the aim is the play offs

I hope it isn't a chilled atmosphere. This could be the turning point of our season. A season defining game. I hope it's loud and passionate. Obviously i hope their is no trouble. I think we will get beat being honest but football is a wonderful at throwing suprises up. Let's turn up in numbers and get betting the lads with all the noise and support we can muster ( ffs)

I was more hinting on the prelude.

When would anyone want a 'chilled out' atmosphere at a football match?

On a beach or the day after a couple of E's maybe but never at a football match.

[Skiptonrover]

Well I will be chilled anything else is a oddity to me, if we was all the same life would be boring.

Rovers fans who are yet to purchase a ticket for Saturday's game against Wigan Athletic can do so on the day.

Supporters should note that it will be cash payment on the turnstiles only and there will be a £2 price increase for adults and seniors.

Matchday prices:

Adults £27
Seniors (65+) £17
Under-18s £10
Under-11s £5
Under-5s £2

Rovers will be roared on by over 2,500 supporters at the DW Stadium.

Those match day prices have put me off going completely. Having just been paid, I would have gone today, but not at nearly £30. It’s League One, not top flight football afterall. 

It’s especially annoying, considering I remember when all the local top flight games used to be £10.

Get to my seat early, they play some great northern soul records

Scandalous pricing as you say for third tier football.

I think Wigan are this leauges best side and will eventually win the leauge .. i never like losing no what matter what game even if it's a pre season Friendly but today I'm giving us a pass as I really don't see anything other then a drubbing

Yet we finished above them last season. It would either point to poor recruitment (considering we spent more than them), poor managing or a mixture of both that we are now so far behind them. 

[JacknOry]

Has to be the most anticipated lineup of the season so far. it will go a very long way to telling us what to expect today.

[Hasta]

Antonsson and Conway in for Graham and Chapman.

[G Somerset Rover]

Chapman and Graham benched. Antonsson up front on his own - can’t see the ball sticking much with him. Poor selection from TM for me.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Well I predicted Conway would start. Didn't see Graham being dropped though. 

Very conservative selection.

Ffs...

[Madon]

Pathetic lineup! If we lose today then it's definitely Mowbray out for me. What is he playing at??

[Hasta]

As the Boro fan said on the other thread, he worries about other people's line ups too much instead of letting other teams worry about ours.

 

[booth]

Tinkering for the sake of it.

[JacknOry]

And he tinkers once again. Keep a winning team ffs.

[AdamRochina]

That line up is a @#/?ing joke I stick by my earlier statement 

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Inexplicable selections.  Conway I can just about understand but I would have had Chapman starting myself. Antonnson up front on his own ? I just don't get that one at all.
