[KilkennyOx]

Now THAT is the definition of 'First World Problems'

Or.. will the coach be showing the 2nd half of the Lions rugby test decider ?

What’s the best pub for Saturday then? Last time I went in 15/16 I don’t remember there being great choice!

Suggestion that there's two players unavailable for Saturday due to Covid protocols? Hangover from the 12 that isolated before or two new players? As long as it's not Seddon or two of the CBs I think we've got more than enough cover.

Anyone remember the Joe Riley incident at Cambridge when we got beat 5-1? Seem to remember he got into a spat with the fans behind the goal on the day?

Brophy – 'Really good atmosphere' at U's ahead of new season

Newly-promoted United get their League One campaign underway this weekend

I wonder if we can think up an appropriate chant for Brophy?

Sounds like it’s two new ones. Holland is one.

In the iFollow interview Robinson references Holland and says that if he can't play then we've got Whyte. Sounds like he hadn't completely written them off so maybe they've had contact with others rather than being positive themselves.

 

[Mad Dog]

So many options, I've even overlooked Henry!
But I wanna see pace against Cambridge, and if Bodin is fully fit and match sharp, surely he starts on the left, especially if Holland is out.

What about Agyei though?!?!?

Covid. Isolating or waiting a test result. Either way, not available for Saturday. There appears to be one other but no name as yet.

FFS, cheers. How many teams will also be affected by this ...........or turn a blind eye.

Harrison tested positive the other day. Have we finally signed him?

Beware of road works on the A4421 at Newton Purcell.
It is closed all weekend due to HS2 bridge works.

 

[Mad Dog]

My god have we got options this season!
I don't think I've ever known a time when we have had so many options for so many lineups and formations, it's very exciting!

I'll stop now!

Good shout, Google directions go that way, I expect my TomTom will other opinions!

One alternative option:
M40,A43,A421 to Finmere, then continue on original route

As someone with an underlying health condition, I'm not really in a fit position to start going to football matches, not to mention my only way to travel is via public transport which makes it even more of a risk.

Just seems so short-sighted, especially given last season I was able to spend hundreds watching and supporting the club. Essentially they're putting me into a position where it'd make more sense for me to get a robust VPN and just buy a non-UK season ticket that way. I'd rather give money to the club, but seems like they're not giving me a huge amount of choice.

this is an excellent point

Having stayed in the travelodge up the road from the ground for work a few times there are quite a few within easy walk of about a mile and a half but only a couple relatively near the ground on the Newmarket Road which having been in them won’t hold many. If you want an actual drink rather than stand in a queue waiting for one I would go nearer to the city centre.
