ASLEF are the drivers union so I would say its very likely that a lot of disruption will take place.

 

[Peterdev]

Dreadful place to get to by car too.
Horrible ground as well

Steve Evans lambasts the referee, again.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Steve can’t wait for next week and issues a rallying call.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Steve Evans: "Get your tickets - we need everyone!"

Stevenage now sit in third in League One and take on second-placed Oxford United on Saturday…

Less than 100 tickets remaining as of this morning so looking like a sold out away end for the mighty yellows!

Reading that interview with Steve Evans I just had an impression of either cilla black or Bruce Forsyth couldn't work out which oh and we haven't actually spent anything on transfer fees this season so I don't understand how he thinks we've spent a lot with our new owners even tho we haven't got new owners

SOLD OUT

Can't believe I'm defending the fat crook, but I don't think he said anything this time that wasn't true. Just looking at our accounts over the past few years, we are spending substantially beyond our means so it's hard to argue that our new owners haven't invested significantly in our team. And then most of the rest of his interview (at least the bits about our game) was about what a good manager Manning is, and how idiotic of MKD it was to sack him.

If he wasn't such an unsavoury A*****e most of the time, Evans would actually be a decent lower league manager. He's done a stunning job at Stevenage.

 

[West Oxon U’s]

Steve Evans has an impressive 52 per cent win rate at Stevenage.

It's the same old Evans schtick every time we play them - 'they're a big club, had success in the past, spent big money' and so on. Oh and 'they are playing little old us, with limited resources' - it never changes, he's been doing it for years.

This year he being trying to present himself as reformed character who has tempered his actions - not so. It will be the same whining and moaning at the officials - every time the 4th official turns around Evans or Rayner will be in his face. Watching Appleton, who refused to take the bait, was always entertaining. Not so Robinson.

You're right in that he has a good managerial record generally but also in what an odious person he generally is.

Nothing sweeter than a win against a Steve Evans side!

I've lost count of the number of touchline bans he's had for abusing the match officials, but according to Mous, he was still at it again when Pompey went there earlier in the season.

If he could only rein himself in once in a while, he clearly knows how to recruit and set up a team on a budget.

I was wondering if anyone would have a ticket for the game they'd be willing to sell? Please DM me if they do
