MK is more en route for me, crazy that it brings it down to £60 return from there and makes the total about £75 when direct is now £120 on the same website. Mad business, we are all subsidising rail companies to be absolute shite and make a profit.
From PNE forum. The gist is, they’re not going down and they’re not going up, so this weekend is a BIG weekend for them. Given we fly under most other fans’ radar, they’re underestimating us, but there’s a few in the know who have been tracking us.
Actually, it seems we’ve actually got the bigger decisions to make than they have, as we’re still chasing that automatic spot.
My Crawley ticket came today, so we’re losing that game, but thankfully I won’t be going to PNE this weekend so we still have a chance of that 5th round 👍
I reckon we'll look to put out the strongest team we can. We only have 4 (potential 5 if we win here) midweek fixtures left and the transfer window has given us a good range of depth and options.
If fit, Joe Low should now play as I'm guessing all potential transfer bids that came in for him had that addition value that he wasn't cup-tied
Will be interesting was CB’s Dodds selects at the weekend and if Low and Taylor start. Will be harsh on Sonny but I guess that’s what happens when you have a talented squad.
In Sonny's defence, I think he is a seasoned player who'll know that he can't play every game due to fatigue (he's almost 34) and that Low & Taylor have the partnership between them to perform & are a slightly improvement on what he offers. However, if Dodds is looking for leadership outside of Scowen, Grimmer & Leahy, he can't go wrong with Bradley
agreed. We needed to keep him quiet to avoid having to let him go for eye watering sums and derailing promotion. Now he can be fully revealed to the world - no longer King but Emperor!
6 goals in the cup run that takes us to Wembley and another 15 in the league as we go up on 102 points.
Anyone going to the Preston game with a spare seat, and willing to take someone along with them? I was hoping to get the train but I think I'd probably miss the last one home if it goes to extra time. I promise I'm good company, and I will contribute towards fuel money!
The train prices are a disgrace, over £80 when I looked from Wycombe, how can they justify that?
I'd have rather gone with the Indies, but I am on the Officials for £42. Reasonable but not a bargain. Looking forward to it. I hope we go as strong as possible and win so I can make the rearranged Birmingham date.
Train prices are indeed a disgrace. At peak times a London travel card from Bicester is £83 (yet if you split the fare it works out £15 return Bicester-Wycombe and about £40 travel card from Wycombe). We are all being taken for absolute mugs by these train companies.
Glad we taking a good crowd up there, wish I was able to go. There's no doubting it's a huge game for the club. What a starter for Dodds! A win and he becomes only the 2nd manager/coach in our history to take us to the 5th round.
Can’t make it but great to see we’ll have a good turnout. There’s been so much going on that this game arguably slipped under the radar but it’s a huge opportunity with so many tantalising subplots. Bring it on!

ticket prices confirmed - £10 for adults, bargain price!
Absolute steel. I paid about £48 for me and my 18 year old for the Pompey game. Now just £11 as under 19’s just £1. Thank you Preston
Superb. We may have to request a bigger allocation at this rate.
Mk to Preston return any off peak train ( in case of ET or pens) booked a few days ago with (Senior) Railcard £66.99

Taylor is cup tied.
Didn't Realise that - thanks!
Very poor of West Brom to get him cup tied in the month we leant him back!
It was the only match he played for West Brom. He scored, but they were well beaten on the day.
Yep was a bit annoying he played just once there when returning.
Trying to remember as a comparison back in the day, how much Hayes played when Charlton took him back from a really great short loan spell for us
Remember being gutted.
We have a decent squad now so we should go for it. Kone off the bench for a hattrick.
The King is one off 20 for the season in all comps
But is there anywhere where you can watch it from the sofa, together with multiple beers and bottle of champagne when we beat them ?
You can tell that Dry January has passed 😁😁

”And we open the bidding at £30M plus add/ons”
And he says 'I owe it to Wycombe to stay and help them win the Championship...'
😉
If you can access any of these, as far as I can tell they are all showing it
Anyone know if Disney+ is fooled by a VPN?
And/or has anyone worked out the best way to stream it through one of the other options listed above?
You might be able to get a month pass for ESPN relatively cheap (obviously with the need for a VPN)

The family and I have been given tickets in the home end with some friends up there. It’s gonna be hard to stay quiet when the King puts us 5-0 up.

Apparently 835 tickets sold for this one already.
Think shows plenty of people still care about the FA Cup!
Should be a great atmosphere. Really looking forward to it!

I just signed in to my Disney+ from 'Brazil' and the interface is completely the same - no live sport options unfortunately.
