Thread | The Towen staff getting 2 tickets thing for the Scum game..
at 19:32 26 Apr 2024
..Man U announced today that despite every year for cup finals the Man U entire staff receive 2 complimentary tickets, along with free hotel and coach travel, this year each staff member will be given just 1 single ticket and must contribute £20 for coach travel.
It says two things really:
1) That 2 comp tickets per staff for an away end of 2k is and was crazy.
2) Man U giving their staff just 1 ticket for a 32k allocation is a bold change. Especially when they’ve always been so overly generous (the complimentary hotel is somewhat OTT). That said, I don’t disagree with him when 30k season ticket holders might miss out at United for a cup final ticket but the security guards wife can go (in recent years).
I’m over it but when I saw that Radcliffe said that today, I thought it was interesting enough to post. [Post edited 26 Apr 19:35]

Thread | Scenario 8293
at 19:11 25 Apr 2024
If Leeds lose tomorrow, would we take a draw at Hull?
Would mean we’d need (maximum) just a draw and a win from the last 2 games. With Hull probably the hardest of the three games left, a draw there if Leeds have been beaten would put us level on points but with a worse GD to Leeds but with that Coventry game in hand. Another point there and go to Portman Road next week needing to beat Huddersfield to guarantee a place in the Premier League.
It just starts with the, ‘would we take a point at Hull if Leeds have lost’, question?
In theory, I think I’d take that. |

We could be mathematically promoted by this time next week.
Leeds pick up just 1 point from Boro and QPR and we beat Hull. And Southampton fail to win at both Leicester & Stoke

What’s the biggest match for us? The one where we will all know we’ve a real chance of seeing a result go our way.
I’d say Leeds away at Boro has a chance of being fruitful.
As a completely random note, we could do with QPR losing this week to Preston. If they lose, they’ll go in to that Friday night game the week after against Leeds knowing a win keeps them up. But that a loss puts them up sh*t creek.If they win this week, they'll be almost definitely safe and on the beach. |

Thread | Win 2 of our last 3 games and we’re all but promoted
at 09:59 14 Apr 2024
Would take a very very unlikely set of results for us to get to 95 now and NOT go up.
Because even if Southampton win all 5 games left for them and get to 96 points, they’ll have beaten Leeds in that which means the latter can only get to 93. They’d have also beaten Leicester which would mean Leicester would need 7 points from WBA, Preston (a) and Blackburn. Which is tough.
If Southampton can beat Leeds and Leicester but drop a point somewhere else (any of the other three games), we’d be up 100% with 2 wins from here.
It feels like a bad result yesterday but in context, we’ve gained on Leeds and Leicester this week when they played two teams battling relegation. It’s a great weekend for us really. |

As many of you might remember, I’ve been excellent over the years with this race with multiple winners posted on TWTD. In the last few years alone I’ve had One For Arthur (tipped on here at 25/1 antepost) and Tiger Roll (5/1) win as well as place money for 6 others from 10 horses. Last years two tips Vanillier and Gaillard Du Mesnil were second and third at 20/1 and 10/1 respectively.
This year, I have backed two:
- Kitty’s Light antepost at 28/1
- Mr Incredible at 16/1
Both each way
Full prediction:
1) Mr Incredible
2) Kitty’s Light
3) Delta Work
4) Vanillier
5) I Am Maximus |

Thread | Think we were noticeably poorer today..
at 15:24 6 Apr 2024
..because it was Morsys worst game for us.
When he plays bad, it’s noticeable for me as he’s our most important player. I don’t mean to particularly single him out as they were all dreadful but he’s too important to how we play to overcome it when he has a very rare off day. Same thing happened at Leeds away earlier in the season when he had an off game.

That was absolutely terrible. Awful performance, terrible result.
Very Ipswich to save our worst performance of the season (perhaps Leeds away asides) for such a big game, and against that lot.
Really disappointing. |

Hadn’t done enough away in my name (done enough but not on my own account because of work and having to buy late often). Fancy us to win. Been to their place 4 or 5 times and never seen us win and never seen us beat them at PR either.
If I don’t hear through the TV ‘Top of the league, at Carrow Road for 90 minutes’ something has gone seriously wrong

Hugely concerning outcome for the fate of the UK justice system weren’t it? Two juries and two different results. If that’s how every jury is then it’s a bit of a worry.
Think it was mansalugher myself. That Ricky bloke in the green shirt is being slaughtered on Twitter but his ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ argument was spot on. There’s no way there was truly enough evidence that it was more than a loss of control. [Post edited 29 Feb 22:05]

Thread | Anyone fancy a couple of Cheltenham bets? 🐎
at 18:20 24 Feb 2024
With just 17 days until the best week of the year, I thought I’d throw TWTD 3 bets for some early interest.
Bet 1 - A ‘bankers’ multiple (Non Runner No Bet):
Supreme Novice Hurdle (Tuesday) - Ballyburn
Mares Hurdle (Tuesday) - Lossiemouth
Browns Advisory Novice Chase (Wednesday) - Fact To File
Champion Chase (Wednesday) - El Fabiolo
Triumph Hurdle (Friday) - Sir Gino
Gold Cup (Friday) - Galopin Des Champs
Mares Chase (Friday) - Dinoblue
Best NRNB odds - Ladbrokes & Coral
£0.20 Win Super Heinz (£24) and a £1 Win accumulator for a total stake of £25 returns £363.73 if all win.
Bet 2 - A ‘Rommy’s main fancies’ Heinz:
Supreme Novice (Tuesday) - Ballyburn
Baring Bingham Novice (Wednesday) - Ile Atlanqiue
Brown Advisory Novice (Wednesday) - Fact To File
Turners Novice (Thursday) - Gaelic Warrior
Triumph Hurdle (Friday) - Sir Gino
Hunter Chase (Friday) - Ferns Lock
Best NRNB odds - Ladbrokes & Coral
A 24p Win Heinz (£13.68) and a £1.32 Win accumulator for a total stake of £15 returns £3053.98 if they all win.
Bet 3 - Each Way Handicap Lucky 31:
Ultima Chase (Tuesday) - The Goffer
Coral Cup (Wednesday) - Doddiethegreat
Grand Annual (Wednesday) - Saint Roi
County Hurdle (Friday) - King of Kingsfield
Martin Pipe (Friday) - No Ordinary Joe
Best NRNB odds - Coral & Ladbrokes
A 23p Each Way Lucky 31 (£14.26) and a 37p E/W accumulator for a total stake of £15 pays £84,134.34 if they all win.
The 3 bets here come to £25, £15 and £15 for a total of £55. Of course, you can go bigger (like myself with the top bet today for £125 or smaller. The amounts I’ve put were purely to give you an idea on returns for each bet should the best happen and all win in each bet.
As always, please bet what you can afford. And don’t shoot the messenger. I just know over the last ten years, I’ve had plenty of people asking for horses on here and twitter in advance of the festival. [Post edited 24 Feb 18:22]

Can you imagine if we win the next three?
Not only would we have beaten the scum but we’d put daylight between us and Leeds, gone top on Boxing Day with a win against Leicester and be looking at a run of games after that on paper that we really should be winning.
Even the most pessimistic amongst you would surely BELIEVE! |

Thread | Anyone been to Turkey?
at 18:43 29 Nov 2023
Thoughts?
Booked a 5 star gaf all inclusive for a week at the end of April in Akbuk for a grand. Seemed like an amazing deal. 6 bars, 6 restaurants, 4 pools etc. The area is called Akbuk.
Someone today though told me that there must be some kind of catch to get it that cheap. Is the area a rough part of Turkey or something?
Any help to put my mind at ease would be appreciated.
As it goes, I also realised today that the week spans across the last day of the season. So I will need us to be promoted before then. Albeit it’s for her birthday so I couldn’t change the week but just my luck it’ll be the day we finally make the premier league and I miss out. |
