Yes. And, if you have a hatchback, trap either end of the scarf across the back windscreen. Used to be a common sight on the motorways.

I used to do that all the time. Then I stopped going to away days and it felt like it would be wrong to do it this season.

I may do it tomorrow.

My assigned seat appears to be in Row B - so hopefully that means second row, and I will be able to sit AND enjoy a view of the game.

Fingers crossed.

Everyone COULD sit.

But not everyone CAN stand.

Just sayin’…

People who want to stand can stand at the back

People who want to sit can sit anywhere that isn't the back.

In our away ends, all the people who want to stand do so more or less together anyway. It's never caused problems at well-attended seated away games like Swindon.

That’s fine by me - so long as assigned seat numbers don’t get enforced tomorrow. Like I said - fingers crossed we get relaxed stewarding. A total sell-out would make things tricky, with no spare room for “common-sense relocation”, to satisfy both standers and sitters.

Ah yes I fully agree

I got me a Chrysler, it sits about 20, so hurry up…

Never felt as nervous for a game as this. Not for any of the playoff finals, not for previous final day survival missions, nothing comes close. IF we do this, the chaos at the final whistle will be something to behold.

I'll bring the jukebox money.

I'll actually be racing to the Scottish border from Aberdeen so that I can hopefully get somewhere with decent WiFi and watch it on iFollow. Otherwise, hopefully 5Live will do a decent job of updates.

Godspeed all Robins of Cheltenham. May your voyage be bountiful!

Well here we go. Safe journey to all what ever route and means of travel

Second that - travel safe Robins. And shout yourself hoarse today.

It is our cup final and we need the footballing Gods with us

Hope everyone there has a day to remember.

Had a few ciders on the train and I’m not feeling any less nervous.

Im dreading the 90 minutes.

Have a safe journey there and back - I'm still unreasonably nervous. Need a couple of good memories like Pack's FK Vs Torquay years ago to settle the nerves...

Plenty of room in the car park at the moment. Coffee, food and toilets now required - and not necessarily in that order...

More of a party atmosphere than I thought... Thought we'd all be sat here biting our fingernails!

Stewards trying to burst balloons and inflatables, but in a non-confrontational way.

Bagged a seat on front row, so hopefully will get a decent view sat down. Only worry now is if I will get crushed if… WHEN Cheltenham score!
