Wasn't it New York Addick who once called for an away fixture to be an "Operation Match" in the hope that eleven players could be persuaded to turn up?
The only "Operation only here on a freebie game and I look a complete tool with my Operation never go away games t-shirt from the club shop" we have won was Port Vale away in 1998. 1-0 win Mendonca pen.
There have been plenty others over the years and each one has ended in defeat. Apart from a 1-1 draw up at Forest I think.

Anyone remember the 4 - 1 defeat up at Everton in 99? The toffeemen took great delight singing "Here on a freebie, your only ere on a freebie"
Wouldn't go if you paid me. Norwich was the final straw for me. I won't waste money going away again whilst Parkinson is in charge, it's a struggle to get up for the home games these days, never mind away.

I doubt we'd take 600. People are royally sick of it.
I reckon we could have as many as 7-800 for this one, maybe 1200 if the club pays for everything, programmes, half time Mars Bar... :)
Southampton is my once a season boys weekend this season, booking the hotel when im back at work.
No more "Operations", thank you very much!
I don't think we have ever won an "operation" game and also I don't think even at a tenner a throw you'd get more than 500 fans going.
