Tbf isn't the bulk of the cost for godiva for paying the performers? That's also a 3 day event with multiple vendors involved. I suspect it would be ticketed in a way to cover costs, but there would be big knock on benefits for the city. I don't know exact details, just the broad plan...

It's already planned. Nobody makes any money from this, the volume of people will be huge and the logistics difficult, so it makes sense to manage that within the city centre. Stage it at the CBS and you'd be looking at many hours of road closures and you'd have huge numbers all day to manage...

Yeah, it'll be a big day and loads will come out for it, but if the finish event is ticketed, there will be priority. They may up the numbers anyway, 50K could fit into 10% of the park.

Should we see it out, celebration will be May 4th, finishing at the memorial park. Enemy will play. Problem is, they are planning for up 150,000 people and they only have a 40,000 safety certificate for events at the park. Obviously not everyone will head there and many will just line the route...

We shouldn't gloss over the fact we were poor today. Way too passive for much of it. Might have had the better of the game overall, but didn't do enough. No need to panic though. We'll go to Swansea with a few out by the looks of it. Keep our heads and get a result there, don't want to go...

Yeah, might work in our favour. Different game though and they're likely to approach it with a different mindset to the game in the week. We'll see I suppose. But if we're on it, we should win the game.

Close to a must win for them, expect them to have a right go, and press high, and we've not always coped well with that (could be wrong and maybe they'll sit, but can't see it). Could work in our favour though. It will be the polar opposite of the game Wednesday. Need to match their energy and...

Don't really get the Wrexham hate. It's a small town community football club having its moment in the sun. Not the first club to benefit from lots of sidden investment and exposure and won't be the last. Don't find myself wanting them to win but not looking for them to fail. Know a few Wrexham...

Like a training session that. Proof (if it were needed) that we're the best team in this league. The table says it, all the stats say it, time to believe it. Am I still worried? Yep, but the fat lady has just put her corset on.

We've got the highest League average, we're selling out most games (whiles the likes of Boro, Hull and others don't) we've sold the full available allocation at 28 of our last 30 away games (the two we didn't were Tuesday games at Millwall and Preston where still took a total of nearly 8000)...

Nobody is drooling over anyone are they? I've just seen a few people say how impressive Boro are and that they're a good side, because they are. We've been the best side in the league to this point, that's clear, but there is still 21% of the season left to go. I'm not at all convinced 88...

Difficult in the sense it's hard to dominate and play fluently. Awful pitch and games there always seem scrappy and congested. They've cruised through this so far tbf but can't see QPR being this passive 2nd half.

They've been excellent. Difficult place to.play and they look comfortable. They're a very good side, no harm in saying that and thoroughly deserve this lead.

It's mainly because ST holders are counted in midweek gates, if not for than there is a big difference. The actual turn out is often far below the official attendance. Not always, and we are shielded from that given our situation. But if clubs are only selling a handful of tickets above STs...

There are too many games already. Midweek game turn outs have been really poor across the league all season, clubs are barely selling any tickets above their season ticket base. We're the best supported club this season, going for the title at the tail end of the season, and have barely sold a...
