I think this is an issue for sure, but we wouldn't even be having this discussion if the prices weren't so eye-watering. We sold out on a Monday night in the Championship in February. We could have sold this, but at £55 for the cheapest available seat it's not happening. I know at lot of semi...

This site gives an insight into just how much gates fluctuate over time, and particularly just how damaging that 2012-2019 period was. This is very apparent when using the compare tool - say Cov & Leicester - it shows we had a higher average in 60s, 70s and 80s (roughly the same in the 90s) and...

Not sure we should write Milan off. He's had a difficult start, but I think that because we expected him to step up has upped the scrutiny a touch. I am confident he can adjust. He goes straight back in for me. Concerning that some are calling for our record signing to be used as some sort of...

The consensus before the season was that home games were key and we wouldn't get much away from home. I think we might have a bit of joy on the road, seen it already with Man CIty and Forest where the crowds were flat and expectations maxed out. We might catch a few. That said, that run of 3...

Yesterday was class. Not just the goal, but the backing throughout and the complete lack of negativity and sense of togetherness in that away end. Low expectations can do that I suppose. Man CIty was similar, we just didn't have that moment. Need to bottle this and carry it through the season...

There is no mystery here. It's one thing to sell 4000 home tickets for a league game at £50. But when you're trying to sell 28,000 from scratch on a Wednesday in a competition that doesn't excite many - you have to incentivise. The fact it is Villa will only raise tickets so much as we have...

This is just a myth. Even the game at Millwall the vast majority turned up. That's a 30 ponit game in SE London on a Tuesday. For a home game the numbers would be small, and even then it's perfectly feasible for us to deduct points for non scanned tickets. I would rather have had tickets...

Think people will be surprised how many tickets shift tomorrow. There are thousands of ST holders who haven't bothered thus far and some will make a call on it tomorrow, plus others now that the process for getting tickets without having to build a network of people with supporter numbers is...

Probably not, they will be selling tickets on the day, but will need your supporter number for previous purchase history. I've maxed out the number of tickets I can buy, otherwise I'd help you out

Some are not updating on Google wallets though. It's no drama but that is the case. Mine hasn't been, but I've justed cleared app cache in device settings and it appears. For others, if you have android and auto update not working, try force stop of the app, or clearing cache (but not data) and...

Well it doesn't, I think people know how to use a toggle switch. Mine still said Hull against Brighton. Still scanned though so I'll just leave it, but auto update not working for some.

It won't though. A fair few will shift tomorrow, it'll be 25K+ (know a few going that haven't got tickets yet and a few ST holders who are 50/50 and will decide tomorrow). We had gates around 20K in the season or two after covid where the place was rocking. It will be very lively tomorrow.

We're miles off. We might break records this season. Get promoted to the PL and your team should look nothing like the one that got you there, but I see essentially the same team. Where the £100m has gone I'm not sure. Called it when I saw the team, the plucky cup tie type losing performance...

it's built, link in original post. taken a while to do this tbf and will take a while to take off, but it's live now.

Ah, so this is a bit of a plug, hope you don't mind this one time Nick. I often see people asking for away pub recommendations; I do it often, and the online guides can be a bit flaky. Have decided to build a new, comprehensive one that updates frequently. Hopefully some of you will find this...
