Well only dystopian because it showed a well researched reality about something we did come pretty close to a few times in the 80s and how ridiculous any pretence of “winning” was It also brilliantly exposed the pointlessness of Protect and Survive and all that supposed war prep. It went to shit...

Yes and now starting to appear in French motorway services- places where you could get really nice fresh meals for a decent price - and a beer or wine with it! . Soon will be all gone once the US fast food places take over.

Pisstaking aside this forum contains knowledgeable and articulate members on all sorts of relevant areas - Finance,Marketing ,Retail, Event management etc. I think it is our responsibility now to come up with a really decent set of questions before the next forum. Always feels like we ask the...

At the raucous forum at the Village hotel with Fisher and Garlick trying to convince people a new stadium wasn’t just a fantasy - there was someone asking if the pies there could be locally sourced.

Remember the short lived Season Ticket only section in the concourse? That had what I believe are known as Poseur Tables set up. Be a bit difficult now with 3/4 of the attendance having a ST.

Absolute arrogant wankers. For all its faults the PL hasn’t got a problem with Bournemouth , Burnley or Luton being a part of it despite them having not much more than L1 stadiums. The game is on its arse- even the 6 nations didn’t drum up any excitement this year despite the broadsheets and the...

The academy twitter feed posted a build up and team sheet and then shut up shop for the night and never mentioned the game!

On Saturday they arrived just before 11 . They came on a convoy in 2 groups a couple of minutes apart. Lampards Bentley was in the second group. I assume they meet somewhere first (Ryton? Higgs?) to make sure they arrive together. Not sure 11 o’clock is right for 3pm. Surely they would have...

Well yes. We had TWO nearly 20 goal strikers last season and didn’t really get near the playoffs in the end.

Have to smile at Derby thinking they are world beaters after shithousing 2 wins and then everyone else wins to leave them still where they were. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It should be the cheapest hospitality not the most expensive because no one really wants to sit up there at those prices .The real answer would be to move Legends or Club Coventry up there but suspect no one would want to move from blocks B or E which are the best seats in the ground. Shame...

I distinctly remember some Robbie Savage shithousery at Pride Park when they beat us probably around 2010?

You would want to get at least 2 years in the PL under your belt before you even begin to think about this.

It’s ok - same as anywhere in the ground on the first couple of rows. If it rains you get wet though and the seats are a bit manky. You do feel really close to the managers and subs though.

So even with this it requires an away team to bring 3500ish to hit the 30k attendance. No wonder it’s such a rarity.

Unfortunately it’s not some meaningless end of season dead rubber where a creditable draw can be played out and all sides leave with some dignity. It’s an absolutely crucial game for us to keep piling up points before our “tough fixtures” It’s also pretty important for Stoke to at least get a...

The margin on cheap clothing is phenomenal. Especially when not sold as cheap clothing. With the increased Sky deal, best ever attendance figures and other commercial activity, this must be really helping the balance sheet ( although clearly not as much as premium player sale)

Well the system needs an upgrade then ( I suspect it’s all down to technical limitations) The whole hospitality system is so manual- you can buy hospitality tickets online but not choose your own seat which is mad given it’s the most expensive part of the ground. I think a lot of season ticket...

I don’t think it’s for the club to dictate what supporters choose to do on these occasions.

Still advertising Mahou, balcony street and the Mill as being available . Can’t rely on counting dots in hospitality as it’s more about lounge/catering capacity . However expect these to be close to sell out. Be nice to see the Balcony full for once I wonder what attendance figure is break even...
