Bit we're going to anyway, in fact it's going to be a lot worse because it will now be a midweek fixture with 5000 fewer people, less from corporate and an EFL fine to pay. I'm still hopeful the game will go ahead. The financial hit would be significant.

This is an absolute clusterfuck. So many people will have spent so much money making arrangements to be here Sunday. There will be people coming from overseas that will have spent more than the cost of a season ticket to be here for this one game. Whatever they think they can do to get the game...

Better for who though? Not better for the club, for its reputation, for the finances, for fitness and momentum and most importantly for the supporters of both clubs. There are people literally flying in for the game - I get that he is angry, by all means sound off a bit, but unless it is...

Surely recent weather would have been good for the pitch? Plenty of light for growing and the pitch should get all the water it needs via the sprinklers that can run 24/7 if needed.

Of course, but it sounds to me Robins doesn't want to play it. When the home manager declares in the press the pitch is not safe to play on, that will influence the referee for sure, Seems unlikely this goes ahead. Came home from work tonight with a spring in my step, but weekend well and...

Got to play it surely? It may be in a poor condition, but there was no suggestion it was unsafe when those gammy-eared fuckers were rolling about on it the other day. Would be a big financial hit - 5000 at least off the gate for a rearranged game, a hefty fine from the EFL and fixture...

Must have been that. Back on sale now at £27 so guess bottom tier had sold.

Tickets have been showing as sold out since last night. Obviously they're not, but any ideas why they have been taken off sale?

Ipswich are also the only club in Suffolk with an 800K population to draw on, with very little competition. This point always gets missed. Take teams like Middlesbrough, you go to Stockton or Redcar, they are solid Boro towns. Nuneaton, Atherstone, Stratford? Not nearly as much. We are so...

Were there? Don't the SBT and EST (club travel) use Ridleys? That's a Warwickshire company but coaches running from Cov. Same with SBA who use coach leasing based out of Nuneaton. Wouldn't judge that based on the place name on the back of the coach tbh. I'd say all but a couple of coaches...

Just isn't true. We have very good support from within the city boundary. Don't kniw where people get this from. Virtually everyone I know in the city follows the club in some form. The issue is more that we don't attract more from outside the city, particularly north Warwickshire. When I got...

One person threw a smoke bomb and it landed on the edge of the pitch. If home supporters around the country were to wet the bed everytime an away fan released a smoke bomb, and demanded reduced allocations because of it, away ends would be empty. Don't care for them myself, too busy going...

But the evidence is that they are buying tickets. If we have a good season (big if), there is every chance we can exceed the 21K average in 2006 and it would then be the highest since the late 70s. Put that into context, we could this season see our best attendance average in nearly 50 years -...

That's bizarre. Lived here most of my life and I don't know any United or Liverpool fans, although I tend to stay off facebook. A few years ago I was on the road a lot with my job. The Coventry office was full of Cov fans, plus a few randoms, one or two Leeds fans actually. The other offices...

This is so true. Watched my daughter's training this morning (under 14s), and of the 12 replica shirts being worn, nine were City tops.

Population of NE England is around 2.7 million. You have 4 clubs, Newcastle, Sunderland, Boro and Hartlepool. Population of West Mids about 2.9 million and you have Villa, Albion, Wolves, Birmingham City, Coventry and Walsall. There are more non-league clubs down here too, plus a more...

Seriously? We're surrounded by clubs. I've seen people use the city/population thing to suggest we should be much better supported than Middlesbrough. But Middlesbrough has a bigger urban area and much bigger wider catchment area with very few clubs to compete with. Our crowds are entirely...

It means nothing. Nottingham is by far bigger the bigger place - nearly double the size. It is next level stupidity to not see that and use it as a stick to beat our fanbase with.

Yep. Burnley have never had a higher average gate than us when we've played at the same level.
