Fair point re the stadium deal. Hope you're right and I'm worrying about nowt. Thought it was a real opportunity to increase st sales notably and get a sense that opportunity has been missed a bit. We'll see.

We put ours on sale in early March last season, long before we knew what division we'd be in. Prices were published weeks ago anyway. Playoff final was last Saturday and it's Thursday tomorrow. Still no announcement. It's all a bit weird. Maybe there is an explanation and it will come out, or...

Middlesbrough put their season tickets for next season on sale in February. Sunderland put theirs on sale in March. Luton did pause.

Any evidence is anecdotal, I could give you several examples, but you'll just say they wouldn't have bought one anyway, so it's pointless. The idea that events and circumstances don't impact on ST sales is odd. You're saying that the positivity and prospect of PL football wouldn't have...

Not if they had kids. I bought the PL package, but no way I was going to pay £1000 for my two youngsters.

Of course they do. It's not all or nothing, these people will already be casual fans for the most part, they will go to games. Some will be 50/50 on whether to commit for the season and can be swayed by events. If we announce next week we're keeping Gus, you're saying not a single supporter will...

Imagine thinking people buying something on impulse doesn't exist 😂

They are the sort of fans who do 8 or 9 games a season and who cannot make midweek games because of work. They were all set to bite the bullet a few weeks ago as they rode the wave of euphoria, but have now pulled back and had second thoughts. These are the sort of people we need to convince...

Exactly. Unfortunately I know people who already have.

Last season we put them on sale on 9th March, long before it was known what league we would be in (we were 3 points off the play offs as late as April 15th with 5 games left). It is June tomorrow. The issue that people are highlighting is that the delays will result in lost sales, which was...

The Cat A games at the end of the season masked the fact that there were some poor gates earlier in the season for the £33 games (notably down on the previous season). Burnley, Bristol City and even Albion were really poor gates. Sunderland and Norwich also disappointing. To increase prices...

Definitely lost revenue by not releasing earlier, and they are in danger of missing another payday if they don't release tomorrow. A bit odd this.

Yeah, started taking my lad away from the age of 7. Nearly 15 now and it was the first time he'd ever sat. Needless to say he hated it.

Like I said above, didn't see anything. Left Cov at 7, in the pub from 9 and everything good natured all day. Sad to hear there were a couple of isolated incidents. The only asb I saw all weekend was on Sunday having a drink in the Rocket near Euston. Wolves fans having a cocaine orgy in the...

This issue only ever seems to get mentioned when those who usually never watch the club outside of Coventry go to a Wembley final. 20+ years of everyone standing at every away game and no issues or complaints.

Didn't see a single issue all day. A credit to the club and the city.

Genuine attempt for the ball. Yellow at most.

This is just not realistic tbh. Keep both, paying them prem wages and also invest in the squad? Where is that money coming from? DK is not a Saudi prince. Our total wage bill is what, about £12 million? Paying Gus and Vik the kind of wages they might command in the PL would swallow around £6-7...

Yep, Leicester can raise £100m from the sale of their major assets quite easily, could make serious reductions to their wage bill, would still have a strong squad and a comparatively large budget. I'm not sure they're quite as much in the shit as people are making out.

There was a post on here a couple of weeks back suggesting the playoff pot, semis and final, was split between all competing clubs, but that could be wrong looking at that.
