A load of city fans in the pub just decided they are not going to the game. Something just not right with this selection.

Are we now saying then that it is no longer possible for a 2nd tier club to be self-sufficient? That to have any chance Championship clubs need subsidising, either through parachute payments or via a wealthy benefator? I'm asking the question but I guess the answer is obvious. It's a really...

Sure I'm not the only one to say this, but I really fancy us tomorrow. Expect the away to be rocking and just feel it will all come together.

Stop using the word toxic as I'm not sure you know what it means. So far everyone in this thread has predicted we'll stay up, and crowd firmly behind the team Wednesday. So toxic! If anyone is being unduly negative it is you. Cheer up.

Yep, the amount of stewards and police last night was insane. I know they brought a few dickheads last season, but on a Wednesday night it ain't happening, so police it accordingly and use your noggin. How much say the club have on this I'm not sure though.

I know we've got bigger issues at the moment and this is minor in the scheme of things, but disappointed to see so many empty seats in Singer's Corner last night. The decision to cap capacity and stop all sales in 14 and 15 when many seats are unsold is a mistake. This is the one part of the...

I willing to accept that it went flat at times, but that's a million miles from being toxic as someone suggested. I thought we were poor too. Did we create a clear cut chance all night? Still not panicking though, but I do worry about tomorrow. Looks like a couple may be on the way.

Defeat, a poor performance, questionable team selection and yet somehow people have managed to make this about the support, despite the fact we were urging the team on until the end and provided backing that many teams in this league would love to have. Staggered. This was the last thing I...

It's fucking outrageous tbh. There was zero negativity around me. People making shit up so they can feel superior. Chatting to a Preston fan on the walk home and he commented on how noisy our fans were today (and we can be a lot noisier of course) and said last season we were the best home...

Toxic? Tonight? Give your head a wobble. That's absolute bullshit.

Were you at the same game? Fans stayed behind the team throughout. There are grounds in this league where they start booing if a player's lace comes undone. We've won 8 in about 36 games and we're still singing his name and urging the team on. Not having that at all.

In the pub but hearing it's chaos, turnstiles not open yet?

North stand was very sparse for Blues game, it was only later in the season when it started to become more popular. Anyway, we'll find out later, and I agree walk up should be decent.

Heading for 18-19K by the looks of it. No midweek game last season got close to the amount of home tickets sold for this one at this stage, not even Blues.

You want me to predict where Sheff Wed's, Derby, Charlton, Ipswich, Portsmouth and Coventry will be in 8 years from now? I'm guessing the timescale has something to do with our tenancy, but that is also impossible to predict, all sorts of variables.

What sort of question is that? If you'd asked that question 8 years ago, when we were at Northampton, would have have said in 8 years time we'd be higher than all those clubs in the league pyramid with SISU still in charge? Of course not.

I agree, I was referring more to tomorrow night. Like you say, we're still bottom in 6 games time and it'll start to turn toxic, if not before then.

I don't think there will be much of that, or it will soon peter out. Outside of the cross-eyed types on SM and on here, I don't sense there is much appetite to go down that road again.

So looking forward to this. Think it'll be rocking tomorrow. Ticket sales (for a midweek game) look really healthy. Time to rally together.

Ha, funny, I thought you were serious for a minute.
