    Congratulations on your promotion

    From what I understand its got everything to do with the financial sleight of hand in regards to the stadium. A Wednesday fan I work with thinks they are bang to rights but as pointed out they are not the only club to have done this. I knew Derby were also facing a potential points deduction...

    Transfer rumours (isn't it nice to talk about football!)

    You are right to a degree, Hyam and McFadzean aren't the quickest, but Drysdale seemed slower than them when he played. That might be simply because their extra experience means they read the game better defensively, which is something he can possibly develop and improve on of course. That said...

    Line up for championship next season

    I largely agree with this. Even if Biamou and Mason are not starters, we need back up at the ready. I don't picture them playing often, but at some point they may have a part to play. Jones is difficult to predict. It could be that his injuries mean he never returns to what he was, or...

    Transfer rumours (isn't it nice to talk about football!)

    Drysdale has something about him, but his lack of pace is going to hold him back as a central defender. He can see a pass, and seems to break up play well, and I think he would be better being moved to a Liam Kelly type role, which would play more to his strengths, and negate his one obvious...

    8 years progress or regression

    We are on the up, and have been for a few years, but that was from hitting an all time low. We are now getting back to where we were when Sisu took over. If we finish higher than 17th in the Championship next season, then on the pitch we will be in a better position than when they took over...

    Reality Statement from Wycombe

    They average less than 6,000, but even given if they did have those crowds, its probably fair to assume that at least 2,000 are season ticket holders who have already paid their money, of whom I would have thought very few would be demanding a refund for a curtailed season. Not everyone of the...

    Reality Statement from Wycombe

    ............but the article says they have lost revenue of £1m! Players wages are an expense, so what is that £1m lost revenue made up of? While accepting I don't know the ins and outs of Wycombe's business, on the face of it that figure seems quite an exaggeration. Potential gate receipts from...

    Reality Statement from Wycombe

    What other streams of revenue do Wycombe get, other than on a match day? £1m seems a steep loss for a team averaging 5k crowds, half of which are probably season ticket holders, and with only about 5 home games to play.

    Next year season tickets

    Much depends if we are still playing outside Cov. If we are I don't think you could ask more than £25 per match, but then only for big matches, with £20 being the normal price. If we are playing back in Cov I think it would be reasonable to go as high as £30 for the bigger games and £25 the...

    Just how big is our fan base ?

    I grew up in Rugby until I was 18, and left in 1983, so granted it was a long time ago. However, Cov were far and away the biggest supported team then with an active supporters club arranging coaches to games home and away. There were of course the standard Liverpool/ Man United types too, but I...

    Just how big is our fan base ?

    Depends how you judge it. Is the 'fan base' made up of supporters that go to most games, those that only go to a few games a season, only Wembley games, those that used to go but don't go anymore, or those that are abroad and can only watch ifollow? At one extreme its about 6,000 and the other...

    Championship to have say in league one outcome?

    I guess those facing relegation, might want to play the same card as the bottom 6 in the PL and argue that they shouldn't be replaced by clubs that haven't completed the full season. Self interested poppycock of course, but they make up only a minority in the Championship, so I don't think it...

    Tim Fisher

    If circumstances work out that we do play Villa next season, I hope its after BCD games are all done and dusted.

    Hiwula

    Hiwula's head drops when things go against him and he has a tendency to hide a little when it does. When others have poor games they can still offer the side something by their team ethos, but Hiwula didn't seem to have that in him. He also missed a lot of costly sitters in his first season with...

    Birmingham don’t want us

    We have no choice but to accept it for what it is. So many of our fans on here seem to take this viewpoint as a personal slight on our team, but it is not. So much of being a football supporter is shared moments and experiences, and celebrating those good times together, particularly when they...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Trying to work out a solution covering the supposed strength of teams you have to play is fraught with problems, and no such solution would be able to factor in enough variables to provide a reliable outcome, particularly given results are often contrary to expectation towards the end of a...

    Birmingham don’t want us

    For me it won't be the same either. I'm glad we are going up and of course I think the title is deserved, we were fantastic over the course of the season that we played, but not having that definable moment when someone has that glory of scoring the goal that clinches the title or promotion...

    ‘If’ we are promoted what do we need to compete in Championship?

    Fair enough - just don't think he's better than Godden.

    ‘If’ we are promoted what do we need to compete in Championship?

    Just on Mo Eisa. I have only seen him in spits and spats, and while he did score the late equaliser against us earlier this season, he was pretty ropey otherwise. He failed to make it in the Championship previously too, and I suspect Godden will score more in the Championship than he would, and...
