    Undisclosed fee

    It's usually the selling club that insist on this, but not always. The fact that we paid so much for Jones, you'd have thought it would have been massively in the club's interests to disclose the fee to demonstrate to the fans that they are investing in the team, so I can only assume that D&R...

    Anyone park in Tesco's ?

    Got done at the same place. Really sneaky, you have a public car park with a handful of spaces that are private and the signage is poor. The whole car park was empty and I paid and displayed thinking I was in the public spaces. Keep getting letters and keep ignoring them. If it goes to court...

    Season tickets?

    For those collecting STs today it shouldn't be too bad. Got there early, one or two in front and by the time I got away about 60 in the queue. They sent STs by courier from Manchester this morning, so I actually collected the ST cards rather than duplicates. Not sure everyone will get their...

    Season tickets?

    Just noticed that it is all ticket for Shrews today, so looks like no tickets available on the day for away fans this season. Only sold about 550. Might affect away followings a bit.

    Safe journey. Nothing more pleasurable than seeing your lad so excited for a game. Mine has been up and in his city kit since 7.00am.

    Season tickets?

    To be fair, who are you to be dishing out orders for how people should schedule their day? It's easy to suggest people are overreacting when you're not even going to the game. It's an inconvenience that people could do without, and all people are doing is having a little whinge about ticketing...

    they said 10-11k so will be down on wigan last season which was 13k, but decent away following that day iirc.

    Reid looked pretty sharp the other night. Play 75 minutes didn't he? I think you're right though, he'll start with Lameiras. Club tweeted gate likely to be 11K tomorrow.

    Season tickets?

    Yeah, someone I know bought from BPA and was given a hand-written receipt. When they asked if they could bring this tomorrow as proof of purchase CCFC said yes, but ticketmaster said no. Wtf? Also, interestingly, since tm sent out the bulk email earlier, the club have said they know nothing...

    Season tickets?

    Yeah, we all got the same email come through at work. At least it will be the cards we will be collecting and not duplicates. Hopefully queues won't be too bad.

    Season tickets?

    I work for a Chinese company. In the office today we have a Bob, Ben, Michael, Jason, Ken, Apollo, Annie and a Jessica. If you are going to pick an English name, pick a good one. Apollo wins.

    Season tickets?

    That happened at an England game a while back. Ordered tickets via ticketmaster and they didn't arrive. We had to collect duplicates at the ground (it was Anfield) and so no real issue, until somebody rocked up in the ground saying we were in their seats - wafting around tickets that had our...

    Season tickets?

    Of course, but I think it is more than a few. Five of us at work have STs, but only 1 of us has received it. Could be coincidence of course, but clearly something has gone awry at ticketmaster. Ah well, on the plus side it means I have a genuine excuse for getting to the Ricoh at 11.30am and...

    Season tickets?

    Who is panicking? I can't see any comments above where there is panic. A bit melodramatic that. Going along and picking up duplicates from the ticket office is easy - the problem will come when 1000 have to do that at pretty much the same time. There is no harm in pointing out that...

    Season tickets?

    The issue is pretty much entirely down to ticketmaster from what I can see. The club should be having serious words. Mine haven't arrived, so I guess I'll have to collect duplicates on Saturday which is no major hassle really. The only concern is that there appear to be an awful lot still...

    Jim O'Brien

    Well that's perfectly fine. I don't see much fawning though - just people who will jump to his defence when others aim abuse at him - like a comment the other night when somebody said they would love it if he broke his leg. Baker was a decent player for us. He is also just about the nicest...

    Don't have an issue with ST prices actually. They are fair. Matchday prices don't make much sense. Pay every game and it comes to £529 for the cheapest adult seat and £621 for the most expensive. All I am saying is that attendances will go down as a result. Hopefully not massively, but they...

    It isn't rocket science Nick, you put prices up to that extent less people will go. You might get away with it in the PL where demand exceeds supply, but in division 3 at a ground where supply well exceeds demand, it just isn't going to happen. That's incredibly naive. Last season prices went...

    It isn't though. Last season it was £20 anywhere, this season it is £23 to £27 depending where you sit. It shouldn't put many off really - the difference is a pint of beer. I'm one of those people who'll pay whatever they charge. Some people don't think like that. Bringing people through...

    Has the food gone up?

    Didn't we? 2015-2016: 12,570 2014-2015: 9,332 Performances played a part (and yes we played 2 games at Sixfields in 14/15, but that was cancelled out by the 28K against Gillingham which was a false gate). Of course, it's not true that if you half the price you double the gate, but it probably...
