These threads are becoming tedious. The same people complaining that we had 'lost a generation of fans' last season are now whining that we are getting crowds pretty much identical to what we had prior to the move. Our crowds now are not typical, so why are people trying to pretend they are...

I just don't see how this could possibly work. As owners Wasps would, naturally, want to make the stadium their own. They probably wouldn't want to play in an arena with sky blue seats, with references to 'CCFC' and 'SkyBlues' at both ends. This move would be massively controversial for them...

Ah, the '10K hardcore' nonsense again. Totally oblivious to the fact we are currently getting our worst gates for about 50 years - so decidely UNtypical of this club, and yet completely unwilling to engage in sensible discussions about the reasons for that and how we might reverse the trend. I...

Of course some people simply cannot be arsed, or simply choose do to something else. Who has said differently? And why are you so arrogant as to think everyone ought to be as committed as you anyway? Some people can't be arsed, some people simply can't (work, distance etc), some perhaps...

Yeah, but they didn't actually do that though.

He did say our away support was 'exceptional', just about the only positive thing he said. Noel Whelan I remember did a newspaper interview when he was a player at Middlesbough when he slated the club too, but that one seems to be forgotten. Never been bothered by this sort of thing though.

Miss the fanzine culture. I take it you're not talking about SBA, so perhaps In Dublin's Fair City or Sent To Coventry/Lady Godiva Rides Again?

Don't mention big attendances and reduced ticket prices, people will assume you are trying to suggest there is some sort of link, and that'll only make them furious. I made that mistake the other day. I only happened to mention the 23,000+ gate against Colchester when tickets were reduced to...

Yeah, met Mo at an awards dinner once. Proper gent.

It really isn't that difficult to work out roughly how many tickets are sold. You can log on to the website and simply look at the number of available seats for the Yeovil game and deduct it from the number of available seats for the Preston game. Add on the 4000 ST holders, away fans, a few...

I think he wanted to say a personal thank you publicly, which seems perfectly OK to me. But he is right though. Carl Baker really is just about the nicest fotballer I have ever met.

Our current gates (basesd on 2 seasons ago anyway) are our lowest for the best part of 50 years. Why would you build a stadium only able to cater for crowds at the very lowest end of the range of gates we are capable of as a club? That's SISU logic. Our attendances will recover in time, let's...

1-0. Att 10,900.

That sort of thing was rife back in the 80s. The history books say we only averaged 17,000 the year after we won the cup, but it is a nonsense really. I remember one game - think it might have been Everton - when half the ground starting laughing when they announced the attendance. All very...

That will include ST holders, but perhaps not away fans and corporate.

Nah, still lots of seats reserved for ST holders who have not renewed, so gives a false impression. The crowd will be about 10.5K in the end. It's disappointing, but entirely consistent with the gates we were getting two season's ago. Not all that surprising really.

£25 - it's only £27 tomorrow. He is try to shaft you for £2.

Which means if you tried to but a ticket online, you couldn't buy at the JSB rate, and you'd probably have to go to the ticket office to sort out. But then according to the '2 minutes online' brigade, their are no issues with online ticket sales at all, so stop moaning.

Err..yes you can.

Agree. The issue for me is why, given that they've hardly sold a ticket all week, are there still queues of 1 hour? ST renewals I imagine, but then just put more staff on?
