    And too many people don't consider the difficulties others have. 'I'm OK Jack. Your problems are your fault'

    Hull away tickets confirmed

    Any more proof needed that the better the price the quicker they sell?

    Maybe this could have been worded slightly better 🤔 😁

    Had my nuts cracked before we found out about my little boy. We decided to have another go 2 weeks before my op. Both in our 40's where you're supposed to struggle. Youngest daughter 14 months older. Takes after me. 13 years old. 5'10" and his size 10 shoes are getting a bit small 😳

    Think you need a reality check. Something like 40% or more people in the UK live payday to payday. Even higher when they have kids. Summer is the worse time for families financially. No school so extra childcare costs. Annual holiday if they can afford it. Extra days out to keep kids occupied...

    Yet you have a go at anyone who couldn't afford season tickets as soon as they're released.and quite quickly taken off sale.

    In the UK we're shafted from all sides and made a slave to the system. We're made to feel rich with having excessively expensive housing because the values constantly go up yet spend most of our working life paying for it unless you get the right house early on. 5th richest country in the...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 26th Aug

    I'm in France and our Leicester game was audio only. Set my VPN for Italy and was able to watch the game although it wasn't as stable as usual. Sky don't have agreements in all countries. If you're somewhere they don't have an agreement it seems so far you can still watch on ifollow.

    We are away supporters half the time. Not everyone lives near Coventry. How about shift workers who work weekends? Both were me before I left the UK. Home games were over 400 miles round trip. We have a lot of supporters with similar where a ST isn't feasible. So you say people shouldn't go...

    So the Sunderland game isn't Cat A game? Casual supporters don't have to pay £25 per child? We won't have thousands of empty seats? Ok

    I got hooked as a kid. Went with mates. Didn't have an adult to take me. Could I raise £25 as a kid? Every situation is different. STH's that take kids to occasional games won't pay £25 for their kids. The occasional supporter taking a couple of kids will think twice about paying nearly...

    How many kids with a ST got charged £25 for one game?

    Perspective

    All players deserve a chance. Simms hadn't played for over 6 months. Definite lack of match fitness. This doesn't mean he is shite. Godden had a mare first game. Wasn't much better second game. This didn't make him shite.

    Ambition is considering the future. Pricing children out of becoming long term supporters isn't considering the future. All empty seats are also a lost opportunity and lost income.

    Perspective

    Those having a go at Godden were before he started scoring. Then they needed another target. This was Simms. 1 goal every 2 games is good. No goals in 2 games doesn't mean they are shite.

    Yes supply and demand. If you had 12,000 cars and someone was prepared to pay 18k what about the other 11,999?

    I suppose the same idiots that said the same about Godden.

    King et al vs SISU

    Undecided yet overall. But definitely better overall so far. Finances for the squad are more trustworthy. But no details of the deal for the sale. Would reaching the Prem give SISU a big payday? Since the takeover we have sold 2 players for about what the value of our club was seen as...

    If it is down to bums on seats safe standing areas can't come quick enough.

    Mason Greenwood

    They can't sack him. In the eyes of the law he hasn't done anything wrong. He hasn't been found guilty of anything. It would be wrongful dismissal. They would have to pay his contract up. My replacement at work.... My job was advertised externally. It went down to a shortlist of 3. A...
