The thing is, I've been told by two people very close to all this that a deal for up to 5 years is already done. Everything we are seeing now is about saving face and about all sides not wanting to be seen to have backed down. Just get on and announce it so that all the hand-wringing can stop.

They have been for about 3 seasons now. Only one an hour though.

We need to work on our game management, but aside from that it was pretty dominant. Four goals, 2 sitters missed and a series of half chances. Bradford's goals came out of nothing, and for a team playing at home throwing everything at us to get back into the game they didn't create much. Can't...

Had a great time. Some of the drinks we got were free, bought a few more, no big deal. So 44 quid for transport there and back, a 3 hour boat trip on the Thames and 3 free beers ain't bad value. Don't go on the FB page very often and reading some of the abuse being dished out I realise why.

Don't really get the angst over the attendance next week. I'd love there to be a big turn out, don't understand why peolpe wouldn't go, but then I think that every week. It won't be that great, because the truth is it isn't a particularly big game. They'll be fewer city fans than there were...

It hasn't had that much effect. 5000 takes them all the way up to the small barrier in block 12, the same as was given to Chelsea in the fall cup (5200), so a couple of hundred lost I'd say. That's about as much as we can give now. In the early Ricoh days away fans could also have block 13 and...

What did you expect from it? My wife gave out a lot of tickets at her school and said the kids were all bouncing, before and after. That sort of stuff is priceless. I am sure they will do it again at some point this season, and they should, perhaps reviewing the process as it wasn't perfect...

Has that been officially announced? Got a feeling it's just a system glitch.

All this fuss because Sunderland are bringing 4800. So what. Anyone would think they're breaking some sort of record. Their average away following last season was 1700, yet everywhere I look it's billy big bollocks stuff from them. Great numbers sure, but driven by that drop down a league, we're...

Surprised by the Doyle comments Otis. I thought he was outstanding today. Funny how people see things so differently!

They won't get that many because the maximum number of away fans is now capped at 5000. Second point, we have 6500 season ticket holders. Even allowing for a few no shows, are you saying we won't sell a single ticket between one month ago when they went on sale and the end of next month? C'mon.

This policy in blocks 14-16 (which I know is not of the club's making) is senseless. Block 16 is so flat compared to last season. Checking tickets is one thing, but surely, by not allowing people to buy tickets in this part of the ground, you are making it more likely that people are going to...

Just go to the ticket office before the game and as a match package holder you can sit in 14-16.

No chance of only 8000. It will be down on opening day, as it was for the second home fixture last season (after back to back league wins), so the 'losses' comment isn't really valid. An extended bad run and of course crowds will decline, but it won't impact tomorrow which will be 10K+.

It's the price. 18, 19, 20, 21 and 22 all more expensive and 23 is families only.

Yesterday people were moaning about low density housing on greenfield in Kerseley. Today they are moaning about a high-density city centre brownfield development. I guess what people really want is less people. Seems like a high-quality residential scheme, the sort of thing you see in cities up...

Block 17 is almost completely sold out with season ticket holders. There are only about 200 seats available game by game so this block will be full every week. Can't see why they would move.

People spending too much time on the internet. Out in the real world I've encountered nothing but cautious optimism. All this teeth gnashing over internet rants by brain-dead millennials (in the main). Really? I was struck last season by how the supporters stuck with the team. A handful of...

Was asked the other day if I'd rather England win the world cup or city get promoted, and definitely the latter (although both would be nice). Can't get excited about friendlies though. Just half-paced kickabouts that tell us nothing really.

I'm definitely club before country, but think you're being a bit mischievous there Nick. You can't possibly mean that!
