    Brighton / Coventry

    I think they have decent support, but also have a big catchment area with little competition - their 'local' rivals are Crystal Palace (Crawley are historically a non-league side). The population of Sussex is 1.6 million - as opposed to 850K in Cov and Warwickshire. Historically we are much...

    Joint Protest with Charlton Fans

    Hopefully a good turnout for this. I hear Charlton fans have made a real effort here, subsidising travel, producing placards on our behalf. We should make an effort to give them the same warm welcome they extended to us at their place.

    The truth, you can't handle the truth

    What the fuck I have just read? I too was wavering, but having read through this I'm now convinced that I'll renew. People talk about the 'gravy train' and 'lining SISU's pockets'. It's facile nonsense. The true aim of a boycott is an attempt to cripple the club financially, make it as...

    Fisher on ST Pricing

    He's right about income streams of course, we are heavily reliant on ticketing revenues, this is no secret. The question though is that by freezing/raising prices, have they not alienated people and in doing so convinced a number of people not to buy, and thus reducing those revenues? A token...

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    You couldn't be more wrong. 2013/14 was the first time Bradford had a higher average than us in a given season since 1958, and it was only the second time since the war. We have a much higher average attendance than them historically - it isn't even close. Since 2013/14 they have pulled away...

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    I'll probably have a block to myself. 50/50 at the moment. If I don't the lad will be devastated though. Will make a last minute call.

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    You're comparing apples with oranges though. The point about away games is that people will pick and choose and make a judgement at the time as to whether they want to go- which might depend on where it is, the time of year, how well we are doing at the time, what sort of away day it is, how...

    Season ticket prices 17/18 season

    This. A blanket price freeze would be bad enough given the season we've just had, but the fact they have put prices up in certain blocks (and remember prices went up for those people last season as the season before there were no zones) is, quite frankly, staggering.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Not disputing much of this, and clearly he was massively distracted during his time as a director. Quite possibly he should have resigned earlier; but that doesn't negate the fact he probably didn't have direct input and influence over the day to day running of the business. Not saying he is...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Not sure I necessarily agree about Hoffman. He was hardly hands-on during his time on the board, and his appointment to it coincided with him taking the job on at Northern Rock - which was in a terrible state when he went there, so hardly a part-time undertaking. Not sure how much of a...

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Senior roles at Barclays, Northern Rock and now CEO of Hastings Insurance iirc. Clearly successful and well connected, but I doubt he has the personal wealth to launch a bid on his own, but that's never really been on the cards. Whether these rumours are true or not, it wouldn't surprise me if...

    Trafalgar Square/Covent Garden Saturday

    Believe so. Mate just sent a text. He's in the World's End, and says a lot of city out and about around Camden Town. Gutted I couldn't go down today - have a few for me!

    Trafalgar Square/Covent Garden Saturday

    Get yourselves to Camden boys, sounds like it's lively!

    Trafalgar Square/Covent Garden Saturday

    Why would you go to Trafalgar Square? There's nothing there (pub wise). Covent Garden or Camden fine. In fact a mate just text from a pub in Camden and it's rocking. There are thousands down there tonight, but the idea everyone was going to get together in one place when there is a pub on...

    Trafalgar Square/Covent Garden Saturday

    It's London. There's a million places to go. Everyone will be spread out and doing their own thing. Don't get Trafalgar Square, nothing to do other than stand about drinking a warm beer from a can. Leave that to the Scots.

    32,000 sold already

    They're just releasing a few seats here and there. The odd return and small areas that might have been reserved for whatever reason. There are only 25 seats in the lower tier available - which will sell, and if they don't there won't be large gaps - plus we have sold 3 blocks of the additional...

    32,000 sold already

    Been a nightmare getting on to buy tickets since the announcement earlier. Sat in a queue for ages. Not sure if its a late rush or a glitch.

    Match Thread Coventry v Bristol R Match Thread - Saturday 25th Mar

    Many, but the good work he does seems to go unnoticed. There was a passage of play today, early in the 2nd half I think, when he was outstanding. He broke up play, there was a vital tackle, he was neat and tidy with the ball, played a couple of good forward passes into feet and covered a huge...

    Match Thread Coventry v Bristol R Match Thread - Saturday 25th Mar

    Bigi had a good game today imo. Not a MOTM performance sure, there were a number ahead of him, but I am sure people can look beyond the odd stray pass when assessing his performance? He sees a lot of the ball, so of course he will give it away from time to time. This isn't bloody Barcelona. His...

    Match Thread Coventry v Bristol R Match Thread - Saturday 25th Mar

    Feel like an away fan today. It's all a bit depressing. 20 mins to get served in the casino don't help.
