    London Tube trains to be used for Ricoh Arena station

    The station is able to process up to 3000 an hour (if there were sufficient trains). There is a large holding area with a system of lanes and barriers. The station was actually built for processing large numbers of people over a short space of time.

    Season Ticket Purchasing Thread Eleventy Billion

    I am sure I have heard something like this before with ticketmaster. Something to do with the fact that all home games are released for sale before the start of the season - and because of that it becomes difficult to offer season tickets as availability of a seat that has not been purchased...

    Season Tickets

    The thing that I find surprising is the commitment to reply 'within 10 working days'. Really? Can't think of any other type pf business that would openly state the fact that it can take them 2 weeks to respond to an email enquiry. I'm not one to criticise the staff at the club - they all seem...

    Online tickets

    Gates will almost certainly be down this season, probably by quite a lot. Last season we had a combination of cheap pricing and a flying start in the league. Can't see us averaging 12,000 again. That said, even with gates down, gate receipts might go up. The club have obviously decided that...

    Away ticket discrace...

    Yeah, just got mine. Kept emptying the basket in the hope I'd get a better row, but kept getting row A or B. Wish I'd waited now. Behind the goal cheaper too I think.

    Mowbray's view

    What's new? TM can appear downbeat after a 5-0 victory. Just his demeanour.

    Nuneaton Town (Away) Match Thread - Saturday 9th Jul (15:00 Kick Off)

    Totally agree. Hope I'm wrong, but despite being a decent all-round footballer, he doesn't seem to have that one outstanding attribute he needs to kick on. He doesn't have blistering pace, too small to be a threat in the air and not great with his back to goal. He might be a decent finisher...

    Coleman

    Is it me or are some people trying way to hard to find reasons why Coleman deserves no credit for what he has done with Wales? So he failed here, so what. The history of this club is littered with managers that have under-achieved, he is just one of many. This place is full of shit pundits...

    Matchday ticket prices ?!

    Wow, that's quite a hike. From £18 across the board to up to £26 - that's over 40%. You can pay £22 of course, but that's still over 20%. Family zone is all well and good, but it's not for everyone and not everyone has kids. The other effect will be a very uneven spread of supporters -...

    Parking next season

    The markets are politically neutral and are just reacting to uncertainty. That uncertainty will go away over time - they'll be a short term wobble and perhaps a shallow recession - but long term there is no reason why the UK cannot flourish with a negotiated free trade arrangement and with the...

    Parking next season

    Alarmist nonsense.

    Parking next season

    Just thought I'd mention that they appear to be installing number plate recognition cameras at Tescos - so might not be a viable option next season for those who park there. New signs indicating two hours free parking maximum also.

    Really not doing us any favours now. Police might be heavy handed, but just pipe down ffs.

    CET (again!)

    He makes my blood boil. Worst thing about it is that we share the same surname, but I'd like to make it clear he's no relation whatsoever! People often ask if I know him. I went into the ticket office once to collect a ticket and they asked for my name, and when I said it all the staff looked...

    Euro Hooligans

    The worry has to be Lille. You're going to have loads of English, Welsh and Russian fans in the same town given that Lens is too small to accommodate all those travelling and that England fans were told to stay in Lille. Easy to criticise British police sometimes - but they do know how to...

    Euro Hooligans

    Like England fans have done all over the world without any notable issues for 18 years? Can't be a coincidence it is in Marseille, or that Russians were involved. The worst violence is recent times at a major tournament was 4 years ago between Russia and Poland. Four years on this. The whole...

    Euro Hooligans

    Quoting the Russian media now? Priceless. Some England fans have behaved like idiots. But throwing bottles at police in full riot gear is a world away from marauding gangs with iron bars beating up anyone and everyone. Not a single piece of evidence to suggest England fans instigated an...

    Euro Hooligans

    You don't really have any idea what has happened out there do you? The 'all sides as bad as each other' view is lazy and inaccurate.

    Euro Hooligans

    Fair play to Collymore. I'd be on my toes. Feral French youths and tear gas. Not for me.
