Championship average (at Ricoh) was over 20K for first couple of seasons then fell away by about 1K per season until relegation. It was a decent Championship average. Fickle? Yeah, we can be of course, but then that applies to a lot of other clubs too.

Before 2013 Bradford had not had a season average higher than ours in their entire history. Their recent higher gates are the direct result of season ticket prices. When you're paying £6.50 a game it's a no brainer. You'd only have to go to a third of the games to make it worthwhile. Their...

I'm baffled that people think travel should be free. £5 is actually below cost (EST have worked very hard to get these prices down, so hats off to them). As an example, a father and son will have paid a total of £285 for 2 season tickets, and people think we should subsidise travel to the value...

Fair play, I know this is not as easy a decision for some as it was for myself because of my view on the events that have brought us to this point. It's worth saying though that your money won't go anywhere near the owners, it goes straight to the club and then straight out again to cover costs.

Rumours going round that ACL have laid off staff today and there was a problem paying wages. All not well there it would seem.

The delay I guess is down to the fact the retail unit is not ready. When I went past last weekend nothing had been done and the re-fitting hadn't even started. It may have got underway this week though.

ST sales have now surpassed 1500 according to the club. We should get above 2K at this rate.

Doesn't surprise me. Bunch of crooks.

It's the first time I have seen those documents. Absolutely shocking.

The £1.3 million was also for use of the stadium on matchdays only. Aside from the retail unit, pre-Northampton all that £1.3 million bought us was use of the facilities for 150 hours a year. They also had the gall to charge us business rates on the basis we were using all of the facilties...

Wow, that's depressed the hell out of me. Reading a thread almost 6 years old full of the same arguments we're having now. All those wasted years..

Nobody has swallowed anything, and the comments have pretty much all been in agreement, that we have learned nothing new based on what we have seen, and that her appearance is long overdue. What comments are you reading? As for "Only in April she offered to drop the legals if she was granted a...

Just watched the extended clip. Still only 10 minutes out of a much longer interview so I would be interested to see the transcript. Lots of talk about aspiration and potential, but no real detail. I suspect it was edited for general SS viewers in mind more than fans of the club. Hopefully...

The first bit is just semantics tbh. As for the amount, I defer to your knowledge on that matter.

I know your are trying to downplay ST sales, which is fair enough. I think they will be better than you expect, but either way clearly way down on what they have would have been. In no way though do I think that poor ST sales would force the club back to the Ricoh. That will only happen if...

As soon as I was told that this interview had taken place I'd decided there and then to stay off twitter for the next couple of days. I can only imagine the sort of pond life that has surfaced this morning.

TBH, I was referring to those who do 20+ away games more than the casual traveller. To do that many away games is a huge commitment to the club, it's an outstanding effort. It's just strange that people are planning to do that, but are refusing to contribute financially to the club they clearly...

Nobody is saying they don't want large away followings. Of course we do. And a couple of enormous followings will get a little bit attention like you say. The issue is those who plan only to attend away games. We need people to back the club by attending home games, even if not as frequently as...

We're all guessing of course, but I think you're behind unduly pessimistic. We're currently selling 50-80 season tickets a day and that rate isn't slowing. It's about 1100 from what we can see, and corporate is on top, and because hospitality tickets are relatively cheap this year, that'll be...

I don't understand those who say 'away games only'. Their choice, and I guess this is their way of supporting the club. What they are saying in effect though, is that they want to support the club, but also want others to fund the club on their behalf. They'll go away and cheer on players who...
