Were you at the same game? Fans stayed behind the team throughout. There are grounds in this league where they start booing if a player's lace comes undone. We've won 8 in about 36 games and we're still singing his name and urging the team on. Not having that at all.

In the pub but hearing it's chaos, turnstiles not open yet?

North stand was very sparse for Blues game, it was only later in the season when it started to become more popular. Anyway, we'll find out later, and I agree walk up should be decent.

Heading for 18-19K by the looks of it. No midweek game last season got close to the amount of home tickets sold for this one at this stage, not even Blues.

You want me to predict where Sheff Wed's, Derby, Charlton, Ipswich, Portsmouth and Coventry will be in 8 years from now? I'm guessing the timescale has something to do with our tenancy, but that is also impossible to predict, all sorts of variables.

What sort of question is that? If you'd asked that question 8 years ago, when we were at Northampton, would have have said in 8 years time we'd be higher than all those clubs in the league pyramid with SISU still in charge? Of course not.

I agree, I was referring more to tomorrow night. Like you say, we're still bottom in 6 games time and it'll start to turn toxic, if not before then.

I don't think there will be much of that, or it will soon peter out. Outside of the cross-eyed types on SM and on here, I don't sense there is much appetite to go down that road again.

So looking forward to this. Think it'll be rocking tomorrow. Ticket sales (for a midweek game) look really healthy. Time to rally together.

Ha, funny, I thought you were serious for a minute.

That just isn't true though. Content with a period of relative stability after years of turmoil - I'll give you that, but we all want the club to move forward. Would you say CCFC is in a better or worse position (overall) than Portsmouth, Sheff Weds, Ipswich, Derby and Charlton? None of those...

Nobody has a solution. When you ask for it, they go all woolly and vague and go into full 'yeah but not but' mode. Essentially, the only solution put forward seems to involve selling to a mysterious and non-existent oligarch waiting in the wings chomping at the bit to come in and ejaculate...

Come on now, you want me to give up time explaining to you what you already know? A few short years ago, our entire retail operation consisted of a single shitty outlet in a supermarket; run by Just Sport, on crap commercial terms, churning out Nike templates and low grade leisure wear. The...

The wage bill. People who want the likes of Hamer, O'Hare and Vik to stay must reliase that, as their stock increases, there is a cost to that, otherwise they'd all be banging at the door trying to get out.

There is a world of difference between how the club is run commercially now than even just 2-3 years ago.

Really, what are you basing that on? Commercial revenues, from sponsorship, hospitality, licensing, merchandising and retail have all increased notably haven't they? In the absence of stadium ownership (which will inevitably impact on pp revenue), where are we lacking? Genuine question, because...

Don't think that's close to being true tbh. For some reason people seem to assume these things don't happen at other clubs, when they quite clearly do. Take a look at the toxicity on some of Leicester's recent twitter threads. Or any other club going through a poor run for that matter...

Who says it's inferior? Remove those with parachute payments and those bankrolled (with whom we can't realistically compete anyway, so shouldn't try) that puts us in the mix with a 9/10 clubs, and the simple truth is we have to be better than them, and we have been have we not? Unless you want...

Pretty much where you are. That has been my argument all along, that player sales are required to keep the losses in check. I'm not why you have spent to last hour arguing with me?

I can't recall you posting any financial information at all. There is no requirement for me to do so given that I have made only 2 assertions; one that the club operates at a loss and two that the owners cover said losses in the form of loans. Which of these are you disputing? Why have we sold...
