I think too much is made of the ground location. It's less than 3 miles from the city centre which is not too far really. The bigger factor, which you have touched on, was the ill thought out 'green travel plan', where strict parking restrictions were put in place, without any reasonable...

Fair enough, I was working on 10% basis. Is this definte though, that we still qualify for a cut of the transfer fee or are we just guessing?

Your maths are wrong. The percentage we get will be of the profit, not the total fee, so if we are entitled to a cut still it will be in the region of £350k.

Maybe its just the circles I've been in but my schooldays were in Rugby where I can only ever recall 3 Villa fans, who were all ridiculed (and bullied sad to say) relentlessly. As an adult in the 20 or so years I lived in Cov I honestly never came across a Villa fan from Cov.

If nothing else this might dampen the ridiculous over confidence of some posters on here predicting the Sunderland game to be a stroll. For the last 3 seasons (including our promotion season) we have struggled to get going away from home, even if we have played fairly well at times. Last seasons...

Giles played very well and he does deliver a decent cross. In the first half particularly though West Brom allowed him acres of space, while in the 2nd half though, all West Broms danger came from his side so nothing has really changed in regard to him. Very good when you're attacking and your...

Perhaps the O'Hare rumour emanated from Sunderland's version of Greggs and is a bit of payback on their part!

Presuming its correct that we still get something from future sales, wouldn't it be based on the transfer profit made? Therefore if Leicester bought him for £20m and sell for £50m the bit that we would have our take from in your scenario would be £30m, and we would therefore get £300,000.

Don't bet that 20/1. Just been told its 40/1 with Paddy Power. Obviously suggests its an unlikely winner, but you never know!

For those of you that like a little dabble on the horses I see there is a horse called 'Playupskyblues' running in the 1:05 at Goodwood. Owner must be a City fan I presume! Anyhow 20/1 with Bet365 - be lucky 🤑🤑🤑

Despite being an ex Forest player I think Derby could be a good fit for him if they were interested.

They only play 7 minutes each half :)

We will most likely finish in the group just outside the playoffs, so 7th to 13th. Picking the middle of that I'll go for 10th.

@Greggs - Loved your work with the Sunderland message board. You gonna have a go on the Burnley one?

This will be a lot easier come the end of August when the transfer deadline has passed and the final make up of all the teams will be known but as of now I fancy Watford to be the best of the relegated teams and to win the league with Norwich 2nd. Playoffs then to be West Brom, Sheff Utd...

Our ex player David Prutton (for a short time at least) has predicted a 1-0 win for Sunderland on the Sky website. Probably a sign of the one sided Sky coverage likely to come of this match. I'm certainly expecting this message board to be lit up with righteous indignation about the bias.

Based on performance while on loan, rather than future or past career my team would be: Bywater, Caldwell, Ostigaard, Clarke-Salter, Grainger, Gudjonsson, Hignett, Walsh, Warnock, McGoldrick, Armstrong

A lot probably depends on the Sunderland game. A good win then 20,000 plus, a defeat maybe 18,000.

With 5 subs to use this season he will get plenty of game time whether he starts or not. Initially Bidwell will start, and deservedly so as he seems to have had a good pre season. Off the bench with 20 minutes to go against tiring defences sounds to be a perfect introduction for the Palace lad...

While they do tend to turn on their team at times, I don't think they will do so in their first match back in the Championship. Strange results regularly happen in the 1st game too and I think this whole day will be centred around them, which will make it doubly difficult for us. I would...
