It is weird. The guy has developed an affinity to the club and the area through his manager and local connections, he goes to games and speaks well of us, but this seems to annoy people. He's hardly adopted us in order to advance his career and grow his global following.

The update from WBA I saw yesterday was 2.5K sold I think?

They don't know how to handle it, it just doesn't compute. To them the game is all middle-class back-slapping, dipping cocks in beer and eating artisan pork pies out of the back of Land Rovers. They really struggle when any sort of criticism is levelled at them, especially from football fans.

You can pay more than that at certain grounds in certain premium seats, but nowhere is the cheapest adult ticket (and if you're struggling, you're not looking at the premium seats anyway) more than £33/£34 for any game (not that I have found anyway). Sheff United cat A pricing is pretty eye...

It's actually £34 as they add on the booking fee having included it last season. There's no other ground in the league where the cheapest adult seat is more than that. People paid the £30 last season, helped by the feel-good factor, but going over that £30 barrier given the wider economic...

A load of city fans in the pub just decided they are not going to the game. Something just not right with this selection.

Are we now saying then that it is no longer possible for a 2nd tier club to be self-sufficient? That to have any chance Championship clubs need subsidising, either through parachute payments or via a wealthy benefator? I'm asking the question but I guess the answer is obvious. It's a really...

Sure I'm not the only one to say this, but I really fancy us tomorrow. Expect the away to be rocking and just feel it will all come together.

Stop using the word toxic as I'm not sure you know what it means. So far everyone in this thread has predicted we'll stay up, and crowd firmly behind the team Wednesday. So toxic! If anyone is being unduly negative it is you. Cheer up.

Yep, the amount of stewards and police last night was insane. I know they brought a few dickheads last season, but on a Wednesday night it ain't happening, so police it accordingly and use your noggin. How much say the club have on this I'm not sure though.

I know we've got bigger issues at the moment and this is minor in the scheme of things, but disappointed to see so many empty seats in Singer's Corner last night. The decision to cap capacity and stop all sales in 14 and 15 when many seats are unsold is a mistake. This is the one part of the...

I willing to accept that it went flat at times, but that's a million miles from being toxic as someone suggested. I thought we were poor too. Did we create a clear cut chance all night? Still not panicking though, but I do worry about tomorrow. Looks like a couple may be on the way.

Defeat, a poor performance, questionable team selection and yet somehow people have managed to make this about the support, despite the fact we were urging the team on until the end and provided backing that many teams in this league would love to have. Staggered. This was the last thing I...

It's fucking outrageous tbh. There was zero negativity around me. People making shit up so they can feel superior. Chatting to a Preston fan on the walk home and he commented on how noisy our fans were today (and we can be a lot noisier of course) and said last season we were the best home...

Toxic? Tonight? Give your head a wobble. That's absolute bullshit.

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.
