They are the sort of fans who do 8 or 9 games a season and who cannot make midweek games because of work. They were all set to bite the bullet a few weeks ago as they rode the wave of euphoria, but have now pulled back and had second thoughts. These are the sort of people we need to convince...

Exactly. Unfortunately I know people who already have.

Last season we put them on sale on 9th March, long before it was known what league we would be in (we were 3 points off the play offs as late as April 15th with 5 games left). It is June tomorrow. The issue that people are highlighting is that the delays will result in lost sales, which was...

The Cat A games at the end of the season masked the fact that there were some poor gates earlier in the season for the £33 games (notably down on the previous season). Burnley, Bristol City and even Albion were really poor gates. Sunderland and Norwich also disappointing. To increase prices...

Definitely lost revenue by not releasing earlier, and they are in danger of missing another payday if they don't release tomorrow. A bit odd this.

Yeah, started taking my lad away from the age of 7. Nearly 15 now and it was the first time he'd ever sat. Needless to say he hated it.

Like I said above, didn't see anything. Left Cov at 7, in the pub from 9 and everything good natured all day. Sad to hear there were a couple of isolated incidents. The only asb I saw all weekend was on Sunday having a drink in the Rocket near Euston. Wolves fans having a cocaine orgy in the...

This issue only ever seems to get mentioned when those who usually never watch the club outside of Coventry go to a Wembley final. 20+ years of everyone standing at every away game and no issues or complaints.

Didn't see a single issue all day. A credit to the club and the city.

Genuine attempt for the ball. Yellow at most.

This is just not realistic tbh. Keep both, paying them prem wages and also invest in the squad? Where is that money coming from? DK is not a Saudi prince. Our total wage bill is what, about £12 million? Paying Gus and Vik the kind of wages they might command in the PL would swallow around £6-7...

Yep, Leicester can raise £100m from the sale of their major assets quite easily, could make serious reductions to their wage bill, would still have a strong squad and a comparatively large budget. I'm not sure they're quite as much in the shit as people are making out.

There was a post on here a couple of weeks back suggesting the playoff pot, semis and final, was split between all competing clubs, but that could be wrong looking at that.

Sunderland and Boro also get a 1/4 share of the 50% of the gate receipts from the final. Huddersfield were said to have made a total of around £800,000 from last season's play offs.

Whether there is any arrangement in place for SISU to receive a % of the prize money (no evidence there is) is largely irrelevant to the reason they were there (it won't have been conditional on them turning up 😆). They were there because they would have been invited out of courtesy and they...

Thought he was excellent. Said it during the game a couple of times when Luton players threw themselves to the ground (100% given by EFL refs), but he was having none of it. He's not going to spot everything, but head and shoulders above the dross we have to put up with most weeks.

That's how you see the Leicester game, it's not how many others see it. It means a lot to many fans of both sides, ask Leicester fans from south Leicestershire. It's simple geography with fans living and working alongside each other with split families etc. That's the seed of all football rivalries.

Leicester will be a volatile fixture for obvious reasons, but I suspect there has been more trouble involving City fans over the past couple of seasons than there has with these 2 clubs. Like the vast majority of football fixtures, their games pass off without incident week in week out. One...

Nah, there is no simmering resentment between us and Leeds and Leicester game will be policed to within an inch of its life. The odd flash point perhaps, but nothing more.

Where was this? It was always going to be the case that everyone would stand in the lower tier central blocks. It was also going to be the case that many who usually stand would find themselves in the upper tier where they would be expected to sit. I haven't sat at a city game in 25 years+, so...
