Because he’s probably buying end of life stuff and if it doesn’t sell it’ll go to waste.

My point is if a ticket is selling at £45 then a City fan is willing to pay for it and I’m not about to sit here and tell them they shouldn’t have it. Attendances are sky high. More city fans than ever are watching us live. All by choice. And the majority paying nothing like £45. No one is being...

The vast majority of people in the stadium are paying nothing like that. And those that are deem it worth the money. Maybe they’re just bigger fans than those that don’t?

I’m Just psychologically I assume? There’s nothing like we’re due more if he’s played or anything is there? Or is there?

Was just a play on your politician style “ordinary hardworking people”.

In the age of dodgy fire sticks I don’t think anyone is forced to pay if they want to watch tbf and we’ve had to hike the kids prices because those ordinary hardworking people kept buying them. People always want stuff cheaper. The ultimate test of price is the attendance and that’s at record...

I just don’t think he’s a very good defender. It’s not that deep. He does other stuff, but as a CB it’s his defending that concerns me.

Depends on if you see the tickets as a commodity or a social good we should ensure equal access to. We see it as the latter but Doug is very much a private businessman. If we want high level football in the current game we have to pay high wages and that means high ticket prices. I think once...

Went in the Balcony Bar, got a voucher through the post, free hotdog and coke next game. Seemed alright to me. Last season I got FA.

Arguably if we sell out we’ve prided our tickets too low. Optimal financial return would be one ticket left that’s too expensive I think. Cos then you’ve tapped out everyone at that price and would lose more reducing price to get that last person than you’d make.

He’s not a starter.

Oh god it’s the new “Ben Wilson is the greatest keeper we’ve ever had”

He’s still a very mid defender. Fans love “hard man” I guess though.

I’ve long been an advocate of this. But would it lead to teams wasting time to get a breather more safe in the knowledge they won’t be punished?

That just effectively doubles the price of attendance. It’s the same solution! Youre prioritising those with the most resource and denying those with less the chance for a cheaper ticket. Fact is we all want to watch 23 year olds earning more in a month than we do all year and someone’s got to...

You’d think if we were going to rest people it would be Tuesday, at home, team lower in the league, halfway between the two. Does feel like our alternate starting XI is more of an away side though.

What’s a fairer way to allocate goods that are in limited supply? Fact is when the club isn’t doing well it doesn’t matter how much tickets are no fucker is buying them so I won’t begrudge them cashing in when things are going well. Swings and roundabouts really.

Think Haji is suffering a bit too and our wing play is better with him in the team. I’d be bringing him in as soon as he’s fit.

Hope so. We’ll need a backup LB this season.

Yeah the assumption was he’d come in for Dasilva and we’d let Bidwell go. The fact he can’t get on the pitch isn’t great when we need to be able to sub off our fullbacks and Bidwell has looked well past it. We’ve got a tiny squad and don’t really have room for random third choice gambles so...
