    Calling the ticket office

    What did people do before the internet? I can't really remember buying many tickets in advance unless it was a big game. Just turned up and paid on the gate.

    Calling the ticket office

    Totally agree. You can have the best system in the world but if you can't ever speak to anyone when you need to it all falls down.

    Wigan Match Thread

    Callum Wilson on the bench for Bournemouth today. They're away at Villa and Villa could go down. Wonder what odds you can get on Wilson sending them down?

    Wigan Match Thread

    Nothing like a huge over-reaction, people on twitter going nuts. One even saying he's going to stop supporting the club because of it!

    Wigan Match Thread

    Doesn't look like there's any technicality. Have either Cole or Bigi been released from their contracts? If not hopefully its a mistake and the team sheet they've submitted is different.

    Calling the ticket office

    The ticket system we use at the moment is an off the shelf package which would have been a one off purchase. Thats why it doesn't work as well with things like iPhones, the software has never been updated since it was purchased. The only ongoing cost is maintaining the hardware it is located on...

    Why don't people indicate anymore?

    Don't get me started on schools. I live about 100 foot from a primary school. The parents are a nightmare. They will quite happily block the road, park on corners blocking the view etc but moan about non-parents being a danger to their kids! What happened to people walking to school?

    The phone in!!

    That's the key point. Forget what we got for players in the past there seems to be a trend for the top clubs to take players earlier. With the EPPP that means we only get £3K a year for 9-11 and £25K a year for 12-16, assuming the changes at Higgs don't affect our academy status, if it does we...

    Are you saying boxers and horses have the same level of intelligence? :D

    You can, either use the quick tickets option which works with the built in browser or install a browser that has flash.

    The phone in!!

    He's a great example. What was he, 19 or 20 when he came to us. Why pay for an academy to develop players when you can let someone else do it and pick up the cast offs. As NW says you need a Wilson or Maddison every 4 years. That's great if you keep producing them and they stay long enough to...

    The phone in!!

    You can see why some teams have wound up their academies since the EPPP came in. How many first teamers do we get coming through a year? Lets be generous and say 5, that's £200K a go. The compensation scheme means if Sambou goes we get back about £100K, so taking into account the FA money we...

    Calling the ticket office

    If they haven't got the capacity to answer the calls they should remove that option. Anything that can be done online should be online only or pay on the day. Free the phone line up for things that can't be done online.

    Grand National

    Find that really shocking. That's over 150 a year just in the UK. Just googled a bit about it and it looks like you can treble that when you take into account deaths that don't occur during a race. How is that allowed to happen with seemingly so little opposition?

    Cold calling

    I've got a phone number as part of my Virgin package but I didn't even bother getting it cabled in let alone connecting a phone to it. Only number I have and if it isn't a number I recognise or is withheld I let it go to voicemail.

    Coventry Bears playing at the Ricoh

    750 - 1000, anything over 1000 seems to be regarded as excellent.

    Calling the ticket office

    Think if that happens the next round of legal action would be SISU going after compensation. With the Ricoh now out of the picture they could go all out and attempt to get the cost of a new stadium. Long way to go before we get to that stage though.
