It does seem strange that a stadium built to hold 32k for men’s football matches can’t handle that capacity. I suppose it ultimately comes down to morons who think it’s okay to use football and our club for anti social and violent activities. It does seem that the problems with people attacking...

Unfortunately you can still make out their name and logo where it used to be stuck in the outside of the arena. Needs painting over I assume.

Any excuse to give Gareth’s song another airing!

One of the things that I found annoying with all of the segregation that exists is the closure of the club shop after games until (presumably) the away coaches have gone. I tried to go in after one of the games last season but was told by the steward manning the fence that I’d have to wait until...

Ticket bought over the phone this morning, thanks for the help!

Thanks for the replies. I’ll try and call tomorrow

I think you’re right. If no solution was forthcoming on here this evening, I am planning on joining the inevitable ticket office queue tomorrow.

Rather late in the day, we have decided to renew my granddaughter’s season ticket. We tried to do it online this afternoon. Everything was fine until we came to pay and a message came up saying that a child’s ticket could not be bought alone, it has to be bought in conjunction with an adult...

Blackburns failure to beat Bolton three days before the Wolves game confirmed our promotion. By the time we met, both Wolves and ourselves were up.

It took him those three games to get to grips with the team. After these games the form of that team was transformed. A team that was constantly losing hit a level that wasn’t far off play off form if continued across a season. Oxford were red hot favourites for that game. I’m pretty sure if...

I don’t think you take into account the other costs of attending games. Admittedly the money doesn’t go to the club, but it still leaves the bank account. Travel costs are not cheap. Lots of people travel long distances both to home and away games. Anyone who did the recent Preston/ Wigan/...

He did for a while

Well that isn’t true. Milne had to work with severe financial restraints for much of his time at City. He took us to the second highest finish in our history and was a whisker away from having us qualify for Europe. He also produced arguably the best ever City team, certainly my favourite ever...

Having been to both of the recent games at the Riverside, I have been really impressed with the support for Boro. Last night in particular I thought the home support was great, really noisy. Mark Robins commented on the noise in the stadium in his post match comments. What really showed the...

Graham Oakey (my favourite ever right back), not Donal Murphy

I disagree. There’d be calls for Robins head after the first two games if we hadn’t won one of them. Using the first games back in League One after promotion as a case in point. We lost to Scunthorpe at home (unluckily) and held Wimbledon 0-0 away in the next game. Robins was getting dogs abuse...

The instance that I can remember with McSheffrey was. I think in the 6-1 win over Derby when Dennis Wise made his debut. As far as I can remember, Stern John had already scored two when City were awarded a penalty. McSheffrey was the designated taker and insisted on taking the pen which John...

It was v Stevenage I think

If Reading brought 1500, that would have left 4500 spaces in the away end. So they were saying there were 4500 empty seats in the rest of the ground? If there were, we couldn’t see them. It had to be more than was published.

Bobby Gould I think scored 24 1966-67 promotion season. Could be an omen!
