    Our grounds too big for us (Sky Sports)

    Early 90s when I started going to away games regularly you could just turn up at the likes of Chelsea and Arsenal and pay on the gate.

    TM's Appeal...

    Its not like there isn't plenty of things that have done to moan at them about - no need to make up more things!

    El Capaitano

    Wish they'd bring this in for football. Automatic yellow card for anyone but the captain who speaks to the ref. Would some calm the histrionics down.

    Surprised we're not bottom to be honest.

    Season Ticket Sales

    This is an odd argument. We've already dropped season ticket prices significantly and haven't seen a large increase in sales. What makes anyone think that a further reduction would suddenly have people rushing to buy?

    Season Ticket Sales

    The early bird is to encourage people to purchase early, in part to ensure the club has money coming in over the summer when there are no matches. That's why all clubs do the same thing. If they stayed the same price a lot of people would wait until the last minute so as well as not having any...

    Wayward Pines

    Only tonight and next week to go. There's talk of it coming back for a second season as its done good ratings however they have promised it won't end on a cliffhanger and will still be a self contained mini-series. Not sure how they'd make more, its based on a series of 3 books but there's no...

    The Ashes

    Looks like Australia could happily bat for a couple of days. Lets hope if they do we manage the same and play out the draw. With England you always have the fear that it will suddenly stop being a good batting track when we get in!

    Sheffield Wednesday match day ticket prices

    The question is will people still buy them? If they do they you can argue the owners have just maximised income, supply & demand and all that. If the grounds half empty and total ticket revenues are down, and lower crowds would mean other revenues drop, then the owners will rightly have a lot of...

    In Times of Austerity

    But what are you going to cut? Pensions make up nearly half of welfare spending, if anything that needs to go up not down? Jobseekers is only about 3% of the total spend and incapacity similar. Housing benefit is the next biggest chunk after pensions and that's only about 10% of the total, and...

    Collecting Season Tickets?

    Sure all these people who are desperate to go in the shop and spend money will find a reason not to go in on match days.

    In Times of Austerity

    The polls seem to be running around 80% against, not sure how any MP can vote yes and claim to be representing the electorate if that's representative. Pisses me off that he's allowed to move the vote as he was going to lose. Plus it was supposed to be a free vote and now he's making noises...

    Pre - season friendlies

    I think a lot of teams just do it as they've done it for years. Not necessarily abroad years ago but some sort of pre-season trip. These days in the lower leagues I don't think its much use as the point at which you're going away you don't have half you squad in place. It's not like if we'd...

    Away Kit

    Suspect it's a system issue as they aren't even getting here until the end of the month.

    I was made to feel stupid by Coventry City

    These days I tend to just use this forum. If anything happens it ends up on here straight away, if not before the club and CT announce it.

    We've been using the offices at Lockhurst Lane since we moved back from Sixfields, not sure why its come as a huge shock to so many.
