Check my comment history, I am not normally a histrionics or reactionary type of poster. The title of the thread was on the proviso that he was indeed abandoning consession pricing for 16yos, which in my view would have been a shambles.

I am pleased the pricing structure that's been announced is actually very reasonable for adults, and Doug King has in the main listened to historical fan concerns, even if I would have personally added 5% to adult prices and subsidised the next generation of fans tickets a little more. Anyway...

Your right there is nothing in between the two pricing systems. Also was the conversation not about young adult prices? Look at the real terms cost of living for this age group, what sociaitial enjoyments they have post covid isolation. Football is huge for them and the "tuff, that's life...

@Saddlebrains is known to be accurate and my post was written in the hope Doug will have a rethink rather than have to do anymore U-turns.

These pricing changes are still rumoured - we'll know for sure tomorrow. But if he's about to scrap the young adult tickets entirely when prices drop tomorrow we're looking at 16-year-old kids - still at school, still living with mum and dad - being asked to cough up nearly £40 for a Category A...

Haha might have but not sure the dates would align anyway! Its not quite as hot as the south of Europe in the summer months and two decent Spanish teams would be good tests and the for the club.

What I would like to see..... Fixtures: Cheltenham Town (Away) Date: Earlish July Location: Whaddon Road, Cheltenham Walsall FC (Away) Earlish July Bescot Stadium, Walsall Another local match that will attract fans and help build team chemistry and connection. Las Palmas (Away) Mid-July...

Just under 50% about 43% with the last 2 seasons being a bigger trapdoor for the promoted clubs. If it happens next season I think we cam conclusively say the gap is widening. People forget Brighton, Brentford, Bournemouth, Forest when they wheel out the impossible to stay up, the gaps too big...

Just did some number crunching on how promoted teams fare in their first PL season since 1992... It was a 56% survival rate - basically a coin flip Looked at all 32 seasons, 96 promoted teams total: 54 stayed up 42 went straight back down What usually happens: 2 out of 3 survive (most...

Sensible move and he leaves with his head held high having helped us into the playoffs, also moving to a decent club. We need quality this window with 2 or 3 Grimes esq (ability wise) starters and a couple of loans using Frank's contacts book.

Agree

For a team that wants to be at the top that forward line looks light. We need 4 strikers, ideally with one who can also cover the wing.

Suspect they agreed to pay his wages with immediate effect which would be net positive to the club.

Towards the end of the window I would agree. Maybe I am being foolishly optimistic but I am hoping we will sign players who are noticeably better than what we have I.e. Grimes was clearly a cut above Eccles, Allen etc in the role he plays for us than anyone else at the club.

I think we need to be looking for better players. Not that he is bad, but wingers and forwards (given the systems reliance on them) need to be where we invest in real quality Not padding out the squad.

To get anywhere near 90 would we not have to remove some seating!!

While I agree to an extent, if a club in Saudi or the USA 'wants' Hadji they could easily spend 15-18 million on him, even as on option on the bench. He is also a USA international and the USA are hosting the World Cup next summer. These factors create premiums and for the Saudi league he would...

Sorry yes he is but that is the compensation the owners are expecting! https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/barry-fry-makes-intriguing-kwame-poku-birmingham-city-switch-claim-as-peterborough-exit-nears/

Seems they want 10 million for him too!!

I suspect Binks, Lati, Bidwell, Simms and maybe Wright would also be in the 'avaliable for transfer category'
