    Wasps set to play key home matches at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry

    I've been trying to find out why they need to play here. It seems they are essentially homeless and have ended up in Wycombe. There's a proposed new ground project by Wasps, Wanderers and the council but I can't find a reason why they can't play all their games in Wycombe until then. Only thing...

    Transferring a Sixfields Season Ticket?

    I think you just get a match ticket for Gllingham and then your new season ticket location will be effective from the following game.

    Swindon Town Match Thread

    Be happy to keep picking up points away from home, a 1-1 will do me.

    Great PR

    This happens with most online ticketing systems when there's a surge in demand. Pretty much the only site that doesn't get it is ticket master as they have separate front end and back end servers and will queue you up so once you get to the front of the queue you get moved to a different server...

    Bought ticket no confirmation email???

    The confirmation emails are a bit hit and miss at the best of times. If you go on the website you can look at your purchase history, if its in there you'll be fine.

    Pitch - Looking Better...

    You might be thinking of when Leicester reserves (or youth team) played at the Ricoh last year, think that was his suggestion.

    Premier club obsolete.

    so long as a decent replacement is being offered I don't see what the problem is. Maybe they are taking this chance to refresh what packages they have on offer. If so you can't really hold all that back for a small number of people who have the existing package.

    Wasps set to play key home matches at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry

    Hopefully not a problem. Although there are multiple people using the pitch between them it's probably only going to total 20 games max. Two teams managed at Sixfields last year and when we had a reserve side they always used to play a full season at HR. You would imagine things have moved on...

    Wasps set to play key home matches at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry

    What's the deal with London Wasps, are they genuinely without somewhere to play and we'd be doing them a favour or is it a similar situation to us going to Sixfields? If their fans are in favour then I have no problem with it, worries about the pitch aside which we can't really complain about if...

    With Just a Little Success Our Club Could Really Take Off...

    I think we could be a sustainable championship side but at that point you hit the issue that you're competing with teams who will happily lose millions a year. Of course spending more doesn't automatically make you successful but it certainly helps. Problem is what do we class as success...

    season tickets

    This is an issue with whatever backend system they are using. It has never worked in IE and doesn't work particularly well in general, things like password resets always seem to fail. I guess they use that system rather than someone like ticketmaster as the cost is lower but it would be nice if...

    There's A Couple Of Hours I'll Never Get Back

    I don't think the prices are bad really, look at what other teams charge and we're pretty good value. Never been a fan of prices going up on matchday, can only put people off who think about going at the last minute. Didn't they ditch it at one point as they had constant complaints about it?

    Attendance for Gillingham

    So what, if any, record will we beat? We've topped 30K twice, 31,407 for Chelsea and 31,054 for the JPT. 28,184 is the highest FL attendance - that was against Leeds in Nov 2010. Record in L1 is 15,185, against Shrewsbury on New Years Day 2013 - we should be able to beat that one at least.

    what song should the players run out to on the 5th of september ?

    Cheesy songs like Boys are Back in Town, 3 Lions etc will probably get played in the hour or so before the game. I'd go Mr Blue Sky and the either Twist and Shout or Sky Blue Song for the team coming out. Definitely no goal music.

    Seating changes for Ricoh Return

    I get the idea but my preference would be to start selling away tickets from block 11 & 12 and the release more when needed. Close off say 24-27 and 32-35 along with how ever many rows at the back you need to bring the capacity down to the required level. That should mean not too many people...

    what song should the players run out to on the 5th of september ?

    Maybe they could get the marching band in and they could play the Sky Blue Song with everyone singing along.

    Carl Baker

    Why do we, or anyone else for that matter, not put clauses in contracts relating to what division we are in. Something like in the championship you get paid x amount, in L1 y amount. Add in decent bonus for promotion so a player has some incentive for staying and trying to get us back up. You...

    Carl Baker

    So last season, where the general consensus is he was well below his best in the second half of the season, he got 7 goals and 7 assists. Can you see any of our current midfield doing as well or better than that? He's not a world beater, if he was he wouldn't be playing in L1, but is he worse...

    Carl Baker

    If I thought this was SP's decision I'd find it easier to accept but we're talking about a player who, just 6 months ago, he was warning other clubs off and talking about how vital he was to his plans. Now we can all argue about how good he is or isn't but his stats over the last couple of...

    The Ricoh Affect

    A lot will come down to how we start. Bright start, win a couple of games and hopefully we can retain a decent sized crowd and a positive atmosphere. A first 45 mins like we had against Cardiff and we all know what will happen.
