    I know but you said they stayed up having barely spent anything, which I don't think ~£70m is. Even if we speculate a bit knowing we've got £150m coming in at the end of the season I don't think we'll be able (or want) to spend anything near that. Which as I said, shows what we're up against.

    First city game

    5 years old, City 3-0 Middlesbrough, Dec 28th 1996. Went with my Dad, brother and Grandad and remember it was fucking freezing. I remember being in the stand opposite the main stand with a blanket and having Oxtail soup out of a flask at half time, nothing of the match itself.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    Not sure how accurate these are or if someone's put this somewhere else but I'm seeing a lot of talk about pitch dimensions so thought I'd actually look into it. All in metres: Kenilworth Road - 100x65 CBS - 105x68 Wembley - 105x68 https://www.football-stadiums.co.uk/grounds/england/

    Still pinching myself

    On The Athletic's weekend preview pod for the Premier League the guy from Bet365 said either team will be the shortest odds for relegation a promoted team has ever been. Obviously, we all want us to stay up but I wouldn't be disillusioned if we came straight back down having spent sensible...

    Best thing if we go up

    Being on MOTD again. And do FIFA still recreate all PL team's stadium? If so, I'm glad we got rid of Wasps and all their signage in time. Not bought it in years but would have to if we went up.

    "Barely spending anything" was ~£70m. In the summer they brought in people like McBurnie for £18m, then Berge for £20m in January. I wonder whether Doug's got that in his back pocket or the desire to speculate/take a loan knowing he's getting a massive chunk at the end of the season.

    Plucky Forest, done it all with nothing but determination, spirit and spending £150m on 25 players. Shows what a job we’d have on our hands if we went up.

    Yep, first blazed over and the other 2 saved. Only 4/8 scored in the whole thing.

    The Nationwide £100

    Doesn’t look like I’ll get it. Have had a current account for 15 years but barely used it for the last 5, and a credit card I use fairly often but that doesn’t count.

    Coventry City v Luton Town - Championship playoff final - 27th May 2023 - Wembley Stadium

    I'd wager a quarter of them were Hamer in the first 7 matches

    Final Tickets Thread. Yessss

    My guess is the tickets will be emailed to you and you'll be able to scan your phone at the turnstiles, or print them off if you wish. That's how Wembley has operated for a while now.

    I know a couple of people who've had immediate access to priorities after getting STs. One for the Boro home leg, one for today.

    Can confirm I'm not in the £98 seats, one of the ones behind the goal

    Thanks for the responses folks, was just worried I might be told to sit down and not sing as much. I hoped everyone would be pretty up for a Championship play-off final though!

    Anyone got any idea what the atmosphere in the middle tier will be like from past experience? Got a couple in there for the view but realised after that it's probably a padded seat and might be more subdued.
