    Online tickets?

    If it's Arsenal you're after it's sold out. Any other game its probably not working properly, which is a fairly regular occurrence. they only ever seem to put blocks on sale one at a time so if they've sold out of one block you have to wait for someone to notice and put the next one online for sale.

    The I would of gone if I could get a ticket thread

    Most people who said they couldn't go for a Friday night game seemed to suggest the issue was getting the last train back. The train company then announced details of a later train to accommodate those fans so that was no longer an issue. Sure there are some who couldn't make it who would have...

    Preston match thread

    would happily settle for a point today. always worry about our defence when playing the better teams. Can't rely on always scoring several goals ourselves.

    Arsenal sold out now?

    And again it comes back to why not put them on general sale a few days before the deadline to be able to make an educated decision on if the extra tickets were needed? Of course what they are basically saying there is screw those that do want to go a few extra quid is more important. They would...

    Arsenal sold out now?

    So it's the fault of SBT forum now, even SISU haven't tried that as an excuse! If they pay so much attention to what people posting on here want how come they seem to have ignored everything else aimed at them?

    The Higgs Share..

    Must be plans somewhere as there's articles online saying the plans were rejected! All the articles use the artists impassion as I guess that looks better to illustrate an article.

    Arsenal sold out now?

    That would be a great court case. Judge: Why didn't you offer them more tickets Arsenal: We did and they said they didn't want them as nobody would buy them SISU: errrm, it's the councils fault

    The Higgs Share..

    There are at least pictures somewhere online, think they were posted on here. You'll be surprised to know by the same company that did our artists impression! Just take the one we were shown and make the seats red and that's pretty much it. Brentford rejected those plans as they weren't...

    Disheartening Sky Blue's Story On The Way..

    Not saying the previous owners weren't terrible but I think you have to draw a line the day SISU took over. The did, or at least had the opportunity, to do due diligence. They came in telling us we would own the ground and be in the premier league so that have, by any criteria you care to judge...

    Disheartening Sky Blue's Story On The Way..

    Higgs didn't really get involved as an investment though did they? They did it to help the football club out and "to make a step change in the north west of the city through economic regeneration bringing employment and other economic benefits to the people of Coventry". In theory there was no...

    The Higgs Share..

    I've always thought they'd buy the land but they don't even seem able to do that! They could easily buy land, keep it a few years and sell it on losing very little, may even make profit. Also thought they'd get plans out, can't be too expensive to buy 'off the shelf' plans based on someone...

    Arsenal sold out now?

    Red Action Gooners, one of their supporters groups, have been asking their fans to join the protest.

    Arsenal sold out now?

    Exactly, even if it genuinely is nothing more than a mistake it just highlights the appalling way everything about the club is run these days. Those say SISU would have to pay if they weren't all sold make it sound like they'd be putting their hands in their pockets which is of course nonsense...

    The Higgs Share..

    Any pretty much every time they've asked for more CCC / ACL / Higgs have moved to at least partially meet their demands. I think now we're at a point where if talks are to ever resume SISU have to be the ones to show some willingness.

    The Higgs Share..

    Higgs and the council have, at least publicly, always stated they were happy to talk at any time if a serious offer is made. I suspect in Higgs case it would now require paying the legal fees owed from last time round and SISU dropping their court action before they would enter talks again. Of...

    The Higgs Share..

    Worth pointing out nothing has ever been put to the council to even have a chance of exercising their veto. If they purchased half of ACL now they could spend the next couple of years working in partnership with the council and building up the level of trust, at that point they may have more...

    The Higgs Share..

    They did and Higgs agreed a HOT only to never hear from SISU again. I believe the 'formula' price was around £10m and SISU offered around half that but still had their bid accepted. SISU should have really exercised the right to purchase 50% of ACL on day one. They would have got all match day...

    New shirt sponsor unveiled this afternoon

    For the cup final wasn't there a coach company that wanted to make a deal to drive the team to the game but got told to get stuffed as we always used Harry Shaw?

    New shirt sponsor unveiled this afternoon

    As the saying goes 'perception is reality', it doesn't really matter what Grace have said if the perception is they have been kicked out for SISU to make a few quid off this match. Given that this response is entirely predictible why not do something to head off any criticism before it gets...
