Surely the fact that we sold out the original allocation of 34k shows that the club initially got it right?

I suspect if we were owed money Doug would have them in court quicker than you could say points deduction

As a transition season, all I wanted this year was to be in with a chance of the playoffs, and we’ve done that. The club overall has improved yet again this season (even if league position hasn’t) and next season we’ll be a real force to be reckoned with. My only frustration stems from the...

Those two teams have also spent the last month trying to throw away their seasons

You're expecting a spectacular collapse of home form?

We got 70 points last season Hulls recent form is worse than ours

League position is in part dependent on the opposition. It’s a more difficult league this year. We’re still better than this time last season in terms of points

Man Utd have also only beat 1 superior team to get there. Not all new players are equal We haven’t gone backwards

It will be a completely different performance at Wembley. I guarantee that win or lose, we’ll play well. That however is what is so frustrating.

This team isn’t ready for the playoffs anyway. Like we’ve all said for months, next season is the one. This team is still mentally weak. They’ve bottled it in the same way that we did in 21-22. That team were then far stronger in the following season and made the playoffs. A trip to Wembley...

At least we'll avoid the humiliation of swathes of empty seats like at Sheff Utd & Man City's game last year (Sheff Utd allowed season ticket holders to buy 5 tickets each)

A majority of a clubs employees is non playing staff. Legal fees in any major organisation are always going to be significant

Its wages, utilities, maintenance, travel, legal fees etc are not fixed

Because it’s moronic. They don’t want the clubs income to increase, but want spending on the team to increase. Mayor Quimbys Bear Tax springs to mind

Which means the football clubs inflation is also far greater. Why do you think the club should absorb higher costs but the spectators shouldn’t?

Majority of club staff are not players. They are matchday stewards, and servers in the concourse bars. They all just had about a 10% increase

Probably true but it doesn’t mean it should be completely ignored. If people want a decent team they should be prepared to contribute towards it. How would you feel about Doug increasing tickets by 2%? Roughly an £8 increase

It won’t just be ticket sales. I imagine merchandise and f&b have increased as well. People seem to think that football clubs are immune to rising costs.

So how should the club make up the shortfall?

Average pay rises are well over 2%
