A package worth that isn’t outlandish imo when you consider sell-on %s, appearances and so on. Pretty sure people said similar things about Hamer and Vik in the summer of 2023 and we negotiated deals that compensated us sufficiently.

I don’t rate Beadle and he doesn’t stack up too well statistically. I showed a Blues fan at work the Simms winner v Sheff W after he told me about a mistake he made in preseason for them. We both reckoned Allsopp will be first choice before the season ends.

The only period he and Simms played upfront together, they both gave a decent return. With BTA, I’m convinced Robins just didn’t have a plan for him. He’s not a winger at this level and it seems that was our plan for him. I’d rather keep Allen and get Andrews out on a productive loan again...

Base fee is £3m for Simms and £2.5m for Bassette… 500k difference.

It was a more general comment but to answer the question, we will play a strong team because Luton are decent opposition. In any case, the club released its pricing structure and the Luton prices are Cat D and £30 for an adult and child ticket isn’t an unreasonable price. It’s not cheap but...

Ideally, yes. Frankly, the risk of needing Collins to fill in is too great. He was given one last chance fter Dovin got injured and he blew it, he’s done here. The start of his Coventry career was strong, but then crashed like its 1929. He needs a change in scenery like Moore.

It’s taking steps to ‘Prem proof’ the squad, £8-9m on two GKs is not that much money in the grand scheme of things. Loaning Rushworth only puts off the inevitable that we need to sign a permanent GK to fight for the Number 1 jersey. Wilson isn’t that guy.

Agreed. I’m sure the last 2 away games to WBA were 20 pointers compared to Saturday games like Plymouth, Sunderland and Norwich. WBA away will always be a sold out allocation. This season, we’ve got some horrible midweek trips for away fans and it makes sense to reward the people who go to...

Wasps is a textbook example of how to cannibalise your customer base by offering cheap/free tickets. If your product is premium, price it accordingly. The points system is an additional incentive to go to these kind of games. No doubt many of the ‘close shoppers’ skipped out on Bristol and...

This moaning is just jarring now. A tenner for an U18 ticket is a reasonable price. STHs usually get a small discount to reserve the ST seat too. ‘For a poor league cup tie’ is key here and betrays the actual motive of why a lot of people won’t go.

Does anyone want my ticket? My original plans aren’t going to work so won’t make KO.

All the best to you too. To say it’s not an unforced error, what is?

It’s irritating when people say it costs ‘x’ for a family of 4. Any product or service is obviously more expensive when you times it by 2-3. It’s unfortunate Most of the games this season will be Cat B and this is reasonable pricing and in line with what other clubs are charging. It is...

3000 tickets would be available to purchase so the price only impacts that many. I don’t think there will be more than 4 Cat A+ games all season and probably specifically has the Birmingham and Leicester home games in mind. The 20,000 who bought a ST are not impacted unless we get a money...

So? There was plenty of opportunities to purchase them before this news before the STs sold out. It’s going to impact a small number of games so again, it’s making a mountain of mole hill. I hope Boxing Day isn’t a Cat A+ game because £45 for a ticket for away fans travelling from Swansea isn’t...

Not really the same is it? Our goal was poor defending from your defender whereas your winner at our place was from an unforced error. MVE’s back pass was should have been routine but was underpowered which left the GK in no man’s land. Credit to your players for chasing the ball and punishing...

The same was said about Haji Wright and when he’s fully fit and firing, he’s a league leading player in his positions.

Seems like a storm in a teapot to be honest because it only impacts about 6k supports split roughly evenly between the away supporters and Cov walk ups. I have a bit more empathy for away supporters because they don’t get to choose to get a ST or not. Our ST prices remain v cheap, and that’s...

You might want to keep them. Would they be willing to stay if they were pushed further down the pecking order? It’s apparent that both players want to be starters. How do you improve the CM / CB positions without letting players go? I’m relaxed about changing the CM department as long as we...

Both Eccles and Lati have played outside their primary position a handful of times over the last 2 seasons. Eccles is a solid player who’d start for every team outside the Top 8 comfortably. On Lati, it’s telling that he started off first choice for Robins and Lampard to end up losing that...
