The thing you have to ask there though is would this many people still want to go in that scenario? Is some of it not rose tinted spectacles that ignores the negatives of herding thousands of people onto a crumbling terrace?

Given that tweet above, I would say Leeds. If you can only sell players for £3.5m that you paid £120m for, you’d have to say the club has some serious competency issues at the top

I was saying this to my mate the other day. Its very unusual for all 3 relegated teams to seriously challenge. You often have one that gets an auto place, one that just misses the play offs, and one that ends up about 13th

Think it’ll end up at 19k. We might cross 20k in winter with half season tickets

Good point that we’re all ignoring. Simple supply and demand

Leicester probably will. Which means one or both of Southampton & Leeds will struggle to make an impact

They’re definitely still selling. Behind the goal and blocks 23 & 24 look like a few have shifted this week

Doug has no idea how to generate income. We need to get people from here in charge

It doesn’t surprise me. Football clubs pay thousands a year to have a police presence at games, yet when a criminal offence occurs in a ground the police just stand around watching. If there are no consequences to being a hooligan then it will obviously occur more often

Exactly. The supplier can value him as they want. The buyer can offer what they want. Where they agree is the value. As such Vik's value is £20m. Doug King was spot on to ask for that

But that is the modern game. That is how it is. However we've played it as well this time, and got ourselves a great fee. Things have changed. Sisu (circa 2008-2016) would've sold him for about £4m. Then complained that there wasn't any money to build a decent team and blamed...

Main difference is this time we've got a great fee, and it appears we're re-investing that in the team

Its actually in our interest for him to succeed, as we'll get a hefty sell on fee. Even without that Vik has always worked his socks of for us, and seems like a decent bloke. Apart from a few ill-judged comments the other week, he has been the model professional

I hope he goes on to have a great career. He played a massive part in the resurgence of our club, and the huge profit he has generated for us puts us in a great position for the future

A bit like the Stoke game this season

I did it myself last year. My old work would’ve meant me missing midweek games, so I wasn’t sure if it was worth it. However I changed jobs in July which meant I could make them, so bought it then

Think they’ll be a slow trickle over the next month with us ending up at 19k

Big numbers next season need a big atmosphere. The Birmingham game at the end of this season was the best overall atmosphere ever at the CBS/Ricoh IMO We need this every game next season

I’d say 22-23k if we’re having an alright season. If we have a good season again I think we’d be looking at 25k

Some other clubs I’ve seen limit season ticket sales at 85% of home capacity. If we’re not including blocks 10-13, that would be about 21k
