    Those who attend tonight will have priority...

    As I have previously said, the Premier League is a completely different entity now. The biggest league in the world (financially at least!) and attendances have risen dramatically since. Reading pretty much sell out every week, as do Swansea, as do WBA, as do Southampton, as do Fulham. Have...

    Well it was a rough guess, but Brighton sold 17k in their first year back in the Championship. Stoke sold 22 last season. Reading hit 18,000 (their capacity) this year and there's a waiting list in operation (same story at Swansea) which I would imagine operates at most PL clubs. Additionally...

    Yeah could possibly be bringing him in to help train the Bollywood actor they've got on a trainee management course..

    Ahah! Alright! I'm on the same page...now.. I thought you were making a genuine point, because surely he has to have some qualities attracting the hierarchies at said clubs? Evidently not.

    Football and particularly the Premier League is a different entity to when we were in it last though. Attendances and demand have risen everywhere. Imagine a successful promotion from the Championship followed by the Premier League, I wouldn't have thought we'd be far off selling 25k (ish) of...

    So he doesn't want to spend any money..which is attractive to the owners of said football clubs?

    Blackburn interested in him now! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20970174 Maybe I'm missing something but what has he achieved as a football manager to warrant any sort of interest in him!? I was shocked when Blackpool offered him the job and his record there is W-2 D-8 L-2, which is...

    There's no way they'll give priority to people who have evidence of attending 1 game ahead of members, completely undermines the membership scheme!

    We easily have 70k fans, if we were in the Premier League we'd sell the Ricoh out every week! If we got given 45k tickets I'd hope we could sell them all!

    Is this a joke? Willis is definitely benching more than Bailey

    Yeah quite possibly, can only judge it how I saw it though, and we were only in the game for the last half an hour

    Jordan Clarke

    Yeah agree, thought Clarke looked to do the right things when we were in possession too, instead of simply hoofing it back to them

    Pretty interesting article on a formation used by Universidad de Chile Not sure if it'd work in League 1... Revolution in tactics takes Chile by storm Gabriele Marcotti Some call them the “Barcelona of the Americas”. Others go farther. They say Universidad de Chile — “La U” — are the best...

    Strong Enough to Compete in the Championship?

    If a teenager starts in a championship club, regardless of their performances, Premier League clubs will always take a look at them. Therefore I'm sorry, but I wouldn't consider that substantial evidence that he is good enough for Championship at least! Having seen him play many times myself I...

    Strong Enough to Compete in the Championship?

    What substantial evidence do you have to support that? They don't start in our team, haven't had previous success in the Championship, so to say they're Championship at least is a bit far.

    Fair play to him is he was being smug, we got rid of him and he played well and proved some doubters wrong

    Team v MK Dons

    not sure about mcsheffrey up front alone, our formation requires a player that can hold the ball up

    Please

    It's completely out of his hands! If Forest want to sell him then they'll sell him to the best offer they can get, in that situation McGoldrick leaves to whoever pays the most money. The ideal scenario for him is that he gets loaned back to us for the second half of the season, he records a 30...
