    Ipswich Fan In Peace

    I think the promotion puts more pressure on SISU to settle but gives Wasps more negotiating power. If gates go up as expected it's a lot more money we'd be losing by playing in Brum. Not sure if the power shift has any bearing on the chances of getting a deal though - SISU don't like being...

    Will we even see any of it?

    Me too - probably 2.5 to 3 hours to Brum and 2 to 2.5 to Cov. I'll go to local away games but I cannot commit to the expense and time of going to home games often - as you say, the ticket is only a fraction of the expense.

    Will we even see any of it?

    Not entirely true. There has never been a HUMAN vaccine for a corona virus because they are generally mild and there was no need to develop one. There are some vaccines for animals. However, I do agree that a couple of months is unrealistic to go through rigorous testing. My wife used to...

    Will we even see any of it?

    I agree - it doesn't appear to like the heat and dies quite quickly in the open air when it's warm (so I've read). It'll love the cold winter months though and that's when I expect a second wave.

    Will we even see any of it?

    Whilst far from ideal, there could be a benefit to all this. IMO it's crazy that people in the UK cannot legally watch games live over the internet. It's only my opinion, but I think that the impact on live attendances would be small but the number of people subscribing could be large. TV...

    Walshy wants cov

    I have some wonderful news for you! We will not have the same players as them. Putting aside the fact that the Football League wouldn't allow it, it would cause no end of problems when we have to play them.

    Realistic signings

    The refusal to sign is all over the internet. Here's the tweet, or at least a copy. I think he's been getting stick from Villa fans and must have taken it down.

    Realistic signings

    We won't sign Toney: 1. No way we're spunking our entire budget on one player - and even at a discount it would be most of our budget. 2. He doesn't fit the profile of the players we acquire. I was surprised we signed Godden. 3. Peterborough will see him as their ticket out of league 1 next...

    Realistic signings

    He's refused two offers from Villa and then tweeted a vid of himself in sky blue wig and boombox singing 'City's going up'. He seems like a really good kid - I love him.

    One Burge was plenty, thanks.

    Realistic signings

    Agree - he looked very good. And at only 20 fits our recruitment profile perfectly.

    Cannot sign our own player.

    I know. Don't be cross. My point is only that there's many a slip twixt cup and lip.

    Doesn't count as a done deal until he's photographed holding up the shirt and saying how much he's looking forward to this next exciting stage of his career.

    The signings thread

    Now that it's settled, I reckon we'll start the transfer comings and goings soon... Robins has never been slow off the blocks. Shall we keep all the rumours and confirmations on one thread? Maybe make it sticky, Nick? Who is first through the door? My money is on O'Hare.

    Congratulations on your promotion

    I remember you! Thank you and best wishes to you too - hope to meet you next season. One of my favourite games ever took place at Hillsborough in 1987! :)

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Look at O'Hare in that video... he's so enthusiastic. I'd take attitude over ability all day long - but he's got both.
