    Ipswich fans planning to be in the South Stand

    But how do you achieve this? The biggest complaint about opening up the extra blocks to home fans is that its 'day trippers' and those currently in singers corner want to be closest to away fans to generate atmosphere. It then follows that if those blocks are being opened up regularly for home...

    We should not let this go, the game is corrupt to the core

    What on earth is 'most correct'? If they're giving offside decisions based on players positions by a fraction of a millimetre and the idea that offside is not in anyway subjective, 'you're either offside or your not', then by definition there can only be one correct frame.

    Ipswich fans planning to be in the South Stand

    Club can’t win. Years of moaning that away fans can have 6K and it helps the opposition. Club stop it and now we’ve got people moaning we could have sold more tickets to a away fans

    Premier League thread

    They’ve just moved that forward a frame so its when the ball leaves the foot not when it was first contact which is the opposite of what we’ve been told all week

    VAR needs an overhaul

    Not sure how you could work this in football but in ice hockey if you challenge and you're wrong your team gets a penalty - which means you're a player short for 2 minutes. End result is teams don't challenge just because they hope something will be found, they are 99% certain any challenge is...

    VAR needs an overhaul

    Been a lot of talk about frame rates, which is 100% a problem because the maths simply doesn't support the level of accuracy they're applying. But there's also an issue of camera angles, they're essentially drawing lines based on guesswork as the camera is rarely dead in line. Posted this...

    The latest generation of scanners (the type you walk through) can supposedly detect small amounts of drugs. Not sure if the ones they use at the O2 do that but they definitely detect other things and have replaced searching everyone. You literally just walk through them without stopping and they...

    Peter Bankes needs investigating

    This is the key thing for me. I've been saying since they brought it in the maths doesn't add up. You simply can't get the level of accuracy they're using it for. Quite surprised this hasn't been picked up on more over the last few years as is something factual rather than claiming the...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Hull City Match Thread - Wednesday 24th Apr

    Have to leave this one up to the management team to decide who physically and mentally are in a position to be starting tonight Going to be hard to get them up for this after the weekend, just hope people don't get on their backs if we're not 3-0 up in 30 minutes

    Things that annoy you

    its never going to change if when anyone suggests peoples pay shouldn't decrease in real terms the response is get a new job, train for something else, spend less money or something similar I think as a basic rule of thumb anyone who is in full time employment should be able to afford a half...

    Just been watching some NHL ice hockey videos so shameless stealing a couple of things they do for season ticket holders, something maybe the club could consider Before the final game of the season there a random draw for season ticket holders and the winners get a match worn shirt from the...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    https://sotn.newstatesman.com/2024/04/the-real-labour-poll-lead Found this quite interesting. The could be worse responses seem to give some weight to the idea that it's more a case of people not voting Conservative than having any great desire or incentive to vote Labour. Obviously they will...

    I didn't use my mobile ticket as I'd printer one out 'just in case', were they tap in or did you have to scan the QR code? if its scanned no reason they can't be used next season. TM clearly has the functionality and the readers at the CBS work on barcodes now so you'd think it's easy to...

    Things that annoy you

    Few years ago when there was a bit of a push for an actual living wage before the government hijacked the term and used it for minimum wage Whitbread claimed that if it was brought in they would have no choice but to significantly increase prices. Group of economists ran the numbers and if every...

    Matty Godden

    Robins isn't really one for sentiment but if Kelly and Godden are off and its a nothing game they should both play and get a decent send off. Both have been here a while, especially the way players move in the modern game, and have played their part in our move up the leagues.

    Ref Watch on Sky Sports

    the worst ones are on live games where they won't give their opinion until VAR has come through so they never say the officials got it wrong

    Terrace originals , we'll live and die in the towns tshirt

    Someone from the bands management company should get onto the club and get some 'official' shirts in the club shop ASAP. They'd fly out. Got a couple of old Enemy tour t-shirts, one is a sky blue shirt with Coventry on it and the other is Subbuteo players in sky blue.
