Think there is a Leamington and Warwick supporters club meeting with Dave Boddy tonight. Be interested to hear what he has to say on the transfer front if anyone on here is going along.

I'm more interested to hear about the ticketing priority front!

That’s interesting, would these pre season tours be booked a year or two in advance or are they that committed to growing the ‘brand’ they don’t care who’s out there?

@Skyblueweeman might know a little more

EPL teams pre-season tours can be booked a year or two in advance but this is rare. They tend to be tied into sponsorship deals so if one of your main sponsors is a Thai company for example, you'll likely head out to Thailand as part of your preseason.

For the majority of clubs - all EFL and some EPL, clubs only start looking around Dec time for the following summer. I know I was speaking Cov about Spain in January and not everything had been sorted then.

Clubs want to get a feel of how they're doing in the league. If it's looking like a good season, they might consider a trip abroad or if they're having a stinker and looking at a relegation battle then they'll shelve such plans and do a UK based preseason.

There are exceptions to the above to be fair but that's my experience with all the teams I've worked with.

They’ve taken him to play left back, his strengths were mostly going forward so be interesting to see if he holds down a place there

Can Dujon Sterling play RWB and LWB? I cant remember if he can play both sides, because he looked good against us for Blackpool (minus the Viktor goal at home), I reckon he’d be a good option off the bench

He's played there, but it's a push to say he can play both flanks... Got dropped at RB early on in 18/19, played LB & moved back shortly after.

Clubs like players to go out to different clubs. It expands their experience. It was unlikely he would come back here.

They are fast becoming one of my most hated clubs... Epitomise culture of tinpot clubs making it to the Prem and being financially set forever because of it despite their ridiculous debts!

And they had the audacity to sack the man who made it all possible!

Adaramola is on the bench for Palace against Liverpool today. Could get a good look at our potential new LWB against some decent opposition in the 2nd half.

They're not really a tinpot club to be fair to them, they've won more than we have and spent a longer time in the top flight than we have too. They also got to the prem in a relatively debt free position, it's only come about since the new owners came in who used the club's own money to buy the club.

It's a fair point - in most of our lifetimes they have been pretty low key but I suppose they are a decent sized club overall... Its probably the likes of Bournemouth and watford who fall into the tinpot category.

It's been done to death I know but the parachute payment system is just an absolute farce and just one symptom of how bloated the prem is.

The more I think about the parachute payments I am amazed the big clubs who are never going to need them haven’t pushed against them.

He's a decent player but I just don't think there is a role for him in the way they play now, he's got a great left foot but not sure where he'd fit in if we signed him either
