And you're just trying to bait again with your usual condescension and arrogance. How pathetic.

I'm just a season ticket holder who wants the club to do much better in terms of attracting more support. There's no need to be so defensive. Come on Gav, you're better than this.

How wonderful it must be to have such a care free attitude towards pricing. Good for you. I suspect, though, that for the majority of our potential fan base in the local area - an area which is financially deprived if we need reminding - the cost of tickets is the primary factor when deciding to attend.

Whether Mowbray has suddenly become a tactical genius or he's stumbled into some luck - at this moment I really don't care and long may it continue. Credit where credit is due. This run is amazing!

Spot on. I have a ST and at some games there's been literally 4 of us on our row. The experience - a la Preston & SheffUtd - was like chalk and cheese in comparison to those earlier games. I've paid my money, but I'm not overly bothered how many cut price games they offer if it gets more bums on seats.

I fear that this is the game we'll come a cropper. Bournemonth are due a win, we're due to get beat. 3-1 Bournemouth.

Where I sit in the JWU, it's £22 adult price for Barnsley, versus £32 for Huddersfield. No sense whatsoever.

Huddersfield is a Categpry A game I see. Waggott has no commercial sense whatsoever. 15k tops.

It's not just Mogga who survives home embarassments then. 0-6 at home to Charlton.

Or if he finally decides he's done all he can.

Jack would have gone ballistic at the 7-0 result, that's for sure.

Personally, I think Waggott's explanation of the ticket revenue is a cop out. All he's done is take the basic revenue numbers (average yield/ticket) from three scenarios/games and is using that as justification for not bothering to put any more effort in. He makes no mention of any additional revenue received on the back of the increased gates (refreshments, subsequent ticket sales etc); nor does he make reference to the possibility that the people who took up the offers may well have gone on to then buy season tickets. It's quite likely that the Preston gate was supplemented by fans who took up the Sheff Utd offer, had a good time, and decided to come again. The phrases 'loss leader' and 'speculate to accumulate' don't appear to be in his vocabulary. Very poor IMO and symptomatic of the general malaise.

@tonyoz Fantastic job yet again. Really interesting!!!!! Do you have a league table for the season thus far?

A Wolves supporting mate of mine told me that it was £42 for Wolves fans to sit in those seats 'vacated' by Burnley. At those rates, if we do ever get back to the PL, Waggot will be in nirvana.

My daughter goes to college in Preston. Her dilema of the day was what shirt she should wear, the home shirt or the yellow one. 'I need to maximise bragging rights' is what she said 🙂

I'm noticing that also. We seemed fairly comfortable closing out the PNE game.....in comparison to other games at least 🙂

U23s missed some decent chances, but Utd were the stronger side. Eastham let in a howler for the first. Goals 3 and 4 we let them walz through midfield. Barnes was back in the side and played the first half. Need to start winning though, and quickly.

I'm one of Mowbray's harshest critics, but he can not be faulted at the moment. That was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon, Ewood was buzzing. Guts, determination and a dose of quality to win the game. Please Tony, don't start tinkering now. This is the best shot we've had in years.

Rovers, Burnley, Preston, Bolton are all generally much of a muchness attendance wise. Blackpool perhaps not so much.

If they get to 4.5k say, that's a decent effort IMO considering the extortionate price, lead up to xmas etc.

If Ayala is fit, he has to play. He's our best defender by a country mile. Worry about him being injured when he actually is, not when he might be.

Collins and Taylor played well as part of the defensive unit. My comment was more one of doubt that another PL team would come in for them should Burnley get relegated, at least one who's better than you.

Condescension is quite easy to spot, however.

That's a big IF

Based on last night, I couldn't see any Burnley players being attractive to other PL teams. That Cornet fella is supposed to be something, but he was anonymous last night. Tarkowski would probably be appealing I guess. Burnley's strength is physicality, discipline and organisation, rather than individual flair or brilliance.
