Decent enough friendly that, will likely make the trip 👍

He'll be hoping we get Sheff Weds and Leeds at home in August, both will bring big old followings and he will report an increase in average attendance at the end of the month 🤣

Completely unrelated to us but I was reading something odd earlier about Bournemouth fans having to paying extra 14 quid on top of renewal prices to get 2 tickets to watch their women's team? As for as I could tell it was compulsory unless I've misunderstood, their own fans seemed a bit unsure too.

Presuming wrong then I would have thought, Preston wouldn't be crowing about them figures on the club website.

Where are you getting these figures from?

I believe that to be honest. Morton will have been a nice boy in training, work hard and help put the cones away after. Maybe Wharton was a bit lazy? Not saying I agree with Morton playing over Adam by the way, JDT clearly monitors players in training closely though and it influences team selection.

Dutch media reporting Slot is STAYING put

Preston fan at work reckons they'll be nowhere near last seasons sales despite the price, ungrateful swines.

No you're right on both parts though 👍

Remember it well the Leeds scum with the Revie chants. I was a young boy then and even then I was like wtf are they doing. My other memory of Leeds is how fucking huge Tony Yeboahs legs were, he pinged some absolute thunderbolts in with them too.

Just to put an alternate slant on this story from Nixon.... Led to believe JDT and family have bought a house over here and his missus is opening a shop.....

Slot would 100% take a prem job and JDT 100% the Feyenoord job. No exclusive from Nixon regardless, its already been said on here....

They are showing interest, they had all the family round watching the Millwall game on TV according to Greg 🤣 Swag loves a good opportunity to make some extra cash, how about a Q&A with none other than our owners? Tickets would fly off the shelves I assume. Put on some overpriced spud pie and peas and you're onto a winner. Just do it when it's not snowing.

What is your job?

What a game that was. Just me or was the Posh keeper absolutely garbage too? A few of those goals I was just like wtf is he doing.

Just have to hope Spurs look elsewhere than Arne Slot... Feyenoord would be the ideal job for JDT I'm afraid for personal and career reasons, that's if they feel his CV is worthy at this present time, I imagine they would do.

Didn't he recently buy a house up north though? He should definitely get championship offers, and if he does I'm putting my house on him scoring when we play said team! Providing he stays fit you just know he's gonna score goals for a team who's playing style suits him....

Very sad news, no room for sentiment though in sport 😢 Ultimately it COULD be the right decision if the wages are spent wisely and goal scorers are incoming. Likewise it could be a disaster, as of yesterday Dack was probably our best goal scorer 🤯 Suppose I'll reserve judgement, for now

I'll be following with interest to be honest how he gets on at his new club, not sure why there'd be a need to close it.

Its just an idea, I know it'll never happen. But I'm interested to know why Chaddy thinks it's so ludicrous given that the actual benefits from being a season ticket holder diminish every season. Christ you even needed 1875 club on top to easily secure a Burnley away ticket last season, or face a mad scramble in the next phase.

Why? As things stand, the only real benefit from having one is you sit in the same seat every game really, given that kick off changes mean many can't make every single game. Next season you won't even need one to secure high demand away tickets with Burnley out of the equation, unless we get a particularly good cup draw ay some point.

Southampton, Plymouth and Ipswich will probably all bring decent followings to be fair. New ground/one they've not been to for ages factor coupled with Southampton presumably being up there doing well. Leicester, Leeds, Everton or Forest would too.

If they scrapped the traditional season ticket as I suggested, the prices could become dynamic on a match by match basis, if a game is moved for sky the entrance fee becomes 15 quid, or even a tenner if we're feeling generous. It's without a doubt a big factor in many peoples decision making process when parting with cash for a season ticket. The best thing about Leeds coming down would be they'll be on every week instead of us mind....

Waggott however has been marching round in his Leeds underpants for weeks singing marching on together rubbing his hands together at the thought of charging 8k of them 30 odd quid a pop

No its not, there is far, far more to it. Its a lazy response to just shrug our shoulders and say damn it, too expensive, that's it. I'm a prime example, the price is NOT the reason I'm not getting a season ticket and I know many others who are the same. I'm not a marketing expert, nor am I a financial services expert. But I know there's more the club could be doing in both areas. Klarna, clear pay, BNPL, do they even know what these things are? Do they know what a dormant customer is or how to engage with these people? It costs peanuts to do so if you have an ounce of business acumen. We have a wet behind the ears kid heading up our marketing department. You can read all the textbooks there is and get all the qualifications under the sun, but if you're not adapting to your target customers it's useless and I find it utterly bonkers there's not a senior, experienced person in that role. What's he done? A few bits at Bournemouth who have a garden shed of a ground to fill in a completely different area, predominantly in the premier league. Completely different ball game to us. It angers me that behind the scenes the club lacks passion or ideas, the only person who seems to have anything resembling that is commercial and partnerships manager Yasir Sufi. His focus seems more on diversity though and he can't do everything. Get a few more driven people like him in and we might actually get somewhere.
