Still nothing on the Austria trip. Weren't we meant to be having a home pre season game on 3rd August too?

Yep he is, an absolute whopper of a bloke.

I don't think they can. The allocation has to be 2000, or 10% of the total capacity if the stadium is below 20k.

The comment from Gestede about recruitment and budgets said everything to me. Acting like we're sat in the March international break.

There is no way this lot will get in 4 or 5 of the required quality to move us up the table while keeping everyone we already have, as others have said 4 or 5 isn't really enough anyway. I don't know whether to shake my head at or admire anyone who after the last 14 years still thinks that something like that is possible. Unbelievable.

Unless they mention Suhail, then they will be gone within a week.

Not quite, there was 39 people viewing when I logged on for a bit. The whole Eustace/Gestede bit irritated me though so I turned it off and put the footy on.

Just need to flip the ticket map around with the icon in the top left corner.

Well a quick tally up can tell you what is available to buy... Blackburn End - 1488 Riverside - 3722 Jack Walker Upper - 2648 Jack Walker Lower - 1152 I just don't believe we have "smashed" any sales looking at the ticket map, it looks emptier than ever.

No Championship games at 3pm on the opening Saturday.

Within 7 days according the a post a few up from yours.

Remember Eustace also said the squad doesn't need much adding. If we have more than one player in before the season starts I will be amazed.

To be fair, at not far off being 25 years old playing in that league, he probably should at least have those stats if he wants to have any hope of playing in the second tier of English football!

This is exactly what I would do. But I imagine we will flit between 523 and 4231. I just think if we could sort some pace and directness out wide then a 433 would be the way to go with that midfield when Szmodics goes.

Conflicting messages from the club, who would have thought.

Siggy and Szmodics were away for 11 days each on international duty, so I imagine they will come back 11 days later than everyone else so everyone has had the same "leave"?

Lots of draws, some defeats with the odd win scattered about.

Another way you could look at is in JDT's first summer we had only signed Callum Brittain by the time the first game come around. We also had Nyambe, Lenihan, Rothwell, Van Hecke, Khadra who all played significant parts the season before leave in the summer, along with other squad men like Johnson, Poveda, Davenport, Chapman and Butterworth. We went on to win our first 3 and 4 out of 7 before the window closed. Maybe our core squad was stronger in that summer than it is now, I don't know. For me we can put out a competent 11 that will be fairly competitive at the minute (that's with Szmod granted) but we absolutely need 6 or 7 good players through the door before the window closes with nobody leaving just to be somewhere between 12th/20th next season.

No, the process is to just buy one and then ring the club and fill in a seat transfer form to try and get a better seat, you just need to tell them roughly where you want to be. I do agree though that a few days window where folk could log onto the site and have there pick of them at the cheaper price would be much better.

Wait until we don't spend £7m!

Probably started work at 9 and closed it off. Season tickets back on sale on Thursday, they are sorting out any moves etc in the next few days.

All the excuses like "change of recruitment team, euros, other clubs havent signed anyone etc etc" are in use. Chaddy thought we would have 3 in by today, it was never going to happen.

I mean if folk are believing that facebook post they will literally believe anything.

For what it's worth, you can still log on to the site now and get the early bird price.

The ticket map will show the true number of tickets sold on Thursday.
