Wouldn’t touch the price structure?! Shows how long you’ve been away, it’s ridiculous pricing for a demographic like ours and the sales are showing just that. So out of touch.

Believe Barnsley already have too, Mellor…

Reading between the lines of the FF minutes, more that Swag reckons lowering ticket prices doesn’t work all round…

Is he though, particularly when it comes to STs? Or is he just set an arbitrary figure from the owners to hit (which would’ve been the same even if Rothwell et al had gone for a fee)?

To choose Reading, a midweek red button game in March as your *one* tenner offer for the season and then when the ground shockingly isn’t packed for it, use that as a rationale as to why cheap tickets don’t work shows he’s a cynical/crafty fecker too.

I think it’s as simple as he knows he probably will hit his targets at these prices, but he isn’t in sure he would if they are lowered - ergo he ain’t taking that risk (especially when you imagine his bonus is tied to it). Why go into bat for lower prices when he knows he’s off in the short to medium term - ‘build and protect the health of the fanbase in the long term? Why bother myself with that? I’ll be long gone’.

I’d say that’s doing a disservice to amateur football clubs, many of whom put on a far superior matchday experience… largely because they are run by people who actually care.

It’s all very opaque, where does that Suhail fit in this decision making structure, for example? But then opaque is probably just how they like it…

Well that’s an interesting one as Swag said in his letter to Glen that that most generous £20 early bird discount had to be signed off by the owners… but of course that could well be just smoke and mirrors by a wily operator.

It all goes in cycles, we’ve been here that long now we’ve seen it all - seasons with the likes of Villa, Leeds and Newcastle down here, next season the likes of Bournemouth and Luton could come back down, with the Barnsley’s and Peterborough’s coming up.

Resources fair enough, but a big fanbase hasn’t done the likes of Sheff Wed much good for the past few decades….

The CEO.

There’s a vacancy at Sky with Souness leaving, can’t his cousin get him that gig?

No he’s wrong 8,700 were full STs, 9,300 were full plus half, well that’s what the FF minutes from last season say…

I don’t fear it, it’s the second division, not the Champions League, but there’s no doubting that to have no parachute clubs at all in the play off places was unusual - ergo it was a big chance that went begging.

Yeah so last season was quite the chance to get out of this league…

You really don’t like the play off system do you, DE? 😁

It’s Gary Weaver, he’s renowned for it. 😁

Corporate seats, they’ll still be finishing off the champers and prawn sandwiches…

Indeed, so it made me laugh when some were saluting the new EFL TV deal as a way of making club’s solvent, improve infrastructure etc… it will all go into the pockets of players and agents.

Read that King Power as a business has seen its sales collapse post Covid.

I think we’ll crawl to c8k but to end up c1k behind the still piss poor figure we ended last season with after the best league position in a decade says the pricing is still miles off.

‘You won 20th place… have £128 million’

I initially said there was no chance we’d beat last season’s *total* figure of 9.3k, I didn’t realise at first that he was talking about last summer only - but yes I still don’t think we’ll get to that 8.6k either (though I’d take it after another shambolic sales window - how sad is being happy enough with 8.6k by the way). Yes, in Glen’s letter he was making downright ridiculous claims of 1.5k/2k on top of that 8.6k - so 10 to 10.5k.

We sold 8.6k last summer, I thought he was predicting in that letter to Glen that we were on for 1.5k/2k on top of that? Though I’d be delighted to hit said 8.6k at this stage…
