Decent player, but they should be wearing masks at 2.5m seems to be the general consensus on their forum…

I’m not particularly bothered about Burnley, they have kept hold of the bulk of their PL support, which most relegated clubs do initially. Their numbers will revert back to mean when/if they drop back to second division mediocrity. PNE and Bolton are who have shown us up this summer.

Potent stuff that coffee…

‘I will stand by my opinion’… hmm, pretty sure anybody could work that out by looking at the planner. But fair play for sticking your neck out 😀

There will be a decent gate tomorrow, new era, first game etc. But when things settle down, you obviously won’t be seeing crowds much more than 12k for a standard game, the way it is when you’ve only just scraped past 8k ST holders…

Does JRC have a ‘load of talent’, ‘an eye for a goal’ ? When have we ever seen that in the first team?

Free entry this season. Was it last season? Fair enough, you really can’t be charging for what is a much shabbier place than years gone by.

They do all they can though…

I can tell you that nobody from the club has from the half dozen or so I know that haven’t renewed the past couple of years…

Yet plenty on here were happy for Brown to be going into the season as right back… a 25 year old who’s hardly played outside semi-pro football.

Indeed, when you have 20k ST holders you would expect a fairly high figure of non renewals, as a decent number of that 20k won’t be particularly fanatical. However, at the sales we are at now, you’d expect the drop off rate each summer to get lower as a percentage of the total figure as it’s only the hardcore left…

Not saying they have, but it is since 2019 that we are seeing these rapid rises. I.e Riverside up £110 in three years.

STs were still cheap enough for years under these owners, it’s only the past three years that they have increased by eye watering amounts…

But there was an increase for any potential new/returning fan, who obviously are the folk that need signing up if we are to add numbers over the 8k. Odd business plan that charges more to new customers for the same product…

Mowbray was always an odd one with pressing. We’d have an odd game in which we’d press high, and usually get results out of it, especially at Ewood. Yet the very next game it would be back to plodding. Not fit enough, maybe?

We scraped 10k on the first day last season. Looks like c13k tomorrow, so an obvious new era boost even at these ridiculous prices… so just imagine what a bit of imagination could do.

I would wager there will be far fewer than 7,000 empty seats at Deepdale for many a weekend game.

‘Marginal gains’, he reckons. Though our home form fell of a cliff when they started putting them back up there in the run in. Dave Brailsford in reverse is our Swag.

Which makes sense because a comp seat would still be unavailable on the planner.

Could well be, as I’m sure until fairly recently comps were included in the total. Helps Waggott out PR wise for them to once again be bolted on to the total figure…

700 sold in a week? Great Brittain, indeed!

Exactly, we had 10k by kick off of the first game last season. With two days to go and the last minute rush you always see, we will have a fair bit more than 10k by 3pm on Saturday. Who knows we may even have a total attendance that gets in the ball park of what our neighbours have in ST holders…

We just about scraped 10k on the first day last season. It certainly looks like it will be a fair bit more than that going off the planner.

‘I don’t agree with the manager’s tactics’ ’Go and arrange a meeting with him then if you have all the answers’ ’These owners make one bad decision after another’ ’Go and fly to Pune then’ ‘Ayala’s never fit’ ’Go and talk to the physio about his rehab schedule then’

Think he’s moved a decimal point somewhere there…
