  1. Don’t worry about it Dreams. I was replying to BDS, my fault as I l’m very tardy with the quote button.
  2. ‘Doesn’t play the right way’. I’m sure getting beat at home by Fleetwood in the third division is a brave new dawn.
  3. Always makes me laugh when folk call TM “dour”, ‘kin ell, try listening to that fella!
  4. On what planet is BB a ‘natural successor’ to Bradley Dack?
  5. Bit like when we were expecting a bumper Good Friday gate against Peterborough in promotion season... so Sky moved it to a Thursday night
  6. I’ll let you know in May after a really great day at Wembley.
  7. If you think 8th is ‘really great’, then go for it...
  8. I didn’t say we weren’t doing well. I said 8th in the table isn’t incredible, which it isn’t.
  9. Forget about semantics, I had enough of that with Mix-gate. Finishing top 6 in itself is not an achievement, it’s an arbitrary position in the table that opens the door to what we all actually want. Of course there are positives to be had, promotion, obviously, or even in defeat if we build on a top 6 finish through increased crowds, better players and so on, become a real force next season then great. However, many a club doesn’t, loses players and momentum and falls away, ‘Remember that time we finished 6th in 2020?’won’t mean much if it isn’t a springboard.
  10. You must have lower standards than me BDS. Getting in the top 6 would show us as an upwardly mobile club and that’s not to be sniffed at going forward - would help ST sales, sponsors, player incomings and outgoings and so on. But it’s a 1 in 4 shot, you lose and it’s an ‘incredible’ achievement? We go up and it would be incredible, akin to winning the lottery and something I thought I may never see again.
  11. Going up would be incredible.
  12. Thanks Father Chadwick.
  13. Darrenrover, it’s the same offer we’ve had 4 times this season with diminishing returns each time. And now with half of them likely to be on TV, it will flop... again. Reduced prices for a couple of games in the run in is all we needed to do.
  14. Every chance West Brom goes to a Monday night too...
  15. Famous last words. Leeds now Friday night on Sky... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18279643.rovers-game-leeds-united-moved-sky-sports-coverage/
  16. We will in all likelihood finish top 10/mid-table in the Championship. ‘Incredible’ wouldn’t be how I’d describe it.
  17. Toisin will be 23 early next season. In the old days he’d be either looking to make a breakthrough in City’s team or moving on. But in this age of loan fees and loan managers, you can see him having another season (and another and another) somewhere... though possibly a PL loan next time.
  18. People need to stop saying ‘well it’s a good deal and the part timers should just get behind the lads’. Value is in the eye of the beholder, and if no bugger buys these bundles, it obviously ain’t good value for our customer base.
  19. Well we know why, the school is a paying sponsor...
  20. Yeah I suppose it gets them on the database as multi ticket buyers, so presumably easier to up sell to a ST in the summer?
  21. Yeah I suppose even defenders got splurged on in the early years. But since relegation?
  22. Thinking off the top of my head here. But a couple of hundred grand for Bell aside, have we bought a keeper or defender for decent money in Venky’s time?
  23. If only there was another centre half captain hanging around the place...
  24. £10 tickets do sell well. Put Oxford to one side, Wigan was our biggest ever home turn out in the Championship since 2012. And that was a night match on Sky. Bundles don’t work because the kind of fans that want to sign up to multi games tickets (I.e ST/half ST) already have. Yes the floating fan would be making savings as it’s a good deal aping ST prices, but they aren’t in the habit of buying multi match bundles, just a game when they fancy. Though this may sell better as the prices are psychologically more palatable at £69 then £100+ and (currently) no night matches. But it’s still £100 in the JW Upper. Let’s hope for a win on Sunday if there’s any hope for flogging a few! Should have just made it £15-£20 anywhere for West Brom on Easter Monday and a tenner for Reading and left it as that.
