Famous last words. Leeds now Friday night on Sky... https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/18279643.rovers-game-leeds-united-moved-sky-sports-coverage/

We will in all likelihood finish top 10/mid-table in the Championship. ‘Incredible’ wouldn’t be how I’d describe it.

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.

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.

Well we know why, the school is a paying sponsor...

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?

Yeah I suppose even defenders got splurged on in the early years. But since relegation?

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?

If only there was another centre half captain hanging around the place...

£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.

They did go to Asian schools as lad behind me works in one and was waving across to the kids in the JW lower.

That’s what I said they should’ve done. Doing a Big 6 starting with a February night match available on the red button was a daft idea... and I imagine they sold a handful. But this won’t sell either, as bundles just don’t, but they carry on regardless.

Could well be in the Championship themselves next season, so a keeper with a few seasons in this league could come in handy...

Bolton have downgraded their academy to Cat 3 and scrapped their U23 side.

We’re 8th in the second division.

I’m sure TM does have plans and players he wants, after all he’s worked in plenty of normal clubs. However, the fact that here nothing ever moves until after that yearly meeting means we will always be playing catch up.

Are we having our best season? We still had a chance of the top 6 going into the last day under Bowyer in 2014. Lets see where this lot are in May.

Looking at the comments below the article... we don’t!

Yes, sang with gusto by many in his early time as manager...

Sky haven’t announced it as a red button game as yet. Derby have possibly refused permission to show it...

Him and Simon Smith (he that couldn’t cope with a bit of criticism over his LT column) have been having a day long set to. I won’t say over what as it’s probably a libel issue, but a couple of bloody oddballs.

So Boro made the right choice?

Look again chadster...

Agree there, you pretty much expect him to come and claim it. Often seemed to be some sort of palava going on in the box from high balls with Raya.
