How Orwellian!

Like he was going to be anything else!

He’ll be ont karaoke in the Bear’s Paw by 2 o’ clock...

Thread on their forum about him. 20% sell on fee, they reckon... https://forums.vitalfootball.co.uk/threads/dacky.85515/

Boro is always fairly low attended anyway, fair distance away, not great for trains etc. So at £30 I imagine it will be one of our lowest (weekend) followings of the season...

Is that show still going?!

Lack of pubs? There’s about 6 just on the lower part of Livesey Branch!

At Preston in Lambert’s first game.

I can imagine that’s the reason, but still surprised by it. Potential repeat customer, future season ticket holder etc etc...

Why can’t someone buying a ticket at 2.30pm be added to the database?

To be fair Paul there were 7,600 Leeds fans in the ground! We are at the bottom end of the table for home fans coming through the gates and the club should be worried about it... though there is only one way to solve it and that’s sell more season tickets.

This place and ‘agendas’!

Mulgrew and Evans are probably the last two players we have that were signed up on contracts in an era of relative largesse when it came to wages. So it’s a good sign that we are still competitive with what we pay established players.

The only thing they could do would be to release some of the seats they have netted off in the corners, but they won’t.

Because he’s a ‘good lad’ is what I’ve gleamed.

Be interesting to know Southgate’s real thoughts (well, we do know them, but to be a fly on the wall with him and his coaching staff)...

2 years? 3 surely? 1st full season - promotion 2nd - League Cup win and top half finish 3rd - top 6 finish

5933 according to wiki.

I think 5500 is as much as you ever get, there’s usually a few seats in the front corners netted off.

But a load of the away end will be Ewood regulars anyway, so that’s a load of the ‘demand’ you have every week.

Comparing the demand for a Lancashire derby away game with a limited 5,500 allocation, where season ticket holders and other Ewood regulars need to buy a ticket, to a standard Championship home match with 20,000 seats to sell will tell you nothing.

Fair point, I would imagine the comps are part of that figure.

Well you do.... ’Todd Kane, 26, will spend the season on loan at Hull City’.

Don’t disagree, I’m in favour of any offer the club decides on, however we haven’t seen one yet this season and I doubt we will for the foreseeable...

2,500/ 3,000 or so people are buying match tickets every week, that’s as many as we’ve ever really sold week by week, even in the PL. So, even though I do think £25-£30 is too expensive, that’s not the reason crowds aren’t what we want and I think we focus on the red herring of match ticket sales a little too much on here. It’s very simple, the vast majority of our support has always come from STs and we just didn’t sell enough of them in the summer , we’ll probably sell a few hundred half STs, but there’s not a lot else we can do about season tickets for the next few months. That’s why it is essential that we sell significantly more next time round. No more price rises, get them on sale earlier etc etc, it is the only way we will raise crowds, if we don’t see a significant increase we will be having the exact same argument this time next year.
