Early bird no. If you decide to buy a ticket before the season starts then yes.

Comparing Cheapest area (BBE, Riverside) Mid-Priced areas (JW wings), Expensive areas (JW Central) again other local clubs with 2 or 3 differently-priced areas.

 

EARLY BIRD

 

END OF JULY

 

Bolton EB finished 22nd April and North End is 5th June, both well before fixtures announced and tv dates released. Blackpool is 30th June and Wigan 28th June, after fixtures but probably before Sky dates.

Burnley's cheapest was in an 'Accessible Corner L0 L1' so not sure how many available there, more generally £387 was the cheapest. They would appear to have sold out.

All clubs unlikely to have early birds before Sky dates so that is not an argument for people to complain, although when Sky release date is known, that might inform clubs on choosing dates for next year.

Our prices are reasonably competitive considering the level of football (as opposed to perceived possible standard of football). The EB is cheaper than last year.

Ultimately the fans are shafted by SKY.

Just worked out I get one payday to consider it. So my choice to not get a ST has become ‘cannot if I wanted to’.

Cheers Swagg.

You knew this was coming soon. Stop whinging. You should have planned for it. Cheaper than last year so you can have no argument.

This has to be a fair deal for families and young adults who can renew before end of first phase. You get an adult and 2 kids for £400-500 up to end of phase 2. This is affordable for many working people (they can spread the cost for a slight premium). If they can't afford this then they probably wouldn't buy in at any price. It should increase ST numbers and promote long term support if the idea continues. I think that you should get a discount for buying early and May/June are lighter times cost wise for people.

I can't access my loyalty points as yet (has anyone managed this?) but I reckon I have 183 from last season. I think it is a good idea to promote the Women's team though I have never been to a match (live in Hull and one travel a week is enough) but think that it is too highly weighted when you look at pro-rata cost (£65 adult, 45 OAP, 25/15 kids). Some will buy a Women's ST instead of 1875 as the point value is better than a pair of socks and a wash bag. This will create a negative aspect for the Women (i.e say 300 STs but only 100 turning up).

Pretty obvious to me. Pushing for play offs and bonus of same cost if promoted vs possible relegation and same cost for inferior product. Never understood why you would sell season tickets before end of season as bulk of fans still paying for matches in current season, either by direct debit or funding away trips at expensive places like Leeds/Leicester.

Shrewsbury v Wrexham was 2pm Sunday on S4C.

Michael Caine would be to old to play center-back.

Michael Caine has recently announced his retirement.

And also have Plymouth ticket bought the moment they went on sale.

Think it penalises any away regulars who were on holiday for Rotherham game. I suppose you can’t please everyone but those who went to lots of A games last year could miss out.

Drummer's arms and Rock Box next door.

I can vouch for this place.

Would be mightily surprised if he changes any of the defenders after 2 clean sheets.

Anyone know how many we took last season. 5:30 KO. February 5th. 

Can't see Gallagher not starting with Brittain playing. Hedges played lots in friendlies so think he will start. Like the fact that he is prepared to have a shot, and can get it reasonably on target. Dolan looked fit as a fiddle on Saturday and should play for 45-60 mins chasing down I would think. Would think Dack & Vale will come on if necessary.

I would think that his last payday will have been 30th June, or whatever day Rovers pay wages on in June. Can't see the PFA paying any wages as would be too expensive (imagine Ronaldo having no job at the end of his contract).

Why does it have to be glossy? An old fashioned paper version would be far cheaper to produce and could sell for £1-£2  (as with 4000 holes). Would probably shift more too. Most of what is in the expensive booklets can be found online and is trivial. Easier to stuff in a pocket and won't take up as much room if collecting.

Rovers asked him, but he wouldn't come.

Likely to go missing for 6 weeks around Feb/Mar so would fit the bill.

Bet the prawn sandwich brigade aren't happy

No prawn sandwiches for sale in W12 that day. Just loads of polite, happy kids + one or two other cheap ticket buyers who were a bit verbally aggressive towards them.

 Missing the point, which is that Watford have acted swiftly

To be fair, they have acted swiftly 11 times since Mowbray was appointed.

If we get the same results in the remaining games as we did earlier in the season, many of which were in our great unbeaten run after Fulham, then we will get 23 more points. Obviously relies on someone finding the net but hopefully Diaz will be back soon.

Has anyone got an update on when the yellow card reset kicks-in?

I think Trav n Darra currently on 9. This for me is as important as getting BBD back. 

10 cards by end of game 37 gets 2 game ban.

Does anybody know if this game is on the Sky red button?

Grammer is important, EG. I helped my Uncle Jack, off a horse.

Or                                       I helped my Uncle, jack off a horse.  

No comma needed in either of these statements, although the capitalisation or not of the word 'jack' is important. 

The first implies that you are helping your Uncle Jack dismount from a horse, whilst the second implies that you have a dodgy uncle. Note that uncle would not be capitalised either in the second case. You would also be complicit in committing an offence. Is this your Uncle Jack? https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/west-yorkshire-news/man-deviant-sexual-history-locked-12554539
