Re: Season ticket renewal 24/25

I will need to check my historical posts but im sure i may have mentioned once or twice the fans would get shafted as a result of the move. I specifically forecast the elimination of concession seats in prime locations. Sunderland pioneered it when they moved from Roker Park. However, just because e...

Re: Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeit

That's interesting. I didn't know that. Ian Dury was spot on about the "clever bastards". Same principle as crumple zones on modern cars. You deliberately sacrifice one structure to defend another. Tanks have similar systems, those funny tiles attached to the side of tanks have charges in...

Re: Larry Lloyd

Oh no, very sad, played in probably the best team ive seen.

I think it might have been him who Clough promised a wahing machine to when persuading him to join Forest.

The machine was taken from the clubs laundry room.

Re: Season ticket renewal 24/25

Can we stop peddling the myth that the increase is necessary.

Its a choice, by ours and other clubs.

Ask how it is German football fans get to watch their teams for much lower prices.

Re: Season ticket renewal 24/25

A ticket in the 1966 stand is roughly the same location as an old band 1 at the Boleyn. 2015/16 i think we paid £895, maybe a little less. Now, for a similar view/ location its £1,445. So roughly 60% increase since the move. Every club is at it to a greater or lesser extent. Correction, every Englis...

As sad as it is for the few families concerned, to have such a low death toll is remarkable. Thousands of tonnes of steel and concrete falling 40 yards in a split second, the workers on the bridge would almost certainly be dead before they hit the water. For the ship not to capsize was incredible, a...

Re: Season ticket renewal 24/25

Ours and other clubs will squeeze and squeeze, mainly because they know supporters have got the money. Everything we enjoy is too expensive in our opinion, football, beer, fags, drugs, holidays, travel etc but they know we can find the money for 7 or 8 European trips a year where the ticket price is...

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

Meanwhile, back in the real world, the Conservative and Unionist party have managed to shuffle through roughly another trillion pounds of taxpayer and borrowed money in the past year.

Can anyone see what on ?

Seriously, where have they spent it ?

Re: England -v- Brazil & then -v- Belgium

Bowen looked like he belonged at international level last night, I thought he was excellent. That Mainoo is going to be some player, fazed by nothing and wants to go forward. The defence though... Stones is decent, but that seems to be it. Centre back is a massive problem, and you can see why South...

Re: The Summer Transfer Thread 2024

I think there are a number of variables that will impact any transfer activity. In Europe, or otherwise? If in, which competition? If out, who will the Manager be ? Tim, in or out ? Composition of the Premier league ? City, in or out, Everton, in or out ? Then we have the Euros, for which the Golden...

Re: England -v- Brazil & then -v- Belgium

Bowen did himself proud tonight.

England though have real problems at CB, and with huge regret, were i Southgate i would be asking Declan to drop into the backline. His one major deficiency for that job probably matters less at international football than it would in club football.

Interesting that Ipswich Town are the first club to publish their accounts showing how much headroom they have under PSR rules. Were all clubs to do the same it may dampen the transfer market somewhat. Villa, Chelsea, Arsenal, Wolves, Everton, Fulham, Palace, Newcastle Forest......maybe one or two o...
