Preparations are going to be so so important given the huge step up. We've obviously spent many in Spain / Portugal recently and quite a few Premiership teams still do that. For the squad, a change of environment preseason is probably a good way to signal a whole new start and new level we need...

Every time we have one of these moments where the club is getting a lot of attention, parts of the fanbase mobilise into policing who is and who isn't part of the fanbase. It's a pretty miserable trait and I think like so many of these nasty behaviours says more about their own feelings of...

The whole coaching thing if you believe Doug (not sure anyone else involved has really put their side over?) is truly odd. You hoped there was a pivot from Adi to a more modern approach (iPads! 🤣 ) but the way the season started and the selections made really put us in danger. We've all...

In the game, I think Oggy pointed it out in comms - the quality of the delivery all game was pretty poor. I recall 2 really good balls into the box - one from Torp and one from JDS - later on in the game. Neither of these happened while Wright was on the pitch if I remember correctly. So there's...

The ticketing system has your season ticket purchase on the history iirc. I bought a season ticket to donate (I live abroad) a couple of times in the last few years and it's on my history... they did remove the points though 🤣 . You're right though, any time a points threshold is introduced...

I think depends on how many tickets we have to sell and once you exclude season ticket holders, what the spread of points is like among the user base. We've done this a few times now for games where we have huge allocations to sell, so we have good data and some idea of conversion rate etc...

Indeed a fair approach would have been (due to there only being ~5k tickets for general sale) to introduce a points threshold and not allow season ticket holders to purchase more. And publicise the sale details well in advance so everyone had time to get their support number & network(s) etc in...

Managed to get tickets thanks mainly to @Tuma's heads up here, I was watching the thread and ticketing site just before but their message made sure I paid attention at ~11:00 and was in right away. Club could certainly have given everyone more notice / clarity and it would have been fairer to...

For sure, then we would make a nice tidy profit which we can reinvest. I think we could still sell him in the summer to a champ team or a top league in another country potentially, but feels to me like an opportunity missed for him to take a serious step up. That he's scored so many this year...

Definitely not a good game for Wright last night - it was a game of almost no clear cut chances at either end so a tough ask for any striker but those two crosses from JDS it felt like his movement and anticipation was way off. He also failed to control / trap the ball multiple times and looked...

I will miss us mainly being anonymous, bar 1-2 moments in a year where mainstream sports media decides to talk about us, we get the usual bollocks and patronising takes. I do not want to hear what fucking Jamie Carrager or Gary Neville thinks about us. At all. Ever. That will be amplified 100x...

Bit of a weird way to end the series - have enjoyed watching the players compete at different sports - but watching someone guess higher or lower... a bit less interesting.

Did this actually happen? Are those photos AI? I can imagine some clever little (r|f)acist in the party's team booking a ticket on the tour without telling the club who was coming, but surely you just refuse entry. Massive own goal for Ipswich, but yet more yapping online about that party and...

I have no source on this, but I suspect Clive felt cornered into accepting worse terms than before with Rob now in the mix. I'm sure budgets are tight and given the choice, Clive chose to go freelance instead and step away from the coverage. It's a real shame because I do think it's a big downgrade.

This is a storm in a teacup for sure. If we're talking CWR and what they could improve - it's a positive Lorna moving off of matchday coverage. Rob to me is a tough listen, particularly when we're not doing well - his own negativity is not enjoyable to listen to. I think Oggy is a pretty...

I wouldn't say I'm a proponent of it but if you like scoring Internet points please take one. I am explaining what I think Doug's approach will be. Ideal state you stay up without endangering the long term stability of the club if it fails - I don't think Doug is going to bet the farm on...

I can see him continuing to look at players as assets whose values should be going up, so he'll be pressuring recruiting along those lines. I think he'll balance the likelihood of survival Vs relegation and will want to primarily make sure if we come straight back down we're in a position that...

If we are recruiting for the Premiership, assuming no ownership change or significant investment - Doug will be smart enough I think to plan for the season after in the Champ. I think that puts a lot of pressure on scouting - we'll be using the same approaches and network we have, but a level...

It's no coincidence that this run coincides with us playing a bit more on the counter, soaking up more pressure and Rudoni coming into form in a more central & advanced role. I think confidence and application plays a part too - it's been great to see him the last few games really scrapping...

HE. HAS. TOUCHED. THE. STARS. Wasn't that Weaver on Grimmer Vs Exeter at Wembley?
