Yep, a top band that sells out a gig or a restaurant that fills all their covers have failed on pricing apparently. Not to mention a football club is a community asset as well as a business. The more people you get through the gates and in the habit of going, the better protected you are when...

You can point it out all you like, it's still wrong. It's short termism. There is value in getting more people through the gates that goes beyond the bottom line. If there was any sense to that logic, teams that sell out every week would keep ramping prices to stupid levels, but they generally...

We sell out the cheaper cat b games (4 in a row now), but not the expensive ones, although boxing day will be the exception. Not sure what that proves other than we could sell out every week if we wanted to. Bristol City could be our lowest turn out of the season, lower that Albion even. Cat A...

Could be going to Ipswich with no BTA, Sakamoto, Wright and now maybe Rudoni. Will get called names saying I'd settle for a draw, but 100% would. Could be a tough month, but this team keeps surprising us so who knows.

Both Thomas and Kitching have been outstanding this season. We play a ridiculously high line and given the ground they cover they're going to get caught out from time to time. Even at Boro at 2-2, late in the game, they are throwing themselves forward and are involved in both late goals. On...

I note they have opened those block 9 seats for Saturday but not for subsequent games so I guess it was deliberate, so will probably open up those additional seats based on demand.

They're a decent bunch in the main. Pretty humble and don't have a chip on their shoulder like some other clubs in the north east. Stuff in the ground was kids playing up, but I've heard a few stories from recent visits of fans being picked off and bullied on the way back into town. Not on that.

They have opened them back up now, must have been a glitch

Yeah. I've stopped the habit of going into every game fearing this is the one where we come unstuck, we're clearly not that team. But, this one worries me, expect a reaction from them and they'll sit and make it hard for us. Any team that can rock up to Ipswich and win 3-0 has a big performance...

Think Rudoni might start. I sense Lampard keen to get him back in. Only concern is Simms and lack of cover, he gets a knock early in the game and what options do we have, play a false 9? That would have to be Rudoni I guess, but if he's cooked after 70 minutes, it leaves us with very few options.

The main trigger seemed to be 5 or 6 of our fans crossing the netting to goad them. That may have been after the 1st missiles were thrown but it didn't help.

Looks like they have reduced the amount of seats available in block 9. Segregation seems to have been made slightly bigger again. Happened tonight, so not sure if in response to issues at Boro.

Your basing this on individual games. Wrexham fan I know says it was by far their best home atmosphere all season, said it's been really flat for some games. That's football. Boro on Tuesday will probably be up for it because of the occasion, but run of the mill games? Last two visits there...

I thought today was very good overall, but I get annoyed (more than I should) by how early people leave for half time and how long it takes them to come back. Does something happen in the concourse I don't know about? The amount of goals scored just before or after half time this season when...

I'd orgotten about that, I was referring to the opposite corner when EMC (I think) was hacked down. But yeah, that also was a bit of a spark. Missed the missile being thrown but saw there player move it off the pitch. No need.

Some great away days in that spell I agree, but I'd also say two of the best away atmospheres of recent years have been this season (Derby and Stoke).

We'll just disagree on that. I don't think we're anywhere near average. The current situation breeds expectations, it plays a part. At 2-1 down the backing was excellent.

Don't know, could have been a bit longer. A bit of shell shock that wore off once there was a spark, a couple of chances and that incident in the far corner got people back up again, it's just the ebb and flow.

There were plans a year or two ago to smarten it up, a bit of landscaping and some advertising screens but maybe shelved. Agree, a large sculpture would be great. Gateway to the city, the whole area needs a facelift, it's pretty grim, although I did hear there are plans for landscaping and...

Oh behave, there was a 10 minute lull. What do you want, a endless array of adapted pop songs without a pause? The lull didn't last long. Plenty of noise at 2-1. I don't know if you recall, but we've had plenty of times when the chips have been down over past couple of seasons. Last season...
