12,570 last season, 9,332 the season before. Tickets £18-20 last season, £22-27 season before.
Do you think ticket revenues were more last season or the season before?
Do you think you're more of a condescending prick, this season, or last season?

A totally reasonable reply from Dave, and you have to be insulting. If you don't agree with daves post why not state why instead of just calling him a prick.

Out of interest what would you say if you asked Nick a question, like Dave did of you, and he called you a condescending prick? .............You would go mad.

Chap from Supporters Direct talking (missed his name), bit of history to start off with.

Now onto the more important stuff. An average £1.7m a season loss for teams in L1, didn't give a figure for Championship but said it was silly money.

He did point out also that the average in league two was £500k. That's an average that might suit some owners.

Because he doesn't have a point.

does make the world of difference :)

Dare you to put youporn on and see if you can get away with it ;) Twenty to charity if you have the sound on loud!

That's got the ball rolling on The Telegraph's back page for tomorrow!

Actually, that's probably not a realistic prediction...



...A week on Tuesday is probably more likely!

This guy is saying about a bloke moaning about player sales and breaking even was a troll?

Nothing really so far actually related to our situation.

Why were SISU reneging on making £20m available for players to "Take the Football Club forward"?
What good would resigning from Coventry City fc do with regards to the "Loans" to Cardiff City fc"?...It certainly wouldn't get him off any charges should they be proven would it?
Is shitting on the fans of Coventry City fc. by SISU something a business of integrity would do in your opinion?

I will try again. Do you think a chairman of CCFC should be loaning other clubs money at high interest rates? Yes or no?

Pompey guy says at least the ground isnt owned by SISU, but it might be something the council can help us with?

Good to see there is some sort of thinly vieled talk of administration from no tickets. Let's not push this line again, anybody remember late kick off?

You can see where this is going a mile off....

Quite worrying really, making out the idea that if trying to force the club into admin the trust can pick it up. Very dangerous.

Not dangerous as such, just pointless. Another administration that SISU would control as the club's main creditor.

That's what I mean, all the debt is to sisu so they would get Appleton in.

It's dangerous because it's being said in public again as a way to get the club into the fans hands.

You can clearly see they are going to try and push a boycott to damage the club to try and pick it up cheap, that's the way it's being pushed.

See it a mile away.

What I don't get is that the speakers they have on say there needs to be a good relationship with the club and be professional, then people from the trust keep firing our digs at every chance they can!

Pompey guy pretty much rules out the Championship when being fan owned.
But isn't being fan owned a steadying of the ship? Are they planning on being fan owned forever and a day?

If we were to become fan owned I would assume it would be a short term measure until decent owners could be found.
