don't agree at all. I reckon apart from the big games, it would be a modest crowd

Really cant see over 20k turning up to watch Burnley, stoke (14k in fa cup game this year), Swansea etc.

Season ticket sales alone would be high to get to see games against the 6 biggest clubs and the crowds going into promotion would be high too. Our crowds are low now because of decades of bottom half finishes and our worst league position since any living fan was born. Struggling against garbage teams with 4th division players of our own.

The opening question is SISU an improvement. It has surely to be a resounding no. We will finish this season the lowest place in our history, we might compound that by missing out on the play offs all together despite being top of the league at one time and despite having extra revenue into the club from a little but unexpected cup run and a decent transfer fee in for Stevenson nothing was handed to Mark Robins to allow him to bring in a couple of the type of experienced player to give our squad the significant boost to enhance our promotion push instead he had to gamble with loans one, JCH, has been okay the other 2 a waste of space. To be honest it’s what I expected. It’s my belief our owner is very content in this division and her minimum input while cashing in annually on Acadamy starlets. She will already have her eyes on the future income she can get from Bayliss, Shipley and Ponticelli, there will be others too. So SISU an improvement ? Those who think so, please explain where ?

Isn't JCH a loan with a view to permanent with a decent fee?

I believe so, seeing is believing isn’t it. But does that mean SISU an improvement ? I estimate just a January injection of about £20k for extra wages could have improved our promotion push immensely.

Who said it did mean that? It is just stating facts.

The reported fee for JCH alone to cover his wages was more than £20k.

Think I'd believe most people over the stuff Rupert puts out after Richard Stevens came on and pulled his pants down. ;)

Apparently we paid a loan fee of £125,000 for Clarke Harris.

How do you know?
Chesterfield were trying to buy him weren't they?
We haven’t paid anything like that fee for anybody in last few years. Never mind for for a player on loan for few months. Who has hardly played in the previous few months.

That fee alone is two top league two players annual wage!

No chance.

He's on loan to sign at the end of it like Jones was isn't he? Seems like it was structured like that for ffp.

That’s possible a fee is payable if he actually signs. But not so sure where this 6 ffigure plus figure is plucked out of thin air.
