    West Brom attendance

    Will still be loads of empty seats, I know quite a few who can't make the game as they are working. We need a resale option. Might only need it 3 or 4 times a season, but we do it for a section of the ground already so would be easy to roll out. Don't have to allow it every game, but when sold...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    I don't get this 'they have so and so to play' stuff. It doesn't mean anything. Oxford, Luton, Swansea, Derby and Millwall have all recently taken points off three teams that apparently we had no right to expect anything from (and didn't). We give those teams way too much respect.

    Championship thread 24/25!

    3 defeats in 4 games is faltering by definition surely? Of course, plenty to play for and no need to throw the dummy out. Luton, Hull and Plymouth away are very tough games given their positions. Home games are key. We must win Wednesday. Not over if we don't, but it becomes exceptionally...

    Deegan goal? I think we were on itv for last game of season at Southampton the year we were relegated.

    Home games

    Mentioned it in another thread, but easiest route is to sink the pitch. We have loads of room round the pitch, too much. Each row is around 1000 seats, so 4 or 5 additional rows would be a (relatively) easy way to expand without major construction work.

    Lack of goals is going to cost us...

    His mpg ratio is way ahead of everyone else in the league. I guess if we fail to go up he'll likely be off. That's a then issue though, for now, we keep calm and carry on.

    Home games

    There was a period in those wilderness years where I'd have to drag myself up there. I did, but it was a slog. Lived for away days, home games were just a filler, and aside from the odd moment, pretty grim. This has completely flipped. Still go away but now look forward to home games much more...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 15th Mar

    We were totally dominant there. Some outstanding individual performances - Tats, Torp, Allen, Grimes, Da Silva, nobody had an off day TBF, and Wright is so dangerous when he's on it. Off for a lamb vindaloo and a few more ales. It'll all taste like nectar. Go on you sky blue bastards.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 15th Mar

    It's weird. People triggered because a few others don't have a good feeling about today. What difference does it make? The outcome will be decided later and Dave from Holbrooks not feeling it will have no influence whatsoever. Either way, we back them a much as possible during the 90 minutes...

    Hull Moved To Monday Night

    I suppose the point is, this is not the PL. We play 8 games more as it is, and those additional fixtures are mainly midweek. Night games are no fun, you only have to look at some of the awful turnouts across the league for midweek games recently. The QPR game recently, the actual number in the...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 15th Mar

    Some people can't afford it at nearly £40 a pop. I know someone who took his family last week (2 adults and 2 kids), spent £125 in total. To repeat tomorrow would be closer to £150. Last week was always going to be a better turn out, if you're picking your games and can't do them all, makes...

    Nine To Go.

    Somebody literally said we will do it comfortably a few posts up, so I was responding to that. Yes we've been on a great run, but will be hard to sustain from here. It's possible, likely even, that one team will go on a great run from this point. I also don't really pay too much attention to...

    Nine To Go.

    I still think it is a big ask, lots can happen in this final 9 games. Things change quickly and there is always one team that go on a crazy run, Hull last year iirc, although they just missed out. We could be out of the top 6 before we play Sunderland on Saturday, and fail to win that we're then...

    Point countdown

    Not entirely convinced 70 points sees us home. It might, but could well be 72-73, it was last year iirc, although I'm guessing the 6th placed eam was in a slight better position this time last season.You're going to get a couple of teams that go on a run from here. We're likely to have a dip at...

    Best attendances since 1970

    Yesterday there were a few hundred empty in the away end, blocks 4 and 5 closed, seats behind dugouts closed, balcony only 60% full. All those seats filled it is probably 32K without having to adjust the segregation.
