    Interesting take on the reality of the promised land

    You are describing me to a tee here. At Stockport County, our first league game after relegation I remember thinking this would be a fun season. A chance to clear out and rebuild. It's been almost a quarter of a century since that day 🤣 .

    Interesting take on the reality of the promised land

    💯 the money gained for promotion would be transformational and secure our future. That's pretty much the only reason I care about it. I am not at all excited by the prospect of joining the elite and all that comes with it. I'd imagine this skews heavily by age/generation of fan though. Those of...

    I know - but my point is that state of being wasted can easily move from "enjoying the day out" to "WOT U LOOKIN AT M8" and intimidation and violence. I don't have a good answer but I think we should expect people to be in control of themselves and their bodies or be denied entry/be ejected...

    Callum O'Hare

    Agree. He causes chaos. He also wins the ball by picking pockets very high up the pitch - which I don't think he gets enough credit for. I think that particular skill is useful in the games where we dominate possession less, so perhaps the value isn't seen as often in a season where we're...

    I'm not sure how your question relates to anything I said.

    Callum O'Hare

    I've popped into this thread multiple times to defend Callum and I've never met the guy! Through watching him over the years, I think we all know him well enough that he just loves life. He loves football. The idea that he isn't motivated or doesn't care is absolute bollocks and I guess you're...

    I get this viewpoint if we're just talking about happy drunks, but the guy who headbutted someone in our block was absolutely wasted. He'd apparently not eaten and drank all day in the lead up and at Wembley. So being completely out of control can lead to this sort of behaviour. There's a line...

    24/25 changes?

    Let's say £8m total for Simms, £9m for Wright, £4m for Kitching - that's Gyok's total transfer fee inc. bonuses (24M EUR) swallowed. This doesn't include the fees for Thomas, Sakamoto, MVE, Torp all of which were permanent signings with decent fees. So I don't think we're far off spending most...

    24/25 changes?

    Totally agree - no clue about valuation but I'd hope for a bit more even, this summer. Selling with 1 year left on the deal rarely gets you the best offer. Sheaf is also 26, so I think this summer is the most we will ever get for him, when you consider age, contract length, performance &...

    24/25 changes?

    I think Sheaf is at the peak of his valuation under us, considering his contract situation. Depending on the model Doug is aiming for, that might mean we will opt to sell him and strengthen the squad with the proceeds. Can make arguments both ways - but I feel like this is quite likely to...

    I can also say because I was right in next to it, that a guy in block 537 head butted one of our neighbours after a pensioner had asked people to sit down so he could sit and watch the game. I understand the debate about sitting and standing but this guy abused the older guy, then got...

    Fa cup tickets

    I'm currently developing a game called "Football (Ticket Office) Manager" - could everyone shut the fuck up about it until it's released and then you can all WIN and brag about how much of an operational genius you are. Cheers.

    Fa cup tickets

    Honestly whatever the club does, the backseat CEOs will complain. It's a tricky balancing act - you want as many genuine supporters as possible to have a chance to buy a seat, in priority order. They've done that and they will learn from it. Demand for tickets this season is higher than last and...

    Fa cup tickets

    My assumption is that the 2K were released for sale as soon as they got them (~weeks ago) and hence what is left on the map is it. When I checked this morning it was around 250 left... it's now literally 10 seats left. So perhaps that press release has helped, or a bunch have been taken off sale.

    No, it shows all seats in the ground but tickets not on sale because they're not allocated to our team (or either team!) will still appear as “unavailable”. As such you can only see how many unsold Coventry seats there are.

    Ha yes - you can try running this in the console: $("div#map-container svg g .available").length Or add a little bookmarklet: javascript:alert($("div#map-container svg g.available").length + ' of ' + $("div#map-container svg g").length + ' available') 🤓 EDIT: It's complicated though because...

    It's not that exciting - it's a bash command to cURL to the AreaAvailability API that the website uses with some JQ magic to parse the JSON and sum up the AvailableSeats values. Currently 1296 available.
