    Rocking all over the world

    Might apply to some, but I've spoken to some who hate it. What's to like? A six mile taxi ride to and from the city centre before and after the game? Worst away days I can think of are Reading and Colchester, middle of nowhere, no pubs, utterly devoid of soul. Those places could be absolutely...

    Rocking all over the world

    But you can say that about any ground. Lost count of the grounds I have been to that have been completely dead on that particular visit. Highfield Road could be shit, bit it was also great on occasions too. Atmosphere is just one part of what makes a stadium great. Take SJP, Bramall Lane...

    Rocking all over the world

    Location is terrible. On a list of priorities for a football ground 'easy access to the motorway' would be bottom. The matchday experience has massively improved for sure, but it's a shit location and no surprise it's often ranked as one of the country's worst away days.

    2023-24 New Kit Thread

    At least the 3rd kit looks decent. Agree with the comments above about delays revealing the designs. What's the point of a big social medai reveal next week when everyone knows what they look like already? Not a big issue of course, just one of those minor things they can sharpen up on.

    How Easy is it to Share Season Ticket

    I know a couple of people who have bought season tickets for the points mainly, but can only do 5 or 6 games, so they will sell it at pro-rata face value for the other games amongst friends and family. Club should be mindful of this when setting matchday prices, set them too high and it will...

    Wimbledon sold out on day 1

    Reading and QPR didn't make ST only window. Swansea did, so was mistaken on that one. Hear what you're saying though. There won't be a massive scrum for Swansea and Hull tickets, so will be opportunities.

    Wimbledon sold out on day 1

    What you basing that on? Last season, after the world cup break, we sold out every single weekend away game and many of those within top priority windows. Using your 2 season ticket example last season, you'd have missed out on Blues, Albion, QPR, Boro x 2, Reading and Swansea. Also...

    New club superstore

    The render shows glazing above the new frontage so can't be same location. Looks like it is being moved to where the wasps shop was?

    Season tickets

    That you threw Norwich and Millwall into that list? Millwall have the worst away following in the league. 2nd bottom last season to Reading. No way they get near selling out. Thought you were joshing.

    Single Match Tickets

    People need to vote with their feet, tough as that is. All those fans who said they were boycotting our place last season as we were the most expensive in the league (along with Sheff Utd) but how many did? I'm a hypocrite as I'll go to Leicester, but Leeds I won't pay that, and Wednesday have...

    Season tickets

    Doesn't matter really. It fills half the end, so give them that, 3000 is still 1000 more than were obliged to give and one of the biggest allocations in the league. Don't understand this clamour to give massive allocations and the advantage that gives to the opposition for a small uplift in...

    That's a wind up right?

    Season tickets

    Yep, it is staggering that some people would wilfully give the opposition the advantage that a massive following gives, it becomes like a cup tie and players can raise their game in response. There is a reason why the likes of Albion restrict to 2000 when there are 1000s of empty seats. That...

    Season tickets

    If it hits £35 for the cheapest available adult seat, that would make us the 4th most expensive in the league, well over £100 for a family of four. I'm not sure how we justify that really. People seem to be almost egging them on to raise prices to this level which I just don't understand. Not...

    Season tickets

    Well, yes. But, given that that the justification for the corporate hikes was to bring them in line with the rest of the division, then let's do that for matchday pricing. On that basis, we should see a slight reduction on last season's prices 👍 Happy days. (cue shouts of wot about leeds...

    2023-24 New Kit Thread

    Some odd takes today. Not a fan of it personally, but it might grow one me and I'll buy it for the kids. Also fans of other clubs seem to really like it. Some people seem angry though and there are some really weird conspiracies doing the rounds. Twitter has gone full on batshit.

    Same here. Never understood all those overweight middle aged men choosing to wear unflattering polyester shirts! Each to their own though. My kids will lap this up though. Hopefully it sells well.

    2023-24 New Kit Thread

    I don't think we've maximised income from that main shirt sponsor tbh. Besides, plastering it with multiple sponsors will turn people off from buying it, so would be a false economy. People would just buy retro shirt remakes from 3rd party retailers in even greater numbers. I like to think that...

    The sponsorship issue aside, I really don't like that at all. Lots will love it though and I'm sure it will sell well.

    We'll end up with ice hockey shirts at this rate. How many sponsors does a shirt need?
