    "IF" we managed to get promoted... How would we fund it

    I'd even let the insects rent the Ricoh if we owned it to earn some money for the sky blues!

    "IF" we managed to get promoted... How would we fund it

    Extra policing we would pay for (I think), local residents...clubs don't always seem to care about - the embarrassment is probably the biggest issue for them! Personally, I'd share my ground to earn an extra million or two (no idea if that figure is accurate), for the potential embarrassment of...

    "IF" we managed to get promoted... How would we fund it

    True, but if we get promoted, they are competing with us regardless. 'helping' us by hosting our home games is nice - but they are getting money that helps their club. If they think it'll make a difference to how they compete in the league, of course they won't accept. I just think...

    "IF" we managed to get promoted... How would we fund it

    If Sisi continue with the reported not investing or withdrawing funds, what happens to the extra money? If robins is allowed to spend on higher wages and fees that would help - but our players may have promotion clauses for wages and payments too. And...Sisu may want some cash back. The ground...

    "IF" we managed to get promoted... How would we fund it

    What threat are we by being in the same ground? We aren't going to steal fans, we give them some of our revenue - both help them. If we played at (for example, not a suggestion!), Walkers crisp bowl, they lose revenue and we still play away from cov.

    "IF" we managed to get promoted... How would we fund it

    Who knows - how much are they earning from us (is it about a million)? If so, can they afford to not accept it? Don't know the deal, but do they get a cut of f&b and parking? Would sponsors like it? If so, Birmingham might be happy enough?

    "IF" we managed to get promoted... How would we fund it

    Some good points here. I've just checked statzone (a couple of years out of date), but looks at trends of relegation following promotion. 40 per cent chance of relegation once getting to premier, but a out 20 per cent for the championship. Whilst we won't be a strong team, two other teams coming...

    "IF" we managed to get promoted... How would we fund it

    True, but not every team has just been relegated. We've got to hope for promotion, then a season (or 2 or 3..) of consolidation in the champ, finishing between 10th and 19th, hoping the ground situation resolved itself and we become gradually stronger as a team. I would expect our team (with a...

    No Jones on bench either - still strength to come in, when fit!

    Transfer Rumour January Transfer Rumours/Deals

    Apart from playing for us last season and therefore some people hoping he is returning, have we had any (un) official comments - like his Twitter going sky blue!? The lack of reports could be MR usual method of not confirming until signed (which is a good way of keeping targets just in our...

    Ipswich summary

    Whilst this may be one of the strongest lineups at present, I think this (and many other seasons!), have shown we rarely get to play our top eleven for a long period of time. What is good is the competition for places and others who can step up and, as you say, create headaches for robins. (And...

    James maddison

    Fair enough. (Replying to comment at bottom) It did come across a bit strong for a well balanced thread, but we'll done for your latter comment. Back to the question - I would hope Maddison would be more focused on his career than just money. Everything we've seen so far - Norwich, Scotland...

    At what point are we allowed to start believing......

    Was just going to say similar. Difficult to predict required points, but everyone is playing two fewer games this year.

    Zain Westbrooke

    Westbrooke and Shipley attended the sbitc holiday camp earlier this year, which my son was at. They were both great with the kids....but the funniest / best thing was Westbrooke played with them and was shooting and celebrating when he scored past an eight year old. Just polite, young lads...
