    match packages

    They were, in my opinion, about right last season. The increases will only be justified if the results/performances are up to scratch and the people keep coming. I'm not convinced that's going to happen as I doubt the increases will lead to investment in the team. I suppose that if things...

    match packages

    We had 6 match packages last year which were available during the early bird period. They cost us £78 for the adult and £60 for the senior, £138 in total. We always chose our seats in blocks 19 or 21. This season they weren't available during early bird, or even at the start of the season...

    food again

    I agree with you that it is surely unnecessary to resort to buying food at a football match, especially if it is outrageously priced. It's a couple of hours, FFS! There is absolutely no excuse for poor quality when they are charging so much. Likewise with the beer, which someone earlier said...

    Quick Ticket Question

    Surely the club have hired Ticketmaster to resolve the issues of the shambolic arrangements we have seen over the last few years. It is clearly an arrangement that is costing them very little as the people buying the tickets are the ones forking out the fees for the privilege of purchasing...

    It's time...

    I just can't see beyond what you say, yet I have no idea either how we get rid of them. The club has no future whatsoever with so little investment, yet the owners won't walk away while there is a possibility of recovering any losses. The end game really doesn't bear thinking about. The...

    Season tickets?

    They wore white shirts which was weird. Surely they could have found a set of shirts in their dirty red colour somewhere about their shabby little stadium. Or could it have been a ploy to sell the away strip......

    Opening day of the season memories

    The opening day in 1975/6 was quite memorable. We had a tough opener at Everton and didn't have much hope as they were still a decent team then and very tough to beat at Goodison Park. But City performed out of their skins and won 4-1 with a David Cross hat-trick. On the way home we were...

    Stokes needs an operation

    Absolutely agree. But all managers do it. They are always trying to get games out of players when they are less than fit. Remember the days of the routine pain-killing injections. It is very short-term, but managers are usually only there short-term so they gamble. As you say, they never...

    Season tickets?

    They did. Details in July, they said. But there is nothing on the website about them. Lots of the stuff about tickets still refers to last season. I think they have just been conveniently forgotten, which is a pity as they are useful for many people. It would have been even better if there...

    Season tickets?

    I can't find anything on their website about them. I've been looking every week or so for ages. Any details would be welcomed.

    Season tickets?

    We had match packages last season. The club said there would be an announcement during July about these. Nothing at all though, so I presume they are not going to bother. Unless they are announcing them today! It's a pity as they were very useful for those of us who live some distance away...

    Signing to be announced at 5pm

    The 'signing' will probably be a book signing. Julian Darby signing copies of his new autobiography - "I Was Once John Gayle's Teammate". Available in all good bookshops, and lots of rubbish ones, at just £19.99. Form an orderly queue.

    JPT Reform - Good For The Game?

    I agree. The competition has been tried under various guises for years and has never been any sort of success really. We had the Full Members Cup, then the Simod Cup. Who could forget the night we played Millwall in a dead game in front of 1000 fans? (Ok, everyone could.) Will they never...

    Vincelot joins Bradford

    We hear that a lot from fans, and managers too, when a player moves on in an unpopular move. But I think it does rather misjudge the way professional footballers think. Playing football is a job and the club is their employer, just like the rest of us. In the vast majority of cases the...

    Overhyped Player

    I reckon that just about sums up what is wrong in football now. There is so much TV and sponsorship money sloshing about and everyone seems to want to get their greedy snouts in the trough. I had Pogba down as one of the most overrated players at Euro2016 and I think that will prove true...

    Wolves bought for 45 million

    This is what has been meant when people say the club has been run into the ground. The main asset of any club outside the Premier League will always be its stadium, and as we don't have one we are indeed worthless. At this level our players are as much a liability as an asset if they are in...
