Good, replays are outdated. Even though I enjoyed going to Aldershot for a 2nd round 3rd replay etc etc all those years ago, prefer the drama of the one game. Personally I would scrap the League Cup too to give the FA Cup more prestige ...

All the changes up to early Jan will be announced by Sky before the season starts. Personally looking forward to the huge and varied amount of EFL games on Sky next year, though agreed it will probably influence my attendance on numerous City games.

Gonna say does this happen to such an extent at other Championship grounds...say at Home Park v City the other week (team on a dismal home run, not scoring and discontent with manager) The exodus on 40 mins most games here and then in huge numbers today before the end, is that common place elsewhere when struggling or maybe just what modern day people do now ? I saw the goal this time but would have definitely left before the end another day though probably if we were 3-0 down not 1-0 ..

Yeah agreed, even if the fixtures come out mid June with the Sky's bulk live date changes including till Jan all will be after season ticket renewal dates..

The fixture list should stay solid up to January as the TV dates and times are set in stone till then (Jan 7th - End of season might be different) but yes Police could / will move the Welsh clubs..

Understand my ST price rise and actually intrigued to see if LM can build his own side ..but agree its the impact of the TV deal that will have the biggest effect on me attending games...

An awful lot of Championship footy live, being all opening day, final day, all the Bank Holidays, all midweek let alone taking 5 of the standard Saturday fixtures each week.. Can't see there being as much notice on games after Christmas as presumably Sky will want to choose the more attractive ones especially as the season progresses...though the scope to pick will be wider ..

I thought it was weird on his part, not waiting to look at all his options in the summer, even if he made the same decision. .not as if we're Real Madrid or something....totally get it from Derby and City's prospective ...

I thought LM tactically first half got it right reducing free-flowing Ipswich to virtually nothing, second half I thought Mckenna got it right with his tactics and substitutions Overall I think the club will back Manning in the summer to build the team in the way he wants with the ingredients he needs...may work may not ..have some reservations but generally happy to give him a chance.

Agreed, can't have these rows of empty seats in the South Stand, someone will lose out I'm sure but that look can't be right..

Love the shirt, would have introduced it as the main kit for the 25/26 season as a 50 years on from promotion instead...

Agreed should be next year's kit ..

Hope she's ok, always more likely to watch the pre-match build up if Michelle is on..

Disgraceful decision at this late hour ...

Agreed, couldnt care less and expect it, never once think about privacy or human rights or stuff like that ...

Having refeered myself I would bring back an extra 10 yard rule for dissent instead, still all down to a individuals tolerance level and perception of dissent though..

Trains out of WSM to Bristol also delayed at present ..trespassers on the track....

Everyday, enjoy the read and catch up on the train to work or wherever..ok with the Evening Post too no problem ..

Agreed thought he was excellent, especially that element of his performance.

10/11th is correct, not read anywhere all games would be at 12.30 (that sounds ridiculous from a viewers prospective ) first day (s) of the season ALL Championship matches are live on Sky..

Agreed I was surprised how 'poor' the concourse was actually for an Olympic Stadium

I needed to use their WiFi so no probs I expected them..

Biggest surprise of the season to me how ineffective (bar Roth) he's been, thought he bulked out a bit last year and though not ideal as the loan striker role, thought he'd give it a fair go but alas its not worked out at all. Still a promising player in there, hopefully LM will eventually get the best out of him.

Agreed I think Yeovil too at some stage, Fleetwood job never looked an appropriate fit.

Agreed enjoy watching all the divisions, probably less interested in the City highlights as can watch them standalone in the mini Sky game highlights.
