Just shows how crazy inflation has been. 

There was a backlash about these prices for the the 1981/82 season 

On our way down I guess so will have been 1980-81.

Hi Everyone.

Firstly I just want to introduce myself. I'm Sean Henneberry the brother of Martin, (Tinners) as he was often known. Although I read the forum I have never joined as a contributor until now. I have been overwhelmed by the sheer volume of tributes that have appeared both here and on other social media platforms. I would like to offer my sincere thanks to all of those who have payed Tinners such amazing tributes since hearing of his passing. I am truly humbled by the many kind and often touching stories about how he was such a valued friend and City stalwart. As you can imagine this has hit me and the family very hard and we are still trying to come to terms with it, however reading all of the love and kindness both from people who knew him well and even those who didn't has really helped me personally through this last difficult week. We were extremely close and shared many happy and not so happy occasions following the club we all love. He truly was  C.T.I.D to the core and will leave a huge gap in my life and those of many others. I suspect some of you on here know me already so I'm sure we'll meet up and drink a toast to my wonderful brother next season. Things will never be quite the same for me again but Martin's legacy remains and he'll always be there for me at the Gate and in so many other ways.

Love to All.

C.O.Y.R.

So sorry for your loss Sean. A lovely message and tribute.

I've just found the answer. Website updated today says a rise of between £15 and £20.

Yes full price list from 1 June set out here now:

but they can do that now! so why put the price up?

 

As others have said, depends how you view it - I prefer to think of it as getting a cheaper price for parting with cash/signing up early. Like a lot of purchases, commit early and get the best deal. Encourages more to commit early which in turn gives the club earlier cash (or committed cash if the DD payment option).

i know, i know i know it’s what everyone else has said but all those who wanted to keep their seats or get the best choice would still go early or lose their seat. so keep the seat deadline but do away with the price increase coming up

Not everyone is renewing though. Some are buying for the first time.

Sorry to hear this. Didn’t know Tinners but from the picture - unless I’m very much mistaken - I recognise him from S21 and he was always very helpful in aiding my Dad (who has trouble walking) get down the aisle. I just showed this post to my Dad and he was quite shaken by the news as they had shared a chat. Thoughts with his family and friends.

I wouldn't have thought fences at this stage certainly

https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/clubs-could-face-partial-stadium-closures-in-efl-crackdown-on-pitch-invasions-j3bkvwcng

Was going to put this on the playoff thread but saw this on Wednesday in the Times. Granted largely behind a paywall...anyway partial capacity reductions or behind closed doors games are a possible punishment.

Last couple of days have contained some pretty nasty incidents.

A nice comment underneath that article! 

“Also a disgrace was the pitch invasion at Bristol Rovers a few weeks ago. The pitch was invaded 5 minutes from the end when BR scored a seventh goal to lift them into an automatic promotion place. The game restarted 20 minutes later but I imagine the opposition were too scared to play anymore and just wanted to get off the pitch safely. If the opposition had pulled a goal back in those last 5 minutes BR would have had to settle for the playoffs, not to mention the riot that may have ensued.”

This was what the EFL put out on Weds - as you say, capacity reductions etc. on the agenda

Hope we don’t go back to fences, but because of the nutters/drunks, you have to move to no tolerance to anyone going on the pitch (bans, fines etc.) And I have some sympathy for Vieira tonight - why should he just take it from someone who should not be anywhere near him?

State of McKirdy there.

Agree. One of the worst penalties I think I’ve seen - and then he laughed  

Swindle out

Sudden death 

Samba got them through that match. Some good saves during the game and that’s got to be one of the best performances I’ve seen from a keeper in a penalty shoot out - he owned it. 

Love the play offs (unless we’re in them!)

Everton now down to 10 men so not all over just yet. 

There was a nice section at the end of Saturday’s show when Colin signed off plus some highlights of the last four years. Ashton Gate popped up a couple of times. 

Everton as not been outside top flight for years

Think I’m going to give up with it now, haven’t got a clue what going on, it’s a tv commentary on an audio stream. Terrible. 

Agree it’s poor. If they’re going to use it for audio as well, they need to commentate for those who don’t have pictures. The long silences don’t tell us a lot! I was going to cancel it after today’s match anyway so I’m not charged over the Summer but hopefully they get it sorted for next season. 

Makes sense not to risk him for this last match my view. Key for us that he has a  well prepared off season and that he is fit to last next season. I also wonder if Benarous picking up an ACL injury also came into the thought processes.

It has been poor but if offered 21 points clear of relegation I would have taken it. I know there’s more to it than that but last 5 or so games have been encouraging so room for a little optimism - just a little mind, this is a OTIB forum  

Agree - certainly not the worst season. Since we were promoted to the Championship in 2015, in terms of points total, we’ve had 3 worse seasons and 3 better seasons. Probably sums some this season - some good things, some poor things - middling. Score plenty of goals though so there’s a positive. To be honest, I wish the season still had more to run as feels like we have finally clicked. I have more concern about the break and whether we will lose players/the current momentum.

Looks like Tony Mowbray leaving Blackburn as well . OOC and said today he hasn’t been offered a new deal 

Yes I was surprised. Just watched this. Wonder if club finances have anything to do with these decisions not to renew contracts - perhaps hoping for cheaper options.

Always had a soft spot for the Grecians - my dad is from near there and grew up supporting them.

Some nice away days for their fans next season that will be a change from most of the grounds they usually visit - Possibly Sheff W., definitely Charlton, Portsmouth, Bolton.

If Sunderland blow promotion again they’ll go there on League business for the first time in their history. They’ll definitely visit Ipswich for the first time since 1957 in the league.

Me too. Lived in Exeter for most of the 90s. Nice city and nice old school ground (with a railway station!)
