Oh 100%, that's why I said still sign one....just not at Twine's price.
If LM wants to play 2 AMCs then we need more than Mehmeti, Sykes and Stokes as the options because we must never play Knight there, he's too important / better further back.

I’m also hoping Benarous can get fit and stay fit - he would add to the options. 

Him coming into the team in this position v Leicester could turn out to be a master stroke that benefits us for the long-term. I don’t think anyone was expecting it even when the line-up was announced that day.

Hi Rob, my bro is already of the physical card.

Hi Eardun.

I'm surprised no one else has mentioned issues if that's the case, but I'll get my brother to try himself online tomorrow, and take it up with the club if he needs to.

As you say, need to hear from someone who has a physical card and has renewed and whether that showed as an option online.

To anyone who has renewed a 'physical season card'.

Can someone please confirm whether the renewal process states or gives the option for a physical season card. (I've seen the FAQ which says to hold on to this years physical; card.)

Thank you.

Why:

I went to renew two tickets and after clicking 'proceed to checkout', I only got the 'digital delivery' option (I say option, but there was nothing else to click on!). Now that was fine for me as I have a digital season card, so I renewed mine only. Then I went back and went through the process to renew my brother's physical card season ticket, but again just got the digital only option.

I suspect the system only shows digital option as cards won’t be available for most (ie only available for those who already have them). Could try and renew by phone. Or renew online and contact them to say your brother will want it loaded to his existing card.

I swear some people on here think we are Manchester City and can buy the perfect all-round midfielder. 

We start to look in better shape at CB now even playing a back three given Roberts ability in that role, plus Tanner is doing well there too. Hopefully Atkinson will come back strong as well.

As someone who was undecided but always probably going to renew, I am now really looking forward to next season, misplaced optimism probably.

I wonder if any others have been persuaded to renew when a month ago they were in the “not sure” or “probably not” camp?

I’m looking forward to next season too, but then I always was (I didn’t get all the doom and gloom). I’m happy to see what Manning can achieve and after all the Championship is a good standard of football (I’d be miserable if we had been relegated!). Plus there are always some good individual performances to watch even in the matches where we don’t click going forwards (e.g. Dickie).

Williams has been good this season. Would personally still rather keep James if it is one or the other but would not be disappointed if he is retained.

I just think that James’ age will go against him if we can only keep one of them (he’ll be 33 at the start of next season). Williams really is at peak age (27, 28 in Dec)

Yep spot on

It would be good to see a goal like this one from Trundle! 
 

A great night. Vivid memories. And three years later (45 years ago) we had climbed to these heady heights!

Bit difficult to be critical of the club in those circumstances. They are visiting children with life limiting conditions and we are bellyaching about the lack of a visual press conference............................that would be a bad look.

To be fair to @FNQ he thought that there hadn’t been any press conferences (he had just missed them; he wasn’t complaining about the format)

6 minutes ago, FNQ said:

Well I know that I’m viewed by too many as being overly negative.. fair enough I get that too.

But where is the feedback / outrage on no pre game LM presser before our toughest remaining game of the season?

Where is the update on players contracts after LM said last week that discussions would happen this week? 

Where is the forums feedback on Mark Sykes comments in the EP basically confirming what a lot of us have been saying with regard to old style versus Manningball?

Have we all just given in and conformed?

 

There were press conferences this week - a bit different and audio only though as done outside at the Children's hospice. Manning’s previous comment about contracts was that they would start talking to players about contracts from this week - highly unlikely that they would be ready to talk to the press about that yet.

Some people have an interest in what ex-players are doing (i don't see any hero worship or fascination as is being claimed). I think that's fine. It's also fine if you don't have any interest.

What is odd is that you and others have come on to a thread that is clearly about an ex-player, (even though you have no interest) and got all upset.

 

Reminds me of Ricky Gervais and guitar lessons:

Agree - and 9k in fact. I’m not too bothered about the end of replays - not convinced that our two replays this season were good for us given the size of our squad.

I don’t mean to offend but why does anyone care about Marlon pack . He left and went to the only rivals we’ve had for the last 20 odd years . I don’t think you’d find another club who would keep ranting on about ex players who left them to go to a rival club ( for example Bobby Reid and pack) .

Probably because he was part of a league title winning team and we don’t have many of those. As for Cardiff, we chose to sell him there and I’m not aware that he was looking to leave us.

I was charged £1.25 each season ticket - two booked in one transaction and £2.50 charged.

This was the Q&A:

All Season Tickets purchased over the phone are subject to a £2 booking fee per Season Ticket. For Season Tickets purchased online, each Season Ticket is subject to a £1.25 booking fee, excluding all Under-19 and Under-12 Season Tickets which are fee free when purchasing online.

All Carer Season Tickets are fee free.

Not sure what's happened with Towler, played 20 times last season after signing in January but has only made 5 appearances in the League this season.

Would imagine he's off on loan or sold in the summer.

Seems from this article that he hasn’t been able to dislodge other defenders in the team who have been playing well

I’ve always liked going to Fulham. So why is that?

- Location plays a big part - easy to get to on the train; pleasant, short and safe walk along the river; plenty of places to eat and drink nearby
- A ground with some character/history (not a soulless bowl) 

- Good sized away allocation.

Huge congratulations to them, been away a while.

As an indication of how much it has changed since & with Rotherham already relegated, can only think of Plymouth & QPR who will have a smaller capacity.

Small away allocation I guess then - shame.

Yes pleased for him, especially as they let him ago at the start of his career - must be all the sweeter. Hope he gets another league one winners medal too - unlikely that Derby will catch them. 

I see in fact that they are champions already! Good for him.
