21? ?

one phone call over lunch and was visible for me. You need a "Strong relationship" for season ticket renewals to be visible apparently. All done and very quick ?

Looks like it will be seamless - once I manage to get the final member of the group in the list, who finally bit the bullet with a half season ticket. I have just double-checked that she is linked to me in the relationship section (I got her Man C ticket, so I know it worked then as well) - but she is not showing on the renewal page

Sorry @Bizyer, the words needed the pictures to go with them ?

Brilliant quote at the end of the Mail one - Pep's on the Thatchers ?

The bit I like about this City team right now, is that I am not expecting a late equaliser if we're only one up at 80 minutes. The defence really need to take a bow for the evolution we have seen in the last couple of months

Perhaps they don't want to be seen (by the SAG etc.) as encouraging a group likely to be persistent standers to move to an area of the ground where they had not put time and money into mitigating the risk from standing, even if the players and manager enjoyed the atmosphere generated? The kids I bring loved it from E2, it isn't often we can hear the far corner due to the AG acoustics - so I hope a way can be found to have this continue so long as some consideration for the existing ST holders in the area can be forthcoming... so perhaps the organisers could actually contact the club themselves?

I'd take losing one of them if the ffp boost meant we could bring in 2 or 3 to show the rest of the current squad how to compete

The last point at least isn't relevant for my employment - my "reference salary" for use when calculating payrises, pensions, etc is maintained unchanged by the salary sacrifice agreement. I agree it isn't for everybody - but when I decided to go down the salary sacrifice route I did it with my eyes open and then when it came to choosing the car to get a car of similar size/spec it was significantly more expensive to get a petrol or diesel car than the one I chose - over £200 a month net cost less than the one it replaced, even without the cost per mile for electricity Vs petrol or diesel (even now with the electric increases)

it isn't faux green credentials for everyone driving an EV - for me I got mine through a salary sacrifice scheme, so the current tax incentives mean it was cheaper for me than a petrol or diesel car in terms of the net monthly cost in my pay packet...then cheaper running costs (about 5p a mile in summer, 8p or so with the heating on right now). Any perceived green benefit is a bonus, I made the choice on money in my pocket, nothing more. Sounds like where you live is a pain in the rear end when it comes to trying to cut your energy bills. As i've said to others who find a season ticket isn't being used enough, maybe consider downgrading to membership? At least when you do want to get to a game you get it cheaper and there is still a level of priority for a big cup match or (dreaming now) playoff fixture

True - but if this is in conjunction with St Mungos, they will hopefully be trying to reach out to the homeless people they already work with. Great gesture from the club, shame it is needed, as others have already said

That depends on how you do the motorway driving. I can get to Alton Towers and back on a full charge if I stick at 65 on the motorway outside of all those 50mph roadworks... which is about 10 minutes longer in each direction even if it feels slow to begin with. Do the same trip hitting 80 on the motorway and I need a 30 minute charge... but I'd probably stop for a break anyway. My car's advertised range is 331 miles, I can definitely get over 300 in the summer, maybe 270-280 this time of year Edit: Agreed on the standing start - you'd need a supercar to beat even an average electric car...

The highlighted phrase is the key for me. On each individual occasion across the last couple of years the consensus seems to be "I've seen those given".... but they appear to never be given in our favour!

Much as I sympathise with the high cost for POTD, if the cost had been cut to (say) £20 for 2,500 (I know @Harry said 3500 but some will be kids), the club would need to recoup £37,500 to break even in comparison - so an additional 1875 seats would need to be sold(or equivalent through extra profit on merch sales). My guess is the club will have got more from the £35+ price point...

We need this to be used in the OTIB swear filter about any referee comments, guy was truly awful (as per our expectations, given his history with us)

Didn't Steve Phillips sign for us from Paulton?

On the second point, wonder how much more you need other than "we're demolishing it"

Not sure the train companies are interested in striking....

to be honest, I thought similar! I remember all the people waxing lyrical about just how good the acoustics were in the East End - and indeed remembered some times I was in there when much younger that it felt absolutely deafening in there. But from my seat in the middle of the Dolman at the time the stand was reopened for home fans, I heard the away fans more as often as not

We did that after the 7/7 bombings. Queen + Paul Rodgers were due to play at Hyde Park the day after. This was pushed back a week, but we had booked train and hotel on a non-refundable basis, so we had a couple of days doing the London Tourist thing and booked another (as cheap as possible) hotel room for the week after. Something @Never to the dark sidemight be interested in for the second trip - we ended up driving to Slough and taking the train from there, as the full price from Bristol with only a week's notice was eye watering....

From the experimental 361 link: "At the other end of the scale, Bristol City are one of only two EFL clubs to have kept hold of all of their most-used 11." Has to be a big factor in this I think

I'm afraid I have done a @Never to the dark side style thing. Last night I drove back from a week's holiday in the Blackpool haven site....

i obviously don't know the source and none of us know the details... I suppose the question is whether "derisory" from one perspective is "reflective of the post-COVID financial position" from another...

Yes you get an atmosphere... plus you get the unedifying spectacle of a whole end pretty much ignoring the match to shout/jeer/gesticulate at each other. Even now we get that to a degree with the Dolman A block. As others have stated we get a better atmosphere by having more of us (yes including me!) joining in with chants or even being brave enough to try starting a few of our own. Ironically, this seems to get diluted when we have big crowds due to things like the Mates Rates offers (not that I'm against them just making an observation on the effects to the noise levels)

There looks to be a block of almost 50 in W17 - just released maybe (?) - and about 7 single seats in the upper Lansdown
