    They are harmless who actually cares what they do. I don't see why it affects people so much. Very odd.

    I don’t get it either. Some posters want Lansdown to sell up, but then get funny over someone who bought Wrexham.
    Perhaps they started it as a drunk joke venture, but I think Reynolds has bought property to live near there as well. There will be others that may try, but with the Netflix deal, they won’t be repeated.

    Yes, believe we wanted an option to buy, but Burnley wanted far too much.

    I think Burnley realise they have a pretty valuable asset at Championship level, and so we're never going to let him go "on the cheap" at a loss on the £4m they paid for him. 

    After missing out on Azaz I think we felt we had to move on Twine, even if it wasn't our preferred type of deal. 

    Otherwise we'd have been down to no's 3, 4....etc on the shopping list and my understanding is they were players that weren't proven at this level. 

    I’m wondering if Burnley are taking a gamble and he’s good for us they get their asking price. If they stay up they won’t need him, go down there is a good chance Brownhill is off and will be room to deal on the price for both parties.

    No what happens is people buy the children's season ticket for 50 quid and then pay the ten pounds to upgrade the free shirt for an adult shirt. 

    So essentially they are paying 10 quid to reserve a seat next to themselves (adult shirt costs 50 quid) in the hope that when we get a big game, they can upgrade that ticket for one of their mates who rarely ever go. 

    It's a great initiative for people like me who genuinely bring their child, however it is a system that is open to abuse and IS abused as seen on this thread. Do you happen to be one of these people? 

    Some may do, but not me. Plus I pay £100 not £50 for my granddaughters ST.
    Saturdays we drag her along in the hope that she starts enjoying it. Night games the Mrs miss out and my son in law takes place who also pays membership. 
    Like I said it was a genuine question to ask why can’t they allow an upgrade. But some of the comments are like I plan it every year in the hope of one big game, or a free shirt which would be more expensive than buying one direct.  Like I said some may do, but not me.

    Cos people only buy the cheap children's season tickets so that in this eventuality they can upgrade the ticket to an adult one. 

    Considering people can upgrade the free shirt to an adults shirt for 15 quid I think then they are essentially playing the system. 

    My son will be up for school at 7 the next day, he'll still come, as he does for every midweek game. I knew when I brought his ticket that there would be a fair number of midweek games. 

    Why buy a season ticket if you know your granddaughter can't make them? Has your granddaughter even been to any games this season? 

    We live in Wales so don’t get home till late. Due to family circumstances she now lives with us. So we buy her a season ticket as me and the wife had one for years. She’s not interested but hopefully one day she might get the bug. 
     

    It’s not like I’m trying to take the piss by taking a friend who never goes, it’s my son in law who is a member who could sit near me rather than somewhere else in the ground. All that’s happening now is he will get his ticket, I will pay her £5 and a seat goes empty.

    I think Reading do this now don’t they? Forwards here in Bristol too, plenty in Australia and Europe too for sure.

    Reading is opposite ends called East and West stage. You watch a band and then turn and face the next band almost straight after. Thet have a big gap between the ends though. 
    Can’t see it being big artist though as the crowds won’t be as big as normally due to both ends blocked off.
