This only applies to junior memberships (U19 and younger).

It is. It’s why I tell people who are thinking of bringing their child for the first time to get them a membership straight away; for £25 (not £20) it comes with a free adult and child ticket to any league game of your choice. Works out cheaper than just buying two tickets.

I remember that one, he did very well to get it up and over the doors.

Any idea why we had two keepers (Bentley and Clark) on the bench?!

Midtable it is then. Again.

Of course we would but that doesn’t suddenly mean the points today are “extra” or the Southampton points become meaningless if we don’t win today. I just don’t get that narrative. If we lose today and end up in the play offs by a point, the Southampton result still mattered.

Here’s the keeper kit!

How about with stop artificially trying to frame groups of results, and just say every game is an opportunity for three points, and the more we win the better of chances of finishing in the play offs?

The photos from this week make me wonder if the problem is less unused child season tickets and more people moving to the Lansdown when there’s plenty of space in there. Yes, it was half term, but most people don’t go away in February - and I would have expected the fact that kids weren’t at school the next day to mean more would have attended than usual.

Shambles. This is exactly why all the stock should have been online - they would have sold the lot quickly last night and no one would have wasted a journey. In addition to a click and collect service for those who want it. As usual, we’re piss poor at the basics.

Why on earth would it be undesirable to make the play offs? Even assuming we lose in the semis, that would mean we’d had a very encouraging run-in, create a positive atmosphere around the club, a sense of progress, and help with summer recruitment. I can’t see a downside.

Too obvious.

Surely they will, there’s clearly money to be made.

Equally you could get to the shop and not find your size available having made a special trip. It cuts both ways.

I don’t really see how it’s any worse than having no stock online. Just make everything available via every sales channel and when it’s sold, it’s sold. This also opens up the possibility of someone making a special trip and not finding their size - or even any stock at all - when they get there.

Fair play that’s commitment! 70 or 80 that could be online though, saving special trips. Don’t get it.

In this instance, I think it’s as much about the simplicity of the design as much as it is the “retro” feel. No sponsors, no manufacturers logo, no fussy design features. Just a nice, clean design in a vibrant shade of red. If you could have a modern kit with a similarly simple design, I think people would love that too.

Why do they do this? I don’t get it. Pretty much all of us have access to the internet, but lots of us don’t live anywhere near BS3. Why not just make everything available online? We’re so crap at this stuff.

It’s a polyester t shirt for £50. Of course it’s ridiculous. You’ve just become so used to paying silly money for football shirts that you’ve become blind to how overpriced it all is.

There’s a lesson there. So, already sold out online. Is there ANY hope of us actually getting another batch in?! We are so hopeless at stock management and anticipating level of demand. Sorry - two separate posts really, they got merged!

Page now gone altogether!

Just went online - only small size left already!

It is a bit odd, hope she’s OK. No updates to her Instagram since Jan 1st either. Quite a few people have tweeted her asking her if she’s OK, without reply.

“Imperial”?! Steady on!

Permission to feel smug sir?!
