  1. In my experience normal practice, if a sale is pending, is to get a CEO in to make that sale happen, so maybe no sale pending imminently or the situ has changed since PA came in and PA is now not the CEO with the right experience to facilitate the sale?
  2. That's commercialism though isn't it? You could said that about pretty much anything that is sold. The difference here is it's free content so costs you nothing
  3. The sun blazing into Dolman corporate boxes would be a nightmare! They would need tinted windows and air con pumping!
  4. This guy does a lot of our games, and has a lot of extra footage of the game which is worth a look
  5. Yet people moan and mock Mark Ashton for making statements all the time, now a thread asking for more statements ??
  6. And what is really grating is that the money generated goes, in part, to pay the players a crazy amount of money that puts us at a loss every year! But the justification is if we don't pay it then we won't get the players and will go down, or we won't get the players needed to get promoted, but every club says the same so every club does the same nonsensical thing. All clubs could charge less for tickets and pay all players less if directed as such, especially if told you can only spend x on players, or x on tickets, but this self governing thing between clubs is terrible, they should have an independent body who sets the boundaries
  7. What is a real shame with the pricing especially is that they are treating fans like consumers, we should, at our heart, be a football club, with fans at the centre, and to fleece them with tat shows where our moral compass at the club currently sits. They may argue that if you want a successful team then you need to get the money in to pay players wages, but that is BS when you have a billionaire owner who bails the club out to the tune of millions every year, so getting a relatively low sum from fans is a drop in the ocean. How many shirts do we sell? Even if for ease of maths you went with 10,000 shirt sales per year, if SL said I will personally take £10 off the shirt price to help fans, that's still only £100,000 out of his pocket, compared to the multi millions he spunks up the wall on players and wages and everything else. The fans would feel valued, SL has made the money back by lunch time in interest, everyone is happy. The fish rots from the head!
  8. As mentioned many times, market forces will dictate what happens next, if people still buy the stuff then the club will think they have made the right choice. Ive seen plenty of people wearing the kit and accessories already so they either don't care what it looks like or genuinely like it. I agree that hoody looks completely generic and void of any quality, but I'm not stupid enough to buy it! it reminds me of stuff you get personalised online for stag do's or class of 23 leavers hoodies! The difference between that one and the very good quality grey Hummel hoodie is poles apart!
  9. Fat people shouldn't be made to feel uncomfortable at Ashton Gate, so but two seats!
  10. Very much enjoying waking up this morning to read comments from a Rovers fan on a City forum trying their very best to score points (using examples from at least 20 years ago to do it) ironically after Rovers have just scored some points! I must admit references to Bros were a definite highlight, I hope they keep going, maybe John Atyeo is in for pasting soon?
  11. Pick eeee out! What a finish Only if she had go go gadget arms! She couldn't get anywhere near that
  12. As discussed in the membership thread, It boils down to the lack of choice for how you receive your tickets. The only option now is to print at home/show on your phone, so the price advertised should be inclusive of all costs including booking fee as per ASA guidance. I think somebody mentioned that when raised before the club said they would check what other clubs do which is a poor response, they are effectively saying that if other clubs screw their fans then we will do the same! How about so the right thing by your own fans and screw the other clubs who are wrong!
  13. All the talk of everyone hating the kit etc but when I went to the Oxford game I was surprised how many people were wearing the new kits. Ultimately if the numbers don't add up then I'm sure we will have a get out of the deal, but if people keep buying it then we will stay put im sure
  14. Nice vlog from the Millwall game, mostly about hooligan reputation and seeing what it's really like, but some clips of the game
  15. SL will have already paid more tax than all of us put together earn in a life time
  16. Italians have too much style to wear sweat shop made football shirts! Their football scarves are great though and the big accessory for Italian fans I could be wrong but I think they were making a joke
  17. He's still paying off all those signs he got made!
  18. It's funny how people see things differently, I was sat corner of Lansdown South Stand so he was quite prominent in my view 1st half
