  1. Check junk / spam. Otherwise ticket office…I guess they’ll just need your supporter id
  2. Yeah, would make sense…eg only 7k left of a much smaller capacity left.
  3. If it’s on bet365, use a computer / browser and zoom out. If you use iPad / iPhone type device you’ll be stuck with mini-screen. That’s what happened on the basketball.
  4. I think Mark Ashton only has his own interests, his own ego and his own pocket at heart. It certainly would’ve been interesting to have been a fly on the wall!!!
  5. We’ve exercised it already. His contract now runs until 30th June 2024.
  6. So would I, but if only 7k left, that suggests we’ve sold more than you or I think.
  7. Crap / approx maths coming up. Atyeo 4k (2.5k sold) leaves 22k but take off 6k for upper LS leaves 16k 7k left, means we’ve sold 9k ourselves…plus Swansea 2.5k. So 11k ish tomorrow??? over to you Carol / Rachel!
  8. Logan, very good. Obviously daughter of Terry, wife of international rugby player, and an international gymnast herself. Good pedigree.
  9. Murray - average ? I love him on the Top 10 stuff with Lineker and Shearer, I just sit there smiling (and reminiscing)…great entertainment. But I think he’s not presenter material (not yet anyway). Never see her in the sane room as James Corden do you! Only Des could make a 3am wake-up for Olympics or Football feel like he was in the living room with you. What a pro. ”Morning, glad you could join us…”
  10. You describe perfectly the Olly Thomas I saw a number of times in u23s last season. He dies so remind me of Antoine (mk2) Yes, I’d imagine so. 4 Yr (and option) signed in Sept 2019 whilst on loan to FGR, where he started well but tailed off. Even made his City debut against Exeter in EFL Cup under Holden at start of 20/21 season, never to appear again. On trial with MK Dons summer 2021 but Martin / Williams managerial duo split when Martin went to Swansea. Then a trial this summer with Williams at Notts County to no avail. I just find it a bit bizarre. Looks so elegant when I’ve seen him in u23s (u21s). May lack a yard of pace for this level admittedly, but I struggle to see how he’s not become a pro elsewhere, unless… …that contract was too big for anyone to want to take it on, or him accept City cancelling his deal here. Both club and player appear to be the loser here. City contractually obliged of course. I hope it is a “money-thing” and as soon as his contract ends here this summer, he will genuinely be free to kick start his pro career.
  11. Not sure the second of those was my quotes Not that it matters…crackpot logic indeed, as per my reply near the top of this page (3).
  12. Well articulated. ?????? Here’s City’s status: Kalas, despite coming over young, spent loan periods abroad so didn’t meet the reqs of been home grown. Whereas Weimann did. Naismith doesn’t because he was in Scotland, Atkinson in France! Yesterday Massengo is club developed!!!
  13. I think you are BOTH right. Ashton was put on gardening leave. He was occasionally wheeled out for the HPC stuff to give the impression all was hunky-dory behind the glare of the media. I think that if Ashton had remained, Pearson wouldn’t have stayed. You’ve only got to listen to his criticism of our strategy to see he includes Ashton (and the Lansdowns) in that.
  14. When he first came in he did take some around the box. I’d like to see him take more.
  15. Ewan Clark loan ended at Yeovil too.
  16. Nope, saw him come on as sub once late in a game (might’ve been Peterborough away). He did okay. Quick.
  17. Olly Thomas could be the next Semenyo
  18. I can ? guarantee we lost a shedload on Gustavo Engvall. Eisa, I maybe miles off the mark, but I didn’t like the amount we paid to a club managed by GJ. Because they offered him a wage he couldn’t refuse.
  19. Hence why I don’t think some people were inclined to quash that rumour. £4m one game into the season for a key player sounds much better than £750k doesn’t it. Mr Ashton didn’t get good fees all the time did he. Not the only example either.
