Want to sign a striker, an 10, and a winger. I’d guess that’s not including any outgoings. 
 

Two quotes that stood out for me (outside of trying to shrug off that the retained list wasn’t sorted, less than a day before it was made public!)

 

Re Conway - he has a terrific offer. Ball is in his court. Want him to stay but also want people to be here, so basically make your mind up and either sign or stay. Still being challenged a lot at this level which shows it might be too early to jump. 
 

Re the club - joined because of the ambition the club pitched to him to convince him to join. “Need to back that up in the summer”. Aka, put your money where your mouth is. 


Fair play to him on both those fronts. 

That 2nd quote is exactly what Pearson said numerous times to be fair back us/show ambition which didn’t go down too well did it. 

Just shy of 1,900 tickets shifted decent effort that tbf to us. COYR. 

I’ve never understood this fancy dress for the last away game. I just don’t get it. 

Just shy of 1,800 sold now just over 400 left. Come on let’s sell out. Weather looks decent too. 

Just shy of 1,700 sold for Saturday, be great to get this to 2k plus for the final game. 
 

Home attendances are up to over 22,500. Anyone know how our away support compares this season to last? 

Allocation 2,201 with 720 remaining meaning we’ve sold just under 1,500 with a week to go would like to see this move to the 2k mark. 
 

Tickets are cheap £20 adults & £12 kids. Last day of season not a bad journey & Stoke could still need something froM the match. We have a good record there (famous last words). 

Get on it people. COYR.

6526, **** me.

Not so much a crowd, more an audience.

People saying it was less as like us they count non season ticket holders massive gaps in the loyal Thatchers end too. 
 

could fit last nights entire crowd in lower Lansdown. 

Just looking at ticketing site there are as follows,

Lansdown 381 left across entire stand.

Dolman 91 seats.

South Stand no availability 

So just over 470 home tickets left.

if I was the club I’d try and open up the Atyeo £1 a kid and £15 for an adult. As a season ticket holder making cheap tickets available for this end of season match wouldn’t bother me. Could get 2-3k in there as well as some free school tickets. 
 

as last game I’d imagine a lot of SS season ticket holders who pick and chose are more likely to attend given last game of season etc. 

Baffled me Tommy going off 2nd half he was making good runs and staring to cause issues seemed like he was up for it, I’ve been Tommys biggest critic recently but thought he was on it 2nd half.

I must be in the minority, but I genuinely thought that was a stonewall penalty…

I was sat in Dolman E28 so it happened pretty much right infront of me and from that angle, it just looked blatant. Any one else agree with me or I’m I chatting a load of rubbish? Happy to be proved wrong.

Same here sat in same block looked a penalty all day to me had the perfect view.

Official site says.

We know it was much less really. 15k maybe? 14-14.5k?

That would make the ground half empty which wasn’t the case . I reckon it was 18-19k actual today. 

I’m not even sure we’ve played him in his best position yet? Also since he’s returned our form has been better maybe a coincidence. 

Anyone heard seen much about his form since signing for us? He’s gone from starting every week to now not, he last started a match on 13th Feb, since then he’s started 9 matches from the bench. Any idea what’s going on? 
 

in those 9 games he’s come on and scored 2 and been booked 5 times! 

Are we saying that Leicester face action if they’re promoted? I wasn’t aware of of this.

PM'd you. Happy to help.

And stop people that have more away games! Meaning I might not get one as you’ve helped someone that never goes, bad form that.

Maybe reach out to Tinnion or the SLO on twitter (Matt?) both have helped me in the past, they may be able to do something for you

Sorry but this request should not be helped. I get the story but these tickets should go to season ticket holders and people that have been away multiple times as per policy (god I never quote polices)!

I do wonder if Lansclown was 'that' boy on the playground who brought his ball along & when things didn't go his way promptly took it home & is now continuing in the same vein in adulthood 

Weird post this! 

I think your childs view will be restricted given that everyone stands so the rails will be the least of your issues.

This will no doubt go against the grain, but in my opinion he ain’t up to it.

In such a critical position we need better. JK has a great engine, never stops running or trying, but he’s lacking the quality that we desperately need in such a critical midfield position. If we are to move on then so does JK.  He’s the weak link when compared to Matty James, TGH, Sykesy, or Joe Williams, and even Scott Twine..

There I’ve said it..

I am in agreement with you, no doubt he is full of running like no other and often sets the tempo and is a real positive but for me end product/final ball is really missing (it's no better than Mehmeti's who gets pelters). For me when everyone is fit he may not start, if he does I'd play him deeper where that final ball isn't as important. Can see him being a regular bench player when Twine and Skyes are fit, really miss Sykes his ball is better and also has a goal in him which is so important when playing Tommy as the lone striker.

Looking at the replies to the Brum twitter page looks like a lot of regulars not going tomorrow night as a result of Rooney still being in charge. Hopefully we can make a racket and get an early goal to turn the crowd and knock any up for it attitude out of Brum. 

Now sold out. Looking for 1 child/youth ticket managed to get 2 of the 3 I needed.

Yes!! This has been annoying me all evening. That is who () I was trying to think of earlier. 

100% me too, spit of Sting in that film. 

Read on X that there was a lengthy discussion about City/Lansdowns today on the White & Jordan show anyone know at around what time it was on on so as I don’t have to listen to the whole show? 

I think Lansdown does have a soft spot for Robins and also that he may do for us. 
 

I noticed after last weeks game on the Cov website that Robins name referenced a good few of our players as if he had an interest in limit squad before anyone says I know he’d have watched us but the detail was so much more than saying City have some good players or are strong in midfield etc. 

Thanks for posting I wasn’t aware of some of that detail. There are some similarities here rumours knocking around about Pearson finding out a few weeks ago that instead of opening up contract extension discussions City were talking to other unemployed managers about the possibility of coming to AG when Pearson departed (no new contract offered) also some that believe that Pearson was asked to resign a week or so back a way of getting their new man in earlier than his contract expiry hence his comments after last weeks win V Cov “I’ll honour my contract”.

I’ve seen that Ostrich video and it’s clear that on both occasions he’s taken offence (rightly so) that he’s been questioned about team selections by a senior part of the clubs ownership/management structure.

Will be interesting to see what comes out in the wash.
