I think the club did analysis ages ago I think the outcome was something like that cost wasn't a determining factor, SL did an interview - I think that's where I saw it. They looked at it over multiple years and different cost points and different incentives and they found that even at something like 50% off not enough people turned up to cover additional costs such as additional stewards, it was something like at 50% off you might get a couple hundred extra people in. Things like concessions were already "full" for example, they couldn't get more people buying food and drink all they were doing was making people not want to queue for that long and turning people off. Be interesting to see if they have done the analysis again since the redevelopment.

Everywhere sells tickets with seat numbers on and everyone just sits where they want. It's always up to the respective clubs if they want to enforce it isn't it?

Yeah but this is OTIB we always argue about things we agree on ?.

It would be silly to apologise, no harm done ?.

I hope you're correct but the only changes that seems to be being made are Naismith who I think adds quality and Wilson who has a lot to prove, mainly in place of Semenyo and COD, I don't think that is enough to move us up the table much - especially as the bottom half of the championship seems a lot more competitive this season and we may also get a points deduction. But I'm always pessimistic this time of year and that means I can enjoy the season being a bit better than expected ?.

Is there a loose itinerary? I think the pictures and pyro are usually done at 12 or 1 isn't it?

What we really don't want to do is get the points deduction and then sell one of our prized assets because the offer was too good.

I went to the club shop a couple weekends ago and gave them my season ticket - they said I couldn't use last year's balance (which I hadn't touched) but if they put it in it would be on record and then any benefit could be claimed post the announcement of the new loyalty scheme.

Happy to help him out but Cheltenham can pay the going rate.

The first paragraph I kind of see where you're going, it's an overstep but there is a grain of truth in it. The rest - you've completely lost me.

For anyone listening I would recommend fast forwarding to 18 mins. Everything before that is buildup, filler or nothing to do with city.

Not going to do a tough interview at this time of year and potentially upset the ST sales. As always with SL a positive outlook with an acceptance that we aren't where we want to be. At least this season he isn't talking about getting promoted other than in the context of aiming for it alongside 23 other teams that are also aiming for it and some having extremely better financial positions than us.

I have fallen in love with that Robin logo with the wings spread. This kit - not so sure.

Hell no! How do you figure out all the different perspectives people have and which ones you agree with if everyone just follows the prevailing perspective. Don't forget there are times in history where people were called fools for suggesting the world was round (no we're not opening up a debate on that). Throughout history time and time again most governments have proven that they will lie and cheat the public to do what they think is best, questioning it and civil disobedience if not given a suitable answer is a necessity - it's tests the systems we build to ensure they aren't fragile and built on lies and deceit. People that put there thoughts out in public to be shot down are very useful, they provide a mechanism to think about if we have got it wrong or not.

Tiss has some interesting perspectives to say the least, I actually have some time for his perspectives - I don't agree with a lot of them but I can see where they are coming from and that is an important place e.g. freedom - what should be held IMHO as more important than life/death. JC should have been sacked for what he did and if he was 10 years older and less relevant then probably would have been.

I've started refering to the England u19 as Alex Scott's England u19s.

3rd season running. I agree, Blackpool were up for it last season. Heads don't go down if they concede.

Playing a promoted side first game at home for the 3rd season running. @PHILINFRANCE

This is precisely the problem. He is player that has come into the game about 15 years too late for his ideal position.

It's a undisclosed so they aren't going to do that but looking at everything else that's been part of our financial management of KP how much do you think we have paid them?

I would like to see the financial arrangements in detail to be honest before we find out if this is a good thing for us or not.

This is one of those that's probably got a 1% chance of biting us in the backside. If Barnsley can offer him a better contact than us then they must feel they can get more out of him than we can after we've had a close look at him for a few years. Good luck to him.

Difference between Tottenham arsenal and west ham is how much the stadium cost them.

Yeah probably, I can imagine it makes conversations with the club difficult though, if the prevailing thought is that section 82 are throwing things or causing problems and then some people actually from section 82 approach the club to do a display or something they are going to find it a lot harder to convince them. We could just call it the east end as it is the east end of the south stand but that seems far too obvious.

Section 82 is a group of supporters, as cringy as it is you mean expand the "singing section". It's regularly busy in the singing section with people trying to get in that don't have tickets to try and enjoy the atmosphere so expanding it a block across the south stand seems like a good idea - that block already stands a lot of the time anyway. You say about the hooligans but but a few instances of individuals throwing something isn't exactly and endemic hooliganism problem - they've been banned hopefully that's the end of it.
