Re: Rival Watch

tidus_mi2 Vale equalise but they really need to win.

2-1 Wycombe. That could be that for them unfortunately.

Re: Rival Watch

Burton will certainly have something to play on Saturday, but it's looking increasingly likely Blackpool will also something to play for against us.

Re: Royals on the Box/Internet Thread

This isn't at all good for fans that watch live football even with the proposed notice, one of the good things about this season has been 3 o'clock kick offs and midweek games not live which kills attendances. So next season we will have around 8 midweek games all live, all cup games and assuming o...

Re: Changes In Football thread

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Chesterfield, having got to 90 points after 35 games, have now picked up just 5 points in their last 10 games. Clearly massively taken the foot off the gas once it became clear they were up. Went from losing just 3 games in those first 35 to 10 now. Question is, how fair is that on other sides with...

Re: Burton (A)

Fantastic news to share - Burton have banned inflatables on Saturday 8) They tried the same last time we did it there (2017); initially taking away inflatables from the first hundred or so people in the terrace. The gave up when they realised they didn't have enough stewards to enforce it. :lol: Un...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Given the last few years I'm not sure we should really be lolling at clubs with batshit mental owners seemingly intent on screwing the club into the ground. That said, £3 billion? Just how could a stadium cost that much unless you're using it for money laundering purposes? Tottenham's stadium cost ...

Re: Ups & Downs 23/24

Looking at the Championship promotion picture, I think Southampton are back in play. If Southampton win their two games in hand on Ipswich and Leeds, it would be: Ipswich - Pld 43 - Pts 89 Leicester - Pld 42 - Pts 88 Leeds - Pld 43 - Pts 87 Southampton - Pld 43 - Pts 87 I believe Leicester's game in...

Re: Blackpool H

Based on my current estimates, we've sold around 11,400 for this. Based on typical trends we're on track for a home turnout of 17,200. With Blackpool increasingly looking like they'll be in the play-off picture come the final day, they may bring more than they otherwise would. Perhaps over 18,000 t...

Re: New owners' top 5 priorities

4) Improve matchday experience Bring back programmes, involve local suppliers, get rid of Compass and their appalling food. Think of initiatives to make matchday more enjoyable and bring fans back. In addition to this point, I'd say basic stadium maintenance should be included in that list. Things ...

Re: £397K on agents fee

So doing the calculations. We spent £17,295 on agent fees this season, which is the third highest per transaction in League One. New signings will probably have the highest agent fees attached to them - so that would be a reason. The mean average in League One was £10,739, with the median at £10,426...

Re: £397K on agents fee

There's a spreadsheet on Twitter somewhere and basically every player move, in & out and loans have an agent's fee, even the likes on Bouzanis going to a L2 side on loan. Even more strange is the list appears to be in chronological order. Bouzanis was initially loaned in the summer, with an ext...

Re: £397K on agents fee

Presumably when Ejaria’s contract was paid up there would also have been an agent’s fee? He's not on the list interestingly, despite appearing to have an agent. The transactions we made were: ⋅ Puscas, George (Permanent transfer out) ⋅ Maragh, Geneiro (New registration) ⋅&n...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

Er... Good question. Closest I can find is 2010/11, but Hunt only got 9 in 4th, so missed it by one goal. Ditto 2009/10 but Long in 4th on 9. It's 2005/6 Kitson 22, Doyle 19, Lita 15, Sidwell 10 Also one goal shy for Taylor in 4th in 94/95. So only second time since at least 1993/94 and the other w...

Re: The Magic Number Thread

From Despair To Where? Burton can catch us.

Yeah.

Both Burton and Cheltenham can catch us.
Both need maximum points.
As they play each other, at least one will drop points.
This means Carlisle; Fleetwood; Port Vale and one of Burton or Cheltenham cannot catch us.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

Barnsley had a strong 2nd half. Pretty even on balance. Looking forward to the highlights. Now that Wing has scored his 10th, do that mean we've had 4 players score over 10 goals in a season? For the first time since..... Snowball or someone, please verify?! 2005-06. Kitson 22 (18 league); Doyle 19...

Snowflake Royal 0 (2).

Vale can no longer catch us. Cheltenham or Burton could, but not both, because they play each other.

This. Just spent about twenty minutes explaining this to someone.

They eventually got why I kept bringing that Cheltenham-Burton game into the equation. :lol:

Re: MATCHWATCH : Barnsley (a)

Looks like Mukairu and Abrefa in for Ehib and Yiadom respectively. No Yids on the bench, but John Ryan appears for the first time. I’m fairly certain he’s a full back, but can’t remember if he’s a left-back or right-back. I think the former. John Ryan has 2 good feet so can play either full back po...
