The one thing i'm clinging to is the form of stevenage, which has coincided with roeder taking over, those players are fighting to impress and keep their jobs for next season.

www.football-league.co.uk/global/playoffrules.aspx50% of play off final revenue is distributed between the two teams so 80k crowd generating approx 2.4m would generate 600k. Add in tv money for all 3 games and merch (which will surely be better than last year's shambles) and you'll be looking at 800k plus. The problem is that the rule before the one you quoted results in the 'revenue' being greatly depleted. The National league rules were not so different and it resulted in a return to the club of less than £1 per fan. A couple of other points. 1. I hope the team are well on their holidays before the play off final because we got promoted automatically. 2. our friends on otib are probably creaming themselves with the arrogance of us talking about the play off final already. Not really arrogance to explore the possibility of play off revenue when we are already in the play offs with a more than reasonable chance of making the final.

I'm getting a little frustrated at the lack of any real news on the stadium. I know this is not politically correct, and everyone will attack me for daring to say it, but way-hay. Press releases and interviews do not build stadiums. Time marches on and we're still at the Mem for a long time to come. I would suggest we are looking at another 3 seasons at the mem, any changes will require new planning permission which will drag on for another 6 months. Any downturn on the field in that time and people will rapidly lose interest. Every bit of news flow we hear is regurgitation.

think we'd be looking at over 80k as both clubs would take at least 40. Could top 1m. I am not inclined to consider the play offs, let alone another Wembley final, but our Devonion frinds might need to be more realistic about potential income. Grimsby reported an income of only £53k after expenses from last year's play off final. www.football-league.co.uk/global/playoffrules.aspx50% of play off final revenue is distributed between the two teams so 80k crowd generating approx 2.4m would generate 600k.

Pressures off us, let's enjoy Saturday, read on the plymuff site they reckon a 70k crowd at Wembley equates to a profit each of 700 k, might be able to get a better santas grotto this year! Football has twists and turns this ain't over by any stretch. think we'd be looking at over 80k as both clubs would take at least 40. Could top 1m.

This bigging up of Portsmouth puzzles me. They beat us at home when we were clearly struggling to come to terms with with L2 ( like Northampton, Oxford & Accy). F or the away game they simply had to get a result to answer pressure from fans. I don't see it'll automatically happen a third time. So do you think there fans won't want them to win at Wembley?? If we get to the final it'll be a different ball game but there's always the worry they've stuffed twice this season which no other Div 2 side, Accy's wins being just 1-0'ers If it is pompey you'd like to think DC would have them sussed this time. Impossible we could play as badly against them again. However wimbledon will be no pushovers.

Although this is almost certainly nonsense, i don't think anyone really knows what sort of deals we'll be doing in the summer. Wael is trying to keep a low profile to avoid being ripped off.

If all seats are renewed, only 3 remain in the Dribuild. What is a nonsense, is that those who have the right to renew can do so well after the cheapest price has gone. It should be a week or fortnight before prices rise. If you wanted to renew surely you'd do it before the prices rise? They should be back on sale to everyone from tomorrow.

According to the online ticket sales terrace sales are up to 3700, would be interesting to get some stats on the seats.

If we go up i imagine we'll sell quite a few more, 300 quid to watch league one is still good value, especially as matchday prices will almost certainly increase.

3385 terrace season tickets had been sold @ 3 pm today according to BRSC with stand tickets now "at a premium". We have around 3000 seats in total so, based on chippenham's figures, 1300 of them are in the Tent. I've no idea how many ST holders there are / will be in the South Stand but the East and West virtually sell out every year. I reckon we should get close to a total of 6000 by the Dagenham match. If we go up this could increase further over the summer. South stand capacity is 900-1000 approx with 200 away seats and another 100 for segregation so will probably only be 4-500 available for season ticket sales. Even with east and west sold out we'd be topping 5000.

The online ticket page figures suggest 3500 terrace tickets sold. No seat figures available though. So I guess we must actually be closer to 5000 than 3000 then. I dont know how many seats are available, but it's probably safe to assume West and East stands are sold out. 1200 in east and 500 in west plus boxes.

I know there are no seats available in east and west and the existing season ticket holders have until 31st May to renew their seat So do existing season ticket holders in the seats have until that date to renew with existing prices or will they have to pay more after tomorrow along with everyone else?

We sold 40k every time we've been apart from last time. Completely different situation this time. No question, we'd sell out easily.

The key phrase used in the post article was 'world class' which leads me to believe the stadium will be bigger than the original 21700 spec. Henbury have you heard anything?!

If wycombe lose their last two games they will have lost 3 on the trot, something they haven't done all season.

Ainsworth has said he wants to finish season strongly and get to 70 points. Looks like they won't be doing a hartlepool.

Think we need to get some perspective here, the last time we got 5 10k plus gates in a season was in 77 and that was in the equivalent of the championship. If we were at uwe now i'm pretty we would have had 14k last week and this week and 20k for dag. There is absolutely no comparison with what we are getting in one of the worst grounds in england and potentially what we'd get in a stadium with top class facilities. Oh and this is division 4!

None now available on the ticketing site so maybe they're all gone. Been people trying to get spares on the appreciation fb page all week so a lot think it's already sold out. Also if it's gonna rain 20 quid to stand on the East Terrace and get watered on is completely unacceptable in 2016. £20 for a lge 2 match on an open terace certainly is wrong. Btw - aren't they taken off sale at 5pm for an AT match?? They were sold up until midnight for yeovil last week.
