The club's probably waiting to ensure we're definitely a L1 side next season before spending money submitting the plans on the planning portal? Maybe it’s different for commercial but it’s like £250. I sincerely hope we’re not that stingy when it comes to something important like this. Peanuts in the scheme of things.

I'd hope they have exemptions for this. I've missed a few games this season where I have got near the ground but had to turn back at the last minute due to health on the day. Just waiting for the club to get back to me on changing east terrace to east seating ST. Q & A's didn't cover this You'd like to think that they would make an exemption for certain conditions. You have up until 10 a.m. on the day of the game to list your ticket, however, in my own case, I am planning to go but am sometimes unable to get myself out of the house at departure time, due to anxiety issues. I think that I'd be a definite red card. I can't see Rovers being quiet as cut throat as Brentford regarding having to sell your Season Ticket if you can't make the match

It doesn’t really make much difference where we finish as long as we stay up. Then, it’s a case of learning lessons in regards to recruitment and how we set up. If we do, then we already know we can be competitive in this division from that great spell before Christmas. There will always be bumps in the road but there is a lot about this football club which is in good shape at the moment. Mostly agree, I would caveat that though by saying momentum going into the close season is important both from a retention and recruitment point of view as it can show intent for the new season. It also gets fans excited, helping to boost season ticket sales and a wider recognition across the board. Agreed, but sometimes our recruitments have been disappointing. Who found and took on Pitman? Is Marquis worth the wages? Could go on but it's an area we could do better with (putting aside Anderson etc). I guess budgets and who wants to actually relocate to Bristol come into as well.

Would you not rather be at the game though? Not being your advanced age HG, my West Enclosure ticket works out at £14.74 per game. I usually miss 3 or 4, so even at 19 games, that's still less than £18 per game. Happy with that personally. Hi Grant, i will be getting a season ticket but for some people the ifollow is a good option i will miss a few home games so make take advantage of the ticket exchange system however that works... Sadly my health is not as good these days so standing for many hours is getting very problematical at best ! It's just any excuse to sit down with you isn't it.

Erk, these season ticket renewals seem to come round quicker every year...! Last year it was 2nd week of April.

Brentford operate the ticket exchange system, they are making changes next season. If you can't attend a game, and don't list your ticket on the exchange, or give it to a fellow supporter to use, you will be issued with a yellow card. 4 yellow cards in a season and you lose the right to renew for the following season. They obviously have a high demand for seats, so I suppose it makes sense to try and make sure that every seat is used. Villa do Ticket Exchange as well.

Not even a day in the pub. The White Hart on East Street (by me) does Doom Bar for £2 a pint HOWEVER you have to spend a day in the fog of beer farts and trying to figure out which one of the locals is going to get punchy later on Doom Bar? Punchy arse smelling locals? I can get that at home. On my own.

We're great aren't we eh? I'm thinking of starting a rumour, about something, anything, and see how it travels. Absolutely anything will fly on those FB pages, fill yer boots! Fruit Market? Been done. Barton off? Been done. Wael selling up? Been done. Going to have to go dark.

Meltdown? Imagine if it was announced our home kit didn't have the quarters. I’m still reeling from that episode the other year, when the club ran with the pre release Tagline “No Quarter Given” and the hoards of Gasheads on those Facebook fan pages lost their minds convinced we had binned the famous blue & white design🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Some geniuses in our fanbase I tell ya! We're great aren't we eh? I'm thinking of starting a rumour, about something, anything, and see how it travels.

Or is it because of the big cup game so may give a big sales boost? That would be even worse. Wether it’s a one off🤮or two home shirts in a single season for 50 quid a pop, shot in the eye for those that bought the Arsenal looking thing back in the summer. Would be some meltdown on here if we tried that trick, I know Meltdown? Imagine if it was announced our home kit didn't have the quarters.

I'd have been happy with 20th or above at the start of the season and I'd still settle for any finish that means we're still in L1 next season. However, to finish 15-20th having been 8th with 20 games left to play, would be a little disappointing. It would also be a worrying decline and raise serious doubts about our chances next season, particularly as we're likely to lose Collins. We would have almost certainly been relegated this season without him. So yes, I'd be happy with 15th, but if we've struggled to stay up with arguably the best striker in L1, where will we be without him. Serious rebuild needed in the summer. Happy to stay up.

I expect the players have had a salary increase, to help with the cost of living! I expect they're on contracts that doesn't allow for that.

Probably 10% inflation I guess. Paid £170 last time. New price is £199. That's more than 10%.Closer to 20% than 10. Seems that the club are extracting the wee wee. New South Stand. Someone's got to pay for it.

Newly promoted with some big hitting clubs in Lg1, Wednesday, Ipswich, Plymouth, Bolton, Barnsley, Derby, I'd take 20th right now and just stay up.

If sponsors are the issue, I just don't get why we can't make two versions of the famous blue and white....one home sponsor for home matches, one away sponsor for away matches to wear them when colours don't clash!? It would cost little and help promote our blue and white quarter iniquity continuity. Simples! Who sponsors the clashing away shirts?

Post by baggins on Feb 27, 2023 13:39:49 GMT
We should play away in blue and white as far as possible. The away kit should actually be a change kit, ie only change when there is a colour clash Isn't there something odd about us doing that, sponsors?
