Kieran Maguire’s take on the accounts. Slightly more positive than I’d expected, if I’m honest…

Each to his own Awaywego. You’ll be telling me you enjoy listening to Billy the Trumpeter (Barmy Army cricket) playing the same three tunes badly for five days in a row next.

I’m of the opinion that they needed to go up this much, the last owner really screwed the business over with stupid pricing
Agreed. Season Tickets have been joke pricing (in fans’ favour) for the last few years.
Hard to make fair comparisons when our position has changed, but my season ticket for 2015-6 in the West Stand cost £360. I think it cost the same for a few seasons before that too but can’t find evidence of that.
Even allowing for the fact that we’ll be two divisions (hopefully one) below the division we were in then, the fact that an increase that some folk are complaining about doesn’t take us back to the prices of 11(+?) seasons ago suggests that the point above is correct.
For comparison, a mate’s renewal price for Rotherham in a similar seat in League One (as we were in 2015-16) cost him £485 this year (£535 for new ticket holders). However, his ticket next year will be cheaper than mine as they still operate senior tickets at 60+, which seems generous nowadays.

A quick Google search suggests that FC100000 was such a cracking idea that no club ever got involved, founder Will Brooks has resigned from the company and a month ago the First Gazette notice for voluntary strike off was published, suggesting the company will cease to exist in a month or so’s time.
And still it’s easy to get the impression that some board members resent the ‘interference’ that effectively blocked their plans.

This is the link. I mistakenly listened to it having not read the advance warning here..

If all games kicked off at 3pm on a Saturday no one would get revved up.
TV money more important obviously.
I think you might be surprised in the next few years – Ramadan typically moves forward approximately ten days in the calendar each year (starts 8th Feb next year), so stoppages in 3pm fixtures will be increasingly likely.
The less tolerant will presumably get extremely wound up, despite probably somehow managing to cope with fake injuries to goalkeepers to allow players to have a drink.

The 1996 edition of Inglis’ book says that the £45000 expenditure raised the capacity to 10000, “but a further £300000 worth of work was still needed”. The 6096 figure isn’t mentioned in this edition of the book.

No respect yesterday when a fan died at the Leeds man u game was the game wasn’t called off I wonder why, wouldn’t be because Sky were televising the game would it.
Apologies for pedantry, but Leeds v Man U was broadcast by TNT.
Sky did, however, broadcast the Fulham v Liverpool game, which was delayed for a similar incident, despite your misgivings about their influence on the game.

Is there even a hint of praise in that paragraph? I read it as:
“I suppose it would be rude if I didn’t mention Matt, despite him lumbering us with contracts over at least two more years whose terms I’m not happy with. Hopefully, remaining staff will be able to squeeze some sort of value from them until such time as we can negotiate better deals elsewhere.”
