Cool your jets Mr Walton, you’ll get the keys in the New Year!!

Here’s hoping you and your pals get to see at least a decade of Wednesday in the Premier League.

The Government have commited to £2b for transport for the project seemingly... whether that happens is anyone's guess, but The Blues owners seem very capable of putting pressure on the Government (pushing H2S deadlines at them).

It's also based on front loading, meaning we've operated all this season so far with 2025/26 season ticket money gone before a ball was even kicked! Usually, that would be in the coffers for the months leading through this season to part pay monthly bills.

Big club with big scale neglected for the best part of 30 years and as a result is available for a song will cost a lot of money to see a massive return on investment, shock horror. A club with a huge following and still one of the most successful clubs in the history of English football has high expectations (a properly run club with facilities for 21st century football looking to get back to the Premier League = high expectations?!), shock horror. Not the greatest first impression.

Have to agree with this bit. A derby is between two clubs in the same city, not big local games hyped up by Sky since the 1990's. Sunderland vs Newcastle, Derby vs Forest, Leciester vs Coventry, Swansea vs Cardiff, etc - not derbies. It is though - not many folk clearly fancy sitting below United fans. If the West Stand Lower could accommodate 2,300 Blades, we'd sell out the top tier for this game, no bother.

Oh, and we are 900 from selling out with 4 days to go. It's all a bit dramatic this!

All other big derbies are in the top tier and probably have better segregation that we do.

Steady on, hopefully we'll be taking their Championship place come May 2027!

I'll be boarding a Glasgow to London train at 11:55am on Sunday, and I'm currently planning how on earth I can stream the game with on-board wifi without a loss of signal every 2mins. Sitting on the West Stand Lower with coins lobbed at my head and being spat at would be a luxury in comparison!

IIRC, the new stadium got them into the spiral of debt, so it was a mechanism to carry on. They got promoted to the Premier League the same season too I think - at the expense of Sheffield United!!

Nah, Leicester cleared all their debts, ended up with their new stadium on the cheap, avoided a points deduction, and got promoted to the Premier League.

Aye, obtaining personal details in that manner would surely have got them into bother. IIRC club money was allegedly used too, and at a time when we were getting "loans" for cheap players?

Hopefully. Really like him, but a good fee in January rewards his excellent form for us, he's too good for League One (and at an age he shouldn't be there), and it shows the new owners have the right plan of selling when a players value is likely at its highest for us. £2.5-3.5m would give us a solid transfer budget for rebuilding in League One.

Wowzers! Horrible behaviour. Glad those days are long gone, probably worse - on a personal level for fans - than anything the last custodian did.

He went to the Boro game? Scab!

Think this has been corrected in the past - we effectively took on the remainder of his contract to 2016 (he'd signed a 3-year contract with Palace in 2013).

Barry Bannan.

New one on me that, thanks!

Don't say you can't get top qualty work from Owlstalk!

This. Can't even keep his powder dry just in case it goes t*ts up for his own team, which it inevitably does, making him look an even bigger numpty!

That's just in their DNA to be fair. Envy, it's an horrible thing.

Not even after the court papers dropped?! Anyway, it was said in jest - wouldn't want such a dispicable act upon our fans for daring to voice an opinion (or saloon bar ramblings I believe it was regarded as?!).

It's not even about that for me, season is written off. It's about having a squad with enough depth to the point we don't need to put players health at risk by having no choice but to play them regardless of fitness levels.

Don't get to many away games these days, but used to be the norm for local/big games. If that's now the case, police can escourt United fans to the Middlewood Road stop and have Wednesday supporters leave via the South Stand bridge and Herries Road. Have a couple of trams there waiting, United fans only non-stop to the University/West Street. It really doesn't need to be so difficult dealing with 2,000 supporters.
