  1. I don't think Cadz or Fusire will start with all the airmiles. Unfortunately we are stuck with another anonymous J-Lowe / Ugbo partnership.....
  2. Great to see some bobble hats for sale on the coldest weekend of the year. We are used to hats and scarves being out of stock until the heatwaves in May.
  3. Great to hear the real story. Seemed a really good bloke as well as a brilliant player but took an unwarranted pasting from sections of the fanbase for leaving, when in reality it was another DC special.
  4. This is where new owners will need to come up with some initiatives to get people in the ground. Schoolkids / Sheffield Uni / Hallam Uni students specifically who have not yet been converted to blue and white but are there for the taking. Currently you need a purchase history to buy - probably cost us a total sell-out for this game - but also probably understandable they didn't have much time considering the security aspect.
  5. Agree with all this. I'd be embarrassed to have him representing my club. He blatantly lies, totally without any class, only treats his mates in the media with any politeness whatsoever. I actually think he privately suffers from imposter syndorme (rightly so) - hence his "eatin a sanwedge while talkin to a Premieh League manageh" rant - and knows this is the only job he can get.
  6. Memberships, season tickets, half season tickets, match bundles and ability to buy individual match tickets are perfectly reasonable choices in my opinion. The club can't offer a tailored package to every set of circumstances.
  7. Charles Valery Dish McGuinness Lowe Marv Windass Baz Shea Gassama Smith
  8. Important difference between cult hero and club legend imo
  9. Our fans probably don't want to hear it but next year isn't about promotion it's about being competitive in League 1 and stabilising off the pitch. Then building ready for a promotion push in 27/28 season. The amount of under the bonnet damage done to this club means 18-24 months just to get back on an even keel.
  10. We've got Baz and Svante. That's it. No workload management or rotation possible. Desperately need Chalobah back but history says it's doubtful he'll then be injury free for the rest of the season. Valery is playing really well as cover but is a defender and will be missing for AFCON (potentially missing 8 league + cup games) and will be targeted in the January transfer window. You look at Coventry offloading a player as good as Ben Sheaf to Wrexham because they're loaded with Victor Torp, Matt Grimes, Rudoni, Eccles and Sakamoto as well. Really highlights what a massive mess we have been left with.
  11. Good summary from Jordan. He does speak accurately on our situation unlike lots of uninformed generalised comments by the media. I am hopeful that the EFL would look at our specific circumstances and not insist on further points deductions if Chansiri didn't get paid - it is absolutely ludicrous that new owners should be penalised for not paying a previous owner who was responsible for the whole mess.
  12. I think they have Goose Creative doing it. If you haven't seen it check out his presentation on our owl branding - it's brilliant and shows the potential now the club is hopefully being dragged into the modern world.
  13. I just don't know why J-Lowe would run towards traffic (keeper and defender) instead of pulling towards the back post and giving himself more than a millisecond to realise he had the chance. Strikers instinct.
  14. Another simple but effective move by the administrators - allowing non member/ foundation fans who have attended matches to buy tickets ahead of general sale. This is exactly how TPP should be utilised Friday 7th November 9am: Supporters with 50 or more Ticket Priority Points Friday 7th November 2pm: Supporters with 40 or more Ticket Priority Points Monday 10th November 9am: Supporters with 30 or more Ticket Priority Points Monday 10th November 2pm: Supporters with 20 or more Ticket Priority Points
