I do understand that theory, but you have to draw the lie somewhere. I could afford to go to Wednesday (as you say, I pay more in travel to many more games) but I won't be ripped off by some foreign merchant trying to rip off the working man so he can experiment with his toy in a chase for the...

I think £30 is my upper limit. Felt annoyed paying that at Norwich and I think yourselves last season? Cannot justify £36 for second tier football, local derby or not.

Ours is a lot poorer than last season. Other than the obvious factors (we're absolutely horrendous away; P12 W2 D1 L9 and it's our second season here so not many 'new' grounds), we've been a little unlucky as of those 12 games, 5 have been weeknights and 2 of those were Brighton and Boro which...

When we were last in the Championship, the season 2002/03 we were doing ok (finished 15th after going on a bad run having been 6th in March). We were horrible to play against. Big, talented, direct, hard and with an enviable team spirit. The Stoke (under Pulis) of our time, if you will. The...

Is that not a poor following from Derby? Yes, I know it's extortionate and I know it was a Sunday midday game on tv, but 1,600? If you're going to boast about getting 30,000 every week (which was sung to Millers fans during their recent visit to Foam Finger Park) then be prepared to be shot at...

Definitely Spurs, they'd sellout up and down the country. Possibles include Villa, Arsenal and Newcastle.

Oh I take it back then. I thought that stand at Burnley held like 6 or 7 thousand.

Great following from Hull (if they charged the same prices vs us and Wednesday), shocking turnout from Preston. Always surprised Wolves struggle to sell-out up here. It's not too far and they're a big club. Strange.

Story's creeking already with a gentle nudge...

How far is Cardiff from Bristol?

It is a poor attendance, granted, but following our run of defeats, the price, the weather and that no-one wanted to see Evans celebrating in our faces (which is what put me off more than the price) makes it understandable. We took 2,600 there last season in a dead rubber so it's not like we...

I'm not bothered about stuff like this, but to call our attendance poor when it was £40 pay on the day, one of the coldest days going and we're rock bottom and have been utterly dire all season is way off the mark. To then find out the offender is a Crewe fan; a club that can barely muster a...

Well done to those 314. At those prices, that distance, Friday night on live television with nothing to shout for all season, I wouldn't go. Must be down to the real core for owt like that.

Derby stinks of trying too hard. Like Palace and Accrington and Leicester, they see something happening in Europe and try and replicate it over here. I always think that's a bad thing, as we invented terrace culture and now we're the ones copying. I couldn't argue that the noise levels are good...

Was surprised at Brentford that the pub with the Irish security guy had San Miguel at £4.20 a pint. It's about £4 in most places in the country so was delighted. Drank at plenty of places in London. Outside of the trendier places, plenty of pubs are less than £4 a pint. Personally I'd prefer to...

Not sure what the thread originator is looking for, so I'll give two answers. Best away day all things considered (location, boozers, hostility and ground) 1) Huddersfield 2) Forest 3) Brentford Best ground in isolation 1) Forest 2) Derby 3) Preston These are only of the ones I've been to...

I see what you mean, but its not always that simple. Look how he did at Leeds. It has to be the right fit. Ronnie Moore was great for us the first time round, and we expected him to take us back again. He came close, but he failed with what was a good League 1 squad with the likes of Le...

I think you've interpreted my post differently than the sentiment I was trying to present. I, like you, stated I'd rather go down than try and spend our way into the promised land only to fall back flat on our face (again). I don't think your point on Sky money is too relevant, as the money...

Looks a good story. I know a few lads that went to watch it at the City Ground last night. I enjoyed 'The Damned United' film, and assume I'd enjoy this too. I'm not sure people comparing it to Rotherham reaching the Champions League is accurate, though. For a start, money wasn't what it is in...

Beaufighter, I agree with most of your sentiment, but Stewart knew what he was getting with Evans (or at least you'd like to think so). If, as the accounts suggest we've two divisions higher on a reasonable budget, then even taking into account the innumerate pay-offs, it's turned out to be a...
