Tuchel out Dan Burn. Like look every England squad should be picked on the basis of ‘can this team beat Spain in the Euro 2024 final?’. Dan Burn against someone of Yamal’s quality is laughable. Alongside that considering our opponents, you’d want someone confident and competent in position, he doesn’t fit that. Same applies with Henderson too

The bigger clubs grumbling about touting basically

I don’t but at the moment there’s not awful lot of evidence of the fanbase wanting safe standing en masse. If there was, the club can be taken to task on it and there’s a larger story there for media sources to pick up on as an example of the relationship between LCFC and its fanbase disappearing

Spin slightly the other way, they have no data which tells them people actually want it more than the 4K also places which will be made. That’s the harsh end of it.

The line given by the club is they need to know the demand to really implement it further. There wasn’t great up take on the appointments they did or the survey. There’s scope for it but only if people really want it

I’ll sadly say it before the repeated comments. No idea if the EFL mandatory to do digital tickets but a good number of the clubs in the EFL are already on digital. We are talking from Leeds right down to the likes of Crawley etc use them. So take them as happening regardless of division

Ready to freeze

I think the latter point is very fair. Obviously the trust can’t name individuals unless they are willing to be put on record or they are on record but that the trust state what we’ve brought to the table is a good idea

As per the FAB meeting minutes, it was mentioned and backed by the leader of Foxes Pride. As a member of the Trust board, I tabled the 19 points priority points proposal and asked for it to be mentioned I didn’t agree with the collection policy. Particularly with TV selections and failing public transport options.

How do you know it was the FT? The FT are simply passing on what was discussed

I think that's exactly the point. Back in 1996, you'd have a natural cyclic nature to the supporter base - there was a young core who were vocal. Now they aren't and the younger generation can't get a ticket mostly

It;s still got Vestergaard at the centre of it

Always reminds me how ultras In Italy describe relegations as being purges

The Safety Advisory Groups see the situation as the better of two evils because the other option is fans standing in seating areas without a rail. Ie. the risk of fall is more detrimental than clubs managing accessibility better. Means Stewards cant just stand there like robots and actually assist

I say this has a left leaning person - supportive of the NHS - the amount of organisations within it are absolutely mind-boggling and detrimental to the organisation. Working with them is often a clusterfcuk of 'you need to speak so and soon cos they do that, and then they do that and they do that'. We'd have construction projects where consultation would take forever because they are umpteen organisations, departments and people to go through.

In my experience from a logistical point of view, the cheap rail in front of the seat effectively narrows the row and as seen at Villa Park/Portman Road this season, it becomes an accessibility issue and dangerous. The more expensive, slot/lock seat in situ mean that the row doesn't narrow and people can pass through easier.

Interested to see the take up now its in realisation but I don't think the fanbase have helped themselves by having minimal input into consultation. I understand why people believe the club will ignore etc but they did a survey which had significant numbers supporting it and got louder externally about it. Then you might get the bait of larger media sources using it has an illustration that the club aren't listening to the fanbase. If we'd have been foreright in this is what we want, rail style, size of terracing etc etc.

Serie A bubbling up nicely - title race is getting very interesting and Atalanta getting knocked out of Europe has done them a favour. Meanwhile, Juventus, Lazio and Bologna are going to have a right battle for the Champions League place while Roma lurk. Sunday night Atalanta v Inter!

Survive - they work from season to season. By hook or crook, the whole Man City line is nonsense. Much like fans, it doesn't matter as along as we are winning.

They weren't new fans - they were dormant fans. Where we differ from Coventry was that, we were regularly getting 30k when when first moved into Walkers Stadium and Premier League football was here. As a result those new fans you talk about are not the younger generation which has happened at Coventry for sure.

Yeah ground went numb when Kisnorbo went off injured. Like a balloon popping. Again outside the Great Escape and 15/16 bubble, the best home atmosphere have been occasions which involved a bit freshness to the crowd, hardship, bit of desperation - thinking Rennes at home, Middlesbrough in the snow. I remember a Friday night v Palace in L1 where it was absolutely electric under Rob Kelly.

Because away days for many are like a hobby and routine rather than how they were once. In becoming sterile, it's made it safer and that translates into output. For me our greatest ends recently have often been there's a bit of hardness behind getting there or something might have happened in the build-up. For example, Brugge had a three week turn around from the draw, Randers was a leap of faith where you booked during Omicron to COVID. Some of the better domestics have been the older guard coming out - thinking Norwich away in the cup. Societally, the concourse bounce castle is a real concern - and I find it no surprise in Scotland where there is no alcohol on sale in the concourses, atmospheres are flourishing.

Given it was discussed on a FCC to which they are recorded minutes, I think I am okay in saying it is going to be from the top of the rows working downwards. Basically what they did at Old Trafford - Alan Dawson used to be Man U and that's largely off his bat. Not sure how they dealt with relocations but it will follow a similar pattern.

Got some new wheels - Karhu’s Mestari Run, really comfy this morning
