I did some research today Of the clubs assured to be League 1 (15 teams), 9 have declared their season ticket prices for 26/27 On the cheapest available tickets at renewal rate 1. Huddersfield £249 2. Doncaster £290 3. Wigan £350 .... 7. Leicester £404 (we are £40 more expensive than the average) 8. AFC Wimbledon £444 9. MK Dons £445 On the expensive category 1. Leicester £730 (we are a whopping £240 more expensive than the average) 2. AFC Wimbledon £659 3. Barnsley £489

Got to be the McCarron influence hasn’t it? Complete change of tact

Quorn’s decent to be fair. Terracing on one side, good seats on the other, clubhouse in situ

There’s another rule about having a ground share agreement signed by a certain date. I can’t stress enough how shit of a ground it is

It was Quorn

Asian business is reputation. So I suspect he is. He’s already messed up one deal for King Power. Keeps messing up and the Thai government won’t be so supportive of everything. They don’t want their country to look bad. Chansiri at Wednesday ran out of money because the family cut him off. And then everything began to snowball from there

I just don’t see how a succession club isn’t a continuation as per what’s happened with Rangers and AFC Wimbledon. The clubs have assumed the history as the right for continuation. This has happened repeatedly within English football with examples such as Leeds City and Middlesbrough

What’s to say the same sort of delay which occurred in March doesn’t occur in July? Every club has to play by the same rules on this one. Clubs get a years grace to improve their facilities. A lot of clubs when having a decent season are probably already at it March before promotion may have occurred. The FA grants an extension, then they have to start doing it for everyone. Equally the league’s integrity is jeopardised by the suggestion that Portishead budget was heavily weighted towards players rather than facilities.

A Phoenix club is a succession of the previous club. Rangers, Bury and AFC Wimbledon all adopt the histories of their previous club. FC United is a protest club. They’ve actually been in non league step 2 and got their own ground. I’d suggest that with crowds of 4K and a number of community schemes is actually very impressive. I also don’t think they too fussed going much further as they don’t want the effects of TV coverage and professionalism.

Rangers, AFC Wimbledon and Bury would disagree for example

To be honest having been to the ground and watch them play. Quite clearly prioritised players over ground improvements. There is no connecting changing rooms, you have to work over another pitch to get to the main pitch which is a glorified 4G court. There is no turnstile. There is barely any terracing

He might not. But when the media do and he feels like a doughnut back home because he’s ruining his country’s reputation

He most certainly is (sorry God, please don't strike me down)

And his time at Stoke (a club with similar situation to ourselves?) and his mental breakdown?

Quorn are against the tide. Shepshed I'd say have overachieved this season. Think the money has ran out at Aylestone too.

Hence I've bit my lip a lot with the Harborough stuff. Anstey are not far behind.

It's incredible how people have long memories where they want and short memories where they want. Succession phoenix clubs occur because simply the club has normally disappeared and there is a natural succession. Any movement to create a second club now would be a split - you'd have the directors of LCFC with those who can't stand the thought of pulling themselves away from it and then those fans what believe a football clubs is a community (this is very sadly a dying minority). I've racked my brains hard and long where the split originates in LCFC fans and I think I cracked it. The split is defined by those what think a football clubs is a community & everything has got lost in the modern era v those that are happy with the status quo of what football has become. The trophies won give the latter justification to be that way which is at odds with their earlier life. The game changed, they changed and they wouldn't want to admit they actually prefer it now. These scenes of toxicity are throughout LCFC and football's history. The boos and dis-satisfaction is football. It's just not the newly packaged, squeeze clean. We are going to be the first club of many where by the new style fan outweighs the old style fan. Thatchers legacy finally fully flooded football clubs.

In some ways having Leeds in L1 with us last time helped with this.

Brother, a man after my own heart

Some incredible efforts from City fans I know @Ric Flair crept in under 4 hours with an incredible last kilometre effort

Just under 4 hours

Having done them all, some as neutral. There isn’t a single one I look at and think that will be a good day out other then Orient and Wimbledon. Possibly Cambridge if they come up. Bradford be decent as it will be a full crowd. Some awful towns/cities to visit such as Stevenage, Luton and Doncaster. A fair few boring modern stadiums away from the town/city Bolton, Reading and MK Dons. Those with a little intrigue have small allocations such as Bromley (400) and Wimbledon (800). I am in a mood with it all but I don’t think it’s a good thing. Mansfield for a Derby ffs, first time since 1894 we’ve played them in the league. I’ll highlight again what a boring shithole Stevenage is as well

Very unlikely I’d imagine, outside of grounds like Bolton, Huddersfield, Wigan, Notts County, Bradford. Bromley is just 400 for example

It’s already here. Job losses likely and two loans being charged at the rate of 8% and 7%

What’s your plan out of interest? I ask because I’d say there is three distinct areas you’d drink in. Free Trade Inn is one of the best pubs in the country but it’s in Ouseburn which is a good twenty to thirty minutes out of the city centre
