    I think there’s a bug with these seats. If you select one ticket, all 8 get added to your account.

     

    One of my mates is looking for a ticket. He can collect from London or the ground. If anyone has one going, a PM would be greatly appreciated.

    I have one.

    Taking my lads to their first proper away match for this one. 

     

    Been many years since I went to an away so I have a possible stupid question - the tickets obviously have an allocated "seat" but does this mean anything in practice?

     

    Should I try to stand in my allocated spot or is it more of a everyone just finds their own place?

     

    Also anyone got tips on parking nearby (or even a bit further out if it facilities a smoother getaway)

    Try Crystal Peaks shopping centre, off junction 31, and then take the tram into Granville Road. Takes about 20 mins to get in but easier than trying to park.

    Usually when a team get relegated we hear about the collateral damage of back office/off-pitch job roles being made redundant but I haven’t heard anything on this so far this time around.


    Have there been any? Does anyone know?

     

    A couple of things made me think about this. Firstly, I read some quotes from Darragh MacAnthony (Peterborough chairman) about how impressed he was with the training ground when they played us the other day and he mentioned that we have 55 ground staff. Secondly, I watched the Northampton friendly on LCFC TV and they had a presenter, a commentator and two pundits (Matt Elliott and Matty Fryatt).

     

    Both things feel like a Premier League operation still in cost. That training ground and 55 ground staff can’t be sustainable in The Championship and having 4 salaries for a friendly watched by about 10,000 viewers seemed overkill.

     

    So what’s the plan? To maintain everything as it was in the Premier League and hope it’s just a one-year hiatus or are those in charge making the difficult decisions that usually have to come after a relegation?

    The number of people employed as groundsmen may be misleading, they run a Sports Turf Institute and Apprenticeship scheme that services grassroots clubs for a fee, very good as well.
