Who gives a feck. These rules are destroying the competitiveness of the game. They are absolutely fine if/when they cap the rich teams from spending so much, it should be within a reasonable percentage of an average permitted spend. Affordability rules do not equate to fairness, not even in the slightest. It's time the big 6 feck off to their super shiny shit league and give the rest of us our football back!! What I don't understand is why the lesser clubs support it, when it's just allowing the rich to get richer, no matter how crap they are.

Seems like a careless player to me, often loses possession and maybe just isn't mustard enough for the intensity of this league. Probably ok in the lower leagues or some European teams. Has plenty of pot shots but only occasionally do they end up the right side of the sticks. Not our worst player by any stretch but also has a lot to prove still, maybe he can do something in the championship, if he still around. Wouldn't begrudge him that opportunity.

Was this the survey that only catered for negative responses? If so no wonder such a high percentage against digital tickets was recorded. It was probably the worst set of survey questions I've ever seen, completely biased to one side. Not objective at all, a few questions asking why you hated digital ticketing "Our survey completed from people that dislike digital ticketing found that 85% of them actually dislike them...." ;-p

Nah, our despondency is nothing to do with entitlement or expectation. Rather a decline that has come about equally as fast as our rise did. You might be thinking we're back to where we were around 2010 but even that is looking at things half glass full. In our past we weren't saddled with some of the best payed players ever to be part of the club, performing at the top level in record breaking badness. It's difficult to see where we go from here, it really is incompetence of the highest order and puts our club at the very brink of even being able to survive. If being better than that is expectancy or entitlement, so be it. But I expect a club being run well for the good of it's supporters, with players giving their all, above all else. And what we've amassed is a bunch of terribly average players, on the whole, who couldn't give a toss and happy to wind down their careers on a massive wage. On top of that, the leagues continue to hunt us down, whether it's premier or football league. Cos we represented a threat to their established order. Time to find a second a team, if you don't have one, as our future is very bleak (as might be football in general, but that's another story). The big boom is coming, I'm sure of it. Half of all fans think premier league football is boring, with the anti competitive nature only set to get worse, the future ain't looking bright.

A simple solution to get compliant in times like these would be to make players redundant like most other industries would do to their employees if they were struggling financially. One of the biggest issues is we're saddled with players earning huge wages, that we have no way of moving on, which makes it very difficult to do anything in retrospect about psr. So if we could get rid of some of them by paying legal redundancy, the problem goes away. It might also help to motivate a few to do more than they have been doing too. But it's just another perk in the life a top level pro footballer I guess, they can sit on their arses and contribute to a clubs decline without any penalty at all.

Wasn't sure whether to renew, and didn't in the end. I'll still be going as a member, but at least if things are as toxic as this year I can stay at home and do something more enjoyable like give the cat tray a good clean and get those crusty dry splats off once and for all.

Will be interesting to see... And how many of those become empty seats when we tank in the championship, realising the resell is useless as nobody will want to buy them. If that happens, I doubt we'll sell all of them at the end of next year, even if we somehow do this year.

Well I held my nerve and didn't renew. I'll go to a lot less games but will get a membership instead. At least I'll make good use of sky sports as well now. Maybe we need a final did you renew or not topic creating, to see how it looks now all is said and done. I'll find I was probably the only one not to renew in the end. ;-/

I can tell you now, the fanbase will start to shrink, if it hasn't already. For instance, the youngsters coming through just starting to get into football, will probably want to give supporting lcfc a miss, as it'll just cause them embarrassment. Then add to that the insane match day costs especially for families, there needs to be a big price reduction on match day ticket costs next year. Those of a certain age will remember struggling to anywhere near fill filbert street, I remember a time we could hardly muster 10k for many games. And that was when it was affordable to many more people. Year on year of stagnation and regression at the club eventually takes it toll in terms of support. As others say, it can already be seen with the struggle to fill the stadium now. Wasn't long ago they were turning their noses up at putting anything on general sale, now virtually every game makes it to general sale. Many away tickets are available to members, even after slashing the numbers available. If we have a average or bad year in the championship, it isn't going to get better anytime soon.

Like we did for Forest that time, as soon as we have the ball (hopefully from the kick off so it's still 0-0, any later and we'll probably be 1 down anyway) we need to go down our half and score them a goal. Just so the players know what it feels like again for a ball to hit the back of the net from their own shot. Unfortunately you'll know it'll be down to daka to do the honours, he'll trip over his laces and the ball will go 60 yards backwards. Just like normal.

Monday is bring a tomato to football day, it's confirmed. If you can't do that, please just come dressed as a clown.

Is it legal to take a tomato into a football ground? If so, I recommended we all bring one on Monday.

I've gone from wanting a goal, to a shot on target, to a shot off target, a corner, a free kick, and now, a touch in the opposition box. It doesn't get anymore miserable supporting a football team than that. What a joke our club is.

Too right, leave the crisps out of it. Crisp munching, beer guzzling, potty mouthed over the hill old gits like me, are not the problem here. Now those that come with a packed lunch from m&s, that's a different story.... That I can get on board with. :-)

It's an odd survey, it should be a survey for only those season ticket holders who oppose digital tickets and/or have an issue with them. Question number 2 in particular doesn't allow for anything other than a negative response..... So I can't complete the rest as none of question 2 responses are applicable to me. I'm not renewing, but it's nothing to do with digital tickets.
