It's a great shame that people in their mid-20s who weren't able to go as children (parents weren't interested or couldn't afford it) are still frozen out of going every week. Expansion needs to be asap or that generation will become casual fans of the big-6. The cost of membership is outrageous when it just gives you the opportunity to buy tickets at roughly double the season ticket price.

I wish they'd filmed the meeting about plans for the Hundred. "So apart from T20 with 1 less ball per over, what have we got?".... "what about retina damaging graphics?".

The idea that you can stay up with 29 points is absolute madness!

I'm not sure play-offs are always turgid, there have been a lot of amazing games over the years, our second legs against Cambridge, Portsmouth, Cardiff and Watford and finals against Swindon (particularly), Derby and Palace were definitely not examples of fear football. Along with our Swindon final, Bolton vs Reading and Charlton vs Sunderland were 3 of the most captivating games ever played at Wembley.

It was Poole, pulled off a blinding save from a point blank header amongst others.

Why are play-off 1st legs so cagey? The 6 we've been in have had 5 first leg goals and 22 in 2nd legs.

For differing reasons none of them. Vardy maybe but he'll be big money and 2 years older than the player that got 3 goals in his last Prem season.

Sorry, I completely missed the news that Everton were on the brink of administration. 🙈 I've seen a few on here suggest it as a way out of a PSR punishment for us and now I've made a right knob of myself.

They'll still get the points deduction next season, it's 2 separate offences.

How will that help? Getting a points deduction for going into administration won't negate another for breaching PSR, they'd have to make redundancies, strip back non-essential spending and won't be able to make signings in the summer or renew contracts. Edit: and players would be sold to the highest bidder regardless of their market value.

Understandable that it wasn't buzzing but the OP is describing a morgue.

I assume it would have to be based on the previous season's positions? How could they compile the fixture list otherwise? Is the suggestion all these games are played in 1 match week? The more answers I get the more questions I have.

Even that would give an advantage when teams dramatically improve or deteriorate. Spurs fans would have lost their minds in 2016 (ok so they did but it would have been worse).

Not to my knowledge, the only way I think it could work is if it were 2 games per club in the US against the same team. There are problems with this too though as in order for the games to be additional you need an extra 2 clubs and then you're back to a 42 game season.

Imagine getting relegated because your 39th game was against Man City and the team above you played Luton.

Just a bit, it surely can't be that big a problem. Do touts really buy season tickets and if an individual does sell their ticket to a couple of games does it matter?

This has probably been said/asked before but is the clubs motivation to ensure it's the ticket holder who is getting in and resells go through the club?

Sign of those times I think, Izzet's in '96 was about the same size as Bob Hazel's in '84.

The sense of entitlement in the audio is alarming.

Definitely, she wouldn't have been recording if it was the first time.

Great shirt, mad season.

You jest but if we were in the top 4 for most of the season and dropped off in April this would be the reality 😉

I'm trying not to sound sarcastic here but are you saying that in order for him to be effective we need to ask the opposition to slow down a bit?

I think that top was to garner fan support to put pressure on Rudkin for a new contract. I suspect Kel's agent isn't particularly busy answering calls about him.

They wouldn't have done if they hadn't gone on that astonishing run, picking up 7 points in only 6 games.
