Even if we were to become a mid table championship team on the regular I bet most of our fanbase would be happy if the football was entertaining enough. |  |

It's crazy how a 14 place finish would be progress now isn't it. [Post edited 10 May 2023 12:06]

I don't think it's progress any more. Without changes I am confident this team is on par with Mick's playoff team. One of the biggest parts of this is we finally have balance on the fullback position. Not often in Evans' tenure can I remember us having a solid LB and RB at the same time. |  |

It's not actually 'progress' it's another step on the way to repairing the damage done by Evans, Hurst and Lambert. |  |

It depends on the context. If you're finishing 14th with next to no reasons to believe you're going to challenge any higher, with a squad of ageing short term deals and loanees and an owner who had checked out and underfunding the club it probably wouldn't be all that palatable. If we finish 14th next season with a young and hungry squad on an evident upward trajectory, and leadership team we believe in it would be a good step towards challenging at the right end of the 2nd tier. |  |

I think we went a decade without a right back once David Wright departed. |  |

A 'transitonal' season of bedding in a evolving the side wouldn't be a disaster. Particularly if we finish above Norwich. |  |

not so sure about that, don't we hold the recent record for most time spent in 2nd tier? |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

And beat them twice in the process. Ideally a 5-0 Town win at Carrow Road in April to send them down. |  |

Made possible by Mick McCarthy having to do whatever necessary to keep us floating - which was essentially really boring football. |  |

IIRC it used to be a ballot of junior blues members. Suspect the club were not expecting the level of interest today and will look at an alternative approach for future seasons. |  | |  |

Agreed. they stopped it pretty quickly. I'm not sure how it was worked last season but is it just a first come first serve basis? I know you could buy packages on the ticket site. |  | |  |

All a PR thing isn’t it. I’m 100% sure that’s not the window for kids to be a mascot for an entire season |  |

Assuming they don't sell so many memberships that they become worthless, there might only be a limited number available. I'm sure they will announce the sale well in advance but just in case, i'm ready to pounce. |  |

It did open up a load of moaning on Facebook on how this should be free of charge. Completely ignoring we are now under FFP and need as much income as we can generate. |  |

It's a good revenue earner and also helps pay the wages of the people who organise it and spend that time on the day. It will probably re-open again later when fixtures and package costs are known. |  | |  |

You get four match tickets and a full replica kit plus lots of other benefits. They alone cover the cost of bring a mascot. |  | |  |

Just the usual moaning Minnies who think everything should be free. Next they'll be moaning that tickets or merchandise isn't free. Dont think they quite appreciate the club is not a charity, its a business! |  | |  |
