Is this going to be shown to on Town TV? No information I’ve seen so far, and if not then I’m not sure what the point of paying for a Town TV subscription is.
Loved Flynn Downes when he was here, also big fan of Ben Sheaf, but British players cost a fortune. My brother is a ST holder at FC Basel, and they have a young defensive midfielder by the name of Renato Veiga. He is only 20, but captains Portugal U20s, tall, great tackler, box to box, a few rough edges. How good would he be with some McKenna coaching? Transfermarkt says E3M, but would probably be closer to E10M, but still cheaper and at 20 has bags more potential. Let him learn from Sam and Mass.
Last season I carried over 14 away points. Despite having a SB membership, all the away games I could get to (due to work/family commitments) were sold out and I found myself continually behind the curve of not quite having enough points to be able to get tickets. I know there are many like me, who always found the away games sold out just ahead of them. In the end, I only made it to one away League game despite trying to get tickets for loads more. If the club wants to sell SB memberships, this season it just isn't a viable option for people like me - every match will go to those who were in the higher points bubbles. As most teams in the Prem only allocate 3,000 tickets, that means that if you are not in the 3,000 or so (maybe 4,000) fans with the highest points carried over form 23/24, there is simply no point in buying a SB membership. Unless that is, there is a ballot introduced. I have no problem at all with the most loyal fans continuing to get the first 2,000 or so tickets. But thousands of fans caught in the void where they don't quite have enough points, and can't get any more points, and will be unable to get to any away games at all. Unless a portion of the tickets, maybe 500-1,000, are made available via a ballot to the other SB members. If there is a ballot for some tickets at each game, then it becomes worthwhile purchasing SB memberships again. If they don't, there is no point for anyone who doesn't fall into the top 4,000 of SB points holders (guessing this is 20+ points, maybe 25) in purchasing a membership.
I guess some junior official is tasked today with laying out 760 little squares of paper, having snipped them all up, and trying to arrange them with the dates for the fixtures. Probably stopping for a slice of toast around 11 am, getting butter on the ends of his/her fingers and getting some of the squares stuck together. Or a tea lady opens the door and a draft blows half the squares across the room. Tough job.
