Thread | What “Rules” does the fixture super computer have?
at 10:41 23 Apr 2025
Looking way ahead to the championship fixtures, does anyone know the rules / conditions that get applied when fixtures are generated?
Some logical ones seem to be….
- Boxing Day - Usually fairly local games but not local rivals (Due to travel and policing). We often seem to have people like Watford, QPR, Arsenal etc.
- Newly promoted sides avoid each other for opening games, newly relegated avoid each other too
- Fixtures start repeating from about January onwards, matches are in similar order once they are replayed but never the exact same
- Seem to remember there being a week fairly early in the new year, when all fixtures are repeated from around three weeks prior - not sure if that still happens though
- Local rivals tend to avoid playing at home on the same day, albeit slightly more relaxed here than in previous years |

Thread | Does the delap fee / margin mean we’ll be forced into other sales?
at 08:34 10 Apr 2025
Forgive me as not hugely up to speed on how the PSR regulations work… but after last summers outlay, will we have to sell before we can buy this summer?
If so… who do we think?
- Omari? Someone like Bournemouth May fancy him for £25m or so
- Muric - probably try and claw back 4m or so from him
- Leif - if Leeds go up I think they’ll go back for him even though he hasn’t se things alight this season. Probably 12-15m now
- AAH - Probably do well to break even on him at about 2m |

Thread | Any guesses on Wardley attendance at PR?
at 23:07 8 Apr 2025
Had a Quick Look earlier and seems like big parts of the stadium not on sale yet (as assuming they haven’t sold out already). Also noticed they’ve lifted the limit on how many tickets ST holders can buy and opened ups. Family section. Makes me think that they aren’t selling like hot cakes?
I know it’s not related, but I wonder if more tickets would’ve been sold if we were more successf in the field this season? |

Thread | Screw the doom and gloom. Things to LOOK FORWARD to about the championship…
at 11:19 2 Apr 2025
Easy to say it now, but it really is a great league. What are people most looking forward to? (Other than winning a few games…)
- More regular games and no three week gaps without any matches
- More regular midweek games and games under the lights
- Playing that lot up the road
- Not having to give away fans 3,000 tickets
- Being able to enjoy watching Match of The Day again
- Having Town TV back again for when ‘overseas’
- Unpredictable games and anyone being able to beat anyone
- No more premier league anthem before games
- Pundits and reporters who actually understand the clubs and are knowledgeable about teams outside of the top six
- Having hope.

Thread | This whole Baller League thing - bit cringe isn’t it?
at 09:53 1 Apr 2025
On paper it’s a good format to see some high profile ex pros mixed in with popular talent, but the clips I’ve seen online just seem really naff. Can’t be more than a hundred or so people in the arena, cameras absolutely everywhere and staged flare ups between teams.
Anyone’s kids been enjoying it? (Or anyone on here for that matter)
Clips like this sum it up…

Thread | Apathy creeping in and I don’t like it one bit
at 10:45 17 Mar 2025
Walking through town to PR on Saturday I realised it was the first time in two and a bit years that I wasn’t excited to be watching the game. That sounds ridiculous because we’re in the premier league ffs and have been desperate to be here for quite literally decades. But part of me, just wants the season over and done with so we can look forward to some wins and seeing our young squad develop more and grow next season.
It’s a strange (and rubbish) feeling, but then football is a strange old game.
I’ll probably get a shed of downvotes for saying I feel apathetic, but I know I’m not the only one. And no I didnt leave at HT on Saturday like a good number of others did! Still, I’d much rather feel apathetic in the premier league than in mid table league one!!
Onwards and upwards.

Thread | “The journey is always a lot better than the destination”
at 23:53 22 Feb 2025
Very much feeling this tonight, after being told it repeatedly by fans of a few “yo yo” clubs last summer.
To cheer me up, can anyone give me three positives to being in the premiership? (Aside from financial security and publicity).
N.B. I’ll take this all back, if we stay up. |

Thread | What sort of captain is O’Shea?
at 15:17 16 Feb 2025
Can’t say I’ve paid him particular attention whenever he’s had the armband on for games I’ve been at, but after Phillips and Cajustes performance yesterday you could see O’Shea being captain a fair few more times this season.
He doesn’t exactly strike me as shy, but then again doesn’t seem to be the loudest on the pitch either.
Anyone noticed anything about him when he’s got the armband? |

Thread | Any whispers of summer events at PR?
at 10:15 15 Feb 2025
Ashton has said for a while he wants to use PR for big events in the off season as a revenue driver, which obviously hasn’t been able to happen the last few years because of the new pitch and then all of the PL upgrades.
Wardley rematch?
Sheeran?
Other concerts?
Premier League survival extravaganza? |

By the team from which we signed 40% of their defence in the summer. Ouch.
Absolutely insane record! |

Sorry if already posted…
(Before any pelters, not appreciating this because of anything political, merely because it’s an absolutely thunder bar steward of a tackle against an annoying player, celebrated like a goal) |

Thread | All else being equal…. If you had to swap PR for another British stadium?
at 16:48 13 Jan 2025
Imagine Portman Road is gone. You have to pick up another stadium and drop it into IP1 for the remainder of this seasons matches. Fixtures are the same, ticket demand is the same, location the exact same.
Which stadium are you going for and why?
Think my pick would be Villa Park. I reckon we could fill it for most games this season, and there’s something special about a four sides stadium…. And I couldn’t bring myself to say Elland Road. |
