Reply | Newcastle tickets! Early huh?
at 10:23 25 Mar 2025
Surprised they are being sold before the weekend, as if Newcastle are in the FA cup semi, the match will be moved to midweek. |

It's interesting to note their fine margins, of late goals, hanging onto 1 goal wins etc.
The exact opposite to our season, albeit at a much lower level. |

It deflected off Clarke. I was right behind it. Made just enough difference to prevent Muric from getting hands on it. |

Thread | Smoking in SBR Lower toilets
at 12:16 7 Oct 2024
Has anybody else noticed that this has gone from being a nuisance ie people queuing up to smoke in the cubicle; to being rife.
At the Villa game, many fans simply stood in the middle of the mens toilet area openly smoking.
I consider myself to be fairly tolerant of most things, but I don't want to breathe in others' smoke and the ceilings are very low in there.
I've spoken to stewards, but they don't seem to be interested in what would obviously be a confrontation. |

Reply | Brentford sold out
at 16:31 1 Oct 2024
At the start of next season, the Championship priority points will be erased.
There are only 19 PL away games; plus Wimbledon.
So the maximum anybody could be on at start of next season is 30.
5 for this year's membership plus 5 for next season's. Plus 20. for the matches They would have had to have gone to both Brentford and Bournemouth though, both with allocations below 2k.
So definitely not 3k at 30 points at start of next season.
There is of course the FA Cup to come which could add to away points further. |

Spot on. I made this point at Southampton last week and was shouted down. It feels like we've done it too well and sacrificed quite a lot. |

So he was angry last week.
Tonight he is hurt.
He says he blames himself, but the real message is that he blames the players, something that KMc doesn't do. |

I was just assuming that any promoted club would have to follow the same PL rules. And from what I can see it doesn't compare to what we've done. |

I'm in the ground early and looking at both sides. No sign of the massive press box that we were apparently forced to install. |

We'll be travelling by train and getting off at Earlsfield, nearest Station to the ground. Anybody got any pub recommendations from previous visits to Wimbledon? |

Reply | The extra 1000 seats?
at 08:43 18 Aug 2024
The answer to this in simpler than many have suggested.
D Block with its spacious seats removed and extra away capacity crammed into that space in standard seats, plus covering entrance.
X Block in SBR reconfigured with again less spacious seats replacing previously spacious premium ones.
Y Block in effect moved to the back which roughly compensates what's lost at the front to the press box.
Bottom right area of Visitors section no longer segregated by cloth, again gaining some seats.
Many marginal gains leads to the nearly 1000 gain which must be good news. |

Reply | Banner pre match
at 08:38 18 Aug 2024
Exactly that. This banner seemed to come down lower than previous ones and hence we could see nothing from the moment the players left the tunnel until virtually kick-off. Although the above isn't action as such, when you've waited 22 years for that moment it was disappointing.
I support the work of Blue Action and how they have helped to raise the profile of the club and improve the atmosphere in the ground, but in this case, it felt a step too far. |

Thread | 10% away allocation in Premier League?
at 10:45 2 May 2024
Whilst noting the reduced season ticket numbers for next year, is there not another angle that the club are having to protect, if we reach the promised land.
Our current away fans capacity is 2000.
In the Premier League we would be obliged to provide 2900 based on current capacity of 29000.
So you would assume supporters in middle section of Cobbold needing to move, unless part of lower SAR is used, as was done for West Ham in play offs 20 years ago. |

Thread | The state of Royal Mail
at 11:05 10 Apr 2024
My Blackburn tickets arrived YESTERDAY!
11 days after the match.
They'd been ordered 2 weeks before the game, but I started to get a bit twitchy 2 days before the match so rang the club to arrange for duplicates to be collected at Blackburn.
This back up plan worked really well.
So, 2 questions.
Is this further proof that Royal Mail is broken.
Should the club consider alternative methods for delivery of tickets? |

Reply | It probably is time for a new Cobbold stand
at 12:27 1 Mar 2024
Yes. The standing was the best bit for me. Stood there from 1972 to 1981 when we had to move as the executive boxes and seating came in.
A lot of fans were packed onto that terrace with at times a near crush, particularly Leeds FA Cup 1975.
It was a terrace made for standing with relatively low angle. The seats bolted onto the concrete terrace in 1981 were never fit for purpose, hence the poor view and lack of leg room today. |

Reply | Top 10 Portman Road attendances - those were the days
at 15:14 18 Jan 2024
By 1981 the Portman Terrace had become all seater/executive boxes, reducing the capacity to around 32000.
I was at the Leeds game, 9 years old at the time. I recall a combination of fear at how crowded it was and excitement of being in such a big crowd. Not sure if numbers were limited after that, but it really did feel very crowded. |

Spot on. He was definitely making a point. The crowd became lethargic and tense as our play lost its impetus. |
