they are just capitalists behaving as such. there is worse to come.

FA cup being exclusive on weekends for later rounds is a good step. It will be obviously because prem will just be midweek instead but still. No wonder why big clubs agreed, can now play midweek and their b teams in the cup on the weekend. win win really.

Compromise after compromise for nothing in return. EFL cup to go next. Slow knife etc. Dont even see this as most egregious changes that will be coming.

Didnt want to start a new thread but a very interesting podcast from the athletic about games in US, how the prem will react, ticket prices discussed at the end. Overall suggestion is that it will be undeniable there will be some form of competitive fixture in the US within 5yrs Business case...

if selling for 2k thats 2 years of season ticket paid for in one match that is of no consequence to us so i can understand it. Imagine if they won the league, id pay 2k NOT to be there.

I agree that charging for a membership is scandalous and why i dropped off the season list tbh. Was in london over easter though and some friends there said were paying £100 a year on top of their Arsenal membership to get them more chance of a ticket (cant remember the name of the scheme). So...

Thats the midfield and forward line we have all been calling for and it picks itself now. Hope gareth goes with it because that is so exciting going forward. So interchangeable across the front 3, pacey, skillful and all can crack a shot off. Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war! We are gonna...

Thought the example in the article that Liverpool do selling cheap tickets to a select number but have to have an 'L' postcode was a good initiative. From a club that FSG generally only make money decisions. Probably one PR exercise to keep some form of backing, Similar thing would work for any...

agreed, interesting to see how it is manifesting, molineux redevelopment space anyone?!? Still find it baffling that clubs do all they can to screw revenue without addressing the cost size. Players unionised and agents know the business so a lot easier to just get more money out of the...

https://theathletic.com/5407933/2024/04/12/ticket-prices-premier-league/?source=user_shared_article A good article on the outlook for prem tickets in general. Feels that they will just keep going up and up. Interesting that overseas fans consider premier league tickets very cheap. How clubs are...

Out of our 3 big ticket players (Neto, Gomes, RAN), Gomes is absolutely the one i would keep. Gives the whole spine of the team strength and allows the others to flourish. We should keep Lemina, Gomes (and Doyle) together as long as possible. Big drop off without him. Neto can be replaced and...

I don't think wolves fill 40k regularly so blues got no chance. Would need to be chasing Europe to have anywhere close to that. You don't just double the attendances when promoted. Would have to be multi purpose for concerts, boxing etc. even then probably won't make back the investment

Has to be 8th/conference league place for the aim. Think this was the year to go for it as other top teams won't be as bad next year. But we can only wait and see now. As good as finishing mid table is for 7 seasons it will get stale very quickly if not already. You have to feel upwardly mobile...

German fans get stuff cancelled/amended all the time with protests. Monday night football matches and tv fixture moves all abandoned due to fan pressure. English fans arent as organised, most in the ground arent as invested in the fabric of football and passive. Protests are seen as uncouth in...
