Yeah. For past two seasons our support in and around the 200 miles North mark has barely tickled 1000.
We didn't take 1300 to either Sheffield club on Saturday 3pms last season and they're not as far and are better connected. Ditto with PNE in a 6-pointer at end of last season.
This really does smack of a small club getting excited about visiting a sexy club and I don't know how I feel about that. |

Just did a bit of digging..
You get 100 pts for buying an ST (with an extra 40 if you do it within opening loyalty window)
You get 30 pts for buying club membership.
So, 170 pts without going to a game outside W12 and 100 or so pts for going to 23 away games. Doesn't feel right to me, could be weighted a bit better?
Still, you'll never please everybody I suppose. |

Pardon me for gegging in with little knowledge but the concept of streaming compressed/digitised music via a phone to really expensive kit seems a bit iffy?
Fair do's if the input is decent quality and any transmission via "casting" does not suppress or reduce the quality but I just wanted to sense check that the hardware end of the set-up was proportionate to the feed/input it gets. |

How d'ya amass 3000 points??
What's the average reward per game, 5sh I reckon. So call it 100ish points max reward for going to every away game in a season. Gonna take 30 bleeding years to tot up 3000! Fair play to anyone who has done that but there can't be many who have surely.
I remember being at Goodison on a Monday night before Christmas and I doubt there was even 75 of us there - would suggest that our absolute hardcore can't be more than a few hundred. |

Reply | We had a perfectly good manager in Marti…
at 22:01 23 Aug 2025
Marti is and was a chump and a phoney. Look at his record, it's garbage.
But that's absolutely irrelevant in terms of this season. We need to address the corporate obsession with "data" that's delivering us shite football, shite footballers and clueless foreign managers.
The glaring hole in Nouury's masterplan is fact that all these bright young prospects will be brought up as as losing pussy-footballers with no idea how to win a game of football. They will be shell-shocked PTSD zombies fit only for the scrapheap in 3 years.
The whole concept of growing and nurturing footballers is underpinned by playing them in an attractive winning team. We are massively failing on that front. |

Cov were lethal and converted the gifts we presented them with. They were set-up and primed to sweep forward at any opportunity. I've heard of defending with "two banks of 4" but they seemed to attack with "two banks of four".
They completely swamped us basically.
My view is that Fat Frank identified that we were slow and plodding at the back and our "system" would easily be disrupted by a fast aggressive approach.
Our players wilted and became unable to execute even a simple 5yd pass. The more we visibly wilted, the more they pushed on against us. It began to feel like anytime they had the ball in the final third they'd score by dint of having at least 6 players in and around the box.
It was a game that proved that stats like possession or XG are just nonsense..... they absolutely smashed us. It was like watching a fight between a wolf and a lamb.
I knew things were badly off at the club but I felt I should give it 8-10 games before passing public judgement given the amount of new staff. BUT..... I feel very confident in now saying there is something badly off at the club. I'm guessing the manager and coaches are not fit for purpose.
I left my seat after 7th went in so I did miss Kone's strike and the fightback though. |

Let's face it, we are in the middle of a massive slump. It might be start of season but everything about the club is pointing towards another season bumping along in lower reaches of table.
We've basically bought L1 players and and an unknown manager in over the summer and have shown nothing positive in the 3 opening games.
I suspect people are voting with their feet and hence our following at Cov will be well down on what it's been in recent years there on a Saturday.
I'm going but I'll be flabbergasted if we don't get stuffed there. |

Has to be relegation at this juncture. Completely new manager I know nothing about and new acquisitions that don't seem to have made any significant or meaningful appearances in the friendlies. Beyond that, a large chunk of the existing players are inexplicably missing or injured or frozen out. It looks like a shambolic hotch-potch of mediocre puzzled players to me.
It does seem normal and acceptable to virtually write off the opening fixtures pending the closure of the transfer window and finally getting all the ducks lined up from September though. I find that a bit annoying, especially as our opening fixtures aren't that daunting and if we were ready and "at it" we could fill our boots, pick up early points and give ourselves a base to build from. |

I'm unclear why club would fanny around with points/times on this? Could've just lashed them up to all and sundry at 11am with a limit of 200 tickets per person.
Maybe it's just about making fans with tons of loyalty feel appreciated? Also, if for some bizarre and unlikely reason they all sold out before a 1000pt fan got their ticket, that fan would be annoyed. But come on, given it's a night game in another time-zone* they aint selling out are they.

Dunno how long it's been since you driove and parked there but aside from parking I assume you know that London traffic is ridiculous nowadays too. When you're SatNav says there's 2 miles to go but that'll take another 70mins it's not broken - it's being optimistic! |

Despite us sorting out the finances and balancing the books in recent years we have been pisspoor at moving players on at a profit. This will always leave us playing catch-up with our rivals.
Eze was sold ages ago and since then we have not generated anything of note via sales. Getting £3+ Mil for a disaffected player who has done nothing for us since signing him for £200K is an outstanding bit of business AND a necessary bit of business.
It really doesn't matter if Kelman goes onto bigger and better things, right now the club have done very well indeed with this deal. |

20% of buggerall isn't worth much though. If I were CAFC I'd point blank refuse having a sell-on clause, especially if they're already stumping up £3million.
I don't get any of it, he looks like a bang average lower league immobile lump to me - I suspect he'll be as effective as Macauley Bonne was for us which will sort of square the circle. One thing you can rely on though: he WILL score against us when he returns! |

He was a special player - a complete one off.
There was more to see in 5 mins of Adel being "on it" than there was to see in 46 games put together last season.
Could go on forever about what's wrong with modern football but nobody being willing to play with joyous outrageous self-belief and "play like nobody is watching" is leaving a big hole in the game. Players don't seem to want to even shoot from outside the box anymore let alone dribble, nutmeg and pirouette their way up the field before chipping the keeper to score. I do miss him! |

Dubois needs to ditch his dad. He had two voices in his ear during his training camp and during the fight. As for jumping up and walking back to his corner on the count of 11 WTF was that all about????? Something badly off with him on the night.
Usyk does old school training camps and preparations. Most of his opponents recently seem to be slack and have too much noise and circus going on around them. Indeed, there are rumours of antics, squabbling and bickering in Team Dubois literally hours before the fight - ridiculous! |

at 21:30 21 Jul 2025
Dunno what stats say but it feels like he's missed quite a few games with a series of knocks, tweaks and strains. I feel this has slightly dampened both his progress and his value. Most top players who command big fees and wages are pretty robust and don't miss many games - Eze needs a season or two injury free if he is ever going to transition into a superstar coveted by the elite teams. When fit, he looks capable of playing at that level though. |

It's first game of season. It's a Saturday 3pm start - I think penny has dropped with a lot of fans that there might be just 10 of those all season. We go into the weekend unbeaten and joint top...
So, if you can't get excited and want to go to this game I'm not sure what the point of you is?
I know people have obstacles to attending - that's why I said WANT to go..... |

Must be worst series of spot kicks ever - shocking!
Swedish keeper was diving when English players were 2 yards short of ball. Why didn't they just laugh and roll the ball the other side?? Think there were only 3 decent pens out of all what was it 7 each? |

They been around a few years. Them and Saudis have already annexed boxing so don't s'pose it'll be long til they creep into football.
Initially I was quite pleased that Sky's footy stranglehold had been broken but today it seems too fragmented and state-sponsored. A right mess. My flash Smart TV is running out of RAM space cos of too many apps already.
Ultimately there's miles too much footy being broadcast, dunno where it's all leading. Be interesting to see how long it is before the Saudis can turn the heads of The Prem or Ceferin.
Lord knows where plebs like us in the EFL will end up, probably on Sunday mornings on Dave TV... |
