BOGOF? The 'buying a footballer isn't like going into Tesco, you know' chat has started earlier than usual this year.

MInd you, I wouldn't be against signing 34-year-old Joe Bennet on a long-term deal if it meant his buddy Josh sticking around for that long too...!

And I can't wait for the thread about who gets to choose their seats at the triangle before others do - that one will be a real doozy...!

The thing is I'm not sure you can retrospectively introduce a loyalty scheme. I completely understand that existing ST holders might expect additional benefits based on x years of attendance, but where do you draw the line? As someone who's been to a dozen or so home games this year and is...

What do these releases mean for out wage bill? Obviously it means something a bit different to what it would've meant had we stayed in League One, but I assume Henry and Browne were both on a decent wedge. Glad we've triggered McGuane's extension.

I agree partly, but there'll never be a better example of a game for which a points system would've worked than that Peterborough game. A huge match for the club, only 1400 tickets allocated, and 5k+ ST holders. The maths just doesn't work, and so there were always going to be a lot of...

If anything, I think this demonstrates the dangers of over-analysing this. You've got a team who walked League One avoiding relegation the next season by a couple of points, and one that finished second going up again through the autos. Maybe the real lesson to learn from this, is that...

So you're saying that new season ticket holders should pay 50% more than the published price to be able to access to tickets for away games? Gosh, what an attractive incentive. they'll be queuing round the block :ROFLMAO: What about someone who lives miles away or can't travel and so never goes...

Is this a trick question? If we’re able to identify, afford and sign a better player than we currently have in any position, of course we should do it. Your question about whether you *try* and upgrade is entirely dependent on the incumbent in each position. And you never stop trying to...

Crackers that anyone thinks we would’ve spent that much on a player we only wanted for League One. He’s only 21, that money was obviously spent in the hope he’d be playing for us in the championship at some stage. However, that doesn’t negate the need for another striker.

Oh, I can’t wait to see how we go about this summer - have said elsewhere I’d give anything for a look at Ed’s spreadsheet! By and large the recruitment process seems to be something we’re pretty decent at - a couple of flakey loan signings this season in Perkins and Burey, but the only...

Think he’s played in the PL this year, so not beyond the realms of possibility that he finds himself in the first team squad next year. If not, and if he stays on the UK, I expect they’d be looking at a mid-table champ side at worst. Charlie Patino was at a similar level last summer, and was...

I looked at STs for this season for me and my lad, but based on the number of games we wouldn’t have been able to do together (mainly school nights - I can’t get a pass for a 9-year-old to be in bed at 11 on a Tuesday or Wednesday night!) decided against them for this season just gone. And...

I'm getting a flyer from work in Aylesbury at 4, picking my boy up, and then we're on the train from Bicester to meet the missus in Oxford.
