The Chiefs put their prices up significantly after Covid in the expectation that the loyal fans would continue to attend. They didn't. Attendances plummeted and 12 months later with their tail between their legs they announced a significant reduction in prices. Attendances however did not bounce...

The fact that you know what the sign is and where its positioned speaks volumes. I can't answer the question as to why it's so special, but its definitely iconic.

The tiny decrease can be attributed to the reduction in away fans, with average number of home fans being almost identical.

Indeed. I don't think the youth coaches will be concerned about the results at all (assuming that we are playing against teams consisting largely of older lads). They'll be focused on development and performance over results, every time.

The initial fee for 16 year old Ampadu appeared low at the time, but with the sell-on clause plus the other significant add-ons, it feels like we have done pretty well from that deal. Do we know what the total amount received was? For Key however, I'd rather a big upfront fee, as realistically...

Given that Key has stepped up to the Championship with ease, and now has a season under his belt could mean that the tribunal delay is beneficial to us. It's probably not a factor that should be considered by the panel, but unconsciously a player playing regularly has to be worth more to those...

Bolton only brought 900 this season, which was pretty poor IMO. And Barnsley were even worse with their 600. Rotherham and Stockport will only bring a few hundred (obviously more if they are doing well). Huddersfield will probably bring a few more. Wrexham will sell out. The circus around...

I’m not trying to re-write history, nor suggest my experience is consistent with everyone, but no-one believes that 45% want him gone now, right?

Yet, second highest scorers away from home in the same period, behind Barnsley.

I don't mind this thread and will continue to read it. What is very evident now of course, is that the poll linked to this thread is totally meaningless. I'd be amazed if 5% of City fans want him to go, let alone the 45% as per the current results on the poll. Even in the darkest moments...

The appeal of a terrace for me, is the ability to choose where I stand and with whom. Safe standing where you have to stand in a designated spot, next to whoever has brought the ticket next to you, delivers none of the benefits of a terrace. I just don’t get it.

It may be a co-incidence, but since Eisa has been with us, Sonny Cox has really improved. That may be because of competition for the #9 spot, or learning from Eisa, or his natural learning curve, or less pressure. Who knows, but the improvement is very welcome.

If Hull are going to loan him out for the final 12 months of his contract, they'll simply loan him to whichever club is willing to pay the highest percentage of his wages.

Probably. As I mentioned in the response to FBH, the next step IMO is for us to retain the ball higher up the pitch, closer to the opposition goal. At the same time I think it's important to acknowledge that while it's not entertaining to watch us knock the ball around at the back, what we are...

I'd always rather have the ball, regardless of where it is on the pitch. Obviously the closer to your own goal you are the riskier the situation. Whereas we do play-out from the back, we don't overplay in our own third. Indeed, most of our possession would be in the middle third. To improve we...
