    On the plus side, means we don't have to worry about a new VP lease. Ground share with Halifax....??

    I also rate him at this level. We just need two capable midfielders in front of him and let him do his job of shielding, winning the ball and giving it simple.

    Seven sisters rings a bell as the one they advised people to walk to? I think thats the one we went to, was a fair old trek!

    Two of the lads I went down with are Leeds fans and were going down for the Spurs away match a few weeks later. Instead of getting anywhere near Tottenham I think they parked one stop away but going the other way from London, Enfield maybe? And said the trains were the same level of busy for the PL as the NFL match, but barely anyone got on the train going Enfield way and they were out and back to the car in no time.

    Tongue in cheek I know, but it’s not the price increase that has done the damage

    In what context did I say that ? Was it because we have less ST holders or was it in relation to rent negotiations?

    Not sure I mentioned anything like putting prices up hundreds.
    And no, I don’t think we should have kept prices same.

    I very much like the idea of unreserved seating.
    Buy a ticket and sit where you want like the good old days.
    Want to sit in your favourite seat, come early.

    I think we will end up around 10,000 ST holders, with a late surge.

    The direct debit is the savior for many. In the current cost of living crisis a football ST isn’t a necessity, and subscriptions are one of the first things people end when cutting their expenses - whether it be gym memberships, Netflix etc.

    it is unfortunate for the club that they chose to increase the prices after a diabolical year on the pitch, when fans themselves are dealing with rising living costs in general.

    They should have upped the prices 12 months ago when Hughes had credit in the bank and we still had a chance of promotion.

    The owner rejecting the petition and the car crash Radio Leeds fans forum (which had no fans) in which Sparks outlined the clubs goal of sustainability are other reasons numbers are down. That, and the general apathy from Rupp and fact Sparks seems to think he’s doing a good job.

    Fewer fans= less income. if Rupp is going to make city competitive he needs to put his hand in his pocket. Or cost cutting needs to occur. Perhaps start with Sparkes?

    15 days remaining and fans are panicking about the current uptake. :D

    We generally shift a large percentage in the final days leading up to the deadline - I don’t see this campaign being any different.

    Sparks is on borrowed time. Maybe his trip to Germany was more than just a footballing matter but thrashing out his contract

    Sparks isn’t going anywhere! The sooner fans accept this and collectively pull together, the better.

    Your an excellent gauge at VP and often more around the ball park... honestly do you believe 15k is anywhere achievable?
