Well we will never know … Dragon Rogue are considered the go to agency …

Doubt it. There track record is impressive when given room. We gave them a box

It’s all because some mad chairman wanted to change the club colours of Cardiff, clubs now have to engage and design by committee. I get certain things should be consulted with fans but I feel that in this instance it should have been done after the professionals had produced their designs without restrictions. We all have different opinions and are of different eras. Round badge is nostalgic to some whereas others it’s just that - a round badge with no sentimental attachments. Without fan engagement we could’ve ended up with something really special. Now we have a compromise and that will sadly always be the case.

Watching the interview again, his comment about contracts could be more about the outsourcing of our merchandising to fanatics and catering etc. something Wyness did with Everton also to much criticism. Now it’s being brought back in house with an elite brand producing the kit we should hopefully see our commercial income rocket.

Great players as they are, we’ve proven with Rogers you don’t need to pay top dollar for top players. Think I’d prefer Rowe who could be as good potentially for less than a 3rd of the price of Olise & Eze.

The fans which stop going will be replaced by those willing to pay, its simple supply and demand and that’s why we aren’t increasing capacity right now. The rarer the product the more that can be charged, its modern football economics. The has to raise prices in order to keep up with the established clubs who’ve had a massive head-start financially and who have also been more commercially savvy. I don’t necessarily agree with it but the waiting list shows that any season tickets not renewed due to costs will be brought by someone else. There is no loyalty towards fans anymore just increasing the bottom line.

Doubt they could if we got permission to build a wider stand …

Forest are adding 600plus premium seats with shipping containers … ugly but as a short term measure above the corner flag restaurant it could be something the club will look at as there’s wasted space above it currently.

Key words ! As I said before the proposed new corner where the trinity met the north stand had more rows by removing the walkway. By reprofiling the trinity lower tier you can add rows so any lost GA seats can be replaced whilst adding additional GA+ seating.

The premier league has exploded in terms of global reach and popularity since the Lerner era badge and to international fans and brands it is synonymous with AVFC. The new NSWE era badge is an evolution of that design - I’m sure someone in marketing and advertising can sum up better than I ever could why they’ve chosen to do this rather than a full new design. I get why some don’t like it and prefer the nostalgic round badge but it has the lion the name and the year we were founded - it conveys what it’s supposed to and I hope upon launch we will hear more regarding the reasoning behind this design choice. I don’t think for a second it’s been done for egotistical reasons by Heck and if he truly believed the round badge which I’ve always thought was underwhelming was the right one to grow the brand moving forwards it would’ve stayed.

Yawn

Mandela Keita & Oscar Gloukh …

They kinda did do that …

Interesting no sleeve sponsor so that’s gunna be different and presume a lot bigger deal than the current one…
