Morning, Star City in the end.  Motorway was busy arriving and my lad wanted a prematch McDonalds. In all fairness he didn’t moan at all walking in or walking back and was easy back onto the M6 .

It was a great evening for us to be fair, despite the end result. 

Nice one - glad you all had a great evening.

When he is on form he is a really good player for us.

When he is not on form he is not a really good player for us.

At the moment he is not on form but we don't have any other real options and he gets my support (at least) to get his form back and show us his qualities.

Where did you park in the end @ferguson1?

From the sublime against Arsenal to being woeful when he came on today. 

Needs to show more consistency.

Poor performance today and lucky to get a point however Chelsea (the Arsenal thrashing aside) have been playing well so not a surprise we didn't win.

Really need Emi and Youri back ASAP so hopefully they are not serious injuries.

Did we have a mandatory buy back?

As far as I am aware we did but I guess we’ll hear more in the near future. 

Welcome back!

Can we sign this guy for our academy?!

I’m not sure we did charge more than that on average once you take into account kids tickets and other concessions for U21 and Over 65’s.  

A north stand kids season ticket is around £8 a game isn’t it. 
 

Even buying individual tickets in the Trinity for a category A match is £13 for kids.  And there are loads of kids around me where I sit. 

Those figures sound great value if that is what we're charging. Does sound very low though.

Just read through the link. Average matchday revenue across all 20 clubs is €93 million. 
 

In comparison we were at £16m last season.

The £16m thing doesn’t make sense to me and it must be calculated on a different basis

40,000 x £25 x 19 home games (ignoring cups) comes to £19m and we charge or charged much more than £25 on average for a ticket! 

Feels like a huge opportunity for us but not confident in the result as either team are well capable of winning.

Hoping for an early Villa goal with the Holte in full voice. UTV!

Goddam it. Why didn't anyone post this on the Wes Edens thread so we could spend all day talking about it?

Some of us have been busy at work!
