I remember them beating us 8:0 and we were lucky to get nil. Seven different players scored 

Even I remember that. I even remember going there when we lost 3-0 under Lambert in 2015 and when Diego Costa scored in front of us.

One things for sure, if Smith were to pull one out the bag here it will go down as a massive achievement. Our results against Chelsea since coming up have been pretty close games. 1-2, 1-2, 1-1, 2-1. I agree I can see a 3/4-0 here though.

We haven't got the same midfield unlike last season and yeah we did win against Chelsea on the last day. The problem we are having is we got a load of players out injured and on international duty. Smith could maybe play out Chuk, both Ramsey brothers and maybe a few other youngsters for this.

Not too sure about this. We could be up for a spanking unfortunately but I am hope I'm wrong.

I'm watching on my laptop. Who'd want to go to Barrow to watch this?? Anyway, it's good to see a different team playing.

Glad I didn’t watch it.

Obviously I can’t make the Watford game so I’ll be listening to Jack Woodward if he’s doing radio commentary.

I think Grealish £100M is a total joke. He wasn’t worth that much. £40-50M is understandable but I think Pep will drop him for the rest of the season.How would City fans stand around the Etihad just to watch a presentation of singing Jack Grealish?

The signings we’ve made Danny Ings, Buendia, Bailey I think could make a good team. We finished 11th last season but could we finish higher this season? Apparently I hear Bailey is dynamite, I’ve seen his goals for Bayer Leverkusen and their pretty good.

Prediction could be a bold one but 0-3 to us. UTV.

Kick off is 3pm in the UK so 4pm in Spain.

Yeah definitely 3pm I looked. Might be a good crowd for it.

3pm. Where have you seen 6pm?

On a google search.

Is it at 3 or 6pm?

Which bit? Think we've got the 3rd richest now based on Nas' increase in wealth over the past 12 months. 

Yeah that’s the bit. Cheers.

Is this actually true?

Good - I’ve just renewed  mine. Happy days.

Purslow did mention season tickets in his interview. Just wondering if they  have decided to hold fire until the government decide to end social distancing or not.

I reckon what will happen is they might make an announcement today publishing ticket details and maybe later on in the week they’ll release it in full and allowing us to purchase. Purslow said week commencing 31st May, not on the 31st itself. They way their not mentioning it on the social channels is their probably keeping it a surprise in my thinking.

Outdoors by late August? Doubtful. Unless there's a variant at large which escapes the vaccine. Which is possible of course, but it certainly shouldn't dictate the clubs plans.

What would make you think that? Yeah, there’s an Indian Variant going around but we never know it might be gone by the time the season starts in August, and I also think maybe all of us will be vaccinated by then.

I took the vouchers, so the season ticket price I now pay will be cushioned a bit. 

Good thinking

How would one get onto a waiting list for one? Albeit I’m sure it’ll be 10,000 before me in the queue!

Yeah, they gave options. I took the money and ran for the hills.

I though we did get money off the last 6 games. We had an option of being either fully reimbursed or receiving vouchers I reckon.

Sorry thought not though.

Aren't we getting money off for the 6 games we missed in 19/20 too? I think it was 6 games wasn't it?

Yep, there will be students who've moved on, people who've moved out of the area, older people who won't want to come back, perhaps some not ready to be in a big crowd yet, and some financially affected - if the demand generally holds though, I'd have to say I'd be very reluctant to give up a season ticket right now, no matter my circumstances. 

Pricing will be a big thing here - the club could put £150 on every season ticket and still sell them out - so it'll be another interesting measure of how they 'feel' about fans.

Regardless, I’m still renewing mine.

Ta. I hadn't heard it was in the Purslow interview.

 

Yeah it was. But we never know, it may not be mentioned today.

47 minutes ago, OutByEaster? said:

What makes you think that?

 

It was basically a guess, if Purslow said it was going to happen on Monday then we just have to keep our eyes on the website for more information.

If you go to AVFCSupport on twitter, you'll see a tweet from the club about contact preferences. Switch them on so you don't miss anything from the club.

Anything certain on this yet? I've not seen anything other than Purslow saying they'd be this week.

I was guessing this really. I've been looking across the official channels. I'm waiting for my phone to ping with an update.

It looks like the season ticket announcement is today.

Has there been anything on official channels to confirm Monday as a release date?

 

No, I suppose they’ll just announce it tomorrow.
