Joining Hull?

I was more concerned about the comment about us being good at the back end of the season!

I'd agree in the context you're saying. It's more the quantity to me, as I mentioned earlier I'd have expected a daily announcement or a signing this week leading up to season tickets being available. Everyone will have a view though, and I doubt anyone will be spot in with what actually happens.

I'm calm. I'd just suggest that we need to learn to manage expectations across the fanbase, not indicate lots of "exciting news in the coming days" when one of them is nothing more than a calendar. Under promise, over deliver.

I'd have expected a signing announcement per day at least this week, assuming we've at least 5 to announce.

Aekins 2 years. That's two half backs in two days.

LED advertising boards, they're the future.

Pricing is always going to be a difficult and emotive issue. We all want a good team on the pitch, however many fans are feeling the pinch and don't want prices to go up. I can empathise with Colin's point on another thread about pensioners having potentially limited income, yet that applies equally across all the age ranges. I actually agree with the club's principle of reduced prices for the younger fan as that's the demographic we need to be targeting in increasing numbers. With the best will in the world, knocking £50 off the price of a concession is unlikely to lead to an influx of 65+ supporters that don't already attend, whereas a season ticket for £100 for those under 30 may bring in some of those who've stopped attending in 2024 and also encourage more young families to the game. The other issue in the room is that I'd suggest (rightly or wrongly) that actually the price plays a comparatively low part in attendances. If we reduced season tickets to say £100 for adults and £50 for concessions, would we see an enormous spike in demand? I doubt it. Consequently the best way for the club to maximise revenue is to milk the current regulars for as much as they can. Will we loose a few to affordability issues? Undoubtedly we will, but the increased revenue for those that continue to fork out is likely to more than compensate for that.

Some good stuff here, especially Father Ted and Blackadder. A current favourite, although a mix of game show and comedy is Taskmaster. It's just nuts at times, Alex Horne is an excellent writer.

Must have had a bang to the head to be doing that.

Just rewatching Early Doors, a much underated classic imo. Other favourites include Phoenix Nights, Blackadder and Red Dwarf. What's your classic comedy watch?

As per the comment you've quoted, it appears to be the football club crest used not the RL one.

Agreed, sounds both aspirational yet level headed. Will be good to see further ground development, and hopefully fans will stick with the team rather than expecting instant success.

All logical points Colin, but what's your actual proposal to improve our IMG score? I agree it needs some imagination to generate additional interest, especially for the social media metrics. It's not my specific area of expertise as an accountant, and at 47 I feel like I'm not the demographic to be targeting anyway. It needs someone brought up with the whole array of social media outlets to be leading that, such as we used to have a few years ago as was mentioned in an earlier post.

Yes, caps lock has got stuck.

Must be flourishing for so many clubs to have increased their score sufficiently to get top marks.

To clarify, 14 days for the club to notify companies house of changes. Next working day for companies house to update the online records.

In short, no it isn't. Should be done within 24 hours of notification.

I just wish they'd pret on with some announcements. Sorry....

I'd wondered whether Bussey might call it a day at the end of the season, he's looked a shadow of his former self at times this season. As commented by TPH though, you never know quite what each individual's circumstances are.

I assume we employ a strength and conditioning lead, don't we....

You'd need it to happen four more times first.

So it really was Cannon and Rugby Ball then. Geek level of knowledge there.
