Fair enough yes I wasn’t aware of that.I believed that if the roadmap was followed restrictions were to be lifted.I most likely read that in a newspaper though. Guess will have to wait and see. The government Sports Minister's stated aim is to have 100% attendance at the Euros - with either proof of vaccine passport or on-the-spot lateral flow test allowing entrance. Obviously no guarantees but that's the target. If things continue as now then you'd hope that can be achieved - then onto August. Where's that been said out of interest? From what I've seen they were looking at 25% capacity for the Wembley group games and 50% for the semis and final...

I don’t recognise any of your claims to be honest mate! Very few kids are told they are special, on the contrary the system is pretty tough- that’s what they are exposed to granted, but certainly not the picture you paint! Good to know the boy is excluded anyway! Didn’t know how to break it to him he was destined to be an arsehole😬 My son spent a couple of years in the Man U academy and he’s an arsehole. He’d admit it himself. He probably gets it off me. In fact, I think everybody is a bit of an arsehole from time to time. Except Bob Mortimer. Gonna have to agree to disagree there I love Bob normally but i've seen that fishing programme and the way he keeps yapping when the serious fishing is happening would boil my piss! I i was fishing with him in place of Paul i'd probably end up garroting him with a leader and opening him up with my fillet knife! Sorry

I’ve renewed for what it’s worth as obviously the demand will go through the roof when the Phil’s war chest is opened and Messi and Kane are announced as back up to not thwart pathways for our youth players.

Whats ridiculous is I can get a season ticket for £249, and pay that in August when I've seen pre-season and what kind of squad we might have... but someone who has had one for 25 consecutive years but who refunded or didn't buy this season, perhaps because their finances were compromised as a result of losing a job or being furloughed on 80%, now have to pay £80 *more* than me for the exact same product.Most other subscription based services (which is what football is) offer cash discounts to entice people in. Lots of fans would have paid a lot more than him/her for their season tickets during our first season in the Premier league though. He got a £150 discount if I remember correctly. Plus the fans who bought a season ticket this season will presumably still end up paying more than him/her over a four year period. Lets be honest they're still getting a damn good deal compared to fans of other Clubs.

Love that - although the clips at the end spoil it a bit, however iconic the individual moments were...but I guess it had to go somewhere. Who is Matt Roberts, he has a good voice - reminds me of someone off the telly?? Heywood Irish Centre stalwart, silver fox with a wand of a left foot.

Had great season ticket offers for years now and continue to do so, of course people would like assurances though and its perfectly understandable if people hang back.

Your right you can’t but you can knock the state of the squad but that’s for another day.

The only issue I have is the 30th June deadline for those that didn’t renew for this season. This is totally unnecessary and borderline stupid. It feels like they are making fans rush into a decision when things, pandemic wise, will probably still be in the air. I cannot see any logical thinking behind that, especially as some of those who didn’t renew for this season may have been financially hit by the ongoing crisis. Apart from that, the pricing seems right and the ‘reward’ for renewing seems fairly generous. I am probably going to have to ponder long and hard about whether to go for it as I will be ‘in’ for nearly £800. That includes a son who might go away to Uni eventually and another son who has a part time job where he occasionally works Saturdays. I think I might just rock up every now and then when I fancy a day out. I suspect the june deadline is partly so they have a better idea of budgets during transfer window.

I'll be waiting to see who we sign. Any more Wards, Holmes,Aaron's etc and I wont bother. Cant face another relegation battle whichever division we are in. The recruitment over the last 3 years has been a disgrace and until the recruitment team go I cant see anything changing

Fair enough I could easy sit and watch an hour of Paul fishing in silence with the occasional cursing to himself when he misses one! Watched an hour of canal boat footage from a go pro sat at the front as it Ambeled along a canal with just the noise of the wildlife around it, therapeutic!

If we secure safety in the next two games we may start to get an inclining of how sales are likely to go.

Next season will be the 6th consecutive season that an adult can purchase a season card for under £300. You can't knock that. It’s a sad state of affairs when fans think it’s cheap if their season ticket is under £300. With this super league raising its ugly head football wants to take a long hard look at itself. Bring in FFP properly, salary cap the wages and expenditure of clubs to live within their means, distribute money fairly throughout the leagues and make football cheap again for the fans. This would make it a lot fairer and more competitive reducing the risk of enabling clubs to make a new top 6 mentality.

The rest are over priced. That may be true, however one thing can't be denied, we have been thoroughly spoilt over the last ten years where pricing is concerned compared to most.

The rest are over priced. So the price is what you feel it's worth & the rest are over priced but you can still knock it? Town have offered some of the lowest prices in the whole football league for the 6th consecutive year, its been cheaper to watch Town than AFC Halifax in the conference.

I think towns prices are good and personally on the back of that will be renewing ..

Agree 100% with terriersyndrome here - Town season cards are very good value, when compared to all the others, PL, EFL and even down to the non leagues. The fact remains that they are overpriced, its just they are less expensive than the vast majority. Then again replica shirts, other stock in club shops, food and drink, matchday parking, programmes etc etc are all far too expensive as well and the reason for it all is players wages. As an example, if Alex Pritchard was paid a realistic figure, not just at Town but by his former clubs and his next ones as well, let's be kind and say £1,000 a week we could go to a game, in a new replica shirt and , park in the car park and get a coffee and pie for less than the regular cost of a replica shirt. The way the price of watching football has gone up in the last 25/30 years must have outstripped any other form of entertainment?

Lets say the 'Whats Left of the EPL' TV rights now goes for £1bn a year (or less), the knock on effect is that there's less money in the game, and footballers earning power drops as a result (or clubs increase their debt). Despite the outrage and what will be some major upheaval for a few clubs, this could well be a really positive change for football in this country.
