Put this here as it's about the wider football "settlement" but I see Shazza has had some pretty strong words for the parliament select committee dealing with the proposed new regulator, about the "greed" of the big clubs. I think she's right, though I found her extremely trying. She was asked conc...

I've loved it. If you said to me we'd lose on sat but win the league next year I'd take it. You can't, obvs, so I'll take a win. But footballs about winning. Yup. I've really enjoyed it. I thought we had a good chance of automatic promotion this season and it's a shame we fell short. I felt very st...

Ethan Erhahon at Lincoln is someone I would like us to look at. Definitely Championship-bound, that lad.

Yup. Would certainly go for him over Luca Connell in terms of value.

Not sure you necessarily have nail on head regarding all our fanbase. Some of our off-day performances since January weigh much more heavily than a Dougie Freedman special, 10 years back. I'd file that under "reasonable concerns." Like I say, Oxford absolutely can beat us. They've been in superb fo...

if I were a neutral I'd probably be having a bet on Oxford at the prices. I never check the odds (no footy betting for me), but had a quick look and yes you'd only bet on Oxford. However, I'm not sure I'd expect my money back. Over a decade of getting hammered by footballing realities has trained o...

We have two 20+-goal-a-season strikers in the 11.

Sod 'em.

Words from the captain. To go from almost dropping out of the game to the Championship in 4 seasons would be a massive personal achievement for him.

Okay. Tickets physically in hand makes the whole thing feel more imminent - even if they're just print-outs. Due for a merch delivery from the shop tomorrow, which will ramp it up another notch and allow the kids to decorate the car. Nerves stating a little now. The Tinpot didn't mean much for the f...

Do we actually get a cut? I thought it all goes to EFL/Wembley and we just get a token match fee EDIT: Just read the clubs share 50% of the ticket sales equally between them. Regardless of who sold what.. Yup. Plus merch, TV, sponsorship etc. The club is on track to make ~£1.5m from the play-offs.

He looked a real talent when he came through, but haven't seen him in a while. The worrying thing is the fairly universal talk of physically struggling. That could just be versus prem players who are monsters (witness 37 year old Ashley young destroying us last year), but it's so important for us. ...

It’s me and a few mates, but if I can swap then I’ll book some now. Cheers, Ghost.

Might be time to contact the ticket office already, Gun

Leicester forum reaction seems to coalesce around "maybe a lower-half Champo / upper League One player". Most Boro and Blades fans would share that view. Reading through those Leicester pages you get the image of your usual footy forum. Mostly normal folk, mixed in with a load of people who only ex...

Our first Twitter rumour would be an ambitious one.

A 22-year-old with ~60 Premier League appearances and 10 games in Europe.

Odd getting these ones coming out when there's still football to be played

One goal and one assist in 24 second-tier appearances (albeit 16 of them as sub, not always in the middle of the front 3, and most importantly all for a plummeting Barnsley). Also turns 30 next May. Not sure he'd top my list. He's one a lot of managers will look at and think "I can get a song out o...

I'm fairly local to Huddersfield. The reaction of their fans has been, shall we say, muted?

Obviously they're on a really low ebb right now, but this hasn't moved the needle much and it'll be interested to see how that translates in terms of patience.

GhostoftheBok

Really not too fussed TBH...I mean we commanded the support on Tuesday who were noisy and supportive - still got beat! :-) I mean we've sold 26? So only have another 10k... Gone through 28,000 now. Lots of people still trying to figure out the logistics of getting there before they buy tickets, so ...

GhostoftheBok

Interested to see Barnsley's retained/released list when it emerges. Per Transfermarkt, among those falling out of contact are Devante Cole, Nicky Cadden, Herbie Kane and Jordan Williams. Jamie McCart's also been listed by Rotherham, whence he was loaned to the Tykes... Maybe they'll all go to Hudd...

You can't directly swap, but the club said they'd definitely fully refund any tickets if I wanted to move some of my party to other seats.

So you'd need to cancel the first set of seats and rebook the new block.

GhostoftheBok

I'm currently debating whether to buy tickets now or hold off in the hope we open up another block and I can get seats closer to the front. Does anyone have an opinion on the likelihood of us getting another block now? Sounds like additional blocks are very unlikely, but if it's just you you might ...

^^ Not quite. Had the Derby game ended as a draw, they'd still be on 90 and we'd have been 89...i mean 5npoints in front is pretty decent on a "fine margins call"...

Fair correction.
