Huge fan base too, well it seems that way, they always fill the britannia! What capacity is it?

28,383 capacity. Let's see how their attendances are after a decade of negative press and mid table mediocrity

16,823 was the average the season they won promotion, 26,953 the first Prem season and then they went up to 27,162.

I'm struggling to find accurate stats dating back to 2000/01 (our promotion season) and the two seasons after but having a dash through some of our crowd figures (without working them all out) we're looking at just shy of 16,500 and 26,000 (just over) the season after.

28,353 was our highest Premier League attendance. Suprisingly during the classic 9 man comeback against Leicester City on the 28/12/2004

28,218 is the Britannia's largest ever crowd

Feck all in it numbers wise

The record attendance wasn't the classic comeback, but the one where Les Ferdinand equalised for them.

Hmmm.. They're owned by 'Cube Limited' who are a company registered in the Isle of Man. I wonder if there any Eddie Davies links?

What is Eddie Davies' money actually in?
Something about Electrical connectors in Household appliances.. Pretty lucrative stuff.. Hardly Oil, but still a decent business

He doesn't have a business any more as he sold it, I think about two or three years ago for about £80m

First of all ranting is sometimes good, go check out the angry thread

And it wasn't nit-picking. You have an opinion that Stoke will struggle. Your using playground rhetoric 101 doesn't make it any more likely. It certainly isn't a 'fact'. It's an opinion, and people presenting their opinions as facts makes me want to rant.
You're.
Tut, tut. You're gonna get pulled up on that one sir!

What about starting a sentence with 'and'. Can I redeem myself there?

And no, you can't it's allowed

As expected?

Ward has signed a new deal...

Bolton teenager Danny Ward has signed a new three-year contract with the club.

The 18-year-old forward has made only two substitute appearances for the club but scored seven league goals during a loan spell at Swindon last season.

And Bolton boss Owen Coyle wants to send Ward out on loan again this season to help him gain experience.

"I have tremendous belief in Danny but it's fair to say that he needs to go and get some Championship experience," Coyle told the club website.

"He was involved in our squad throughout pre-season and did ever so well but with the players that we have in front of him at the moment then it makes sense for him to go out on loan."

Coyle said "numerous" Championship clubs had expressed an interest in Ward and that he was likely to go out on loan in the next week.

Coventry are believed to be leading the chase for a player who helped Swindon reach the League One play-off final last season.

"He can now go out on an emergency loan, which covers the next three months, and I know that when he comes back then I will get a far better player," added Coyle.

Posted on SSN this afternoon - confirmed loan to Coventry (not sent I hope!) 'til January.
Good luck to the lad & hope he returns even stronger.

interesting structuring of the deal - Coyle wants him to see action....

"Bolton striker Danny Ward has joined Championship side Coventry City
on loan until January, and in a unique arrangement the Sky Blues will
pay Bolton less every time Ward plays for them. Bolton boss Owen Coyle
has structured the deal to encourage Coventry to play Ward more often
and they will pay less for doing so. “The more Danny plays the more
the fee is reduced. We are not putting him out to gain financially –
we want him to come back a better player. Every time he plays the sum
comes down by a substantial amount. I think it is very fair.”"

Hmmm.. Perhaps he was inspired to do that after Arsenal did it to us??

Just speculating, I don't know how the Wilshere deal was structured

Seems reasonable, OC wants him to gain experience and they pay less for letting him play. This would suggest that Boothroyd is going to give him games. Good luck to the lad

Well, Sky reckon it's 'unique', and during the Wilshere discussions I suggested we might be doing that, so I'm claiming full credit. OC clearly posts, or at least lurks on here.

Careful: they don't really understand words. They frequently refer to "trademark" in reference to odd things - "Rafa Nadal's trademark determination" - as if anyone else displaying determination could be accused of passing off...

Anyways, clever deal - whether or not it's the only such one. Nice work to us, good luck to him, come back ready for the next step up Danny boy!

In the case of Sky, for 'Unique' read 'Different'.

There's a unique atmosphere at St. James' Park.

There's a unique atmosphere at Anfield.

No there's not.. They sing when they're winning, they moan when they're not!

Lee maybe?? you reckoned he'd languish there for many a long month and never get near the senior team....

Lord Kangana · Post by **Lord Kangana** » Fri Sep 10, 2010 11:05 pm

Regardless of who captains it, we should give Gavin McCann a new contract and play him on the wing in perpetuity. Then when young children unwise to the ways of the world ask "Daddy, why was Megson such a nobber?" there is no need for words, just a cold November evening in Leyland. We owe it to the next generation.

If I did say that**, I clearly didn't give Megson the credit he deserved

Signed Ward, too, didn't he

** can you spy what I said, cos I've tried to find it and failed

Great idea for the loan deal, unique or not.
