All the clubs in the Midlands are shit though.

Obvious lols.

I'm fully behind the suggested added time multi-ball
idea

I am going to see Fulham/Newcastle in a couple of weeks. I will be in the away end so the price is capped. Fulham have just released 800 tickets in their new stand priced at £90 for adults and £60 for juniors. mad.

Fulham have gone fully mental with prices this season. Clearly a lot to pay back on that new stand.

£60 for kids is actually digusting.

Meanwhile, at the Ablion, my daughters season ticket is £23, as is anyone's who's 17 and under.

Makes loads of sense that... get them ingrained in the club

Yup. Couple of seasons to build a routine then quadruple the price so the parents have to pay 😅

Assume Fulham must've been giving them away until recently then.

Season ticket prices for juniors at Fulham last year (Championship) were between £59 to £99 in most places, but £299 in the blocks (E/EL/F/FL) near the half way line of the Johnny Haynes stand.

This year (Premiership) the new Riverside lower (only the bottom 1/3 of the stand is open) had junior season tickets at £500 (adults £1k). The rest of the ground the junior prices were up to £150 or £165, with the blocks near the half way line of the Johnny Haynes stand £500.

Lower prices if you were renewing: https://www.fulhamfc.com/news/2022/may/03/22-23-season-tickets/ The "family" blocks are A/AL/K/KL, so that would have been £385 for an adult renewal, £95 for a junior renewal, or £460 and £150 respectively for non-renewals.

Andy Carroll back at Reading, very pleased with this

£33 for an away ticket at Coventry this season, the most I'll have paid for an away ticket in a while. Burnley are charging £25 for away fans so long as the other club agrees to reciprocate, Coventry (and a few others) have declined and charged more.

QPR is £36 for away fans, and why I will be watching on Sky next friday

Cannot believe we didn't keep him on. Now we can't buy a goal. Stupid decision.

He's on a short term contract until January with us, presumably at which point he'll see if there are any more attractive offers out there.

What are your thoughts on John Swift?

Swift has been one of the better players this season. Good at making plays on a quick break.

Overall though, the whole team lacks energy and desire. Birmingham were shit on Wednesday night but we just didn't turn up.

Loads of Reading fans loved Swift, he has all the skills but I always really questioned his game intelligence and positioning, in our formation he often dropped too deep. WBA seem to be playing him more as a true No 10 which probably helps get the best from him.

It's what she would have wanted etc.
Winning for the new Prince of Wales (maybe).

Good old Charles III is a Burnley fan. Maybe he'll invest

Well, it's a win I suppose. Still Gerrard out.

That game was atrocious.

Very lucky Southampton we’re mildly shitter than we were to be honest. There were a few positives but mainly frustrated at the lack of creativity. The shape is wrong. We’re leaving an enormous gap in the middle of the park, trying to play down the wings badly and resorting to Mings hitting it long. The traffic was a bitch too. Missed the start of the game, could have missed the first 25mins for what it was worth.

Well done for going! Unbelievable that he continues to not start Luiz who will now leave for nothing in next year. May as well have cashed in when we could.
Awful manager. I suppose this win means we'll limp on with him for a while longer now.
