Season ticket prices were announced on 23rd March last year. Assume they are later this year because they want to save up the good news…
-
Do we have any idea as to why, or do we just assume the surgery he had didn’t work.
-
My son had heard that, will ask him in morning as all I can see is mention of missing Palace and Fulham at least.
-
Percy has just tweeted that Ola Aina is getting another year and Chris Wood was always contracted until 2025, actually (combined with the club sneakily updating the website report on him signing).
-
Some accounting wizardry going on I'm sure.
-
Amorpolizing.
-
Both good news if we stay up and bad news if we go down (4M and 2M pa without relegation clauses would be my guess)
-
Relegation clauses are pretty standard. Even Leicester got reductions of 35-50% in.
-
There was certainly a suggestion that we had not inserted any relegation clauses. Which I found hard to believe. But there you go.
-
I think the difficulty is that when you are newly promoted some players won't accept a relegation clause
-
Yes, that's pretty much become accepted industry standard now.

Article in T'Athletic (theathletic.com/5287841/2024/04/04/nottingham-forest-academy-youth-homegrown-record/) saying that our soon to end unbroken run of home-grown players is currently 4058 games going back to October 1941.
-
They’ve bent the rules a fair bit. If it’s just youth/schoolboy/academy-grown, it goes back about 20 years (still impressive) I think. And to actually feature in the game is even less (possibly just a year at most).
-
Academies are a new concept whereas youth development is not. Billy Walker started the colts because of a shortage of players during the war and he effectively kept the club alive when funds were extremely tight and it could easily have folded. There is an article about Walker's innovative programme int eh first edition of Charles Buchan's Football Monthly and they are right to celebrate his work that started such a strong homegrown line.

B team won 3-2 at Sheffield United in the PL Cup quarter-finals tonight.
Joe Gardner scored the first after a comedy of errors involving Blades keeper and centre-half - keeper missed it, defender and Gardner tumbled over. Gardner first up to shoot into the empty net.
Aaron Bott kept Forest in it with three great saves, while ex-Derby loanee Will Osula (who was excellent) also hit the post, until Osula equalised deep in first-half added time (eight minutes due to a medical incident in the stand).
Gardner got replaced by Ateef Konate about 10 minutes into the second half, and he then scored two wonder goals within minutes of each other. Cut in from the left and curled one into the far corner, then dribbled past two or three before smashing the ball straight through the keeper.
Blades got one back from an Osula penalty after a Zach Abbott foul, but Forest held on fairly comfortably, apart from one shot against the bar, helped by the Blades captain getting two yellow cards within a couple of minutes of each other (each could have been a straight red on another day) late on.
Blades probably the better team overall - particularly Osula - and much bigger stronger and more experienced than Forest, but didn't take their chances.
Other semi-finalists are Chelsea, Spurs and Fulham. -
Good try, but reference to Notts shows he has no clue
