If/when we go down I fully expect it to be another 25 years before we go back up again.
15k in the current ground was sparse enough.
-
If we go down, we’d come back up the following year. Even with a fire sale you usually have a good go at it when coming down with decent players.
And if we didn’t we’d get way more than 15k how many times was it actually that low? And football is as popular as ever.
For me, part of the reason we were out the top flight for 25 years was because we stood still and the went backwards off the pitch. Good off pitch investment and infrastructure will only help.

Looking at a couple of random seasons from 10-15 years ago 15k was rare but I'd say 18/19 was the mode.
People complain now about the price of tickets, they sure as shit won't get cheaper if we go down (" We're serious about promotion, are you?" ring bells!?).
First season will hold up as people expect/hope for a rapid return, but it will drop off from there if we don't.

On the subject of post-relegation attendances in the Championship, there are swathes of empty seats at Leicester tonight.
Football on show is shit, so that might explain it.

It’s a protest/boycott led by the halfwits at Union FS.
-
Union FS, they sound well hard.
-
The onion fucksticks? No doubt.
-
They try and be like those twats from Palace. But there’s a lot less of them and the older Leicester fans keep punching them as they also think they are a bunch of pricks. Which is fairly amusing.

According to The Times we have achieved the greatest value for money from our squad in the last 12 months.
-
Accordig to this: www.transfermarkt.co.uk/premier-league/einkaufswert/wettbewerb/GB1 we have the 8th most expensive squad in the premier league, so that seems generous. (West Ham 9th...)
-
Isn’t that backing the point? As that suggests we’ve bought well as market values have increased.
-
Think that's partly a function of the way transfermarkt values players. Playing premier league games increases value, that's why almost every squad on that list has increased its value.
But we've steered the 8th most expensively assembled squad to 17th place. That's bad in my book.
Obviously the times is covering the calendar year, so our performance in the early part drags us up the league. But that's not much consolidation with what's happened after the ManUnited win on 1st April.
-
Its a pretty pointless site. I’d be annoyed if we only got £55m for Murillo and £60m for Ando. And we aren’t getting £12m for Taiwo.
-
To be fair, the bit you first highlighted as a positive and then discounted as pointless is the bit Simon was ignoring all along. The point he's making is we spent the 8th most money and are sitting in 17th.

Sangare played the full 90 minutes of Ivory Coast's 3-0 win over Burkina Faso. Next up they have Egypt on Saturday, who beat Benin 3-1 yesterday.
-
Ivory Coast seem to be slight favourites but fingers crossed for Egypt.
