The costs of putting in the seats is being paid for by selling the seats this year.  So we will make no money from the extra 1500 seats this year but will from on-going seasons. So i would guess the cost of installing the 1500 would be around £400,000-£500,000 which is what the club will make back from season ticket sales for them seats.

[quote user="McCanary"]Got mine this morning. They are doing them alphabeyically an dthe kids ones are sent separately cos they have a few goodies in them...from the horses mouth on reception ten minutes ago!![/quote]   We''ll that''s bollocks as i got mine and kids today and the packs were all the same, just yellow for mine and red for the kids tickets as normal.

[quote user="Dogger "]Have faith Paulo - he is capable of scoring at this level.[/quote] I know i''ll get stick for this Dogger but really don''t rate the kid.  Yeah he can take a good free kick but his work rate is poxy, he makes dickson etuhu look like a midfield dynamo. It used to really wind me up last year watching Holt break his bollocks to clsoe down and hassle the keeper and defenders and when Martin should have been doinf that he was just standing there.  THe number of Holt had to close down from the other side of the pitch coz Martin was standing there scratching his arse. I hope he does prove me wrong would love him to grap 15-20 goals next season but can''t see it.  If the rumours earlier in June were correct and Spuds offered £4m for him we should snap their hands off.

martin won''t score more than 7 or 8 goals at championship level doesn''t work hard enough.  Holt will get about 15, which is why we need an experienced striker at this level.

[quote user="fearofambition"]Sheff utd v Sheff Wed, Cardiff v Swansea,Chelsea V Spurs, West Ham Millwall, to name to few very high risk derbys were both played at normal, or evening times, yet we always play at 11.30am, 12pm at the latest. Exactly. It''s a joke.[/quote]   Hate to disagree but barring the carling cup match which couldn''t be changed, the last tiem West Ham and Millwall weer in the same divison both games kicked off at half 11, as did the Cardiff v Swansea matches. Chelsea v spuds no real trouble at them games so hardly a high risk derby, as with the sheffield derby. So sorry pal, yo ur talking out of  your arse. I don''t mind the changes and the Friday game is a pain in the arse as I come up from essex so will have to leave early from work but i''m not complaining, FFS some people are moaning and they arent even going to the bloody games lol

[quote user="Matt Juler"]We were out in the garden building a shed, was bloody boiling in the shade from about 10am!  [/quote]   Yeah it was baking, we started about half 10 but by midday it was about 32-33 degrees, still was worth it took some good pics and raised some money, feet are still killing but would have walked double the distance if I had too. Thanks for your donation as well Matt, much appreciated.

Hiya   Competed the walk yesterday in temperatures topping 32 degrees, was a good day walking around the sites of Central London, took about 3 hours from start to finish and ache a bit now.   Thanks for everyone who has sponsored me am nearly up to £900 and with gift aid over £1,100.  There is still time to donate and the web page is up for a few more weeks   www.justgiving.com/Paul-Handscombe   Thanks again J Paul, Harry and Charlotte x    

Morning   Just an update for you.  Thanks to your amazing generosity I have smashed my £750 target and am now up to £877 which is 117% of my target.   The walk is on Sunday and should be a scorching day.  The walk is around central London and Stars at St Thomas’ Hospital, crossing Westminster Bridge, go round Parliament Square, through Whitehall and the Horse Guards across the pretty flower beds of St James’ Park and end up at Buckingham Palace. From there I go past St James’s Palace and onto Piccadilly, Trafalgar Square before cruising through the streets of Soho and finishing at Fitzroy Square, which is where the British Skin Foundations head offices are.   I will take some snaps along the route and it should be a good day.   There is still time to donate and every little helps this underfunded, underpublicised condition.   www.justgiving.com/Paul-Handscombe   Thank you again all who have sponsored me from the bottom of mine and my 2 kids hearts.

[quote user="Mister Chops"]Do please keep us updated on your progress. [/quote] Up to nearly £800 with 10 days left til the walk, any donations greatly received, thanks   www.justgiving.com/Paul-Handscombe  

Have reached my target now on 101%, would be great to get to a grand, with 3 weeks still til the walk

[quote user="Oli Oli Oli Oli"][quote user="paulo79"] Bailey is shit, I have mates who are Charlton season tickets holders who can''t stand him, when I was in with the Charlton fans they were all saying the same thing, so no he is not class. Also he''s ginger [/quote] this sounds like another ''eeds beckford moment ''we dont like him hes rubbish'' when they are getting sour because they dont want to lose easily there best player. the lad doesnt have the best attitude in the world, quite cocky, but hes scored 12 goals, and he tore us apart at there place, left sided attacking minded player that doesnt mind getting his foot in. would be a brilliant signing. [/quote]   He didn''t tear us apart at there place for gods sake,  the fans were screaming at Parkinson to take him off.  Also I turst the fans over the players as  they see him week in week out and it wasn''t as if it was one or two people moaning it was a large section of the crowd, also it''s not sour grapes either as with Beckford Leeds knew he was going (plus beckford is crap and needs 20 chances to score a goal) whereas with Bailey Charlton fans expected to go up and keep him.

Hi As you know last year I took part in the walk for skin in aid of the Ichthyosis Support Group and the British Skin Foundation, and with your generosity raised over £700. Myself and my 2 kids were born with the very rare condition Ichthyosis which is very rare and for which there is no cure.  We don’t get as much publicity or funding for research as others so any little that I can do is a big help. The walk is through the centre of London on Sunday 27th June.   Anything no matter how small would be greatly received, you can donate through my just giving page http://www.justgiving.com/Paul-Handscombe or in cash. Here are the links to the charities:  http://www.ichthyosis.org.uk and http://www.britishskinfoundation.org.uk/Events/WalkforSkin.aspx Many thanks in advance Paul, Harry and Charlotte.  OTBC!!

oh well done whos the big man so i put one thing wrong, aren''t you fucking wonderful. I bet your in the same group of inbred cunts that boo and get on the teams back when we don''t push forward in the last ten minutes of games when we are winning and expect us to hoof long balls upfront to try and score again. And I did not compare him to messi and I knew there would be at least one person to say that, so you are ok with another player having to do the work of another, I am not knocking his goal contribution as I stated in my earlier post, he is lazy and if he worked a bit harder he could score more goals. And i don''e expect him to go and charge down everytime on the hope of blocking it, but on saturday their goalkeeper was wastign time coz he was not under pressure and other players further away had to go and do what martin should have.

TBH i don''t care if anyone agress or disagrees with what I have to say but the OP is right Chris Martin is a lazy fucker - fact. I like the kid and he has scored a lot of crucial goals  this season, but his work rate is abysml.  You look at the top teams, take Barcelona (now before anyone starts shouting that we are not Barcelona the principals are the same)  Messi gets tackled on the edge of the opposition box then chases the bloke all the way back to close down and try and win  the ball back. As a football coach I tell all my kids to chase back and close down.  He simply does not do that.  On saturday for example their goalkeeper is dicking about and not picking it up, Martin was 10-15 yards away scratching his arse, Holt ran 45 yards to close the keeper and make him pick it up. As I said i''m not knocking him but if he put himself about as much as holt does he would make more chances for himself and score more goals.

It''s all about opinions, I thought Lappin had a good game on Saturday and it was McNamee that drifted infield too much. I also think that despite his goals that Chris Martin is a lazy fucker and if he worked half as hard as Holt he would have had another half a dozen goals. Now lots of people don''t/won''t agree, but that''s what forum are all about.  Lappin is the best crosser of a ball we have in the team he also works his nuts off, in my humble opinion he would be in my team every week and it shows what a cunt the rodent was to treat him like he did, I think he will play a big part next season, and hopedully get a goal or two because that is the only thing i think thats lacking in his game.

[quote user="Seat0123"]I haven''t posted on here for months but I am compelled to note my disgrace. For the sake of £11 a month between August and February off your direct debit payments we''re £717,603 worse off. I''m disgusted with you. I hope the little point you feel you''ve proved was worth it. I''ve never been so ashamed of fellow "supporters". I feel sick right now. Yes, we can be cynical about the money going straight into the playing budget. Yes we can all feel aggrieved about the situation at the football club. I wish we had a different board/owner in place the same way that I wish we were playing in a different league and I wish that we had Torres up front and Vidic at centre back. We are where we are, and your £11 a month is going to do nothing to help anyone. [/quote]   Shut the fuck up and get off your high horse you mug.  I travel from essex to every home game and quite a few away games and have 3 season tickets so yes after the thousands I have spent over the years goingto games an watchin utter bollock for the last 2 years I am claiming my rebate of £80 and if anyone doesn;t like wll they know what they can do.   Twat

Add me to the disgrace list too.  If you think it''s a disgrace to drive from Essex for every home game and go to a few away games too and still do it after watching this dross we have played this season. I worked out I have done over 7000 this season watching the Canaries so yes I am going to take my £60-£80 back for the hundreds of pounds I have spent this year watching an inept team with inept managers.
