  1. I`m really looking forward to that one smooth, a ground I have never been to, I imagine they will come and try to rip into us. Could be a great oppertunity for Pilks to rediscover some form and use his pace on the break, if he is picked of course. Hope Tettey has another great game and gets a screamer for us![<:o)]
  2. [quote user="Crabby"]£55 for a ticket against Stoke is asking a lot, will be interesting to actually see how many empty seats there are and what the final attendance figures come out at. Might be a lot will get sold today?   [/quote] 26072 attendance although the announcer at the ground was having trouble reading figures with more than 2 digits and announced it as 26720.There was a really poor turn out from Stoke, but in fairness who would want to travel hundreds of miles to watch that cr@p every week and watch the Chav that is Pullis jumping up down and having a tantrum,  there didn`t seem to be many empty seats to be honest!
  3. He had a great game and is become a key player for us. His willingness to carry the ball strongly forward into the heart of the opposition defense is opening up space for Wes whose performances are just getting better and better. The opposition know about Tettey`s ability to shoot from just outside the box and they are scared stiff of him, as the season progresses I think Wes will be finding himself even more space. What a great combination and credit must go to the manager for shape of the team and the style of play we are developing
  4. [quote user="lake district canary"][quote user="sjs7"]It is abit strange[/quote] Yes, this saga goes back many murky years I feel.    Perhaps one of them could tell us what they have against Bly - who thankfully continues to post despite the incessant barracking.   [/quote] He must have done something very naughty?  In the opinion of those who hound him of course [:(]
  5. [quote user="ZippersLeftFoot"]"Joanna Grey" Have to admire his skill of starting one tosspot thread a day. "TIL 1010"Fascinating and very informative.Glad we have got that worry out of the way before NORWICH CITY PLAY STOKE BLY ! [:@] "BW''s Cat" Shouldn''t you be worrying about your own team bly? I mean, Wigan always do have a few tricks up their sleeves. "The Pink''un Role Model" Jolly good a fire needs oxygen to continue to burn no views or replies and a post disappears - frustrations just fan the flames and boost the egos - but is that yours or blys?? [;-)][/quote] So where does this hatred stem from?
  6. [quote user="PurpleCanary"][quote user="crafty canary"]What surprised me about the CE''s bonus was the bit about retaining premiership status. I''d have thought that was the football management team''s target and therefore bonus. As for the financial performance bonus, does this impact on pricing decisions and player budgets?[/quote]   That at least part of McNally''s pay package includes a bonus for retaining PL status is an assumption of mine, although a very reasonable one. It is not stated in the accounts. Which is precisely why I and other posters are interested in Tangible having been allowed to examine McNally''s contract of employment. He might be in a position to explain what are the targets that McNally has been set to earn his bonuses. [/quote] I would have thought that performance targets for the CE would be in a separate document agreed between himself and the Chairman and these would then cascade down into the business plan for the NCFC management team and organisation as a whole. Whatever his targets are he cant deliver them on his own. They may be more organisational based rather than football performance based. If he has bonus payments built into his contract then it would be reasonable to expect that the NCFC management team have something similar built into theirs. There must be some form of performance management system but maybe the cost of this is just built into the salaries budget as a whole without being separately identified.   I have never seen the final accounts or the budget so forgive me if I am talking cr@p, it wouldnt be the first time![:)]

  9. [quote user="Across The Pond Yellow"]Will the tickets be available to buy online, or should I say, were they available online last round? this Should be my first game of the season, one week after my return from this side of the pond, would like to purchase the ticket ASAP (Impatient me) could always ask a family member to do it for me, but would rather not put the burden on them. cheers in advance.[/quote] You dont want to burden a family member by asking them to get you a ticket, they may decide they are too expensive and think they are doing you a favour by saving you some money! [:O]
  10. It certainly gives an insight into the idea that demand for tickets is insatiable and there is an urgent need to expand the ground.  The local economy is not that great and certainly at the moment we would struggle to fill a bigger ground i recon! 
  11. [quote user="City1st"]Fair points Mr RH   I chose to do the same for the Ajax game, venturing into the Main Stand (padded seats and all( where there may not have been free tea but with my purchased cuppa there were planty of complimentary biscuits. Two tins to be precise.  It would have cost te same in the River End, which us getting a bit dated ... as are many of it''s ''residents''.   I would like to think the club ''got this wrong;'' for the right reasons, and hope that some of the highly principled who stayed away stick to their principles do the same should we reach the semi finals, and then the final.   There does need to be a greater number of ticket prices to reflect as RH says the different seating - and to encourage those who may not normally be able to afford a ticket.   Send your thoughts to Mr Mcnally,he seems to listen   [/quote]
  12. [quote user="nutty nigel"][quote user="Crabby"][quote user="nutty nigel"] No they haven''t. The season ticket holders have been listened to. The casual fans are still paying £45/£55 for Stoke tomorrow. I hope all the casual fans who paid £30 for Spurs will get a Villa ticket before the feet voters...     [/quote] It`s not only the season ticket holders that stayed away, the support as a whole was poor.  [/quote]   Well I reckon there were at least 3 times as many casuals as were at the Arsenal game and probably a lot more than that. How do you know that? You may be right but thats a big assumption.     [/quote]
