    Its a very good starting point but would need some refinement in the details.

    Who gets the option of this scheme? Anyone? someone with 5 years worth of Season ticket contribution etc.?

    However there are and will always be two issues with this idea.

    1) The potential for abuse - Doesn''t matter how many years you have been going, I can''t see how you could police this from being abused from fans that think I will have a year break we got relegated?

    2) The potential that the seat doesn''t sell to make up the shortfall in value of the season ticket. Maybe call it a part time season ticket and you have to guarantee you will attend half the games at full price, but then you might as well buy a full season ticket.

    In essence, while there is a long waiting list, something like this will not be considered as another person is waiting in the wings and that''s just business, which is what a football club is now.

    At last Mr Angry I agree with someone, and that punishment could be a slap on the wris to a lengthy prison sentance

    Jas,

    I believe its not up to UEFA to change who gets the spots. The only thing they say is a spot has to go to the champions. The other 3 spots I believe are up to the FA on how they are allocated. They decided (probably from heavy pressure of the PL) to do it spots 2-4 in the PL rather than make one of them the FA Cup winners.

    I am sure this is what I read somewhere, but willing to be proven wrong

    Calm down all. I am sure they had the best intentions of appointing by the end of the week. For what ever reason, be it change of people available or the most desired being more tricky to sort out than first thought, it has not happened.

    Like the good board they are they came onto the radio and discussed it with the fans and stated a few days. A few is relative, it means more than 2 days but less than a week, so they have not missed the second deadline they have set themselves.

    If it goes past this deadline, so be it, as long as we are all happy with the people coming in to play better football and get us back in the premiership at the first time of asking.

    This is exactly how I see it and I lived in Felixstowe most of my life, so the majority of my friends supported Ipswich. Most of them are the same, a lot of fun banter of who''s higher and who beat who. The only ones that took it to a state of bitterness and vile, where funnily enough the ones that didn''t attend games and have a great knowledge of football.

    Why becuase lucky teams don''t win anything?

    Wigan - FA Cup

    Chelsea - Champs League

    Man U - Champs League

    Greece - Euro Cup

    History is strewn with lucky clubs winning silverware. If it wasn''t we might as well all go home and not bother and let the top 4 play by themselves for everything.

    Glad someone set up a thread for him.  I was also particularly impressed with him during both legs of the Semi-Final.  Thought his touch and hold up play was excellent and out of everyone on the pitch, I thought he was the closest to a finished article.  Just need to see what he is like in front of goal more, especially as these are the only two youth games I have seen.

    Personally the value is great and it does give us a bit more hope of being on TV with a full crowd, but I seriously doubt we will be. We are the Premiership side and are at home, there are to many potential games the other way round.

    Examples:

    Brighton v Swansea/Arsenal

    Crystal Palace(if they beat Stoke) v Man City

    Leeds/Birmingham v Tottenham

    Macclesfield v Wigan(if they beat Bournemouth)

    Millwall v Aston Villa

    Oldham v Liverpool

    Southend/Brentford v Chelsea

    More chance of an upset that way round and the TVwould love to show an upset.
