Yep and that's the important part. The club said they were meeting what was necessary when we were in the CLs this season. Income will rise again this season with Sela money and CL cash so that's another bonus. Next season will be the first season of the Adidas money on the books as it starts after this seasons results. We'll definitely have space to expand with funds this pre season but we'll have to keep it manageable with lack of CL next season. The money will increase again next pre season and in the mean time we'll have to keep increasing our income streams.

Think that's generally the reason behind the gardening leave for a year. Probably makes more sense to not allow him to work for a year than to make them pay us more.

I'll be honest, with the Brighton tickets. I believe it's more a case of people with low points purchasing the tickets to get their numbers up than anything else. Until the club changes their terms and conditions so that points are only accrued on the attendance of the match and not the purchase of the ticket as it is now, people will buy tickets and be no shows.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of this one. Looks like they've squashed a football stadium inside the Birmingham Bullring. Much preferred the ground we were in, in America where everyone got top quality facilities and corporate got out of this world facilities. This probably has them but it's only really shown the ugly exterior and some seats. Balconies are pretty cool mind, wouldn't really work over here though.

The penalty being ruled out annoyed me more.

Yep I agree with what most have said, the big surfers for big games. The surfers do seem to draw people out of the pubs a little earlier when something big is mentioned which may be what encourages the atmosphere a little. Keep the rest of the flags for all the rest of the games. Not sure I agree with TheGuv about the big flags only being in the Strawberry though, I think it's been made to look spectacular when it's been all round the stadium. You'd hope the crowd are up for Sunday though without anything needed!

Whilst I agree with this, it would be nice if someone could get a hold of me if they needed to. At the minute it's like being back in the 90s (Though that's not all bad :))

Hasn't it already been shown that the Arena site is already taken for housing development and also isn't big enough for a new stadium either. Pretty sure it was on one of those Youtube videos about the expansion.

Didn't Targett miss 2 weeks of football with that

Under Ashley he'd have scored plenty. Long balls up, basic crosses into the box. Burnley football basically.

It'll be good to have a cracking atmosphere next to the away fans again. When Ashley changed all those seats to family seats when he got a bit of abuse, the atmosphere wasn't great. It started to get better at the end of last season so hopefully with some new fans in there and not just families it'll be good again.

That would include those bought on members sale though. It was a percentage of tickets that had to be made available each game. Don't know if the rule still exists.

Phew, thank you

I'm in Leazes. I was assuming that but I'd seen an old map of the ground which suggested I was in cat 1 seats which was like £800

Does anyone have details of the seating categories ? I'm curious how much my ticket will be next season as I'm in my final year in the cheap seats.
