£650.00?! Bloody hell, when you see it in print that’s a ridiculous amount of money to watch a season of Second Division football.

It's actually £615, thinking about it.



Bargain!

What part of the ground do we charge 600 + for a season ticket? I remember a few years back it was big news when we charged 500 + for the first time in I think the middle bit of the Trinity.



For ages.

I pay 615 to sit in B5.

In 2011-12 I paid 580 to sit in A3, I am pretty sure the year after that it went over 600 quid.

To be honest buddy I'm not quite sure what you are getting your knickers in a twist about with this one. Personally I think this is going to happen but I'm not sure it's the right decision by the club.

Personally I read something and accepted it is what you meant to say !

Whereas I dared to think hold on let me check this out before I debate something ?

My grievance was being on here having to listen to people go on about Henry when if they thought about it then maybe it really wasn't true .

But hey I accept that many people are prepared to accept Dave woods and his exclusives of the daily star as gospel.

Apparently it has all changed again after a meet with the new owners. I will keep my trap shut from now on. They are making me look bad!

Bastard!! I stuck my life savings on Henry becoming manager based on your ITK. You now owe me £11.57!!!!!

Blame Dave woods

Give it a rest, no one said it was gospel but people did debate the relative merits of Henry and Bruce. You were right and it wasn't true but I'd be amazed if we hadn't spoken to him given the fact that there were plenty of reports about it from multiple sources but most were 'this might happen if' unlike the Star who have been proven wrong.

According to another article he was saved by a fans survey conducted by a local paper...70-30 in his favour...

Henry is a big fan of NBA. I wonder if there is a connection there.

Again Dave woods is your man ?!  ;)

Disappointing news to wake up to, but possibly a sensible decision from the new guys.

Let's see if Bruce can wake up and introduce exciting tactics.

Henry was never going to happen. Usual media speculation and butter ollocks.

Still absolutely nothing to suggest that Henry is replacing Bruce other than Dave woods exclusives daily star article.

No other paper or website has any info or inside knowledge but can only say there is  a known meeting of Bruce having talks with the owners .

 What it shows no one knows anything and Daily star picked up idea of Henry being a manager and villa have new investors  invented a romantic story.

Only reinforces my view it's invented rumour and conjecture for me

Henry has been continually mentioned for more than a week now.  The first time I saw something was in French on Twitter,  about 10 days ago.  The Mirror have also run stories about Henry joining.

If (when) Henry takes over, hindsight would suggest that someone did indeed know something.  He would have been way too much of an outsider to be linked by guesswork.

Last one of this nonsense but probably a post that needs a reply . French tweet means not so much right

And that it was actually a simple story which I explained how the star invented it .

And thats me done with helping people mindset and how to be thinking for themselves.

I get it's a football forum so will accept all ways of thinking !

I mean i've been accepted generally and will always be grateful .

I now will shut up !

More chance of BoJo joining the Labour Party and being appointed as the  Shadow Foreign Secretary by Jez Corbyn.

Morning fella. Seriously bad news and it’s going to be another miserable season that is if he is not gone by October.
