Re: Robins Report Podcast

At this level? And to the extent some on this board believe it? Pretty much every time we lose, it's "oh, this ref is bent". Conversely, when we win, the ref hardly gets a mention! This government is bent, our national utilities are bent, local councils are bent, big business is bent. To ...

Re: Leyton Orient v Cheltenham Town

Well they say there are key moments in games and at 0-0 the mercurial George Lloyd misses a sitter. If he's injured again it could be a blessing in disguise. Then Curtis misses the sitter of the season. With Aidan Keena continuing his quest to go into Cheltenham folklore along with Jason White our ...

Re: Leyton Orient v Cheltenham Town

How can you play over 90 mins of football and not get a shot on target. So poor. Why as someone mentioned play a midfield who were poor on Monday again with having a game next Tuesday, flogging a dead horse comes to mind. Should have left them for Tuesday and started with Harrop, Bonds and either T...

Re: Peterborough - home tickets

Again, I tend to agree RCS. The counter argument is that fostering new support is abstract and difficult to quantify. Hard cash from tickets sales isn't. Just trying to empathise with the club's position. You can imagine the conversation: Board: "Why have we got 500 empty seats in the Colin Fa...

Re: Peterborough - home tickets

There are still four games left after Bristol Rovers. It’s not a crunch game in the sense that anything will be decided. Peterborough very well could be. I’ve advocated before on here for always keeping the CF for home fans wherever possible. If we were confident of selling out seats to home fans f...

Re: Peterborough - home tickets

The ticket office are waiting to see what the situation is. The game could be critical for both of us, one of us, or neither of us. And that will massively impact demand for tickets from either side. Say we’re already relegated or safe by then. But Peterborough have a chance of autos. It’d be mad t...

Re: Peterborough - home tickets

It is not complex of you don't make it complex. We NEED to win out remaining home games, we NEED to make the ground as intimidating as possible.
It is not a case of either give away both blocks or we lose all that revenue. We will sell some.
