Honestly though, I've seen some couch potatoes with them, and what's the point? It's just going to tell them what a lazy fat **** they are, and that they need less sleep and more activity!

You may be onto something here Stateside for the US market.
As an IT guy can't you develop a Fat*****Bit that tracks bags of crisps (chips or doritos etc) double choclate macciatos with extra caramel, hours playing vidoe games etc

Hope there's not too many Cat A or B games this coming season

Laugh I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult to create an app for it.

I can understand the increase in prices, but isn't that about a tenner?

I sat on the North last season was £25-£27, The Bristol City game is £42, that's about a 55-60% rise!

Looks to me like they are trying to increase revenue and attendances through the membership scheme. With a discount of a fiver per game attending 6 games covers the cost and by then they hope to have you hooked as a regular attendee at the reduced price !!
Of course, this upcoming season if they play the promised attacking football and the results are good, that in itself will help with increasing the attendances.

The home game I saw last year when I was back visiting was dire and by all accounts from the MS match reports so were the rest bar maybe a few.

I would imagine most games will be between C & G categories.

I realised shortly after, I was on the North against Ipswich the back end of the other season and it was 25 then, so 17 quid is a big increase indeed for that CAT game.

Those prices are disgusting

Why is there all this silly banter on a thread about signings and leavings? Huh

You all should be ashamed of yourselves. Thumb down

I'll attempt to get us back on topic again. Thumb up

Any suggestions on how we can off load Nuhiu? Huh


A raffle where losing club gets to take him?

Smuggle him out of the ground in a "fancy dress" and enter him in a cross dressing pageant in Brighton?

Slip him a "mickey finn" (look that one up) so when he wakes up he'll be in the Hebrides?

Give him a wacking big helping of tripe and onions? he'll be sick for ages after eating that slop.

Let's get serious guys. Whistle Whistle Whistle

Seems to be a growing air of discontent among Owls in social media.

It's natural for the prices to go up having a new owner whom has invested in the club/squad. It's difficult to justify a spike such as these prices though.

If we do make it to the Prem. What will they be then???
