Over 65 Theo to be fair to our lot pricing isn’t bad, it’s what we have to watch especially over the last 5/6 seasons that has been the problem

[theo_luddite]

I don’t even think they know how badly wrong they’ve got it yet either.

Will I be there…probably…do I care anymore…not really

My correspondence with the club says likewise Wakey. As soon as you criticise them they stop answering, it's not personal, but I think some are taking it that way. I'm two visits back North (Tuesday won be one) from being close to that call too. We had 30+ minutes against Crawley (OK call it the first half) and the last 30 minutes against Mansfield where we looked decent. They are both bottom 8 clubs, we shouldn't be looking "just as good as them" for half a game and change, but we do.

An owner that's too remote to get it. I don't give a rat's petui - (however it's spelled) about his Soshul Meedja stuff and coming over here a few times a year, he'll never get it like we have over the years, sunning his ass over there in California.

Reckons he's spent £40m? Deano walked away from £40m. Maybe he's getting the numbers confused a bit. Prima Donna League in 4 seasons? Dream on fella. You've spent two seasons going backwards. Starting to think I'd rather just get the train up to Halifax, have a few beers with my mates, see some of the family Sunday morning and get the train back again with a pub crawl along Piccadilly on the way back. More expensive than driving, but I can spend my season ticket money elsewhere and still go to the occasional game.

Don't know what they are charging you at The Skip themaclad but it was the thick end of £40 for any age group bar kids when we were last there and the kids prices were also eye watering. Eventually spotted they are only charging you £28, which is about what they should charge anyone.

Apparently I can win £1000 in Saturdays lottery against Wycombe. Saturday? Does anyone know how to use a keyboard at Town?

[Lord Snooty]

Twenty eight pounds is sstill too much. Nobody should pay more than twenty quid to watch a football match.

[themaclad]

Trouble is Snoots players are on salaries which means you have to charge more than £20 per match blame Jimmy Hill

[Lord Snooty]

We already contribute to that through our Sky subscription.

The thing is when Sky was set up the recommendations were for the extra tv money to make football more affordable for all, but it turned out the money went to manager, players and agents

[theo_luddite]

Well, there's approximately 6 clubs (often referred to as the Big 6) in England and a slightly larger number combined around Europe who made sure as much money as possible could be shovelled their way for years. The only time it doesn't is when one (or more) have a poor season and don't qualify for the top European competitions. That they are still looked on more favourably by UEFA in financial terms when they do tells you how much of a closed shop it's becoming.

In case you missed it first time round.

So sad to read how disillusioned many/most Huddersfield fans are feeling. You certainly do deserve better.

If you truly felt part of the club and enthusiastic about where it aimed to go and its efforts to get there, I doubt even Yorkshiremen and women would give the cost much of a thought. You don't have a voice (because those in control don't have ears) but you can very lucidly narrate the club's slow and not-so-slow decline. You can even come up with solutions, but as you are all on mute and invisible into the bargain, not much is likely to happen outside of a miraculous change in direction.

Whether making the play-offs would do you much good, I have my doubts. Equally I find it difficult to imagine Wycombe sustaining Championship football beyond a desolate first season.

I hope it bucks up for you. You are great people and display more creativity than your club every time you preview a game. The way you are performing may seem idiotic at the moment, but remember that it is YOUR IDIOT. You can't help caring about it and for it. It very much needs you and you do need it.

All football fans know "The Beautiful Game" is mostly an illusion. Your centre forward hasn't scored in a dozen games, your keeper's flypaper hands are coated in butter and your manager switches formations liked an unhinged choreographer. Your owner has just booked a space trip with Elon Musk and the local paper is reporting the FA is a little too interested in the club's financial affairs. So it goes.

I hope something good happens, but mostly it is being 4-0 down at Tranmere and bringing on four players well in their thirties to freshen things up ...........

[theo_luddite]

.... and you were on a good run Devon. Mind you, we were on a good run of one home win when we turned up at Charlton, or rather, we didn't, and lost by the same score.

Hopefully, with players back who actually run at the opponents with the ball and create chances, as we did in the 2nd half on Saturday, rather than pass it aimlessly around midfield and the back four before hoofing it at their central defenders, we might score a few more. The play-off's were at one point the least of our objectives whereas 6th place is now the peak of what we might hope for.

That Reading are the only team below the top two we haven't beaten once at least gives some source of optimism, but it's unlikely we'll both be in the top 6 (or either of us) come the 3rd of May either. One or more of Charlton, Stockport and/or Wycombe have to fall apart big time for that to happen, Wycombe still having to play Stockport, Charlton, Bolton, Town (tonight) and Orient. Otherwise it's 3 (or 5) scrapping for 6th.

To be honest, we were sold a dream but we've actually been sold a pup. You lot have been there and you've now got some light at the end of your tunnel. Anybody got 4 candles to see the light in our tunnel?

To be honest I don't have much of a problem with next season's card price, I think it's close to what we should be paying. It's what we have to watch that's the problem, and my mate stopped coming a few years back because of it, and he lives in Halifax.

Huddersfield Town Interim Head Coach Jon Worthington has made four changes to his side ahead of this evening’s Sky Bet League One home fixture with Wycombe Wanderers at the John Smith’s Stadium.

Having both returned from injury as substitutes in the win over Mansfield Town at the weekend, wing-back Mickel Miller and forward Dion Charles both get the nod this evening after helping to swing that game in Town’s favour.

Refreshing midfield, too, Club captain Jonathan Hogg is back in from the start, with Antony Evans also called up from the substitutes bench. As a result, Joe Taylor, Tawanda Chirewa and Joe Hodge drop to the bench, with defender Radinio Balker not selected is tonight’s match day squad.

Missing from the weekend’s match day squad, Josh Koroma is reinstated on the bench, and he is alongside Callum Marshall, Ollie Turton and Jacob Chapman in rounding out Jon Worthington’s in-game options this evening.

Town continue without six members of their First Team tonight, with Danny Ward (ACL), Nigel Lonwijk (hamstring), Rhys Healey (knee), Herbie Kane (knee), Tom Lees (knee) and Brodie Spencer (hamstring) all remaining unavailable through injury. Tom Iorpenda has now stepped up his recovery from a back issue, starting for the B Team away at Mansfield Town in the Central League this afternoon alongside forward Freddie Ladapo.
