Dyche got out of jail there. He wouldn’t have made those subs unless they scored that disallowed second. Hopefully he learns from this.

Apparently this was the easier of the two hurdles to pass.

Are you surprised? Only have to see the reporting to see how much Sky and the Premier League are almost the same thing.

It’s crazy! This is why I’m so annoyed with the process. It was kept secret throughout and yet the premier league prejudiced the process by saying they wanted a 12 point deduction mid way through. Had the facts been known throughout the footballing world would have all been only expecting us to get a fine or in extreme circumstances a tiny points deduction.

But didn’t Leicester only get a £3.1m fine for a breach of FFP in 2018 for a £21m breach in 2013-14 by the EFL!

The whole thing is ludicrous but this section of the commission’s report is madness. I really can’t see how a unprecedented unpredictable war on the edge of Europe that’s had a worldwide financial effect can be ‘the type of event that businesses have to contend with as part of their daily life’ when the stadium is the second biggest building project currently in the UK (& let’s not mention the first as I think the government might agree!)

I’m now considering ditching my season tickets and buying a Bentley. It’ll probably be more reliable and give me more enjoyment

I have no problem with a rise in price as you should expect that as the Stadium will be way better. I’m not saying I want to pay the same as I do now forever. I already spend around £2500 a year going to the games and that will rise anyway as my son turns 18 next year. A lot depends on family circumstances as to how much I’d be prepared to spend. I would say I don’t think the club will have any problem selling out for the first 3 years of the new stadium due to novelty and supporters that havnt been able to get tickets in recent years. But I think if they raise the prices by £100-£150 a year for the next three years and the team are still only fighting to survive then I think we for the first time in ages won’t fill the ground. I’m not an economist and hopefully the cost of living drops. I worry that if 777 come in they’ll want the fans paying through the nose for everything.

But you’ve not owned a Bentley for the last 30 years! Also the worst sides in the league don’t have a 50k+ plus stadium

With my travel I pay around £70 a home game on top of my season ticket. If it goes up a significant amount I won’t be able to keep going.

How long can we hold onto Branthwaite? He’s looked immense since he’s come in especially for one so young in that position.

Anyone else still awake?

It drives me crazy. How a professional player in arguably the best league in the world can’t use one of his feet is crazy.
