Not that I’d ever consider going at that price but is that allocation not a bit low? Should we not be offered closer to 3k or so? In terms of the price, I’be been informed by a Leeds supporting friend that Saints opted not to agree to their reciprocal away ticket proposal offered in the summer. By not reducing ticket prices for Leeds fans at St Mary’s (albeit I think we only charged £30 or so) so that they paid less than adjacent home fans, they in turn haven’t reduced theirs and so away fans are paying what the home fans are paying a block over. https://thefsa.org.uk/news/leeds-united-offer-reciprocal-away-ticket-deals/ On one hand I can see why we didn’t reduce prices - £30 is reasonable and ties in with what was charged in the prem. However if we had reduced their prices to say, £25, then that’s what our fans would be being charged up at Elland Road rather than a kings ransom.
We presumably would have been happy to agree a reciprocal arrangement of £30. Given that's what we charged them, there's no reason to think that we would have said no to them charging us the same. Therefore, any failure to agree to such an arrangement is surely down to Leeds?
Fascinating forward line. It would be weird if ever they played as a unit, one form or another, and actually score some goals, just thinking etc!
I think crucially it comes down to us not offering a cheaper price than what our home fans pay. No discount for them means no discount for us at theirs. I believe this part stems from many clubs often charging high prices when Leeds are in town and hence they seek a reduction for their travelling faithful. This does admittedly seem absurd in this instance when the starting price was already reasonable but hey ho.

Smacks of agent talk this one. Perhaps they know the writing is on the wall in the summer? Russell lives in Brighton so it's an easy link there. Martin was a Wilcox hire after all, the new DOF might want his own man and if we don't go up, chances are he's gone anyway.
I’d be really interested to see if his style works with even better players. There is every chance he’s a really good manager and our players just aren’t quite up to scratch to pull off his style. It’s really difficult to say
But he would also be up against better players. Our squad is 10x better than Brightons in relation to the league each side competes in
I know the Russ rumour is likely bullshit, but I would laugh my bollocks off if true. Saints fans criticise SR regarding our manager recruitment, often using Brighton as the comparison of how to do it right. Then Brighton go and hire our manager. It's just too funny imo.
Literally been banging this drum for months. With one or two better attacking players, we'd be up with Leicester, comfortably.
Really hard to say for me. He has made a number of big mistakes recently imo which reek of someone trying to be too clever. But I cant argue with how he’s turned the team around and improved us over the season. **** knows. Glad it’s not my job to review it though.
In a way I’d like to see this happen, as I have no bloody idea if he’s brilliant or rubbish, or somewhere in between. This would clarify it at least.
Not sure what point Matt is making. Does the government control the weather…if it does, I want to post a complaint.
