    Rad is a business man and will make good business decisions you are a footy fan and want good footy decisions (me too) I support the team fook all else matters
    buying back ER makes good business sense will it help the team at present I would say no in the future of course it will.
    End of last season you were maybe 2 or 3 good players away from promotion should you not have bought back ER and spent the dosh on quality players (footy fan says buy players) What Rad is doing will it be successful (Businessman says yes) but the footy how will that go ? fook knows just have to wait and see <ok>


    I did tell you <ok>

    Not selling half season tickets over the last couple of years was stupidity, the sort of stupidity only Cellino was capable of.
    A lot of people dip their toes in season ticket ownership with a Christmas present and renew for years after once they get hooked.

    Glory,

    I'm not going to argue with you. I just don't care what you think about the current situation. In fact, I'm sure most of us don't.

    Despite your best efforts, most of us are quite happy about how things are going, and many of us are quite excited about it. Things are going better than they have for the last 12 years, and this period of uplifting news is hugely positive & sustained. So why do you have this overwhelming need to destroy our hope & happiness? And no, I don't want the answer, it's a question you should be asking yourself.

    So ticket prices are going to go up by what, £2? The uproar I'm hearing suggests the prices have doubled. And the ticket price being bandied about is an 'on the day' top-priced ticket. Didn't see you mention the 'common man' lowest price ticket. Tells a story in itself. Gentrified? That argument might have been current during the 'Premiership prices' era. It's no longer news, it's established fact. It's like moaning about a change to the offside rule that was made 10 years ago & becoming rabid about it. I just hope for your sake you don't want to go to Wimbledon, the West End theatre, or a gig by a big band. You'd have a stroke if you looked at the ticket prices.

    So far, Radz has spent £40m buying assets. That's more than we could ever have hoped for, and most certainly more than out annual income. How can you not be positive about that, either in principle or in day to day reality? We've not sold any 'big' players (Taylor doesn't count - he wanted to leave).

    I could continue, but I have better things to do with my time. I'm very excited about the new season and what it might bring. The last thing I need is come on here & wade through mindless moaning in between the endless political takeovers of loads of otherwise interesting threads.

    Thrill yourself if the 'moment' ever comes, but stop ruining our enjoyment of what the majority believe to be a very uplifting & exciting time.

    It does make you wonder, people moan about owners not spending millions of their money to improve a team, but when they are asked to spend an extra couple of quid it's shock horror "I'm not doing that to support my team".

    <applause> well said Wj and right every word of it,we want success,we wanted the ground back,we wanted new players.well he's done what we wanted,and it costs money,if the price has to go up to close the spending gap,then it has to go up.If you want to watch Fleetwood and Wimbledon reserves and dream of finishing 4th from bottom,then go watch millwall.I will pay a few pounds more,and at least have hope.<ok>

    What ?I was looking at best case scenario,3-4 more players and a lot of luck I think you have an outside chance of 4th from bottom.and I'm sure you would be over the moon with that.:emoticon-0148-yes:

    Just concentrate your misery on Brexit

    More and more scope there every day

    Footie is for fun, he's done enough to make most fans positive, hence record season ticket sales, accept you're wrong for once

    You need to reserve mindless optimism for your Brexit bollox

    Millwall don't even dream of 4th from bottom.

    40% plus of them at junior rate. Not saying thats a bad thing.
    The club have been very proactive this year.
    They rang me to say i attended 16 games last year and would i consider renewing my lapsed st and even offered the renewal rate. But i wont be here enough to warrent it.
