OT: City going up or staying down? : Sat Mar 14, 2009 5:27 pm  

1: How's it looking?

2: How does it affect the club? Is it imperative/important/nice/inconsequential/damaging for them to go up? I add the last option as I have heard of football fans commenting that promotion can increase the wage bll and knacker a club that was doing quite nicely where it was.

I think the game against Forest Green is going to be crucial. If they can get a result the Minstermen will probably stay up.

going up solid back four is enough in that league

The idea that clubs `don`t want` promotion has been around for years and in some circumstances may be true. Particularly in cases where promotion would bring more onerous ground requirements for example but that obviously doesn`t apply in City`s case.

Higher wages would be a problem though and where normally higher attendances and sponsorship/advertising revenues would be expected to cover that, in City`s case, with the really cheap ticketing offers I`d guess that the extra fans that might normally be attracted are probably already going.

All of which means putting up prices which hopefully won`t, but might, actually cause a fallback in sales. Players and fans always want the highest level obtainable though and if fans thought their club lacked ambition it could cause some to lose interest. A bit of a minefield really.

McCall booed off?

Lost 4-1 at Bournemouth - what's going on?

F*cking hurting from that, seen the goals on SSN, listened to the game, defence was atrocious.

McCall's now said he's ready to quit if we don't make the play-offs, but I truely believe our home form is good enough to get us in there.

I pray that is!

BRADFORD 0, PORT VALE 1 ANGRY City fans jeered and hurled their season tickets as the Bantams went down to a shock fourth defeat in 11 days. http://www.claretandbanter.co.uk/showthread.php?t=23779 There was THREE Season ticket booklets on the pitch - just by the Dugouts. A Vale player picked them up and handed them to the kit man. So although you may doubt the NOTW - this is actually TRUE.
