Already sold 2000 + expensive membership packages, and the club expect to sell pretty much all the season tickets, what a comparison to make regarding Darlo.

Enjoy league 2, looks like it'll be a long old season for you.

Time will tell, as it will as to how long bha can remain in the top 7 with the way results are currently going.

P.S Reading a bigger club?! Haha...good one! They have enjoyed temporary, larger status due to circumstance in recent years. The balance will be redressed back to normal from this coming summer onwards.

Isn't Oxford's best player Jake Wright, who could get nowhere near our first team?

UMM, no. He does ok when he isn't injured, Mclean from Plymouth, and a Doncaster midfielder are currently the best, both championship players. But it really is horses for courses really, as we have moved on, better players are being brought in, such as the above.

Financially we have the finances so why not.

Why is it that bha supporters win a few games and suddenly feel they are already promoted a division, or have the right to get promoted. Egg on face coming up me thinks.

He's done that now surely, hence Chelsea seemingly talked to bloom about him.

Wrong. He spoke to us at a gathering in London last week where he expressly stated he wasn't approached, neither would he be interested in a No.2 role (only exception being if the No.1 was Mourinho).

Next question.

Looking at the league 2 table these 'championship' quality players aren't exactly setting the division alight.

When's your stadium going to be finished?

With all of the hype recently, over your climb to the top and seemingly more recently demise, in terms of games lost/drawn, will the albion return to the lower table mediocrity that perveyed before Poyet arrived?

Not only looking at his ongoing growing frustration, in the Argus, with the boo boys, but with him being linked to most top jobs that come up, he will be snatched up by a championship team/premiership team sooner rather than later, such as the two mentioned above.

Your average gate has been consistent over recent years, around the 6500 mark, even when you have done well, yet even though the capacity is now over 8000, you never fill the ground.

With that number of people rattling around in your new stadium, this is assuming the away teams you have played this season will bring the same number of supporters as this season, how much money has your chairman budgeted for losing each home game.


I'm sure Poyet would like to manage in the Championship/Premiership one day, with a bigger club, such as Reading, would your chairman stand in his way?

:laugh:

FRUIT OF THE BLOOM
In response, two points:

1) Poyet doesn't want to move to a Championship club. He's even suggested it would have to be a big Prem club to tempt him

2) If you think we'll only get 8,000 in our new home you are a crazed loon. Try 15,000+ on for size, with plenty of sell-outs in the first season.


I honestly think it will be nearer 20k every week, I can see 15k season tickets going easy

Not really. Am mainly referring to fan bases. Reading's is artificial and receeding, ours is returning from the Withdean ordeal. Many, many fans who have stayed away from the non-experience that is Withdean, have pledged to return.

Evidence of this already exists with 32,000 at Millennium in '04 for play-off, an increase of over 1,000 (to 5,000) season tickets this season from fans readying themselves for priority on season tickets to The Amex, well over 2,500 premium season tickets already taken for The Amex (£1,000 up front + £100 p.m I think) and a strong demand for more, huge increase in commercial interest and enquiries, 11,000 Junior Seagull members....yes 11,000 not 1,100!

Regardless of whether we get promoted this year or not, what makes Reading a bigger club than us?

A) Fanbase? They couldn't even sell out the home leg of their last playoff semi-final.
B) Stadium? Will be pretty similar next year.
C) History? They had their first ever season in the top flight three or four years ago.
