"osset town and osset albion both in action today"
i used to work with someone who occasionally played for Albion. It was quite amusing when they told me ex-town player Malvin Kamara turned out for them this weekend.

Danny from HTFC World is a bit unkind to Wolves fans in this cartoon match report of last week's game.

our home gates have been underwhelming so far this season too
the only remotely defensive thing i would add is that i missed the chance to watch us at Hull at the end of last season, for the first time in 30 years, because we was that bad on Boxing Day when i went to Molineux - i'll watch us get beat, god knows that's easy enough, but i wasn't paying the money for 90 minutes of defending the edge of our box.
anybody not on the Zengabus is a dick who can fuck off tbh, tho i have heard some chuntering about nasty away clubs overcharging for our games because we're so massive

There is definitely something fishy about our attendance figures, they have been decent by our standards but they don't seem true. I think the club are doing that add the non-attending season ticket holders to the total figure thing that some clubs do. And with the cheap ticket offer that is a lot more season ticket holders than usual. Happily where I sit has banks of empty seats and not many arseholes, which has been a recurring issue with my match day experience in the last decade.

let's be honest in 2016 maybe there are a few less people who can punt 30+ quid for a football ticket once a fortnight, especially if they have kids
― There Will Be Ducks (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 4 September 2016 11:32 (eight years ago) link
Absolutely. I am lucky enough to get a free carers season ticket because otherwise I'd be priced out at standard prices, although this year our most expensive adult season ticket was £179 - which won't be the case next season.
― calzino, Sunday, 4 September 2016 11:38 (eight years ago) link
most expensive? that's a massive deal, good on Hudds
― you can't drowned a duck (Noodle Vague), Sunday, 4 September 2016 11:41 (eight years ago) link
yeah the child season ticket only cost me £69 this year, and the under 8 ones were only £23. But it isn't like our owner can't afford it, but props to him.

woefully tedious tbh but our ceo lee hoos aka the revenuedriver gave an fairly detailed breakdown this week on stadium operational costs (which our ticketing revenue falls £3m short of every year...) and the impossibility in his view of "£20 is plenty" etc outside the epl. not applicable to every club but a rare insight anyway. if drainage fees sounds like a good time it's from 2:40 on
― r|t|c, Sunday, 4 September 2016 13:41 (eight years ago) link
Lol excellent. I'm not especially moany about what tickets cost, nobody makes you go and this is the era we're in. But it must be brutal on families where there's a couple of kids and they're keen, and I wouldn't pay the going rate to watch, say, Pulisball week in week out

weirdly similar to my own thought process this morning except there's no prospect of going to Wolverhampton today and i'm wrestling with the possibility of an all-day rave just up the road instead.
can't get hype for the Prem title decider.

if we're comparing dreads (t driesen has us all beat tbf) i'm off to play irl football for my school's old boys' team - somehow they still keep inviting me back despite the fact that they're all v good amateur-to-semipro level athletes and i'm a plump waster who can just about keep the ball out of the net. these occasions are always slightly thrilling (the highest level of sport i will ever play, great to punch miles above level) but always, always daunting. it hasn't QUITE happened yet, but some day i will just have the howler of howlers and they will have to take me round the back and shoot me

wondered whether the international break was going to give Zenga his chance to develop the newbies into the kind of team he wants, looks like the answer was yes
guessing this team will be something like
Cavaleiro - Gladon - Costa
Teixeira - Coady - Oniangué
Borthwick-Jackson - Baath - Stearman - Doherty
Ikeme
god bless Coady sat in the middle of all that showboating
