Notice if you are under 15 you have to be with an adult in c1871. Hopefully means it becomes a bit more behaved over there now

You would hope it would have some impact, but most of the people who seem to be 'giving it large' are between 16 and 21 - who've drunk about three or four pints before the game and drink more at half-time. If the club wanted to limit the anti-social behaviour that occurs in Club 1871, they'd stop alcohol sales in that stand (and remove access to the units behind the East Stand that sell alcohol).

I've noticed at away games, the handful of times the home club hasn't had alcohol sales in the ground there's been much less anti-social behaviour during the game from our fans. I'm fairly certain it would have a major impact, not least as a sizable number of people wouldn't sit in Club 1871 because of it and would be further away from the away supporters as a result (and wouldn't be within distance to engage in that behaviour).

No finance option available.

Does seem odd, albeit I think it was only last season I found out finance was even an option. I imagine if you contact the club, as you'd like have to anyway to arrange for it, they'd give you details on that.

It'd be a brave (or extremely expensive) lender that would take on sales for a club in our financial predicament when you consider that if we go bust or into administration it's the credit company that has the contract with (and so the liability to) STHs, but would only be a teeny tiny creditor with the club and likely to get only a few pence in the pound back, eventually.

The club has apparently confirmed they won’t be offering finance, probably for this reason.

As you’re basically saying, I think the finance provider loans the club money for the whole season and is repaid by the buyer each month.

I think folk who’d need a finance option could get a credit card with 0% interest over 12-months and pay monthly that way. You wouldn’t be charged a set up fee this way either.

I hope that’s not financial advice clyde. As I’m sure you know giving “Advice” is a regulated activity. Only firms that are regulated by the Fincancial Conduct Authority (FCA) can offer this.…

Yep. Which is exactly why the club need to use a third-party company and can't offer credit directly to supporters themselves - it's a regulatory minefield.

I said they could do it, not that they should do it. Merely stating it's an option available.

Been confirmed each EFL team will be on Sky at least 20 times next season as part of the new TV deal

Appears that the all of the opening weekend; all of the final weekend; all midweek matches; all bank holiday matches and all matches played during international breaks will be live. That's probably at least twelve of them right there - given any games during the international break will be moved to midweek if we have enough call ups.

Supposedly all matches broadcast up until the third round of the FA Cup (usually the first Saturday in January) will be announced before the season starts.

Should hopefully reduce the number of games moved, but still a complete pain in the arse.

Be pissed if that halves the games on Royals TV

I seem to recall that Ifollow won't be returning because of this new deal. Wouldn't be surprise if Royalls TV disappears as well. You may have to be content with Access All Areas.
EDIT: or Tim and Mick on audio, of course!

oxf*rd that shit.

I can’t see it finishing as the club will want to rake in as much money as possible.

No because you could use ifollow midweek domestically or on a match that wasn't a 3pm Saturday or selected TV slot. Now you can't.
