"The Club was also encouraged to consider options as to how the song might be clipped or remixed differently to create a more dynamic and contemporary sound whilst maintaining the history and tradition."
If Simon King isn't on the phone to Justice and/or The Chemical Brothers right now we've failed as a club.

A remix of We’ll be with you? Dear me
We don’t need to be speeding up any more songs with the way every single song we have gets sped up ridiculously already.
Is it really an issue? Asking the players seems a bit pointless i can already tell you 95% of them will have no opinion on the matter at all.

Name me on other business that consults its customers when contemplating a re-brand.
When is the next placate the fans night and it will we be able to listen and contribute online?

Always thought we missed a trick in the late 90s not getting Mike Flowers Pops to cover We'll Be With You b/w Delilah. |

Asking the players seems a bit pointless i can already tell you 95% of them will have no opinion on the matter at all. I'm all for it, just for the lolz. Imagine a reworking of the Tony Hatch/Jackie Trent anthem in the style of the Chemical Brothers 'Private Psychedelic Reel' - they could play it during a particularly strobe-heavy lightshow and watch agahst as the arse-shuddering sub-bass causes swathes of the crinkled grey knackersack brigade to simultaneously shit their freshly purchased from Millwards pants. This, combined with a bunch of Family Stand pre-teens lost in the K-hole and the odd epileptic shuddering like a FIFA glitch, would make quite the spectacle. This is the kind of stuff that will finally drag the club into the 21st century 👍 |

Asking the players seems a bit pointless i can already tell you 95% of them will have no opinion on the matter at all. And even if the players were bothered or thought it was naff , how many would want to go public about it and risk upsetting supporters , or upsetting a group of people who these days seem to always be looking for something to be upset about ..not many I suggest large swathes of ST holders missing numerous games is an interesting one . Most want a range of prices & ticket deals that attract as many people as possible , without adversely impacting the clubs finances or ability to compete or better our rivals FFP wise But for some at least , it seems the current ST prices are now affordable enough to still make financial sense even if you expect to miss 5-8 games , especially if you’ve a prime seat as it retains your seat should our fortunes improve or a miracle happen and one of these seasons we win promotion and demand rockets again ..suggesting for some , or in some areas ST pricing is now artificially too low ..the impact by the increased number of televised games and changes to kick off times is something all clubs will be trying to evaluate ahead of next seasons renewals ..imaginative pricing may be required next season , ie its not a case of increasing all areas , categories etc , but nor is it a case of freezing all Is the balance between ST and matchday pricing weighted too heavily in favour of STs , would an increase in STs say in the east & west stands , whilst reducing matchday pricing in the south stand be better , encourage increased numbers in the new south stand configuration, result in higher actual attendances ( and therefore hopefully support for the team ) whilst maintaining or even increasing overall ticket revenue , help increase fanzone revenues? |

I've more of an issue of having a song called Underdog played before they come out... |

Why are they not bringing back Ken Dodd? Because it sounds too much like he sings “a penis” and in this day in age it’s considered bad to celebrate being born a male. |

Proof is in the pudding. There seems to be a real change in mind set from the Club under the stewardship of Simon King and Team (fully supported by JC) to engage with supporters that suits both parties on numerous issues, financial and quality.
There’s an ideal opportunity for supporters to criticise or even better suggest progressive change. Perhaps more will use the opportunity to air their views with the club for the benefit of all

First we had Ricky Martin's five pillars, now we've got Simon King's three.
The line of "whilst stating that methods are being discussed to mitigate against alarming numbers regularly skipping matchdays despite being cardholders" is slightly concerning. I can't attend every home game due to living out the area, surely the club aren't going to put something in place that penalises people in a similar scenario to me?

The club have sent out a survey to season ticket holders that they believe aren't going to every game asking why they aren't going and for thoughts on how they could make it easier to attend. The survey includes things like kick-off time, day of game, travel distance, transport issues etc. My 87 year old Mum had one of the surveys, which surprised her because she hasn't missed a game yet this season, so it wouldn't surprise me if you hadn't had one.  |

I buy a season ticket to support the club and have done since 1989. I bought one every year that I was at University and barely attended a game. I wasn't there on Saturday and I won't be there next Saturday. What are they going to do? Fine me next season? Stop me from buying a season ticket? Give my seat to someone else? The day they even contemplate doing something like that is the day they've lost me for good. |

Surely if you pay for a season ticket and don’t use it then it’s up to the individual and there is nothing the club can do about it!? Hopefully the club are looking at some online ticketing website which allows fans to sell their season ticket for games they aren’t able to attend. If it’s anything more sinister then I’m afraid they are barking up the wrong tree and need to re-think whatever crazy plan they have! The fans are the last people to target with how things have gone in the last 8 years. |

They do have a queue for season tickets, though. Also, I believe that you have to pay to be in that queue. |

Why not think the best . The club are concerned people who buy tickets dont show and want to understand why so they can take action to help if possible . They are for a start frustrated by the number of 12.30 kos being scheduled and wabt ti lobby accordingly .

The fans are the last people to target with how things have gone in the last 8 years. It’s likely to be more about needing to reevaluate projected catering supplies / revenues both inside and outside the stadium , together with stewarding and turnstile levels, costs ..both this season and going forward ..and trying to work out if absentees will turn into non renewals next season Although the outline info re increased televised games and kick off time changes was available last year , the detail and impact for some only hit home after they’d renewed .. if the gaps are due to the tv changes ( rather than poor form , or the price levels making it financially sensible to renew to retain your seat , even if you know your missing 5-8 games even before any impact of weather or form ) there may be availability within the contracts for clubs to claim additional compensation payments from Sky the changes impact other revenue streams ( catering etc ) this season and impact on renewal rates next season ..or resist further changes , I believe hospitality revenues have been significantly hit at many championship clubs due to the early kos |

I wonder if they are thinking of trying to introduce a system where STH’s have the opportunity to notify the club of non attendance which means the club can try to re-sell the seat at a discounted price for that match (s), perhaps with % reimbursement to the STH. For at least 3 years now there are two seats next to myself which are empty for 90% of the season, either one or two of the same faces attend the other 10%. Enquire at the ticket office about availability and they tell you they are sold to STH’s. An historical glitch in the system or someone who can afford top priced tickets but only attends about four games a season? |

There's enough seats already free (from nobody being there), where would the extra people come from? There aren't any! I'd concentrate on why we need to keep swapping and changing managers, rather than annoy the regular purchasers of a season ticket. |
