Wed Dec 12, 2012 7:57 pm

Ticket sales for Peterborough this Saturday are selling well but are not near the figures that people think they are. I have read that there are less than 1,000 tickets available and some believe there are just approximately 700 tickets left but this is not the case.

There are in fact over 2,200 tickets available for the game on Saturday, there are plenty of seats available in the community section and the extended family section which goes into what is normally the away section. Peterborough are expected to bring approximatelt 100 fans for the game.

For those who try and judge ticket sales by looking at e-ticketing fail to take into account Premier seats and the community section as these are not advertised on the site.

The Crystal Palace game will have a bigger attendance than the Peterborough match unless there is a massive rush of tickets in the next two days for this coming Saturday.

The game against Millwall is currently selling slowly and is way behind in the number of tickets sold than the other two games.

Kim Bo-Kyung is currently having English tuition lessons in Cardiff University and the club are very happy with the progress he is making and the effort he is putting in to fit in with the culture.

I have learned over the last couple of days that City have made enquiries about a few players, one won't surprise too many and that is Marvin Sordell, I told people at the game against Coventry over 12 months ago that Malky Mackay would try and sign Sordell last January. Malky obviously tried but the deal collapsed. But the club has made enquiries to Bolton regarding the availability of Sordell.

Another player is Danny Graham, the club asked what the situation is regarding Graham and have been told that if Swansea were to sell, providing they bring in their targets, they would want to recoup the £3.5million they paid for him.

The situation of Darren Bent's position at Aston Villa has alerted many Premier League clubs but I have heard that Cardiff City have made an enquiry about Bent also.

The names I have mentioned above have nothing to do with my previous thread regarding exciting signings in January either.

Don't forget as well that the club are participating in 'The Big Wrap' and if you can afford to take anything along with you on Saturday for a child of any age please do so to support this excellent cause. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

I read on the official site that hospitality is sold out for Peterborough, plus the sales on e-ticketing are at the lowest number of seats available this season so we must surely be looking at 24,500?

Yes Jack if ticket sales continue selling well and there is a good walk up, we should reach 25,000, City have today just sent emails around to 60,000 fans reminding them how cheap it is this Saturday.

We are around 24,300 including the away support.

My mind is at rest then, thank you leader :notworthy: :notworthy:

I've always thought Malky would go back in for Sordell especially since he's struggling to get starts at Bolton!

Also, regarding Bent. None of the top 4-6 teams will want him imo, and Villa won't want to loan him out to close rivals, so maybe there could be something in a loan, but only if Bent really wants it?

I'm still hopeful we might move for Austin though in honesty.

Bent hobbled off last night with what looked like a bad hamstring injury. :(

Still got 3 weeks til January though, could even sign him right at the end. Turner was injured when we signed him? I can't see us signing DARREN BENT anyway. :lol: :lol:

Graham??? :?: :?: :?

Hopefully not Bent! Very poor finisher as of late, not what we need!

Re: " WEDNESDAY 12th DECEMBER 2012 UPDATE "

Wed Dec 12, 2012 8:52 pm

Can't see Bent happening to be honest....... And I can't see Graham betraying the Jacks. Altough Sordell would be a cracking signing! :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Carl thanks for the update. Are you saying the players not on this list that may be here in January are bigger names and better players than these three? If so I can't wait for the new year. Just goes to show how far we have dome in a short number of years. :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

More chance of signing Marcus Bent than Darren Bent

Re: " WEDNESDAY 12th DECEMBER 2012 UPDATE "

Wed Dec 12, 2012 9:16 pm

Bent? surely not :lol: i do think we might get Graham and Sordell though! both worked under Malky with Watford and MM obviously rates Sordell very highly (even though i haven't seen much of him)! Graham was great at championship level, and also proved he can play in the championship, think those would be 2 great signings!

Graham and Maynard upfront next season IF we get to the prem, i think that would be good enough partnership, plenty of goals between them! :ayatollah:

Re: " WEDNESDAY 12th DECEMBER 2012 UPDATE "

4 out of the remaining 21 games will be played in January or roughly 20% of the remaining points on offer (plus the cup). This is why the deals should be progressed now and then paperwork completed on the 1st???

I never understand why all the action starts in January not December...

Re: " WEDNESDAY 12th DECEMBER 2012 UPDATE "

I also heard about Bent but didn't mention it and this thread proves why. It would have just ended in ridicule. Rather than just accept the update by Carl that an enquiry has been made people just 'it will never happen'.

Bent is injured.

10 games, 2 goals.

Also rumours of falling out with Lambert.

Putting him on loan would 1 help him recover when coming back from his injury and 2, put him in the market so they can try and recoup some of the large sum they paid for him in the summer. He is also 28 so if they want decent money then the summer is the perfect time. No one wants to splash on a soon to be 30 year old at his level.

Truth be told, I wouldn't want him. Has a bad attitude, has caused problems at numerous clubs and defied managers orders, performs when it suits him, etc. There are far better options out there. A player like him could be exactly what could derail this clubs promotion push. He was also out of shape before he got injured.

Jerome, Vaz Te, Jones, etc. all far better options on loan.

if you don't think Bent would improve what we got then you must have loose nut in your head! yes he will almost definately not come here, but any club in the prem would want him for the right price! proven goalscorer for every team he's played for!.... yes he might have a 'bad attitude', but isn't that exact same quote that many people give to Bellamy?
