Does that mean he signed 10 years ago? :celb: I particularly like the way he is pointing his fingers in an "oh yeah" styleeeee!!

I would never want a player at St James' that didn't really want to be there, Berbatov seems to have his heart set on a move to Man Utd and anything else would be second best............ Would be a bad move for us in my opinion although I do know that he is supposed to have a soft spot for NUFC. Who knows what is going on behind the scenes really?

Exactamundo. If you're sitting lower down in the stand space will be at a premium on the bottom concourses and that n all, can't speak for upstairs. I'm in Block L on the upper tier but, I doubt the concourse will be any less busy than the lower one. Went to the Valencia game and the biggest negative point I can say now, it gives me some concerns for the season as well, is the state of the toilets and only one very dodgy sink to rinse me fingers!!

So really nothing has "actually" changed in the East Stand, the little fella still sits in the box behind the perspex and instead of handing a season ticket book or paper ticket over you scan your card then he opens the turnstyle then? OK, better expect 5 - 10 minute queues then.

Unless you have set a personal pass word you default should just be your home postcode.

That is what is bothering me. Most people have elluded to the fact that a lot of people in the East Stand seem to struggle with the concept of placing a card next to a scanner, that coupled with the fact that there are turnstyles in place I better plan to get to St James' a little earlier than I have in the past. Probably head up there at about 2:30pm and maybe even try a pint from a plastic beaker on the concourse! Far cry from the warm carpetted bar that I have had the use of in the Sovereign Club, shame - however, not worth £990 for a season I can assure you!!

Last season I was in The Sovereign Club in the Milburn Stand, you could roll up any time before kick off and there was never a queue for the swipe machine so it took seconds to get into the ground. Due to cost I have moved to the East Stand, my experience of the East Stand from years ago with paper tickets was that there was always lengthy queues at every turnstyle and it took ages to get into the ground. Question: Has the swipe cards helped that at all? (hopes!)

Mine and my dads arrived this morning as well so panic over!! Feel the love!

Zenit have said they are not selling because it would not leave them enough time now to secure a replacement. Their deadline has past. Although, as has been proved time and again - that means nothing!

Cash turnstyles on the day of a match??? Smacks of desparation there to me!! I agree with ON, chances of a 3pm kick off are very small, wait till the media get hold of the reason for the delayed kick off: Two weeks into the season and NUFC fans still waiting to accept delivery of their season tickets. You know what would have been easy and straightforward? Just activate last years tickets to work this year!! Too easy though eh?

The fact that it is 9:30 and no-one has come on here saying that they have received their ticket is something of a worry though!! I predict a riot!!

It said that they are using TNT Mail, all that means is that TNT were picking them up and sorting them, TNT then contract the actual delivery of the mail to the Royal Mail, loads of companies do this. My American Express bill is sent by TNT but, actually delivered by the post.

Some sort of technical issue according to the official sources. Translated to right royal fuck up by all concerned in my book - 1) trying to move and reorganise practically the entire seating of the stadium 2) the very late sending out of the renewals in the first place. 3) the huge increase in prices generally. 4) the new costing structure for the the seating. 5) people wishing to move seats because of the prices / new "singing areas" / family seating. 6) the complication of people having paid upfront for this season already and having price differences, desire to move into other areas etc. 7) trying to do all of the above during one summer. There are probably 100 other reasons on top of those but, that is all I can be bothered to recall right now!

Well, it's Thursday!! My post doesn't normally arrive till late morning so I won't know until much later whether my ticket has arrived. Anyone got theirs yet? Seriously this is fuckin ridiculous, can't believe that the papers haven't picked up on this yet! Another reason to have a dig at the "soap opera" that is Newcastle United!

On the renewal pack it said that anyone with a Premium Seat such as Platinum, Sovereign, 1892, Leazes bar get a club membership included in their package which includes the club magazine.

I haven't had my ticket yet so I printed off the form to apply for a Magpie Mover from the .com website link. That same day they ran a piece about Network Ticketing being snowed under and they would have problems getting the tickets out in time for Saturday so to remind people that they would have to pay for their Metro ticket if they used that method of travel. Sent my form off on Monday, they will have got it yesterday and I only received my Mover ticket today, that's how easy it can be!! Got doubts over whether the season ticket will be here by Saturday and I predict a fiasco!!

How can he be injurred? He has never put enough effort in to even break a sweat in his entire life!! Unless he keeps his wallet in his arse pocket and the weight has caused a problem!!

Pretty much what everyone on here is thinking put into words there I think. We all knew that the club was in the shit before Ashley bought it and we are all aware of how much money he has tipped in to keep us afloat. Decent read without actually telling us anything that hasn't been written somewhere else before along with the continuing vitreol of who is in charge of player recruitment. Still a week or so left to bring in the promised additional players and still I have faith in the club to deliver (at least everything apart from my season ticket!!). What we really want this year is a nice quiet, unremarkable season winning the games that we should win and not getting stuffed by anyone. A neat top 10 finish and get all these press monkeys off our backs to allow us to do some decent business and push on forwards.

Based on the season ticket sales they could do with hurrying up the big signing because I think there are plenty of unsold seats left this year.

There used to be heaters in the East Stand when I was a kid, they were hung from the roof and made absolutley no difference to the temperature around them!

source? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimitar_Berbatov

Thinking back wasn't he supposed he be a huge fan of Shearer when he was a kid and all that?? It's all flooding back, sorry gents had a read of Berbatov on Wikipedia and low and behold he dreams of becoming a Toon player one day!
