    St James' Park

    And relieve place your dignity in a basket
  2. Has anyone got travel itineraries to Milan they can share, our group are struggling to get something sensible together.
  3. There’s a canny article on SS about Forests transfers this summer, gives some insight.
  4. Didn’t he want to be closer to London a couple of years back.
  5. The Woking team bus was in The Village in Shitemoor this morning, didn’t expect them to stop there
  6. I know of a lot of example where it’s sold as a package. As an example, Brighton a couple of years ago was £150 for travel and ticket. I remember when games were postponed and my mate asked for a refund the answer was no because they still had to pay for the match ticket.
  7. No, personally I wouldn’t want to affect that group of people…I can’t give an answer to that question. I think some clubs remove a proportion of loyalty points each season? Do that along with the current checks and it could protect the genuine regular attendees?
  8. I think there are multiple scenarios of why the demand has increased, not just about the winning but I agree that’s definitely a reason. I’ve been to around 80 away games both in Europe and domestic and my experience is that the handing off of tickets is absolutely rife and not just in the innocent twitter post that’s doing the rounds. Theres a protectionism amongst fans that want to hold the option to get a ticket despite going to 1-5 select games a season therefore they’ve sold tickets on at face value or below for years just to get the point. For as many “new” fans who want to attend there’ll also “the new old” fans who have points from years gone by or gathered by selling on that have decided to start attending for themselves (ask any of the normal travel groups).
  9. Yeah, I would. But you’re angling the question how you wish to be viewed. it’s not a case of “we’re good”.
  10. There’s no system that will satisfy all groups of supporters. Scrap the lot and put all the tickets in a proportioned ballot for season ticket holders and members. People are going to pass tickets on regardless. The “loyalty point” system is broken, it’s been abused for many years now and to some degree became a closed shop for a large proportion of tickets with many handing over use of their tickets to individuals and bus runners for years, imagine some of the friends and family setups people have online.
  11. Just wait till he hits the traffic going over the Redheugh or Tyne Bridge, Mama Mia!
  12. We’re in a home bar but the lads are saying that it’s only NCFC that’s near to the ground that’ll take us.
  13. Also, for those travelling. It seems the only bar away fans will get in is at Notts County’s ground.
  14. Johnson will be playing according the Forest fans in the pub were in.

    Alan Shearer

    Wasn’t it Liverpool, Bobby wanted to replace Shearer with Emile Mpenza….can’t remember the source.
  16. He’s got his lass and kid with him so not sure if the team bus is just family or what but there’s loads getting photos at the bus.
  17. Strangely Jacob Murphy is in Weatherby Services getting food.
  18. We were up in 537 and the atmosphere was touch and go. It was quite difficult to get a cohesive song going because of the time delay around the ground, mind once their second went in it was dead for a good length of time. There was a good amount of people who had no interest in singing around us and lots of complaints about people standing. I’ve always sat on the fence with singing thinking that it’s each to their own really but I was disappointed yesterday, even my 8 year old daughter sang her heart out to support the team….which leads on to a personal gripe, I’m sick of hearing songs about other clubs and their support. I messaged my brother in law who is a Man U fan yesterday after full time and said that I found it amazing that with moments to go before you win the best thing you can sing is about Alan Shearer….because he didn’t sign for you all those years ago, it’s pathetic….and where guilty of it too. Heard more about “Shearer turned you down” then I did Blaydon Races….anyways rant over.
  19. What a day yesterday, got off at St Pancreas and we could hear singing from the platform it just continued that way. London has been transformed into a sea of black and white. my 8 YO can’t take it all in, she’s been talking about yesterday most of the night, she woke up at 6 and asked if we could go back to the square. on to Wembley, on to a victory!
