I’ve mentioned it on here before but a makem I know was lecturing me about Saudi human rights atrocities, sportswashing, how could Mags attach themselves to such a brutal regime etc etc And once the lecture had finally concluded he seamlessly moved onto telling me he’d just been to Riyadh with work and was hoping to secure a big contract win with a new Saudi customer and it could become a huge market for their products They’re out of their tiny minds

The principle is OK. People shouldn’t be buying away tickets purely to sell on. But sending out dud tickets, so random people can’t get into the ground and have to go through the rigmarole of finding the ticket office, presenting ID etc just seems to be causing hassle and potential confusion for fans How do other clubs police their away tickets when demand outstrips supply ? Is dud tickets the norm ?

There should be total hell on with the club for the state of ticketing for both home and away A proper concerted effort from supporters to get them to explain exactly what the fuck is going on behind the scenes Cos from this side of the fence it’s showing absolute disregard and disdain for fans right across the spectrum of match goers Amanda, Mehrdad and Eales need to be answering questions about this and explaining why it’s such a massive fuck up

Some scamp had changed his childhood allegiance from slough mag to slough massive lads fan Anyone know where his dad’s originally from ? Be beautiful fewm from Weariside if he’s a Cewnty Derhem mag

Wiki say he a Makem

Last season was kinda similar to that, but without the ballot and 48hr purchase period. It would have been so easy just to tweak what we had, to make a solution like you’ve suggested that was fairer for people who couldn’t log on at 10am on a weekday. But for reasons known only to themselves the club have created this new system that is the worst ticketing process and communications campaign that I’ve ever experienced. I can’t imagine how anyone, even the people who were unhappy and complaining to the club last season, can look at what we have now and say “it’s straightforward and better” than what we had previously

Glipton Grasshoppers ?

Yawn. Doesn't even create a temptation to prepare the Kleenex even though mother is at work today and I have the house to myself. It'll just be someone with a few quid going on their summer holiday to the millionaires playground that is the Cote d'Azur. I prefer Workington, but each to their own.

Assume so There was issues with the site this morning so that could explain why you got kicked out

Same age as most of their “youth firm” who are regularly causing hassle for away fans

It's a farce. Enter via the ballot: Ballot entry button not working Choose category 1,2 or 3. But we still don't know which parts of the ground relate to which category. Can we at least have an up to date stadium plan ? IMPORTANT: Tickets can be allocated in any available category, and so if successful the total price of your application may vary. Prices shown are the maximum per price ticket. So why choose a category ? Could I end up paying £77 when I only wanted to pay £47 ? If you're unsuccessful in the 1st ballot there's a 2nd ballot. When ? How ? Will I be given a new category ? Could I end up paying £77 when I only wanted to pay £47 ? And ticket prices have been ramped up again too, a very stealthy approach. @Greg I know you've already spoken to the club about fan concerns prior to Villa tickets, I assume all of this new shambles is being documented and will be raised again ? My direct queries to Supporter Services just got a copy n paste generic response about "making the ticketing process fairer for all after the fan consultation groups"

It doesn't matter what place you are for this, it's a ballot entry that's open for 2 days so not first come, first served.

Subtle, very subtle. I like the cut of your jib

As someone who despises Man Utd I can say with complete confidence that every contentious decision that goes their way is a direct result of of corruption and bias

If you believe those halfwits, NUFC fans in County Durham and South Tyneside are like those perodical cicadas that lay dormant most of their lives only to emerge and swarm every 15 years

I'd be a devasted man if the roles had been reversed. Watching them making huge strides whilst we languished in the doldrums with nothing to cling to but our hatred of their existence. It'd be soul destroying.

Most can't even get the words or speed of Blaydon Races right, so expecting people to realise that Roma aren't Champions League is just pissing in the wind

Fair comment, but it also takes a large amount of balls / pints to stand up and sing if you find yourself sitting in a quiet area wishing the atmosphere was better. More likely to get told to sidoon an shurrup than get people joining in. One of the reasons why I dislike being anywhere other than in the corner

where was you

Got to Strawberry Corner turnstiles just before 5, massive queue, finally got in just as the match kicked off. Shambles. Noise from the corner was great as usual, haven’t extended the rails to the section I go in but most people still stand anyway. First game of season, late kick off, massive win, all the right ingredients for making a racket. It’s a shame if other parts of the ground were quiet. Hearing Style Council Headstart for Happiness at half time had my toes tapping. And no DJ Otzi was a highlight of the day for me.

Reckon the grey haired fella with the geps in the top left is blind ? If so, experiencing a game like that but in audio only must be wild

Standing in the corner is like being at different game Would hate to be anywhere else

More passing trade for Sven Adult Books if we move to the arena site

It’s DJ Otzi live on the hallowed turf isn’t it Kil iz

NUFC email addresses are easy to figure out A polite and constructive email to the relevant leadership highlighting concerns about the new ticketing system would make them aware that there are some unhappy fans Shy bairns get nowt, as the saying goes
