One of the most galling things about membership is that there's no way to elevate your status as a reward for going to or applying to go to games You can't get an ST so there's zero chance of giving yourself a better likelihood of getting into cup finals or away games We've got a completely segregated system and that segregation is based on people's willingness to keep paying for an ST to watch an Ashley owned NUFC And there's no attempt at all to recognise punters like me and many others, who since the ownership changed are forking out a fortune and dedicating loads of effort to get ourselves to games I don't think we should be at the top of the tree, but I also feel very pissed off that 3 years and thousands of pounds later we're still stuck at the very bottom in the weeds and moss

I strolled in via a quiet turnstile on an OAP ticket, and there's no way the checky could have thought I was an OAP

No point in dressing this up. I think the ticketing team are FUCKING DAFT CUNTS AND I HATE THEM So if you're a member that gets to every game, chases down tickets, works your fucking arse off in the face of a shambolic system, all to ensure you can secure a ticket get to every match, you're actually: a) a 2nd class citizen compared to anyone with an ST, whether they've gone to a cup game or not b) on exactly the same footing as a member who has put in 1 x ballot application all season These arseholes who divvy out tickets can GET TO FUCK

That's true, it was a total fuck up I do wish sometimes that the ST holders could see the rigmarole that members have to go through just to get a home ticket And then multiply that by 20+ games Same as someone like me who lives a few miles from from SJP, I probably don't fully appreciate the amount of travel some people have to put in to get to 20+ home games As fellow comrades we should all be more aware of each others trials and tribulations

It's definitely a tough one, because we've essentially got 4 tiers of regular match goers: - ST holders with plenty of away points - ST holders trying to build their away points - ST holders who don't want to go to away games - Members who go to all league & cup home games but can't get an ST and therefore can't ever go away even if they want to In your circumstances it'd be harsh to miss out if you're at away cup games, but had to miss 1 x home cup game. But on the flip side, I'm a member who goes to every game but couldn't get to the Chelsea cup game due to holidays, so to cover my arse I still bought a ticket and sold it to a friend. Someone is always going to be pissed off with the way cup final tickets are dished out. But given the current ST lock out, it feels unfair to continue to skew everything towards ST holders when there's thousands of people who are at every home game but can't get an ST, can't join a Cup Scheme and are blocked from ever going to away games too.

If I was in charge of divvying out tickets I'd do this: If you went to all home cup games and an away cup game - 1st priority If you went to all home cup games - 2nd priority For 2nd Priority, a ballot for 50% of tickets and a 10am sale for 50% And I think that'd be the ticket allocation gone. But if it wasn't, then Priority 3 becomes anyone who attended 3 home cup games and so on I'd give no priority for ST over Membership for Priority 2, everyone on an even footing. Whereas Priority 1, by default they will only be ST holders with away points Difficulty is members who applied for all cup games via Ballot and weren't successful in winning tickets for all games. Feels unfair to exclude them in priority 2, although they still had a decent 2nd chance of getting a ticket via general sale / resale

You'll be able to tell by the flash flood rivers of urine flowing down the streets of Tyneside as people piss their pants with either excitement / outrage

I thought it was trucking offensive

Catts for me like

We’re giving Wilson a new contract because Arsenal are signing Isak Worrying

There needs to a determined effort to banish the makina version of Blaydon Races Weds night just showed how fucking ridiculous it is Sounded mega sung at correct speed pre-game and sounded absolutely ludicrous sung at 190bpm once the game was underway

SHIT THE BED !!!! what a goal for Leyton

If we ever win a trophy I imagine it’d be like when we were 5 nowt up at half time against Spurs and there was looks of bewilderment on the faces of people in the ground What had been hyped as a tight, must win game that we probably expected to bottle and lose had become a demolition and as fans we didn’t have a fucking clue what we should be feeling Probably the weirdest atmosphere I’ve ever experienced at SJP

It’s from a free kick anarl, not some rapid counter attack when the lino and ref might be struggling to keep up with a fast moving situation at the end of a match They’re both stood stationary in a perfect position waiting for a dead ball to be crossed in and neither of them sees 4/5 red shirts all stood offside ? Aye right. Fucking loaded dice man

Feel bad for any club outside of Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea and Spurs tonight. I just don’t even know what to make of what’s going on with the systematic cheating anymore

No point being polite, just call call him a cunt

@Froggy come on son, how you justifying that blatant disregard of the rules of association football ?

All offside decisions are equal, but some are more equal than others

Dat clearance

I we win a trophy the plan here is to wank myself blind & deaf so I definitely won’t hear or read anything ever again

Alan ?
