I've been on those buses and used those tickets, including a very lairy trip to Villa when @Paully was the ringleader of some peeve related carnage

I know plenty of very vocal away day lads who live outside of the NE, don't have ST's and rarely watched us at home but via the blackmarket network they'd get to loads of aways and had done for years Lads like that are now are absent, unless the original ticket owner wants to risk being busted in a check Was it fair they were getting blackmarket tickets ? Probably not Have they been replaced by people who are just as vocal ? Sounds like they probably haven't

Not worth arguing with an idiot Stiffy, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience But just to avoid any confusion created by that twonk: I’ve been going home and away since I was a teen in 1993 and had a season ticket for many years. Not saying this to demonstrate that I’m “loyalist”, there’s thousands without ST’s who have a similar story to me But apparently, we’re Johnny Come Lately’s who should just pay their £40 and shut the fuck up. Which is nice

Loyalty points for members, go to a game earn points, less attractive the game more points on offer. More points on your account means higher priority when games like cup finals or even aways get offered to members. And to go on an ST waiting list you need to pass a points threshold ST holders with loads of points still get first dibs and keep their position at top of the tree, but members can start to make their way off the bottom rung by going to games Have a look at Chelsea’s membership scheme, they do this And a directly relevant example of a club not prioritising ST’s over members is Liverpools Wembley allocation. Members and ST’s got equal priority, anyone who had been to 2 x Carabao games was eligible

I was annoyed, but Michelle was furious when I told her She’s the one who needs the formal apology
-
He told me Michelle Collins was nowt special and that I had a low bar when it came to being in love with her Don’t think he could say anything that would actually offend me more than that
-
Rod, after you slagged off my beloved Michelle Collins you’re lucky I’m still speaking to you. Although now I’m thinking that you probably didn’t appreciate her beauty because of shit old codger eyesight Here’s what makina is
-
120bpm would be a snails pace compared to the 190bpm we get these days
-
Can anyone attempt to pinpoint when it was that Blaydon Races got the makina treatment? Nearest season will do, doesn’t have to be as precise as the exact month

We’ve got 30,000 ST's, 99% sold pre Oct 2021. Almost 5 seasons ago. It's a closed shop since 2022. New ST's don't exist. ST's get massive priority or 100% exclusivity for aways, European games, cup finals, home cup Compare to membership, which is just a £40 a year fee to buy tickets. Even if you never miss a home game you still can't go away and you got a miniscule chance of a cup final ticket And you take your chance with tens of thousands of others in an online queue or ballot for all home games No member can get an ST. Can't even get on an ST waiting list. Trapped at the bottom of the ladder. I’m not moaning about people who have ST’s. I’m moaning about the gulf between ST’s and members. NUFC should provide members with a ladder they can climb that brings the two groups closer

I’m all for new people getting to go to big games and away games, everyone has to start somewhere I’m all for people who go regularly getting some recognition for their efforts with some form of priority scheme I’m all for reducing the untouchable power of a season ticket by getting members more aligned with them I’m strongly against anyone who turns up on any form of ticket and chooses to bitch and moan or not get involved in supporting the team on the pitch I just want some positivity in the stands and some balance when it comes to how different groups of fans are viewed by NUFC We’re all comrades at the end of the day

Eyes peeled for a plume of white smoke out the chimney pot on Barrack Road

Willock playing like the recurring dream I have that I’m starting a top flight game at St James Park but the gaffer doesn’t realise that the last time I kicked a football competitively was for the primary school U9’s in 1987

Gimme gimme gimme Osula at Anfield

it’s the hope that kills you

That’s a big statement when new ST’s were effectively discontinued in Oct 2021, there’s no more people allowed into that magic circle. It’s a closed shop So anyone who was willing to keep going through the Ashley era will be forever given priority over anyone who didn’t go back then (too young, protested, lived abroad, skint student etc etc etc)
