Giving up a season ticket because you couldn’t stand by and watch what that cunt was doing to the club was a risk. The merits of staying vs going are still too emotive and divisive for either side to discuss sensibly, we all made our choices to do one or the other and that’s that But that’s not what I’m pissed off about I’m increasingly irate that for 3.5 years they’ve done nothing at all to create a ladder for anyone without an ST (not just the Ashley protesters) to improve their status in any way They’ve got “customers” who plough thousands of £’s and a ridiculous amount of time and energy into getting to games and they offer nothing in recognition of this That’s my issue

In many cases the only difference between a member who goes to every home game and a season ticket holder who goes to every home game, is likely to be that one person was willing to continue going under Ashley and the other person wasn’t And now we’ve got a completely segregated system, where the ones who continued under Ashley hold all the cards and the ones who didn’t aren’t allowed a seat at the table, or even an opportunity to get a seat at the table Giving less than 1000 tickets to members (and not even prioritising any of them) out of an allocation of 32,000 is brutal and simply spotlights the shit attitude of the club towards members I have nothing against season ticket holders (apart from the miserable ones that choose to continually piss and moan in the ground), but the club need to do something to give more balance to the fanbase It’s 3.5 years since we got rid of the fat parasitic cunt and they’ve still done nothing at all to recognise members whose attendance at games makes them just as “loyal” as most of our ST holders. We get charged a £40 fee to buy tickets game by game and get sweet fuck all else

Gracias amigo, that’s genuinely humbling I’d actually sacked off Wembley not long after the criteria were announced and made my other plans, so my ballot application was only in the hope I could pass the ticket on to a lifelong mate who’s desperate to go to the final So I’m relaxed about ticket defeat today But rest assured, if we’re at Wembley again this season and I don’t get a ticket there’ll be much devastation

Unsuccessful email I don't know why I applied in the ballot or even give a fuck about a ticket, I'm away in Germany that weekend now anyway Now and again I think I really need to have a word with myself and stop being such a dick. Applying for tickets when I can't attend is weird. Then I think, actually, it could all be a lot worse, I could be into xG and have never even kissed a girl

Sliding her key into my back door lock as we speak

No email yet

Are you reflecting on life in general ?

I’d suggest that’d mean an absolute bare minimum of 18,500 applied as the ballot was open for 24 hours and the queue was only active for a short period when the ballot went live yesterday lunchtime I think Plus people can do multiple entries for linked accounts just off one queue position The actual number of applications will be much, much higher than that

If I don’t get a ticket in this ballot today then I’m going on the biggest anti-xG rant this forum has ever seen Brace yourselves

When I win a ticket in this ballot today then I’m getting straight on a train to Walford to ask Michelle Collins for a no jarmy sleepover at mine and she WILL definitely say YES this time Who cares about restraining orders when it’s my lucky day

I can't remember who it is on here, but someone talked about having a "lucky ritual" of only entering the East Stand through a very specific turnstile and they'd been doing that same thing for decades. To break the ritual would mean bad luck At the time it was suggested that their ritual had achieved absolutely fuck all for NUFC and it was therefore pointless It's interesting from a psychological perspective how people will cling to things because it's what they've always known or done, rather than seeing change as a potential harbinger of positivity

fake mag from North Shields which isn’t even in Newcastle marra. FTM

As a serious point though, I sometimes think of that Makem YewTewber and his trips round to his pal Wency's before they go to the match They're middle to old age blokes sat in a garden shed downing ale and necking Sambewca shots in the mid to late morning, just to go and watch a game of football Am sure there's people doing similar amongst our support. And as that article points out, alcohol deaths are a massive problem for the North East region, not just Sunderland For me those Makems on YewTewb definitely emphasised the potentially dangerous relationship between watching football and alcohol / alcoholism

First glance I thought that said bairns and I wasn’t sure I approved

Aye, the constant movement of images and text is just as bad as the ridiculous size & brightness of the fuckers We’re basically watching a main course of an LED advertising show with a side dish of a game of football They should be banned

That’s hill-arious

This a million percent I’ve had to turn it off, it’s impossible to watch the game with those daft fucking things burning my retinas

What better way to spend the next couple of hours of my Sunday afternoon than watching millions of billions of supersized LED’s flashing like buggery whilst a few blokes kick a football around in front of them Can’t wait for this

A wins a win but fucking hell that doesn’t feel like a win Whoever in the dressing room thought it’d be fun to pass the glue bag round at 1/2 time needs docking a weeks wages

When I seen on the BBC that the Pope needed critical care, I didn’t realise they meant our one

If you’re a young player running on fumes and you’re heading towards the business end of a season where your team is exceeding all expectations then it must be hugely motivating to have the “best fans in the leyg” sat in silence for the game, then hear the ones who didn’t leave early bew you off the pitch They’re self-aggrandizing yet irrelevant fuckwits who deserve every misfortune they encounter

Top brass from Adidas are at our games quite often One of their main dudes that was in the NUFC documentary is a friend of a friend
