  1. I think imports from the Portuguese league has one of the best strike rates in recent years for players matching/exceeding their stats from over there. Bundesliga one of worst IIRC.
  2. More like there's a train strike on and an absolute pisser to get to without rail, and this is someone who's been to the Amex 3 times.
  3. I think 5? Could be wrong. To be honest I have no idea how many they've actually signed, but it must be at least a new XI.
  4. Not sure how this will all work out for Forest. Signing so many players in such a short space of time will piss off the players that got them up, plus you have to hope these new players can figure it out pretty fast. Will be interesting to watch but I doubt it's the right way to go about it. The teams that have been most successful teams (to my knowledge) getting promoted and staying up basically keep 5/6 of their XI from Championship as their key players. Just Johnson probably for them? Huge risk they've taken.
  5. Should be awarded a loyalty point for purchasing a ticket as a member imo. season ticket holders should also get points for renewing. Opens it up a bit more.
  6. Like many, aside from NUFC, that team gave me so much joy when watching, so God only knows how you felt. It’ll be the end of a ridiculous run when Piqué and Busquets are gone. is there any talk of any new otherworldly talents in La Masia at the moment?
  7. Loads of people just like to be seen to be having a good time, rather than just having a good time. Instragram stories of £14 cocktails or what not. Town is so different these days, even on a match day I find.
  8. Appreciate this has been done to death, so apologies in advance. But it still absolutely baffles me the amount of our fans on twitter literally point-scoring over having a ST and just abusing those who can't get one now. Really has been getting to me this week. I remember people who stopped going under Ashley saying some unsavoury things to those who kept going - scabs etc - so definitely not innocent. But I'd have loved to have thought that now, when everything is on an upward trajectory with regards to NUFC, people could just actually Unite and all be on board for the first time in a generation. Demand is far exceeding supply for the first time since the 90s, and back then it meant we had to go from 36k - 52k to accommodate. Twitter is certainly not the best place to grasp an overall perspective of attitudes - totally get that - but seeing some say they'd be against extending as it accommodates us glory-hunting fans ffs Surely there has to be some form of glory involved? I'd like to think that in reality, there isn't an NUFC fan alive who wouldn't be against extending SJP if it was possible. I think we'd all prefer that to moving, but to want to keep it @ 52k just to be spiteful is fucking ridiculous. Our owners definitely won't think like that thankfully, but I've muted so many accounts since Tuesday. I'd bet a good few of these tits only got a ticket in the Ashley era and took the place of someone who packed in anyways. Hopefully these wankers never have to try and get a ticket for a son/daughter in the future, as without extending it will be pretty hard to do. Rant over.
  9. I know other clubs use a ballot system, and some having a rolling points system (Sunderland IIRC being one of them). Either way, in order to avoid away days becoming a closed shop, it will need reviewed. Those with 50pts probably stand little to no chance of away games except midweeks, which I also get is the argument to build your points up.
  10. Seems that this will be the case this season. Don't think it will (or should) be the entire away allocation, but should at least stop people buying for others and allow people chance to build up points for away games in future.
  11. Seems that there may be a ballot for some away tickets this season. Was just mooching about the hospitality brochure on .co.uk and noticed that all options (Executive, SBR Suite, Moncur, Heroes, Magpie etc) have the opportunity to enter 'away ticket ballot'. Not sure if that's a new thing or not, but could be linked to the random new ballot section on website?
  12. With the child one, did they already have supporter number or did you create it today?
  13. Was wondering this myself. Does anyone know if you buy a junior one, it will create a supporter number for them etc?
  14. I was 210th, fucking typical isn't it
  15. Got one sorted, but like others have said - begs the question as to how much use it will be. Time will tell.
  16. If you're all members you can link your accounts on the ticketing page and book as many that are linked. Be able to sit together that way.
  17. Has it ever been confirmed that we can actually extend? I was sure I read something about Ashley selling the land behind the Gallowgate, meaning we couldn’t. Could be wrong.
  18. Website is under maintenance ffs
  19. I have a star next to both (you can manually add that tbf, make it a strong connection or something). Thanks for confirming - good luck!
  20. Thanks mate. Hoping me being logged in to 8 devices isn't detrimental to my cause
  21. Am I right in thinking that if I'm linked to someone who is also eligible, I (or he) can get both of ours?
  22. What part of the site are you even supposed to be on at 10am? literally don’t have a clue what I’m doing tbh
  23. Say a prayer for the website tomorrow. Tickets and Botman announcement.
  24. Don’t want people with points to get penalised at all. They should always get first dibs on tickets. But why shouldn’t others get the chance to build them up too? The argument that ‘plenty go to 0’ is basically redundant now. Realistically, it’ll take well over a decade to get 50+ points (which will get you fuck all now), and that’s assuming you go to absolutely every game that might go to 0. Understand football is mainly for the here and now, but we need to give future generations a fighting chance of having what we had
  25. A % of away tickets should 100% go into a ballot. Like others have touched on, it’ll become a closed shop, and those with 100s of points will just keep adding points when only going to 1 or 2 a season. They should never lose them points, but a ballot for a % of aways and building up points via all home games (ST holders should be awarded 5 or something for renewing too) as well as purchasing food/drink in SJP should be a way to build up points. Maybe purchases at club shop too (with a membership/ST).
