Gosforth I think, but not 100%. which part of him isnt? FFS

This and Goodison the worst grounds for a view I think. Spent 90 minutes behind a pole at both. Palace's little area outside, a bit like a terrace - is very decent though. Also, despite the view I much prefer them sort of grounds to the likes of Wigan/Bolton etc. Bit of a throwback.

Gosforth I think, but not 100%.

Used to fucking love it up there, especially in the Championship and first season back up (6-0,5-1,4-4). Some of my happy memories from the past 13 miserable years were spent up there. Absolutely class.

Not necessarily a game today but watching back the Ajax v Spurs semi final on BT, I’d fucking love Pochettino actually.

- being found guilty twice in court for being twats - Sports Direct Arena - club shop absolutely desolated - making die hard fans turn away from something they love - Alan Pardew - Joe Kinnear x 2 - Yohan Kebab/Charlie Insomnia - 'what Rafa wants, Rafa gets' yet completing doing the opposite - whiteying in a fireplace - getting rid of the singing section as they were nasty about him

I rang up a few months ago to try and sort one for the lads for a day out. It was too expensive for us though. The figure I was quoted for a one off game was £350pp +VAT. There are 8, 10 and 12 seat boxes. I think they’ve got 6 or 7 not paid up for the season. So about 80k GBP for a season for 10 people.... Yikes!! 4200GBP per match inc the VAT. What does having a box actually entail? Is the food/drink included? I'd be fairly tempted if so, and if I couldn't get one in a 'normal' area. Not sure my son would enjoy it as much like. Also, Platinum Club, how much are season tickets in there does anyone know?

I feel your pain. I really struggled this past 9 months and not having the escape of the match left a huge void. I was offered a free ticket but I just couldn’t do it. Good post.

Ffs been a long day at the office (dining table) relentlessly refreshing this forum and Twitter.

See, I’d argue you do really, albeit from a bias perspective. I have no doubt that people like you made a difference, the only problem being is the fact we will never know for sure if you (we) did or not.

Seems to be a lot of arguments on twitter regarding who should and shouldn’t get a ticket. Shame to see so many argue, really. Don’t see why previous season ticket holders getting ticket back would annoyed those who stayed, but at the same time can’t see how it will be fair to give anyone first chance to buy. Such a shame man, we need to be United for the first time in literally years.

That Benfica side was absolutely awesome, criminal how they didn't win the Europa That ultra-defensive bloke Benitez done them in the final, didn't he?

Exactly. From January onwards (post-Almiron) in 18/19 we were great at times. Thoroughly enjoyed watching us. It's a myth that people believe because pundits/journalists say it. You should always listen to a group of fans on anything IMO. Managers, players etc. Palace learned that the hard with Pardew, if only they had listened to us and not the media saying we were harsh to him. Players can look amazing on MOTD etc but when you go on forums & social media and see what that specific teams fans have to say, who watch that player every week, you will get a better interpretation really. Obviously there will be some who improve at other clubs (Ciaran Clark for example) but by and large I think people are technically brainwashed really.

It's a bit of a myth if you ask me. Yeah, he sets up to be cautious, but he mainly sets up to exploit weaknesses in the opposition. His Liverpool side Man Utd a hiding at Old Trafford (I know Man Utd went down to 10) and there's probably more examples. I just fucking hate the lazy press over here which promote the idea that he's some ultra-defensive coach because we had 20% possession against Man City, arguably the most possession based team on the planet. Yet, the likes of Allardyce is hailed as some master manager whilst playing the dullest football known to man, and Mr Bruce and Mr Pardew are heralded 'front foot' managers which is completely wrong. We gave a fantastic Liverpool side a good go in May last year, losing only to a dive from Fabinho. I'd say he is extremely focused on tactics rather than just setting out to defend all game.

Not with lockdown! The website/phone lines will be manic. Dreading it!

Me too - but I know that the trust (and maybe Wor Flags) are going to be bringing it up if and when any new owners contact them. Not sure if Staveley will see it as a PR win or what to be honest. I'm just fucking desperate for a ticket for me and the boy. If I can get that, whether my old ones back or on general sale, I'll be a happy man. Killed me getting rid of his ticket more than my points etc.

Well yeah exactly. I don't expect points back (although it would be nice) but I'm not sure if the new owners will see it as a quick PR win or whether it'll just be general sale. I'd assume the latter, which will be a fucking nightmare during lockdown. Phones will be off the hook, and the shite site will just crash. Yeah the free ticket lot shouldn't be allowed to renew if you ask me, but I am bias I suppose.

Question for anybody on here who kept their season ticket last year - would you be annoyed if those who cancelled were allowed first dibs ahead of the free ticket lot? Not that I think we will be allowed first dibs - but the consensus I get online is that it would annoy many who stayed if people are allowed back/their points back. Can't be arsed with a divided fanbase and those who 'supported the team not the regime' telling me I'm a shit fan for the next 10 years. Still can't believe if I held on another 9 fucking months I'd have still had 4 tickets together with about 450points ffs

But they’ll never take, our freedom.

That's it like. Where is the line? Liverpool do deserve it, but how can you give them the title, but keep everything else fair?

If the Govt. did interverne, then they'd probably push it through. Would surely be quite hypocritical for them to block it only to continue trade with them. I am out of touch with all of this though and try not to comment. Some of the idiots on Twitter seriously knock me sick and give us lot a really, really bad name. Thankfully, the same can be said for any club. But it's rank looking at the comments, like.

It's neck and neck over there though isn't it? Or at least very close. As much as Liverpool 100% deserve to win the title, it would be glorious if they didn't. Can picture it now But the right thing to do is probably give them it, if we end up ending the season now.

Fuck that! He's a symbol of the mediocrity of the Ashley era. A terrible, cheap appointment who is grateful for a job- the type of appointment which we've became associated with for the past 13 years. He needs to fuck off as soon as the season is done - which I'm sure he will be. He might be a nice bloke - I have no doubt of that - but he's a shit, fraud of a manager and bit of a parody, all things considered. The sooner he is gone and true, footballing man with a clear identity of how he wants to play and move the club forward is needed as soon as it becomes viable to do so.

It's fucking disgusting she's been approached for comment, like.

I’m seriously worried now. Seems every fucker (bar us lot) is desperate for this to fall through.
