Perhaps an extreme side of this whole shambles, but Liverpool fans in 2016 walked out of a game on the 77th minute in protest at some general admission tickets becoming 77 quid. LFC relented as a result and reduced the prices. Even now I believe the most expensive general admission ticket at Liverpool is ~£60. Not a chance our lot even remotely consider doing something similar, it'll just be letters from NUST asking for clarity (and I have nothing against NUST, do think those like Greg do their absolute best). For arguments sake, a 74th minute walkout for 74 quid would never be entertained. It'd shouted down and be seen as negatively impacting the club/team. So many are just servile as fuck especially now as seen going into bat for price increases and random seat allocation. Its so disheartening.

We saw that with the CL packages a month and a bit ago and its the same again. "Can't afford it, don't go" and "it'll help with FFP". Odious.

Looking forward to (hopefully) being in my randomly allocated seat! /cognitivedissonance

Estoy aburrido. It too early for the Villa thread? Sorted all the #CONTENT out for them but preseason isn't over yet and they haven't even started selling tickets for it yet, chortle.

Agree, gone right off him. Got a huge bye from a lot of our fans for the Bruce drama but since then he's written some absolute garbage. Had a mini pop at Isak after the home draw with Bournemouth even though he had 2 goals in 3 games. He then hid Twitter replies criticising the article and said 'it's not my job to help players settle'. Couldn't wait to get the Fraser in the reserves story out there in cup final week when he could've just sat on it to avoid any disturbance to positivity. The article he wrote on Maxi recently and the £50m budget story. Now this stirring on a nothing comment about Bruno's contract. Have always gotten the vibe as well from him that as soon as we hit a bit of a sticky patch he'll be the first one going after Howe.

Pointless predicting stuff and having expectations before the transfer window is shut like, but we were the 3rd best team in the league for almost half of the season last season. The usual teams will likely improve but there's no guarantees for them just as there aren't any for us. 3rd-6th is my pointless prediction™, though I wouldn't be disappointed as long as we were playing some form of European football in 2024-25.

One is settling right now. Dozed off between 50 and 70 minutes. Well pleased that I did given the apparent performance, even though I didn't recognise most of the team on the pitch once I woke up. Sláinte.

As if we won that. Pleased for Anderson like. That turn and pass by Miley before the equaliser though, urrrf.

Wish Wilson knocked him out.

The green kit.

Aye, Beamish and Murphy's are both brewed in Cork iirc. Still the Guinness there will be lightyears ahead of what you get in the UK. There next week. Looking forward to it, great grandmother emigrated to the north east from there before WWI/Easter Rising which is probably why stout makes up most of my bloodstream.

Oof. Toss up between The Ship, Tyne Bar, Tilley's and The Bacchus.

Aye but where did you have a pint? Pedantic as fuck as usual from a self admitted Guinness nonce but good pints in the UK, especially town, are few and far between. Ireland is something else altogether.

This tickled me for some reason.

Aye, the cans and from draught. Not blown away to be honest, thought it was like a weak tasting Beamish. Nitrosuuuuurrrrrrge though. Drink it like its watta.

Guinness in tonight for another knackering late stay up. Nee knob gifs this time.

Probably necessary but still gutted all the same.

It was. I sorted out my dad's due to him being shit with computers and was able to select seats. He was in pot 3 iirc.

It's got to be similar to Wembley surely? You're successful in a ballot to get a ticket and you go through and then pick your seat? Imagine if a pensioner who can't walk too far without being knackered gets given a seat on L7, or a student/young lad aiming to get a seat in the 18-21 section in the Milburn-Leazes corner gets put in the Platinum Club and asked for 70+ bar? Rancid if that happens, like. Especially for me personally, as I've been buying my old ST seat I had from 2016-2019 to be next to my dad and been successful in all but 3 matches last season.

I've no idea if this goes some way to explaining that or not, but here anyway. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023–24_UEFA_Champions_League#Distribution
