When your owners are PIF I’m pretty sure Adidas will now consider us elite.

Not sure how NUST can cite an example then now claim they had no influence in the process, when the very example they quoted was introduced.

Here’s your context, I offer my opinion on what I’ve seen, and it’s what the general consensus was of people who witnessed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etKxaiP4g50&pp=ygURbmV3Y2FzdGxlIGZhbnMgdHY%3D

Sounds a much fairer way and protects your more loyal fans who want to go to every game, not just Man U at home. Could also be used to prioritise any season tickets that become available in future.

This was fucking OTT aswell, Northumbria Police will be itching to ban them to get their numbers up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKIddPKGKnY&list=RDCMUCnfaXGG3LUFjbdnTmbWXKMw&start_radio=1

These are the lads who create an atmosphere, the real worry here is that the away support is diluted with your Wembley brigade, and half the away end will be sat down which would be the point i’d say enough is enough and footballs not for me anymore.

There should absolutely be some forwarding allowed for aways, nothing worse than someone unable to make it last minute and the seat goes empty. I agree a limit would stop any continual abuse but protect genuine cases.

One of the biggest benefits of Adidas will be their distribution, kids from all over the country will be able to go into their local JD Sports and Adidas shop and get our kit. Ive never seen our shirt in any sportswear shop around the country under Castore.

Finding a creative player or freeing up Isak to play behind the lines is what we’re really lacking. There’s definitely a lack of creativity in the final third, we’ll get away with it sometimes, but against the top teams and in the Cup Final last year it was our downfall.

Fair enough but this is the perception of many at the minute in the first reply.

NUSC have been very vocal about issues, maybe NUST are doing it more behind the scenes but would be nice to know their take on ID and threats to remove points etc.

Nail on head, they should be challenging the club on these draconian measures, don’t seem interested in rocking the boat though.

This digital ticketing is clearly in operation at a few clubs now, but the key question is are other clubs being as draconian as us with ID checks and threatening people with loss of loyalty points and tickets etc.

This is the kind of story that if true is a fucking disgrace. The fan involved should be seeking a full refund on travel and compensation from club.

This is the best post I’ve read on how these changes impact away days for regular travellers. What really annoys me though is that the club are dressing this up as stopping ticket touting. If that’s the case how come hospitality in areas like the Barracks is available for any fucker to buy without a membership including away fans/ticket agencies. One look at the hospitality page on club website will show tickets are sold out for fixtures way down the line, what’s the chance these are the very tickets ending up on secondary sites ? One rule for the corporates and another for your average match going fan. The club have got this spectacularly wrong and have listened to cunts like that Burnsie at ticketing workshops.

We still haven’t got our De Bruyne or Salah difference maker teams need against the best. I think Barnes and Gordon are decent signings at this point and where we’re currently at, but still don’t think we’ve got enough quality in final 3rd against the real top teams. Tonight’s a good reality check and will keep expectations in check, we’ll be around top 6 but still at least 3 players short of competing with the very best. In many ways the next step will be the hardest for Howe as expectations are through the roof.

Very hard to look good against City and personally think they’re boring as fuck to watch. Our time is coming we beat this lot at St James.

Predictable.

They’re off their fucking tits it’s like the land of make believe.

This fixture was just a write off for years and fucking depressing, to the point you’d think what is even the point anymore. It’ll not be men vs boys anymore on Saturday and the days of us bending over for anyone are gone. Great times, that being said still doesn’t feel right being confident going here 5- 0.

Apparently his grandad was a Newcastle fan so he grew up one.

According to .com, now this lad has been linked to all the top clubs and looks some talent. A deal is also said to be looming for Birmingham City's teenage winger Trevan Sanusi. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvYezUbB-Tw

Majority on 8 year contracts though, that loophole won’t be closed by the PL until next summer, the same with UEFA, whether it’s the right approach long term only time will tell.

Good article on him here. https://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/who-is-antonio-silva-the-benfica-defensive-prodigy-admired-by-liverpool/209160

Antonio Silva this summers Isak.
