Would have said we have way more chance in this one than in the 90s two

So boringly typical this

Ashley’s not the owner anymore though.

That is a man’s game.

Did that happen to you at games?

Yes.

Without endorsing the mad ramblings of the above fella, stuff like this is just pathetic. Are people who want their season ticket back now cucking for Saudi Arabia?

Ah right- fair enough

So he decided to start supporting Newcastle when we got taken over by a branch of the Saudi Arabian government and now gets tickets to Wembley? Good thing he’s not a season ticket holder or I would be really mad. Edit- apparently not. Apologies. Hope he enjoys his day

The original question was why should a season ticket give the holder anything other than access to each home game. I don’t agree with that logic and to demonstrate I reversed the question but in relation to members buying tickets. I think season ticket holders should get priority, and I think people who attend cup games as members should as well.

I will also say that our season ticket holders (minus one thousand) bought and kept on their ticket in circumstances way removed from Liverpool’s. I don’t understand why it’s an issue that that loyalty gets rewarded (to a limited extent- pisser for anybody who has a season ticket but can’t make midweek games). @bobbydazzla Is spot on to point out that members who went to each cup game got shafted. I don’t really know how to solve that issue. But I don’t see why season ticket holders who went to cup games should be the ones to lose out.

A season ticket holder who didn’t go to cup games got put into Pot 6. Only season ticket holders who went to cup games got any advantage. I think members got a shit deal in general but not to the advantage of season ticket holders. Season ticket holders are supporters who have paid lots of money over a large period of time to continue going to games, often in fallow times. This is what is being recognised when they get priority in cup fixtures. It’s a pretty basic tenant of most if not all clubs’ ticketing arrangements and for obvious reasons. The real issue here is putting all the members into the same draw. That is what is unfair, and it’s just laziness on the part of the club.

Well, likewise, why should buying a ticket for a home game qualify the buyer for anything other than access to that home game?

They didn’t get priority did they? I thought they were in pot 6 too?

How come you could apply for your own and this one?

Am I missing something?

Is this the first pot members can apply in? That’s a bit wild. They might as well not bother with staggering the season ticket ballots in that case

Find it a bit of a mildly embarrassing feature of both our own and Sunderland’s trips to Wembley to be honest.

it doesn’t look that much different though does it? They still get outplayed and defeated in pretty much every game.

I know that we get told off by @LFEE for talking about this, but what happened in 2023 was they gave pots 4-6 different entry dates, but then did the ballot when all the names were entered. So it didnt matter if you were pot 4 or 6. This is why it was so markedly unfair and it was just laziness on the club’s part. Seems like they have fixed that this time.

Successful? Happy for you

130 without Nunez.

Just me that thinks Everton’s new ground looks bland as fuck?

Second.

This is what happened last time
