Haz Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 My seat is mid centre of the goal, up in L7. I like that view and i am used to all the great folks around me. Does this mean that I will have to move to the present away fans corner and the away fans will take up where i was sitting? If so they can fuck off.

Guest toonlass Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I am happy enough, £50 for me and £50 off my bairns season ticket, just to move along a couple of section, Cheers nufc I am happy with the £100 back in my pocket. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It's sad that some people can't accept change for the greater good. I'm sure that not everyone will benefit in the same way from this decision, in fact, some people may consider themselves to have lost out - if only slightly; however, for the club as a whole this is an excellent move and should be applauded by most. This is what the "fans wants" - something that would never have got off the ground under the old regime. Fair play to Ashley, even moreso for balancing out the fall in income from the corporate folk - if nufc.com are to be believed - I'm surprised at the level of mistrust/cynicism coming from some people. As for new applications, with the extended family area I'm considering taking along my 11-year old cousin and getting a cheaper family ticket (£400 for the two of us?), do I apply on my renewal form for him, or make a fresh application?

WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 dunno if its been mentioned, I can't be arsed to flick through 4 pages tbh, but what do people reckon the idea will be for getting a season ticket rather than renewing? Is their a waiting list? I gave mine up for this season (had been in the Milburn paddock for the past 7 years) with starting uni, and having to watch how much I've spent, but I've managed to be sensible/save up and fancy returning. If there's no waiting list, would people recommend me just ringing up/calling into the box office a day or two after the renewal deadline has passed?

toonpete1892 Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 As the away fans are now placed against the glass at one side of the Leazes, does that mean the ground capacity will increase? its currently stated as 52,347 but thats counting two lots of segragation (unsure how many rows there are up there but the normal segragation is between 5 - 10 seats wide).

Keefaz Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 It does sound like there will be a small capacity increase as they are also apparently going to use seats behind the dugouts that aren't being used at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest toonlass Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Absolute crap if I may say so mickcee. I have sat in different places in the ground and moved up to level 7 last year, and its been a great view and a better atmosphere that most places.

Thespence Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Will they stick to that deadline? Even Glasto cant sell out this year with CC so how these pricks start whacking in deadlines is beyond belief.

Last year I advised a lad on herewho wanted a season ticket to go to the ticket office & get one & he did, he had been waiting for about 3 (IIRC) years for the ticket office to get in touch.

Guest paulod Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Its like the SOS season all over again, got moved when the Milburn was extended from the best place in the ground, Milburn near the Leazes corner, brilliant atmosphere and a great set of lads. Got scattered allover the ground, the club renewed my bond but i'm getting moved from the dearest normal seat again to make way for a load of kids, i'll be mighty pissed off if i have to watch from behind a goal as i hate doing that at away grounds as you can't see half the game. Season ticket for 25 years before anyone asks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Brazilianbob Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Ok its great that the well known players etc are recognized by naming suites, stands and bars after them, but they have been well rewarded in financial terms by the club. Wouldn't it be nice if the club recognized the fans and named a suite, bar or stand after a long serving fan for a change? Lets start a campaign to have the club recognize those supporters that supported them through the thin years, namely ME!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I think what's also been considered is the fans who prefer to sit through the game and get pissed off by people persistently standing in front of them. I would assume that the stewarding in the 'vocal' section will be a bit more relaxed and anyone taking the cheap option really can't complain if they end up standing throughout. If that is the case I wonder what the council make of it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
