NEEJ Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 I'm having a real argument with myself about getting a season ticket. I have been saying for the last two years I would but haven't. The only real negative is if I get value for money as I doubt I'll make every home game. But then I counteract that with getting a family stand adult and child ticket for £445, spread over 8 months DD is £55 a month. It's also £113 cheaper than getting a single Cat 2 ST. If I randomly went to, say, 8 home games next season paying £35 a ticket that's near on £300 plus taking a kid along to a few games is going to put that over the total cost of the ticket for every game. Then there is the added bonus of being able to get away tickets easier and the 10 year deal which I doubt will come round again. Does anyone know that if I have an adult and child ticket in the family stand do I have to have a kid with me every time (and does it have to be the same kid as I have 6 - although only 4 are of an age I would take to the game). I wouldn't bring them up from London for midweek games and I'd have to share them out equally. Plus there may be occasions when I don't want a kid with me due to having an NOFC match or drinking session. If it would be a problem I'd then look at a single ticket - which would seriously p*ss off the wife and kids - and would push the cost to £70 a month. I have till Wednesday to make my mind up. Theyre never gonna know which kid is there, or if theres a kid with you at all. I was a disabled senior citizen for a while (about three years).

Fenham Mag Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 In further developments, I can only use the adult season ticket in the family stand 3 times without having a child with me. This could be an issue. Go down Scotchy, they'll borrow you a kid for the day. Kid will be delighted to get out of that slum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stumonkseatonmagpies Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Has anyone got any idea when the 1st DD will be taken for the Season tickets? and also how many from Level 7 are moving to the "Strawbeyy corner" do you think?

Guest SuperShola! Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Got the tickets sorted today. Did send my renewal back with cash in may but because it was cash, they forgot about me so I had to go over and sort it. She's booked me and my mate 2 seats in block D, South East corner, 6 rows from the pitch. Champion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Block D is the same height as the East Stand Upper and Gallowgate Middle Tier. Blocks A and B are the 2 blocks in the SE Corner at pitchside. I can tell you that i've been in Block D loads of times however and it's a cracking view! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SuperShola! Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Ohh well, wherever I am, i'm sure it's quality. Just hope there's a good atmosphere. Should be if the L7 lads are moving there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest SuperShola! Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Does anybody who sits in Level 7 know a bald bloke called Shaun/Sean? Whatever, somtimes he gets called Charlie?

Wallsendmag Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Does anybody know the lad called Scud who always wears weird hair wigs Aye. Not really that well, just to say hello to. He used to sit along from me in the Leazes Upper , towards the Milburn Stand side before the stadium extension in 2000. Then he moved up to Level 7 and then into Leazes Corner. Seen him at the West Brom match funnily enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonlass Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Does anybody know the lad called Scud who always wears weird hair wigs Aye. Scud is canny. He's the bloke who does/did the "Aroooga" noise and also, surprising enough, the scud missile sound. Really sound bloke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Stood right in front of me last three seasons, he was planning on moving to level 4. Fuck knows where he's going now, SE corner I would imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pav Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Standing hasn't been too much of an issue in the SE corner for cup games when it's usually got a block or 2 stood, as far as stewards are concerned. I remember one game there was a good few season ticket holders and most didn't mind that they had to stand. I doubt there'll be more than a few rows stood next season though, but I'm sure as the years progress more and more people will stand up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKSC Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 So I've pretty much decided to go ahead and get my season ticket tomorrow. Only decision left is if I go for the Family Stand, and lumber myself with one of my offspring for most of the games (but this may assist me in getting my user name changed to Most of My Kids Support Chelsea but some like the Toon a bit), or be selfish and buy one in the Gallowgate - the second would require some blatant lying to the wife as the agreement was for me to take a kid with me every week. Decisions Decisions. It is going to be a restless night. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes the train cheaper anyway and means I will get to spend time with my kids on a one to one basis every now and then. Hopefully it will also entice them to support NUFC. Well I'm dreaming about the last part anyway. You gonna come up 19 times a season, that is commitment. Will more than likely miss a couple due to work and family but if I get to at say, 13-15 games then it's worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
