Guest firetotheworks Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I think this has been asked before, but apart from the obvious stuff (camera, eyes, an open heart) what would people that have done the SJP stadium tour recommend that I take with me?

Jill Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Sure this was discussed a while back, wasn't there something about how you used to play local rivals at new year because it was less distance to travel? No idea on any specific matches though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Slippery Sam Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 What happened on New Years Day? And why has every set of supporters got a song about fighting with their rivals because of it? The mists of time frustrate me. Someone can put the meat on these bones. NUFC beat Sunlun 3-1 iirc on new year's day in, er, '83 (can't be arsed to check it)? No fighting as such as sunlun always 'ran away' - the words just come from that era of 'boot boy' etc. EDIT: It's our song, btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 What happened on New Years Day? And why has every set of supporters got a song about fighting with their rivals because of it? always thought ours was more to do with 1985. Beardsley's hat-trick, rather than fighting.

And why has every set of supporters got a song about fighting with their rivals because of it? always thought ours was more to do with 1985. Beardsley's hat-trick, rather than fighting. the line "the sunderland ran away" should be a clue. anyhoo, there was a vogue for while of having derbies on new years day (to save fans having to travel the length of the country.....makes sense really, todays fixture lists compilers could learn a lot) so manmy clubs will have a song about chasing their local rivals on that day.

Disco Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 How does Viagogo work? Can I, a season ticket holder who can't attend the match, sell my seat on there? Yes but generally unless it's very high demand no-one will buy it as you have the lowest you can sell for is face value (+ their ridiculous fees). Would make more sense if you could flog it for less given that nobody is losing out that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seen people selling theirs on there for 100 quid and upwards. I couldn't charge that much like, it's shocking. I usually just share it out between my mates and my dad for free.

Al Moody Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 Hmm - because I haven't renewed my season ticket for next season (due to moving away) it won't let me register my current and valid ST to Viagogo because despite being ST holder this season, my status logging into nufc.co.uk now is back to General Sale instead of Season Ticket Holder.
