Guest neesy111 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 wouldn't surprise me if our allocation at the mackems is cut because of this, might explain the delay We'll reduce their allocation if that is the case and the club will imo appeal any shit like that with all of their pitch invasions.

Guest neesy111 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Doesn't affect the majority of our away support. Yeah, doesn't effect you but it'll have a impact on all of our London fans who will probably stop going to London away games now. Also more and more games are going on general sale each season as more fans are starting to pack it on for good. Don't blame them as well. It's only £20 for crying out loud, if you are going to let that stop you from doing something you love to do then more fool you. Aye, typical Stu response sucking up to Ashley and Co as usual.

Scoreboard82 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Part of me thinks we are all looking too far into this. Perhaps this is little more than a chance for the club to make a quick buck on the back of what happened at Darlo? You are looking too far into it - it's designed to make people more accountable for their behaviour at away games. Using an existing mechanism to achieve this end makes perfect sense Because what happened at Darlo is a regular occurence... Certainly not the 1st time there's been trouble at a nearby friendly. There was bother in Carlisle a few seasons back, and i hope i'm wrong but i wouldn't be surprised to see it at Leeds either, where similiar behaviour will meet its match.

Scoreboard82 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Just been wondering about the Leeds away match. I'm neither a member nor a season ticket holder but I've already purchased my tickets for the Leeds away. Surely they cant apply this new ruling retrospectively? I'm pretty sure they said that it wouldn't affect anyone with a Leeds ticket. I think you'll be ok. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest toonbaz Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'd be interested to know if any other clubs in the premiership operate such a system. as someone who tends to go to 1 or 2 away game a season and cant commit to a season ticket it will make me think twice about my next away game when my next ticket price is boosted by 20 quid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MW Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Think Millwall have this system, bit extreme tbh, we're hardly the worst behaved. wouldn't surprise me if our allocation at the mackems is cut because of this, might explain the delay We'll reduce their allocation if that is the case and the club will imo appeal any shit like that with all of their pitch invasions. They're more guaranteed to sell out their allocation than if we got extra tickets from an away reduction, especially considereng we've struggled to sell out the past couple derbies ££££ will make them not reduce the mackems guaranteed sell out IMO And I would be surprised to see our lot sticking up for our fans having a reduced away allocation, won't affect them in the slightlest financially.

I've never experienced or seen any kind of trouble at away matches in the ten or so years I've been going to games... Darlington was a freak incident.

No it wasn't, it was just more open than usual and was inside the ground on the pitch. There's always stuff bubbling away under the surface and away from the ground.

Guest Haris Vuckic Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Too right. Leeds fans will assault pretty much anyone they think is a toon fan for no reason and they've been doing it for decades.

AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I always wear my shirt when going to away games, wouldn't cross my mind not to. That said, I don't go for a pre-match pint or anything so I'm probably not hanging out in the places you get spontaneously attacked. A soldier wears his uniform without fear... it's your duty.
