Guest Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Ashley isn't really losing out on the deal here considering he's put standard season tickets up by 25% over the last 2 seasons. He’s losing out because a lot of people would have paid that if he’d did enough to keep Benitez on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoForJoy Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Ashley isn't really losing out on the deal here considering he's put standard season tickets up by 25% over the last 2 seasons. He's pissing his paying customers off and pissing the pick and choose customers off (the one's that went to the Man U and Arsenal matches.) He's also publicly devaluing the brand.

Evil cycle starts when giving out free tickets. Look what happend at Sunderland. Let's hope it continues so nobody dares buy tickets anymore in fear of losing out on freebies.

Wallsendmag Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Ashley isn't really losing out on the deal here considering he's put standard season tickets up by 25% over the last 2 seasons. He’s losing out because a lot of people would have paid that if he’d did enough to keep Benitez on. But he's saved around £5m per year in wages from what he was paying for Rafa and the pittance he's giving Bruce. Ironically probably what 10k season tickets are worth!

LV Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 Got to say I'm delighted that the "support the team" lads not only didn't wanna protest, but made the atmosphere that bad that Ashley is giving out free tickets and they're the ones getting punished. INJECT IT RIGHT INTO ME Just have a quick scoot on twatter, dummies are being hoyed out everywhere "I've been buying my season ticket for years and never gave up, what do I get??". :lol: You get your just desserts, that's what you get need to have a nice read of that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGuv Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 I genuinely despair at the reactions of many ‘fans’ to this news. They’re lapping it up. How blind can you be man? As every week goes by I feel less and less attached to my club. The only thing that keeps me going is waiting for the day Ashley goes - my fear is that I’ll never ever get the passion back. I feel it’s been drained away forever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 How many are on these 10 year plans? I’d not be surprised at all if these get some sort of freebies next season to reward their loyalty, or continued discounted pricing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newintoon Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I remember when I purchased a half season ticket, sold Cabaye in the January didn’t replace him and went on one of the worst home runs Newcastle have ever seen with Pardew at the helm, I sense something similar around the corner Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stabmasterareson Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Well if anyone would like to nominate me for a ticket PM me, it'd be much appreciated! yikes Fair enough and probably the correct response. I'm transplanted to the UK from overseas and will only be able to make a few games anyways, but there's still something about going to a match at SJP, and having a day out in Newcastle, after well over a decade of following on TV, that really excites me. But fuck me I haven't been able to bring myself to spring for train and match tickets since I gave up my season ticket two years back and if this gets me to a match or two I'd be happy about it. That's despite everything Ashley has done to the club and I imagine as a non-newcastle native it's a lot easier for me to dissociate the two. But yeah - yikes is still probably correct.

Gallowgate End Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 According to Chris Waugh of the Athletic one of the reasons why we aren’t selling out anymore is because of the football in the last 2 and a half years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 But Bruce has been playing nothing but attacking football since coming in. You'd think fans would be snapping up tickets to see the Barcelona of the North. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 This is absolutely perfect, he's now doing his best to alienate the "support the team" arseholes. I'd be fucking livid if I was paying £700 for a ticket knowing that 5000 or so people in the stadium were getting in for absolutely nowt, having potentially cancelled their tickets in the summer.

TK-421 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Yeah, Totalsport very similar last night. Loads of supporters ringing in to give Steve Bruce credit for the recent run/form, and Ando getting shirty saying that if Benitez had gone on this run he'd have been hailed a tactical genius, whereas many still won't give Bruce the same credit. Yet totally ignoring that the 'tactical genius' that is Steve Bruce, is basically using Rafa's tactics, since his own tactics got us humped 0-5 at Leicester. Also, one caller claiming that he likes Bruces' 'positive substitutions', which have changed games... yet (and I may be wrong) but does Bruce not just make 'like for like' changes, and never really attempts to change the formation or setup if it isn't working?

Wallsendmag Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 People saying take up the option and leave the seat empty obviously don't know Ashley very well. The turnstiles are all electronic so they know every season ticket that is being used and which ones aren't. If any of these free ones aren't used for the first couple of games the club will simply cancel them and release them back for matchday sales.
