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.

Scoot Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Just had a look on the website and decides to join the queue to see how many were trying to get free tickets. I was number 9508 in the queue. So it seems all will go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBG Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Wonder if current season ticket holders will get a new pen and badge set again this year as a thank you. Could throw in a super exclusive badge/tie that shows just how much of a soopa fan they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Honestly I try not to get annoyed about anything with the club these days, but shit like this gets under my skin. It just shows how bad things are, the numbers drop due to his absolutely shit running of the club, then he gets his fuckin patsy to come out and say numbers are down because geordies are hard up, and now he's made out to look like fuckin santa because people are lapping it up. Infuriating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgarve Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Someone has just put a screenshot on facebook showing they are number 12,382 in the queue for tickets! Ashley really must be pissing himself on the regular at how fucking easy this is for them. "Oh the geordies are being troublesome again, throw them some free tickets". Absolutely mind blowingly easy. No wonder he never sells up. It's honestly really depressing that a city like ours can be held over by some fucking chancer. I mean it is annoying on the pr side of things but I’m not turning down a free ticket like even if the seat goes empty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 The situation is hopeless, like. There will never, ever be a collective and meaningful revolt against the club from the fanbase. It's too far-reaching and comprised of too many levels of supporterdom. I was somewhat enthused by the partial emptiness - it made me feel like I wasn't the only contrarian arsehole out there. But the grim reality is: for every militant supporter who's had enough and is suffering through the torment of sacrifice, there's several hundred more grateful consumers, for whom the bigger picture means less than merely satisfying a craving for live events. Where some will only return following a change of ownership, for others a PR stunt and a cynical giveaway is all that's necessary to pull them back, or in for the first time. That said, I don't believe for a moment this gesture of goodwill has come from anyone at the club. Ashley giving away millions of pounds worth of goods? Not a chance. He'll get benefits from it in the long run, of course, but this isn't his style. It'll be a sponsor/Premier League issue: get it sorted. That Bruce and Charnerz are trying to get brownie points is a bit sickly and characteristically disingenuous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 We, as a fan base, really deserve everything we get with this club. If this was Sunderland, the same morons would have been pissing themselves laughing. There’s no hope for this club. I’m with the miserable bastards (which is now me) who want us to fail. That’s the only way for us to get our club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if you drew a venn diagram of people who've used the phrase "free ticket mackems" and are now snapping up the free tickets you'd get some good results Exactly.
