I can’t be arsed myself walking through the concourse and having to push my way through or get a piss a lot of the time so no idea how a 10 year old would like it but I know people do it. Started going to games when I was 9/10 in very early 90s and was brought up in West Country so was mainly away ends against Swindon, Bristol (Rovers and City) with home games being stood in gallowgate. Was all terraces and wouldn’t swap those memories for anything. 5/6 I’d agree might be a little too young for away days but need to feed the passion if a kid is growing up loving football.

Just leave them alone and let them watch their kids ya cunts Trippier got hammered last week too. No idea if the redhead lass is his wife or not, but she wasn't haven't it and kept telling to get a move on. Must be shite like that you can't drop your kid off or even stay to watch them play, as you know you'll end up having to pose for pictures without people saying as much as hello, how you doing.

LFEE Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 4 hours ago, Wandy said: Yeah I saw that, fair play to him. Doesn’t make me think any different about the point I made though. The new ticketing policy will allow more newbie/fair weather dickheads and people who generally don’t give a shit about the club to get tickets ahead of those who have been going for decades through thick and thin. I’m well aware that the club need to grow the fanbase, and of course all are welcome but it shouldn’t be at the expense of those who have been propping the club up for years. Playing devils advocate how have they been the ones propping the club up for years? The ones refusing to fall in line with ID checks mustn’t have had STs and amassed any of their own away points hence depending on others so all their money a part from £1 per booking has been propping up the opposition clubs surely at £30 per game? If they did have STs and propping up the club they could’ve attended Gateshead & Rangers and those 2 loyalty points would’ve been enough to get tickets for first few aways this season alone.

It’s such a nonsensical position that people are just taking as read. And, honestly, how many people that fucked off home games genuinely kept travelling away? The number would be in single figures. What’s happened is that Newcastle got really good and people who previously had given up any interest in going suddenly rediscovered an interest. Which is fine. Ashley etc. But now these people are telling us about how unfair the whole process is, which seems slightly less fine. And let’s not forget, the basis for their falling back in love with the club is the fact that it is now ran by the Saudi state. It is hard to have all that much sympathy.

It's astonishingly offensive to be giving the players, and Trippier out of all of them, shit about their first bad performance in arguably years when they're blatantly out on their feet BECAUSE they've worked so hard and keep winning games which keep us in all these competitions without anything like the squad to properly cope with it. If not, it sounds like they should've been savvy and thrown the Man City league cup match for a quiet life. Fuck the 'silverware dreaming' fans hopes, eh? I appreciate the guy coming out publicly afterwards and holding his hands up - a direct apology would be a good move - but at the time what he needed was a solid right hook.

I guess the argument would be then that those propping it up financially now want a go at propping it up vocally. Will be wise to delay judgment on things until end of the season with regards to the vocal atmospheres Home & Away. Went to Fulham, Spurs, Brentford, Villa, Chelsea and another that escapes me away last season. Felt Fulham was flat for spells then canny but then the game was flat also as jeopardy removed early in the game. Spurs not great either but was a nervy 90mins and weather awful with no cover. Brentford was canny but limited allocation. Villa was terrible but we hardly touched the ball. Chelsea was great but no jeopardy in the game. 1 Loss. 1 Draw. 3 Wins. So far I feel home games are slightly better than last season’s corresponding fixtures but they’ve all been pretty good games were the crowd has felt it’s needed to play it’s part Palace aside. 1 very late loss and 6 wins. Haven’t touched on the UCL games obviously. Honestly think far too much is being made of the ticketing but still early days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s early days and they have a mountain of stuff to fix so they deserve the benefit of the doubt. You’re never going to eliminate swearing and rowdiness from the game, I’m afraid. And nor should we want to either tbh. Have a read, I think people need to stop this I'm bigger and better than you bullshit. I've supported Newcastle longer, bla, bla. It's fucking painful. We're all fans, nobody needs to justify how they got a ticket to go to a game they have wanted to go to! Basically one daft twat decides a USA flag on a baseball cap means he can engineer a conversation about a fan at a game, whether its his first away game ever, or his one hundredth.

Pilko Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) I wonder if the "personal matter" might be Eddie doing that thing you can do on FM re: "set International instructions" and asking Southgate not to play him unless he needed him or maybe only for a half etc and then he goes and makes him do a 90 min stint against a pub team Wouldn't be surprised if we pulled him out on that basis.
