Just when I thought our fanbase couldn't be more divided. Having read the tweets, I think it has to be a wind up actually. And a proper tragic one at that.

Wraith is a proper Tory too is he not? Can't emphasize the amount of wankery  needed to feel necessary to advertise this. [emoji23]

Loads of old Newcastle match highlights have been added to YouTube recently, so I've been watching loads of them. I've always wondered what happened with Nikki Papavasilou and why he never played after the first few matches. I still don't know, but I found this. :notbad:

Made me have a look at his wiki.  He's managed 10 clubs in 10 years, now manager of Cyprus :lol:

How can selling on for face value be a criminal offence?

 

If it's away tickets, can they be looking at people buying tickets solely for the purpose of getting a loyalty point, then trying to sell on? Otherwise how can they argue it's illegal?

Doesn't matter if it's face value or not apparently. News to me, but unlike gig tickets...

 

If you buy a ticket for a football match and can’t go then you’re pretty much stuffed. If you sell it on to someone else without the club’s permission, even if it’s at face value, then you can be banned from going to any more games and given a criminal conviction. Of course this very rarely happens and the likelihood is that you’d only get such a harsh punishment if you were trying to make some serious profit on your ticket, but that’s not the point. The point is that nearly all big club have it written into the terms of sale that you’re not allowed to sell the ticket to anyone else and if you do they can throw the book at you.

 

No idea if this guy was selling it for face value or not mind, either way he just needs to be a bit more discrete or was pretty unlucky. Not heard of anyone else getting pulled for it, but maybe it's some new cuntish club policy?

As for his bit regarding Viagogo -

 

Viagogo, for example, has deals with Aston Villa, Chelsea, Fulham, Manchester City, Newcastle United, Queens Park Rangers, West Bromwich Albion, West Ham United, Wigan and Reading. Stubhub, another online re-seller, has deals with Sunderland Everton and Tottenham Hotspur.

It doesn't sound like it could be, they've been bought by you and you are passing them on to another person for compensation. I'm sure they've put some legal stuff in there to prevent folks doing this but you could take that to any length really, would it now be illegal to buy a pair of tickets for your 2 kids, they go and wash your car for a week as payment ?

 

Silly really what loss is it to the club, the tickets have been sold.

Last line is what it boils down to. If someone has touted a match ticket or attempted to tout then you'd expect the touter to be reported. But if the club have sold the ticket and made money, but that person can't go so sells on at face value to someone who can go and vocally supports the team, why should they charge people with criminal offences?

 

Pretty much makes the ticket board on here illegal then, so I'm taking that Facebook post with a pinch of salt.

Why don't we have a sleeve sponsor yet?

They're waiting til the dust settles after the non-event that was the transfer window to announce SD as the 'showcase' sponsor.

 

I a little surprised we've not got SD on the sleeve, unless there is some agreement with funwhatever to not have a sponsor on the sleeve. It's a missed opportunity for that fat git to get his store some free advertising something he's not been adverse to in the past. He could have put it on the back of the shirts last year too but didn't, not sure why.
