Was it previously 1500 quid to be a mascot? But now it’s free(?), but done through a ballot? If that’s correct both the Dad and Chronicle doing the kid absolutely no favours whatsoever.

Excellent work by the club if that's the decision they've made - now every child has a chance as oppose to only those who can either afford it outright or have the means to save for it.

I can get that the dad is a bit of an entitled divvy. Easy to get like when it concerns your kids though. Chronicle want shot with shit for running the story though. What kind of reaction did they think it was gonna get? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrone Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 No idea if Home and away is different, but the boy entered a comp on the NUFC website and won to be mascot away at Reading, ages ago now. It is/was part of the membership to be able to enter comps like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a great day to be fair. He got allowed in the changing room pre match, had a chat with Rafa, shirt signed by squad and walked out with Lacelles.

Mrdovenb Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 18 days before Burnley and not a peep from the Ticket Office re: member sales. What absolute troglodyte is in charge of these decisions? Burnley's away allocation has already been sold (and sold out). Literally no execute at this point.

I reckon they've got a responsibility not to facilitate those with little financial control to not over-extend themselves by buying 10 sets of tickets possibly for a family at once. Needs to be done about a fortnight quicker than it currently is though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's why they won't sell any more season tickets, in case people get themselves into financial strife by buying one I might write to the council insisting that Sven Adult Books limits the amount of jazz mags a customer can buy because some might not be able resist going into a jazz mag buying frenzy and end up wanking themselves to death Edited September 12, 2023 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superior Acuña Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I think when I was a kid it was a random ballot among Junior Magpies, that's what I believed at the time anyway. I was desperate to be one, but never saw it as likely. Closest I got was I went on a Junior Magpies away trip to Blackburn and they said they were going to pick one of us from the bus. Some cunt said it was his birthday straight away so they just gave it to him. Prick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Man City (H) Cup tickets, not on sale and no information available. Burnley (H) tickets, ballot information not available.. PSG (H) tickets not on sale and no information available. All of these are less than three weeks away, the first of which is now just two weeks away and would likely require the most 'work' from the Box Office. It's as if the BO are understaffed and too busy writing names on Milan tickets to do more than two things at once. And don't get me started on numerous complaints I've seen on twitter about people calling the BO to be on hold for 2 hours to then be cut off when it's their turn. How can people plan accordingly - it's not like the fixtures are going to change so they can release things well in advance and work on multiple things in a more controlled and slower way. This is like leaving 3 lots of homework until the last minute. They really do need to sort this out - this new chap in charge needs to hit the ground running.
