Got us by the bolllocks though because if you don't renew your membership there's zero chance of getting in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoSelecta Posted November 13 Share Posted November 13 8 hours ago, Tross said: Ballot results are shocking this season but tbh the resales have been much much better. I've only missed out on Liverpool this season but we all know why that queue was so big. Still believe there should be a cap on the memberships though. Ballot results last season and this season below for comparison: Why was the queue so big for Liverpool? Scousers buying memberships? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expect a few to get into our end and loads in corporate. Apparently there was absolutely loads of Arsenal fans in that Wings hospitality area at the last game.

If they’re willing to pay that then good luck to them… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be interesting to see if it's the same v Liverpool. Still remember when they took over our corporate areas en masse back in 2019 with a little help from Mike Ashley!

We sit in the row directly in front of it, so I often think how mad it is that people are paying x10 what we’re paying, effectively for the same view plus a bit of grub and a nicer bar area. Can’t say I noticed many Arsenal fans, although I wasn’t particularly looking, and unless they had colours on they wouldn’t have been conspicuous at any kind of distance.

If they’re willing to pay that then good luck to them… As others have mentioned the Liverpool game from a few years back. Nah, fuck that. For me the section of corporate that allows away fans is the directors box and applies to the away teams directors, owners, unavailable players, and their families only. Buying an expensive ticket in corporate, or semi-corporate isn’t the same, and should still be reserved for home fans only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye it was a proper bear pit atmosphere. I was up in Block V of the Gallowgate where loads of the daft lads used to congregate. About 5 minutes into the game I remember a Scouser getting thrown down the steps that separated U and V. He didn't have the nest of landings the poor soul After that the 1st half just seemed to be people trying to sniff out Scousers and those that were found, and there were a few, were getting dealt with rather harshly shall we say. I'm almost certain I had one sat directly in front of me. He was just sitting there quietly, but it was clear he was absolutely shitting himself from the start and he got up and left after Van Dijk scored their 1st goal and there must only have been about 15 minutes gone. What a waste of a ticket, and his money! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted November 14 Share Posted November 14 It was every 5-10 minutes or so someone was getting thrown out around me during that. Easily the most fun I've had at a match even though we lost. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a couple of Newcastle fans had been stabbed outside the Strawberry the season before and, for what seemed at least the last 20 minutes of the game, what felt like the whole ground were singing 'Chelsea must die'. Fortunately no one did, but Chelsea were chased all over the city with lads jumping over walls to get at them at Manors. Happy days...... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't born until 1978 and didn't start going until the final game of that season (Keegans farewell v Liverpool) but heard plenty of stories about when Chelsea would visit back in the day. Apparently a few of our fans were slashed by some of their lost in the Farmers Rest. Think of all the London clubs Chelsea would bring the biggest away following.
