Yes, but wasn't sure who to @ to get the wheels going?

I'd go for

NUSC NUST Wor flags etc just as many nufc accounts as possible

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Anyone who works for the club as well.

All I would say about going public via social media is be prepared for some negative responses.

 

The majority of people will be supportive, going off the facts you’ve stated here, but you’re also going to get ‘you knew what the rules were, no sympathy’ (and probably worse). 
 

Not saying you should let that stop you from doing it if you think it’s the right thing, but just be wary not to end up wasting your time becoming embroiled in pointless online arguments with inconsequential people.

[El Prontonise]

The ability to not be able to transfer tickets (legitimate) or put them up for resale like ST holders can if something comes up last minute is an absolute disgrace.

Since had a response from NUFC Trust who are in firm agreement with the stance taken by the club being too firm. 
 

Formal complaint lodged via email and stage 2 of their complaints procedure, with board members at the trust cc'd in and giving their backing to us. 
 

Let's hope it gets a resolution. 

[Wullie]

If the government are insistent on having a football regulator they should be starting with this sort of bullshit.

Thought that first sentence was going the complete opposite direction at first.

 

Glad you've got some back up and hope they see sense.

[Tross]

Heard Wor Flags ditched the KK display in favour of a 'WE STAND WITH JP' one instead. 

[wormy]

I'd have donated double what I did for KK tbh.

You might want to read this just out today. Quite a bit on Home & Away ticket issues and punishments. Wouldn’t get your hopes up too high.

Ditto. 

 

1 from all them Barr the two I forgot 🙄

 

Can get 1st dabs on Gazelles tho 

[patrone]

So its would appear we have gone from a 1-3 chance to over a 1-7 in th ballots now (on average)

 

 

 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Always seemed a fair estimate that your chances are about half of what they were last season. 
 

A 1 in 5 chance, for example, can lead to very long losing streaks. 
 

As much as it allows me to go to every game, it wasn’t fair to bring general sale back. 

[patrone]

Oh it suits me just great this "new" way, but obviously there's a load that it doesn't 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I guess the justification was listening to the fans who wanted it, but it’s clearly unfair. 
 

Not that absolute fairness is the only criteria I guess. You might want to allow some advantage to the people who are prepared to put effort into the general sale. 

[SteV]

Ultimately demand is outstripping supply to such a degree that they’re pretty much in a position where they can’t win whatever they do.

 

Not to say they shouldn’t keep taking feedback, and continue to look to tweak things based on that, but it’s never going to be enough.

It’s not fair to let thousands of miserable old codgers cling on to season tickets because they’d prefer to boo & hiss at Sean Longstaff than go shopping with their wives 

 

Moral of the story: life’s not fair

My mates ticket got resold as expected (more touting than we're guilty of imo )

Also lovely to see several Liverpool fans in Gallowgate block V - I'm sure they all attended using the correctly named ticket 
 

 

[Sima]

I saw four young lasses waving a flag on the Gallowgate upper concourse with half and half scarves.

 

Game's gone.  He thought while pouching his salt and pepper chips.

[JP]

Club have resumed my mates membership for the season.

No sign of refund on the lost tickets but we've had some form of backtrack and recognition the punishment was top heavy.

So, West Ham, Brentford and Liverpool tickets cancelled no refund. But membership still valid now for the rest of the season.

Not sure where he would stand on Carabao cup history should we make the final, dare say he wouldn't fall under the 100% purchase criteria.
