Not including games against Spurs, yes. However fellow Tyneside teams have done well at the new Wembley, Whitley Bay, North Shields, and Hebburn all winning cup finals there.

Gallowgate Toon Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) Rashford has scored 16 from an xg of 8.5 or something, apparently. Crazy compared to how poor he looked last year. I remember when they came up here - apart from one shot, he was misplacing simple passes etc. Edited February 20, 2023 by Gallowgate Toon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not dragging everything wide now. As his confidence grows with the goalscoring though that side of his game is starting to improve as well.

NE27 Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 Anything near reputable reselling any tickets for this? Have a friend who is willing to pay pretty reasonable coin but it's an obvious minefield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how they’ll be able to do that but there’s always a risk. The only way to guarantee a ticket is to take out the 3 year club Wembley membership which will set you back about £7.5k in total. Gets you all england games, Fa Cup semis and final, carabao cup final and charity shield. You can sell any tickets you can’t use on their portal but it’s obviously a risk you may be stuck with tickets you don’t want. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah not sure she's willing to drop the amount for CW as unlikely she would make any of the other events, nor want too. Imagine it's the same for a lot.

pinkeye Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 I called the club this morning to ask whether it would be possible to regrade a ticket that I bought using my dads season ticket as he is now unsure whether he can go due to his health. I wanted to make it into an adult ticket so that I can give it (FOC) to a friend of mine. The girl on the phone told me that they were not doing any regrading and that if he is not going they would expect me to return the ticket so they can refund me the 21Quid that it cost. I said I was going to keep it in case he changes his mind to go but, if he doesnt someone else would use it. Then I was told that if the ticket was used by anyone other than my dad they would then review his right to own a season ticket and potentially exclude him from St James'.... I mean WTF? He is 83 with terminal lung cancer caused by exposure to asbestos when he was younger. Are they really going to do that? In recent weeks when he hasn't been going I have paid to upgrade his season ticket to an adult every time - the user is never challenged at ST James' even though the yellow light comes on when the ticket is scanned. I am a bit pissed off with the club over this, trying to do the right thing and I end up with a threat hanging over my head as to whether I should just send the Wembley ticket back.... I am honestly giving his ticket to my friend for nothing. It is not like I am trying to sell it for hundreds... Anyone have any experience of Wembley and how likely it is that we would be challenged? All three tickets I have are identical, they all have the full price printed on but, two of them - my dads and my sons have the letter C (assume for concession) written on in pen. will that effect the bar code and will it somehow behave differently on teh entry point at Wembley?

Consett lost the Vase final there. But I guess they’ll not be classed as “Tyneside and Northumberland”. Think West Auckland did too, but same probably applies. Gateshead lost the playoff final too didn’t they (think that was new Wembley?). But that’s probably not a “cup final”. So, you can probably argue your stat is correct, although there’s a load of caveats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it happens, Consett lost it to Hebburn, and West Auckland lost it twice, one of them being Dunston. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there’s some way to recoup their outlay. However, this kind of thing has to be done to stamp out touting. We’re all seeing these sites putting tickets up for £2k+, thinking ‘that’s a disgrace’, but if no-one does anything it’s never going to change. How these sites are allowed to operate in the first place when it’s supposed to be illegal to resell a football ticket above FV, is another question entirely.

Just so I’m understanding this as a bit of a contradiction… You could buy a one off ticket without a membership that’s being resold via an official Wembley resale site but not an unofficial resale site?
