“Random” ballots. 
 

Expect our support to be embarrassingly quiet again with it being full of the selfie stick crowd.

Seriously find the 'hierarchy of support' thing developing, sad af. 

So what if someone decides to support the club now we're back in the land of hope? 

Goes with the territory. All aboard. 


yeah I’ve found the constant moaning and digs around the tickets to the final pretty depressing. I understand the disappointment. That’s not a dig at anyone on here it’s just been pretty relentless on social media

I've nowt against her, but isn't that Charlotte on record saying she doesn't/didn't have a ST post-takeover?

 

She's at most away games her. It does make you wonder.

Football fans always want it both ways. We complain about glory hunters but then we boast about which club has the most fans. None of it means anything.

I'm in the minority here but I don't think we were anywhere near as bad as people are making out, gave away two sloppy goals but aside from that looked comfortable. I don't agree either that they were playing in first gear, this is literally how they play every game . it's a poor league this year and they are going to be the worst champions since Leicester won the league .
 

Get Isak ,Joelinton and Botman in that team cut out the silly mistakes and we can give them match in the final.

I’m all for new people getting to go to big games and away games, everyone has to start somewhere  

 

I’m all for people who go regularly getting some recognition for their efforts with some form of priority scheme 

 

I’m all for reducing the untouchable power of a season ticket by getting members more aligned with them 

 

I’m strongly against anyone who turns up on any form of ticket and chooses to bitch and moan or not get involved in supporting the team on the pitch  

 

I just want some positivity in the stands and some balance when it comes to how different groups of fans are viewed by NUFC
 

We’re all comrades at the end of the day

"Media" will get tickets from their contact points at the club to cover matches they'd like to cover. I've put "Media" in quotation marks as it doesn't mean the same thing it once did (TV/Radio/Journalists), but now includes influencers, bloggers and more.

She's gone to the match for years.

strangely i'm more confident for the final than i was before last night's shit show.

 

I'm the opposite. Been quietly confident these past couple weeks. Had a feeling that our name was on the cup this year. Last night was a reality check. I know there has been some bed wetting, but we honestly didn't play that badly last night, and we still barely laid a glove of them. 

 

That being said, I do agree with @conjo in that at least we didn't use up our one jammy Liverpool win last night. If we had somehow won last night there's no way they would have allowed that to happen again in the final.

I think he's referring to away games and cup final tickets. Most big clubs don't give (almost) exclusive rights to ST holders for these tickets as there'll always be more people that want STs than can have them. It's not been an issue for us over the past 20/25 years as STs were almost always available and you could argue that the most dedicated fans should get priority. Since the new owners have stopped selling STs and members rights haven't been upgraded, all away tickets and about 98% of cup final tickets go ST holders/corporates. 

 

You could argue that the loyalist fans would have held STs under Bruce but that's a contentious subject putting it mildly. Plus, younger fans who are now in a position to go to the games also don't have the option of buying STs.

We’ve got 30,000 ST's, 99% sold pre Oct 2021. Almost 5 seasons ago.


It's a closed shop since 2022. New ST's don't exist.

 

ST's get massive priority or 100% exclusivity for aways, European games, cup finals, home cup

 

Compare to membership, which is just a £40 a year fee to buy tickets. Even if you never miss a home game you still can't go away and you got a miniscule chance of a cup final ticket


And you take your chance with tens of thousands of others in an online queue or ballot for all home games

 

No member can get an ST. Can't even get on an ST waiting list. Trapped at the bottom of the ladder. 

 

I’m not moaning about people who have ST’s. I’m moaning about the gulf between ST’s and members. NUFC should provide members with a ladder they can climb that brings the two groups closer

She’s on the record saying she’s not a season ticket holder, yet was able to be at Dortmund, Bournemouth and Sunderland away last season, likely more, when transfers weren’t even in place.

What can the club do about season tickets though? Only increase the capacity and thats under way. There isn't any answer other than that, is there?

 

The loyalty point debate for aways is another thing altogether, but i'm not sure there's another club in the world where season ticket holders aren't prioritised over others. It's just how it is.

This is exactly my thoughts.  I thought we did ok.  Best team won but it certainly wasn't the alamo or "Liverpool  were in 1st gear" bollocks.
