  1. They also make a lot more than 20% - think I get £30 back for my ticket which they no doubt flog for something daft like £55, plus as you say drinks/food etc. It's idiotic behaviour from the club, and just another way to treat ST holders like dirt (when we were treated like saints during all the shit years when they were grateful anybody bothered to turn up).
  2. There are 62 seats in A2, that they probably only put on sale very recently as they're unsold Lower Grounds tickets. Absolute **** farce.
  3. I hope this email finds you well. I am emailing following the enquiry that you sent to Lee. As per the resale terms and conditions, The Re-Sale Scheme will only operate, and the Re-Sale Period will only start once the Club has sold all the available tickets for the relevant Match. Currently, we have a large number of tickets available in A2 for Newcastle and we are observing a vast amount of late refund requests. This in addition to the less favourable kick-off time has contributed to the current availability of general admission seats for the Newcastle match which has not yet sold out. Therefore, it is currently unlikely that resale seats will become active for this game. If, however, you are unable to attend, you also have the option to reassign your season ticket to another supporter. If you know someone who would like to attend in your place, please consider this alternative, and this reassignment can be facilitated by contacting the ticket office.
  4. I've just emailed Lee Preece about the ticket situation. Ridiculous that the club is turning down revenue and annoying ST holders for absolutely no reason.
  5. Yep, trying to resell my ticket and nothing yet. Ridiculous system.
  6. Only caught the last half hour - by the looks of the match thread I got the best of it. Thought we looked good fwiw, don't welcome the replay though.
  7. We got down in the mud and wrestled with a pig, and the pig loved it.
  8. Should Watkins amputate his arms before he jumps? His arm wasn't even raised.
  9. The only feasible place really is the Wheels site, which apparently the noses are eyeing up (no chance of them moving to a brand new stadium though).
  10. Well, let's see. Turning something like the Warehouse into another "GA+" facility, putting STs up 30% and reducing their number to increase the amount of day trippers will massively increate revenue. It may not quite match what new corporate areas could do, but it'll increase revenue without spending £100m+ on a new stand that might take 15-20 years to pay back, and let's face it they're not here for the 15-20 year long haul. I assume they'll also look at other internal refurbs in the trinity to try and max out corporate space.
  11. I think it makes perfect sense from a short-term corporate American point of view. We can spend £100m, and make £50 a game from 50k fans Or we can not spend £100m, take advantage of the demand outstripping supply and make £63 a game from 40k fans. Same revenue, no cost. Of course it means some existing ST holders won't be able to afford to attend games, but their seats can be given to people who don't come every week who'll spend more on the ticket and other stuff at the ground. From a business perspective, it makes massive sense. From a fan perspective it's not so good, but since when did we matter.
  12. 7/2 on Sheffield United or Draw Double Chance if anyone wants a consolation prize for Christmas.
  13. If (and it's a big if because there are no easy games) we're ahead and looking comfortable, I'd be looking to get McGinn subbed off ASAP. A yellow here would really **** us for Old Trafford.
  14. Are you daring to suggest that Filip Marshall might not be as good as world cup winner and best goalkeeper in the world Emilio Martinez?
  15. It was noticeable towards the end of the arsenal game when usually we'd go a bit quiet and tense almost waiting for the inevitable equaliser, instead we roared the team over the line. It was great to be a part of it. Maybe part of that growth and belief.
  16. Sold out at the 3+ Away Conference League matches level didn't it? If people are buying tickets and not bothering to go they should be blacklisted for any other european tickets, there's plenty more of us who'd love a chance.
  17. Lots of people mentioned Tim, but as much as I'd like to see him start and have a chance to show what he's got, I'm pretty sure he's not named in the squad. I'd be happy to give Chambers a bash at centre half. The stinker he had was at right back which isn't really his position.
  18. No idea why refs put up with it. Someone wags their finger in my face like that they're getting told firmly to **** off. Should have sent the cheating prick off.

    Matty Cash

    He's got the best song so he's the first name on the team sheet for me Clive.

    Unai Emery

    I adore the man. I cannot believe he is our manager. I would die for him.
