aye, seen that earlier. pretty sure for home games tickets are appearing on resale sites before they've been made available for membership purchase. seems the club have differing ideas on touting depending on who's doing it. pass on a ticket to a mate for face value.... lose your loyalty points, season ticket, stadium ban and eventually got chucked in the slammer.

I like the fully enclosed bowl, I'd imagine the crowd noise has the potential to be phenomenal. having worked with metal all me working life I tend to get a bit sick of the sight of the stuff, so I'm not too keen on the cladding. I'd have been tempted to go more rustic and gone for the cob effect and covered it in mud and straw, a bit like this...

seemingly £1b badly spent then?!

fancy something like this on the leazes park site?

looks like a happy kid having a great time to me. like to know how the little cunt got his ticket though.

does that include a non id'able ticket?! though seriously.... wonder how set up for all this digital shite psg/milan/dortmund are?

anything less than 6 wins and I think we're doomed to be honest.

apparently n.u.s.t. have deleted the tweet above.... n.u.s.t. are as much of a fucking shambles as the box office is, and that shouldn't even be fucking feasible!

imagine.... six pointers with everton again. the fucking horror.

bizarre. nowt would surprise me mind if they've ficked up somehow, they've hardly covered themselves in glory in the box office of late.

can't see nowt on the official site when logged in, nowt in home tickets other than the saudi International games, nowt showing in ballots, not had an email about it and there's no queue it system showing. and yet n.u.s.t. have apparently tweeted this, I can't see it....

hopefully we'll improve enough to avoid relegation.

all looked fit and sharp enough in the aston villa game to me.

I ring me 86 year old dad up after every match and he was fucking livid about this, was still ranting on about it when I called him after the brighton game. there's maybe a place for the players to have their little'uns on the pitch after the last home game of the season, but that's it. astonished too that howe allowed it.

the velodrome was an incredible experience in '04 even as a then open bowl, the chant the home support did which was started from one end behind the goal and then mirrored from the opposite end was incredible, was like listening to quality stereo, reminded me of being a kid and listening to shine on you crazy diamond with me head between the speakers after a few spliffs of squidgy black! must be awesome now it's got a roof on. loved marseille too, proper edgy city and their support were fantastic after the match.

the performance in our first game against villa seems like a long and distant memory. the warning signs were there before the liverpool game, we failed particularly in the 1st half against man city to pose anything like a meaningful threat, only marginally more so in the 2nd half and this at time when we were expected (hoping) to give the blue mancs their most difficult game against us in living memory. against the red dippers it was nothing short of fucking scandalous that we failed to capitalise on having a man advantage, we spent what felt like an eternity at times passing backwards and forwards midway between our penalty area and the halfway line or even back to pope. it was fucking embarrassing. surprised you only had it down as a draw, I thought it was home banker, you've got a very good team, but by god we did little to give you much to worry about overall.

think that twitter account has clarified that the photo above was taken during the 1st half. mate of mine down here who went up with me to elland rd last season jacked his s.t. in after benitez walked and has a dozen or so loyalty points on his nufc account still showing on his supporter number which is now applied to his membership. wasn't allowed to purchase a ticket at all. he should in theory have been able to buy one before that last point drop happened. he's spitting feathers this morning since seeing that photo!

@PaddockLad never noticed on the tv to be honest but have seen it mentioned in a few places now including .com about how many empty seats were in the away end yesterday. is the photo below doctored from near the end of the match after people were leaving to distort the reality or a true reflection? appreciate there was train strikes, perhaps even the possibility of folk buying a ticket during that last mad rush of 1000 tickets on 1 point who had no intention of going just to get their 'loyalty' rating up? be well pissed off though if as some people are suggesting that the allocation was under-subscribed and there was a reluctance by the club to sell to membership holders. ticketing system has been an unmitigated fucking disaster by nufc for this season.

brighton supporters are very rightly taking the piss man.

as the brighton supporters sang.... champions league you're having a laugh,. fucking abysmal this mind, 3rd game in a row.

I think this is him here, although nobody knows his true identity for sure....

ah, the tried and tested 'not winning right now model' hugely successful during their double relegation seasons and whilst they languished in the 3rd division for 4 years. its a policy they should definitely stick with.

gonna get me fireblade back on the road, just worked out I can be in paris quicker than me chauffeur takes to drive from cheltenham to newcastle.

get my claim in first...... looking for spares for paris, milan and dortmund.

the red light areas of saint denis won't know what's fucking hit them.
