Its annoying, attending a previous cup game should allow you to get a ticket to the next round (assuming it’s at home) All these Jonny come lately’s chasing glory It was for the Liverpool game, Tom. Can't make the SF as at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season ticket holders getting tapped 100% to get for mates a ticket for this game. still showing about a dozen in the milburn stand.... unless of course the site site is glitching again?

Renton 21591 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Getting to see the matches now is my reward for being a scab during the bad Ashley years. The irony being I doubt any ST boycotts had any effect on our purchase ultimately but I am feeling somewhat rewarded for suffering under Bruce when it was a fucking chore to go to the game, about akin to visiting the dentist. I guess alcohol helped looking back. Fucking wish I had kept my superior seats in the East stand though instead of moving to the NW corner. Would have been perfect for me now, best view of the match, blanket on me knees and a thermos flask. 1 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6582 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) I grew up going in the East Stand. Right on the half way line. One of my first memories at a match was the noise of Brian Tinnion twatting long diagonal balls. Dad used to bring a flask of bovril in. Mix that with a smell of fags and booze. Magic.

There was a few seats but when you clicked it glitches so were obviously taken or already being in the process of being bought. Didn't have bother for the Brentford, Palace and Bournemouth games funny enough. 8 minutes ago, Renton said: Getting to see the matches now is my reward for being a scab during the bad Ashley years.

Tom 14011 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 I don’t blame anyone for packing it in like, I’d more likely question the sanity of those who stayed. Ashley/Bruce was peak NUFC depression. It was boundless gloom punctuated by a giant sports direct mug full of piss. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the way shit goes sometimes. I know, in truth only kept an ST as part of the 10 year deal and to encourage the kids to get into the football. In the Ashley years I quite frequently gave them away (as nobody would buy the fuckers) and sometimes they weren't used at all. It's worked out well though, cos the kids aren't that bothered about going but they are getting to the age they can be left with friends/relatives more easily. But I am a bit worried about price increases now demand is so high tbh. Edited January 19, 2023 by Renton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 33142 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Fair chance next year I won't bother with getting the two memberships as it's £70+ for the fuck on of just trying to get a ticket plus she'll be over 18 so that's the decent chance of a pair of tickets and cheaper option of the family enclosure in L7 of the Millburn gone. Armchair fan it might just be from next year if things don't change as I just HaVeN't DoNe ThE HaRd YaRdS as the nufc twitter twats like to say from time to time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
