Although I do remember one glorious day that season I had to leg I round to the Leazes for some reason, v Bristol City I do recall. Fucking Keegan wrecking everything. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much was the 1st ticket you bought for St James? Think mine was £3. The scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrokendoll 10220 Posted February 25 Author Share Posted February 25 give the bindippers their due, their sale was 25% priority ticket holders. the other 75% was a ballot for season ticket holders/members.... no preference for the former. everybody in the 75% therefore had a 1 in 2 chance of a ticket. it has to be the way forward. a season ticket holder rents a seat for 19 games, it's not 'theirs'. cup scheme should be abolished, it's fucking bollocks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scoreboard. Christ I wouldn’t have a clue, I only remember that £6 because it was the first season I’d managed to get to every home game (ironically until after the first couple of Keegan games - moved abroad for work) Before that tickets, rather than just paying on the gate, were only if I went in the seats with me dad and would have no clue on the cost, he usually paid! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mate who’s had his ST since 1980 and goes to all home cup games would disagree I reckon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 5099 Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 Daughter got two in the ballot today. A bitter sweet moment. Obviously I’m delighted for her, usually we attend games together and went to Trafalgar Square last time. Alas, she has acquired a boyfriend in recent months and I am no longer the apple of her eye In fairness, I had already decided not to go this time and she did ask me yesterday if I wanted to be included in the ballot. God knows how she’s going to get there! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toontastic’s very own Victor fucking Meldew. pointing out that having a season ticket doesn't make you some kind of superfan (including your mate) with a god given right to a claim to a ticket above every fucker else doesn't count as incessantly moaning man, it's just a fucking fact. I was really hoping to get a ticket through their fucking shite pot 6 ballot because the miles I've put in for cup games this season possibly merits it, but mostly because although humbled by the amount of money my 87 year old father has forked out for a ticket for me, I also feel quite embarrassed and torn by the ethics of it. I would like to have given him his money back. hope that clears that up for you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebrokendoll 10220 Posted Wednesday at 17:09 Author Share Posted Wednesday at 17:09 oh and another fucking thing that's shite.... on top of the ticket price, the petrol money, the travel time, the crush in the concourse, the restricted view, the lack of club recognition for me efforts. I only go and wake up this morning to find birmingham city council have sent me a clean air zone penalty charge notice for visiting their shithole poxy city and hovel of a football ground. so how many superfan points do I get fir that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
