So we will both have to go into the lottery on Thursday. And then try to upgrade the child's ticket for an adult. My optimism is floundering too, so I'm thinking we will lose anyway now so this is all a bit of a ballache tbh. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howmanheyman 33142 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 I'm starting to see a lot of stuff on twitter including the odd humble brag about rewarding those that watched the shite. Honestly, can see me staying away from that place for a bit as I seem to recall watching my fair share of shite as well. (Usually the same age group who come out with it as well in my experience, twenty/thirty something cunts). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's under Mrs Rent's e-mail but we forewarned about the categories as per CT's post and worked it out, now just verified by trying to book online. It's a tricky one because whilst I do agree it should be based on loyalty and a "+1" system isn't the fairest and could be abused, I would imagine there could be thousands of disappointed kids out there, as gnerally kids don't have 25 plus loyalty points. But then maybe the lottery will be okay, looking at the numbers, cos I reckon a fiar few ST holders won't be able to go due to the fucking terrible transport situation (although I guess there will be organised coaches? I've only ever done that once personally as I don't like just going to aways there and back on the same day in general). If I get sorted I'm just driving.

I hate the shit either way, fans villified for going under Ashley's tenure (I have seen some ridiculous "scab" analogies), and fan's boasting their "loyalty" is being rewarded. Just fuck off with all that shit man. People do what they want accroding to personal reasons ateod, neother group are better fans than the other. Let's now get the ground expanded and accomodate as many as we can. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was half tempted to buy a single ticket and rinse tbd, but he's much too canny for me to do that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve just seen one on Facebook, I used to go with his old man in the 80s, this young shaver suggested his 14 years attendance was sufficient suffering for his “reward” of a cup final ticket..cunt doesn’t know he’s born… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said how much she loved the band on air (she lied, she was just one of these people who likes competitions). The DJ then asked her what was her favourite Erasure track and there was an embarrassing silence. The gig was ace btw. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some B&M shite I think? I 've only ever heard of RedBull and Monster (who I think sponsor us?) and only tasted the former (fucking vile). However, whenever I hear the words Caribou I just get that Pixies song in my head. Caribou, Caribouuuuuuuu.... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it fails, I'm off to the casino at Westfield Stratford as i qualified for the regional poker finals and they're playing the match on a big screen there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
