I know of three places (*4) at Wembley being taken by folk who've not been to a match in their life. 

Bought a membership. "Won" a ticket. 

 

Can't particularly blame them but absolutely not a single chance they should be anywhere near Wembley tomorrow. NUFC owners should be doing a shit load better than this.

in fairness to UM his post has got the basis for a decent thread. the membership scheme is shite and warrants debate. 

he's been a bit of a tease though on a couple of occasions without ever offering an alternative.

howay man...... give us a clue?

it could be improved upon mind, I'd go for more gratuitous violence, car chases, some explosions and some some real not simulated sex scenes.

Did the ballot go as far down as members who hadn’t been to a cup match?


This lad got ballot tickets for a couple of earlier rounds of the carabao cup so am thinking no..  EDIT: he got one ticket in the earlier round ballots

pot 6 was for season ticket holders who didnt attended a cup game and any member who'd applied for a cup game ballot regardless of whether or not they were successful.

think that's probably fair enough under the present system.

nah.

as long as the ballot is completely random then it's hard to see how they can give priority to somebody who's won one?

you could've applied for 4 and won fuck all.

you could've applied for 1 and won it.

I was actually hoping they have some kind of lottery where members can win a limited amount of tickets. They do it with tickets for league matches and it’s the only chance for foreign part timers like me to get a chance of a ticket.

 

But there hasn’t been this sort of thing only the information that you can enter into the ballot depending on having bought a ticket for a previous round.

the bindippers allocated their tickets dependant on how many previous games you'd been to.

season ticket holders were given no priority over members.....

I know a mate who's got a ticket tomorrow and barely been the last few years, can't say I think it's a disgrace as I'd put serious money that he's more right to be there than a fair chunk of those around him. It's his first final, I've never been to one. Bitter? Fucking right, more so in the 90s. Pray we end this barren run, it's about time something falls our way because it just hasn't in the past and that has to change eventually, why not against the devil's own cup final team? It would be the ultimate irony. Fucking howay the lads. :nufc:

I suspect a 4th non-performance is incoming. 

I’ll be fucking furious of that happens. 
 

If we put a performance in, and lose to these, fair enough- they’re where they are in the league for a reason. 
 

But if we don’t even turn I’ll be well fucked off. 
 

 

I have a feeling we will surprise them, tbh.

We’re going to Wembley tomorrow with Geoffrey who one or two of you may also have met. He was born in 1958, making him 67 this year. He was brought up in a tower block in Gateshead. His dad grew up with Lawrie McMenamy and they were such good friends that LM happens to be be Geoffrey’s godfather. Geoffrey’s mother was a typical North East matriarch figure, but she’d forgotten more about NUFC than than every poster on here combined has ever known. His dad took him to all the Fairs Cup games in 1969. He has attended all other NUFC Wembley occasions since then: 

 

1 . FA cup 1974

2. League cup 1976

3. Charity shield 1996

4. FA cup 1998

5. FA cup 1999

6. FA cup semi 2000

7. Carabao cup 2023 

 

This post started out as a bit of a tribute to him but looking at that trail of utter misery it’s obvious that the cunt is a fuckin Jonah and am sat right beside the fucker 😩

I wonder how many supporters at wembley tomorrow have actually seen us win there? 

you'd assume you'd have to well in to your 80s and pretty active still.

basically every fucker else who's been to a match there since '74 should do the decent thing and chuck the towel in. :lol:

I went to both 98 and 99 finals. 

 

We failed to turn up for both. That’s 3 finals in my lifetime now. I suspect a 4th non-performance is incoming. 


We’ve been saving a performance for tomorrow. I can feel it. No disgrace if we lose as long as turn up and make a game of it. But I think we’re going to want it more and will win. I expect similar levels to the two arsenal games

Well it's not like you've predicted us to win most of the games we've lost this season, so nothing for anyone to worry about here. FOR FUCKS SAKE.
