They’ve badly misread the memo on this one. And they can go on about needing to understand numbers all they like, I don’t remember any booking system for Covent Garden or Trafalgar Square 2 years ago yet neither had an ounce of issue.

 

Prioritising interest lists is what’s got my back up. ST holders had that for the final itself, now they want to double-down and given them priority to see a trophy most of them have already seen once already? Priority should be neutral on this.

 

Last parade I remember was in 1993. No tickets, no registered interest, just an open top bus from Gosforth to the Civic Centre with tens of thousands lining the streets to greet the team. It was magical - in many ways because there was minimal organisation.

You can’t hold an event this size without it being ticketed. No chance the council would allow it and you certainly wouldn’t be able to get insurance for it.

False equivalence, were talking potentially couple of hundred thousand folks turning out, incomparable to the London stuff.

 

Times have changed since 93, all sorts of regs about crowd control, security etc. So how else could they prioritise interest lists though, to manage site volumes it was season ticket holders for two (TWO) hours ffs then everyone else (members etc) and plebs like me today (16007 in the queue at 10:00 and as queuing goes it was slick as fuck).

 

If they'd just opened it up to the world in one go it'd have been carnage.

 

Folks are just looking for shit to get wound up about.

 

If there's no bus it's outrageous, but we just don't that know yet.

 

Whatever happens nothing, NOTHING, will dampen the feelings of last Sunday and this week.

"I just want to see the parade, the players and the bus!"

 

"Fuck off! You didn't register your interest in the appropriate queue, sir. Get him in the van constable, make sure you don't bang his head on the way in. [Cough, ahem]"

Exactly, how big does it need to be, how many bogs do we need, how many first aiders do we need, how many polis do we need, how many stewards do we need, how long a fence do we need, how big a PA do we need, how many big screens do we need etc. Etc. Etc. Etc.

 

They want to hold something/do something special and are trying to work out how they do it, I strongly suspect the website traffic has them going "oh fuck".

they had a 1.5 million people rock up in london to protest the Iraq war, 3 million apparently in rome. 

this happened without any fucker worrying about how many portaloos were available or whether or not it would be advisable to stock up on elastoplasts.

honestly man, you've spent far too much time amongst fucking coppers you.

London isn't in a geet big field, I'm sure the streets will be mobbed for the bus (if there is one) an event is a completely different thing ffs.

It's not a magpie like. 

If you have a ticketing account, you'll get a ticket for this event, for free. Don't even have to be a member. I'm with TP on this one, there are things to complain about but this isn't one.

Looks like a tit :cuppa:

 

 


it looks like something out of Pigeon Street.

 

if I was having a magpie, I’d have the one that appeared on both the ‘round’ club badges, but each to their own.
