Craig 6947 Posted Saturday at 12:08 Share Posted Saturday at 12:08 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. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was magical - in many ways because there was minimal organisation. Expand 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. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
