I'm sorry but I'm coming to the conclusion that you're a bit of a wanker. Until this announcement, you could buy an away ticket if they hadn't already sold out to ST holders/members first. Now this will not be the case and like L7 last year you'll have to be either a ST holder or a member (£20-£25?) to be there/buy one. What's to like about it? Only someone as yourself could laud it to be honest, unless we have a deep underlying hooligan problem at our away games as Leeds once did and which is why they did the same thing about 1990-ish then I'd say this is jumping on a situation to put one over the support, gain control over who goes to games and puts us in our place with the added attraction of a bit of extra revenue to go into the club. Would you say there's a need for NUFC to do this? (Be honest and don't be a prick, though.) Where the fuck did I laud it" ??? Really. It may not be the "best way" to handle the situation, but the way it's being painted is as some machiavelian money making scam, the mathematics above don't support that, that's all I felt needed pointing out, the issue is blown out of all proportion IMO. Is there a need for the club to do this, I really have no view either way. It's a nothing decision IMO, if they'd said members and ST holders couldn't buy tickets for anyone but themselves and forced anyone else down this route that'd be different. They haven't though, non members can still go so long as the ticket is bought my a member/ST holder. Darlo was a disgrace and it appears mainly caused by non-regulars, this appears the simplest and most cost effective way to get any "non regulars" who want to go away "on the radar" - because the membership scheme already exists. (As pointed out in my first post, setting up something else just wouldn't be viable from either the cost point of view or because of the tiny number of people this actually effects). There's basically no need to do this but it's a 'nothing decision' to you. Fair enough, it's just another one to go with the L7 one where they made it ST/members only before eventually shutting it down. These 'nothing decisions' add up and put the supporter right in their place. A non-ST holder isn't necessarily a non-regular either.

I liked this one, it so reminds me of my youngest daughter, she's a complete toucher like the kid in it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fywZN9bMD2o&feature=fvst (couldn't get the youtube thing to work on here for some reason?)

It would be easier to mention ones you actually don't mind.

I think there's a difference between exploiting all avenues for income like not using sportsdirect as the stadium sponsor, and exploiting/ripping off your fans for another £25 Man City get £400M from a benevolent owner for stadium naming rights, Arsenal get £100M a few seasons ago, what do we get for playing at an officially re-named stadium?

That's a very good pont. It is, and it means who gets allocated just goes straight to "loyalty points". As said by most, an appalling decision but is anyone that surpised coming from these fuckers? And to jamouse who's claiming that it will stop fans misbehaving as the club will be able to identify them...the last time there were mags' mugshots in the Chron there was at least 2 season ticket holders amongst them. They've no respect or time for the support and the feeling is (almost)* mutual. If a 'popular' owner did some of the things they've done since they took over our club but actually took time to explain their decisions in a respectful way, then I'm sure on some issues people would've been a bit more inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. I've no doubt in my mind the owner is making the best of a bad deal and doesn't give a fuck about you or me. * One or two are almost comical in their appeasement of every thing the club do.

Blocking makes little difference. You still see him and his topics in the forums. -

you lot still swimming? come on big boy how many times you been in our end and let yourself be known. Next time you are on your mam's tit ask her how we have terrorised you since god knows when? Ask did we really have our own section over Joker Park when you played Gillingham? I said the other day that he's clearly never been to any derbies at Roker Park. The difference between games up here and down there were immense. If he says otherwise he's a liar.

what about the first day of last season ? Same defence, better midfield, weaker attack. If a striker of Sturridge's ability comes in, we would have a stronger attack. So, one player away from an unequivocal improvement both from where we left off and where we started a year ago, with stronger finance too. signing him permanently or on loan ? I dont think we'll get him unfortunately but i've been meaning to make this point for a few days - we are one player away from an unequivocal strengthening. If we dont get a quality striker then we'll need the best out of the current lot as we managed to get last season. The point i want to emphasise is that we are close to having what we need. Portents of doom and whingeing from the usual suspects seems a little bit mis-placed for now. On the Sturridge question, the latest quotes from Pardew talk about other clubs being on tour and decisions being made when they get back. This is what Villas-Boas said about their tour in reference to Sturridge. Clutching at straws possibly. I think a lot of people, yourself included know how important it is to get another good forward in. We're going to need goals and we've sold our two top scorers. The midfield is not necessarily better, and I say that as I've yet to see any of our new lads win a tackle, put a through ball or score a goal in the PL for us, so the Jury's out on that one. So aye, a good forward could make the difference but we've all been bit on the arse before with this club. The scoring situation is a worry I hope I laugh about when Ba gets his 10th of the season by november as we sit on the edge of a European place. I've got my doubts though.

How will it do that? cos they looked like tramps with nee money. Call it selfish but Ive got a season ticket with 164 loyalty points so i couldnt really careless about people who refuse to sign up for membership or get a season ticket. I find that attitude a bit, how say? cuntish? One: any excuse to get more money from the supporters taking advantage of a few pissed up bairns. Typical of these bastards. Two: I'm now a non-season ticket holder as Ive been evicted and don't fancy being stuck in the same seat all year if its shit. You trying to tell me I hardly go to games? For what its worth you can trace the shit atmosphere back to when people rolled up to Fletcher and Hall's shop with their wallets open and a 'fuck you' attitude to anyone who couldn't get a ST. Didn't miss a match? FUCK YOU! Went to Bournemouth etc in the 2nd division? FUCK YOU! The away days were once a piece of piss to get to if you fancied it, many an away was decided on a friday night full of drink and then laughing as you knocked another hungover kid out of bed early on a saturday. Guess what? NONE OF US WERE SEASON TICKET HOLDERS!!! When that prick Mellor took over from Danny Kelly, the amount of arseholes who would start their conversation off with 'I'M A SEASON TICKET HOLDER' was unreal. You're a SEASON TICKET HOLDER, eh? Wow wee! Go on then, lets see you hold it for us! Wave it about and shake yo ass while you're doing it. Jesus fucking Christ. Evicted, you sound a touch bitter mind. Why dont you get over your bitterness and settle yourself down into a nice new seat. You might even like it. It's called giving a fuck and standing up for yourself and fellow Mags. Give a try one day. You might even like it.

I agree. My friend recently bought us a bag each, I'm not mad on them anyway really but the Blue ones are vile. I had a Ruffle bar earlier, mmmmmm Never seen them for years! You lucky duck!! Yeah love them! You get still get them in the odd shop or Sainsburys sell them in packs of 4 or 5 bars. You can also get large bags of individually wrapped Ruffles too. Used to get one of them as a treat sometimes when walking home from nursery. It's amazing what daft things your mind will cling on to when it comes to random memories.
