Honest answer, it was through living vicariously
A have a cousin who is a very successful businessman/lawyer in USA & he bought 4 club wembley tickets in the centre circle club - I was lucky enough to be asked to go.
It was a neutral section, Sting was in the queue behind us getting in & Ryan Taylor was in front.
I have never felt so poor.
loosely interpreted as....
I'm in direct contact with chris parkinson

Taking Toonpacks long and inglorious history with the polis into consideration here, is that the woman who played Juliet Bravo?

He'd have been all over this with appreciation of TBD's communication/email skills.
I mean I'm just pissed off they took money out of my account unannounced and then blatantly telling lies with this shite here...
could ve worse mind all kind of accusations flying around on n.o. about messageboard admin and club collusion....
come to think of it, how the fuck did @Tom get a wembley ticket??

hooray, I can biy one now.
they've well and truly fuckec up, look at the dates man, there was 'no events found' when you clicked on the home tickets section of their website up until this morning, yet they're saying season ticket holders and members had first dibs on tickets from friday 30th may. they never even announced the game till yesterday and no fucker was a member anyway as no money had gone out of anybody account. you can't even buy a fucking membership till the 17th june if you didn't auto renew.
they've taken incompetence to new levels this time and they're fucking lying cunts to boot.

I don't want to go to the sela cup, however just as a little experiment I logged in to buy one. so they took £37 out of my fucking bank account yesterday despite not informing me they were going to. however proud 25/26 number i must be, be8ng as I've paid for the fucking thing, yes?
wrong, I can't buy a ticket because it's restricted to members....

I'm sure there are. Doesn't mean the club haven't sent them. I doubt very much they've been selective on which members to communicate with.
there's fuckers who want to be members and are more than happy to renew auto manually they don't really care. they are claiming they haven't had an email regarding renewing. so let's be generous to the world's shittiest box office and say all these people like me it would seem have inadvertently deleted their email, they'd therefore not have opted out and be members, yes?
well no actually, because no money has come out of their accounts. not only that, the tickets have gone on sale today for the game against athletico madrid and they can't access a restricted sale on account of not being members despite desperately wanting to be.

FCA would be on them like a ton of bricks if they gave no opportunity to opt-out. It'd be in the small print on sign up and as others are confirming, there was clearly an email campaign.
there's plenty of people saying they haven't had emails. I'm astounded you seem to be writing these peoples experiences off.
you're talking about a bunch of incompetent clueless cunts who couldn't even organise the sale of tickets for a home semi final 2nd leg tie without fucking it up man.
they're fucking useless.

I got an email a few weeks ago saying it would auto renew. My lad got one as well.
There was a chance to pull out beforehand.
definitely no email for me, people saying the same over on the kiddies forum. and... it didn't auto renew last year.
it's as underhand as fuck,

It will be in some small print somewhere as its very commonly used. You have to opt out. And everyone I know who has a membership received an email in the last 2 weeks telling them it was happening.
no mate. no email have checked them, didn't happen last year either.
ps... so have you had any sort of confirmation of them taking the money or that you're a member for next season?
-
to whom it may concern, or for those amongst us who are in the very fortunate position of being in the membership/ballot scheme...
anybody else have £37 come out of their account yesterday?
I never opted in to an auto renewal scheme.
I've never had an email saying they were going to take money for 25/26
I've never had an email confirming they've took £37
I've never had an email confirming I'm a member for 25/26
there's nowt on my online account/profile to suggest I'm a member for 25/26
there's nowt on the website about membership renewals other that 'news coming soon'
there's nowt on the website in regard to any pricing changes or any changes to balloting/general sale for you to consider when possibly making a purchase.
the cheeky CUNTS have just taken £37 unannounced and the only way you'd know is if you'd happened to spot it on your online banking.
one thing to note, last year if you bought a ticket as a member and couldn't make the match they wouldn't refund your money only apply a credit to your account.
should they revert back to a ballot only system and they refuse to refund my £37 they've effectively stolen then suddenly thete becomes a clear and immediate answer to the new ground/extension conundrum, because I'll burn the current fucker down.

I don't think I've ever mentioned this here. When I was at St. James's Park years ago (Newcastle-Norwich in 2018), I was walking around the stadium before going in to watch the game and ran into a woman handing out newspapers/magazines at the door advertising a betting shop. I don't remember which one.
The woman was surprised to see that my cousin and I didn't speak Geordie and that we clearly had a strange accent (well, we spoke Spanish to each other). She asked us various questions, and we ended up telling her that we were two kids who had been Atleti fans as kids and that she didn't quite know how we'd ended up being Newcastle fans from afar.
I think the woman, who seemed to have a poor understanding of football-related concepts, understood that my cousin and I were Atleti players who had come as fans to watch a Newcastle game. He even asked us for a photo, and when he said goodbye, he told us it would be published in that magazine/newspaper.
I was always curious to know if I'd ever be on the cover of a local newspaper. Hahaha.
if you come again bring some spanish lady friends that look a lot like penelope cruz.
should you need an interpretor for the day I'd be happy to help out.

Rumours abound that we've interviewed David Hopkinson to replace Eales - at least that's what Hope is reporting.
54 year-old Canadian was in charge of the US-based Madison Square Garden Sports Corporation and was Global Head of Partnerships for Real Madrid between 2018 and 2020. Also had involvement with Toronto FC.
is he any good on a karaoke machine?

Already banked.
Was going to make a comment about them being around knees now, but the SBH tends not to droop much.
discussed at length at time mate, as was toonpack's fixation with the young man in the white t-shirt.

That last screenshot
They’re a fanbase who spent a 10 page thread inventing stories about how every football fan in London bent over backwards to fellate them last week but we’re the needy ones
it wasn't just other clubs supporters though was it? they invented stories about being given guards of honour in covent garden by groups of tourist students who weren't even in to football.
still, at least that demonstrates an infinitely better form of holidaying decorum than running about attacking northern italians with a plastic sword outside rome's colloseum.

keith just being keith, the stupid cunt.
cockney mackem running themselves down a bit there though with regard to the exposure they deserve.
when they went down, down again and then lolled about in the 3rd division for 4 years both nufc and supporters from the rest of the country's football clubs found it absolutely fucking hilarious and fell about laughing accordingly.

I wouldn't be surprised if we stand pat until end of the month, we'll have a list of targets we'd like from clubs we'll reckon are PSR squeezed, pick up one or two bargains and then go big signing (if we need to) early July.
Edit: As an added bonus this strategy would wind up TBD no end and supercharge his inner Meldrew which would be highly amusing.
I chucked in a quippy 2 liner, I'm not about to set up me debut twitter account and unleash hell on the net.
that said mind I do think kd raises a valid point, it was those 5 players I had in mind in when posting. if we were genuinely interested then it would appear we've missed out to the speedier suitors.
which in some ways is probably preferable to watching us losing in a protracted, public game of 3 card brag where the maximum stake is a penny like we did with guehi last summer.
a new player would be nice.
what's more likely to bring out the inner meldrew with me is if saudi clubs keep funding our competitors with ludicrous fees for their has beens and never quite will be's without mbs and al-rumayyan waving their bonesaws about.
