I bought my season ticket in the very early 90s, didn't want one mind, but it was either that or miss out altogether so was more or less forced in to it. prior to that I'd been happily paying at the turnstiles through the back end of the 70s and throughout the 80s, me old man paid for me before I was old enough to work, although I seem to recall that might've stopped when I got a paper round! I liked being anonymous, I didn't like the idea of them knowing exactly where I was and identifiable by my seat. I'd always maintain that the recommendation of all seater stadium post hillsborough was as much to do with tagging you as it was to do with safety. thatcher or the tory's in general didn't like us working class football supporters at all. I much preferred the olden days on the terraces, the season ticket superfans upstairs in the old stand or in the east stand were taunted with chants to sing from the gallowgate and leazes. progress eh? if it becomes too much of a chore to get tickets or they go further down the route of personalised tickets with Id checks I'll probably opt out again and l always thought there was only ever ashley could've made me do that.

thank you!

chill out man!

been checking in pretty much daily on the official site to see if they've released any details on memberships, was half expecting something might happen after the season ticket renewal date expired, which was maybe today? anyway, somethings afoot, wouldn't be at all surprised if they're implementing a system to combat multi logins etc, which is probably fair enough really (through gritted teeth!), would also be fairer I suppose too if they could device something which doesn't more or less eliminate the chances of those who'd like the opportunity of a ticket that are working at 10am or without access to the Internet at that time. I had a good run last season managing the vast majority of home games and about half our aways, I think with the changes to digital tickets and the inevitable change to that for aways too and also possibly personalised? last season might be about to get a lot harder to replicate.

@ewerk are the good folk of donegal usually this pugnacious?

doubt your old man had much to worry about, think elton would've been more in to marc bolan.

I've always hated watford too, on account of elton john being a vastly overrated, talentless cunt.

'I feel love' was a guilty secret of mine amidst the punk stuff! caught this on the news yesterday, top 10 dance floor fillers apparently, all of which would have me making my excuses to go home. mind you, as a general rule of the thumb it would be about the 6th mitsubishi before I started busting me moves, at which point I owned the floor.

you were giving gemmill an absolute internet shoeing there till you said what records you'd bought.

in the last couple of days I've spent an absolute fucking fortune on 10 litres of oil for the sprinter, 6 litres of oil for the connect, 1 litre of transmission oil for me little mtx125 along with a litre of 2 stroke oil for the same bike. and these cunts can't even be arsed to sign a hungarian kid. pathetic really.

aye, remember mates from sunniside who'd previously worked at marley hill colliery and were transferred to vane tempest and monk wearmouth pits referring to mackems, must have been shortly after the miner's strike. don't think I can recall it before then though.

this cunt our player yet?

last time I went to sunderland other than for a football match was to see siouxsie and the banshees at the polytechnic in about 1978. the spice girls and elton john would suggest things have gone downhill since then.

just seen they've got crewe at home in the northern bit of the qualifying round of the carabao cup. fair play to them, win that and they've only got another half a dozen or so teams to beat before the big clubs get involved.

I think @LongTimeAdmirer was the first person to buy an anthony gordon top.

worst footballer ever to lace up a pair of boots..... obviously.

anybody else seeing in the photo above someone who looks very like the stick alien that first comes out of the spaceship in close encounters of the third kind?

or about a quarter of the way to the titanic.

in fairness I know fuck all about him. the red dippers are getting themselves properly wound up about it though, from man city like cheating to tonali being shite, very much in a mackem stylee. that's good enough for me.

I like kate winslet's tits the most.

yer can fuck off.

I must admit I've got a mild fascination with the titanic, watched a couple of movies, a few documentaries on the subject, read a couple of books, like kate winslet's tits etc .... not sure I'd pay £250k ro sit in a metal bog roll tube though. bad taste jokes aside, it's a grim way to depart this mortal coil. although it could be argued that the ultimate tribute to your obsession is to join them on the seabed forevermore. but nah.

there's always the seats..... oceangate titan, made in sunderland.

wonder if they've spotted rose's blue diamond necklace yet?

nufc has some oldies amongst its support, pif needs to get its priorities right before its too late for them. fuck what gemmill says.
