Although people logging in with 6 devices might be artificially inflating that number maybe?

I had this conversation over twitter this morning. I assumed the membership fee was to discourage touts at first. But then remembered that you need a membership number to get a ticket anyway and then they're non-transferable (unless it's to someone on your friends list), in which case it feels like a massive money grab from the club. 70,000 x £37 = £2.5mil, for what is essentially getting your name chucked in a hat every fortnight.

I mean that's just a longer version of what I said, but aye, I agree wholeheartedly Cognitive dissonance aplenty in some of our fans

70,000 now. Fuck that for a game of soldiers. I've got my membership attached to 3 mates season tickets so hopefully I'll get to a few games when they can't make it. Otherwise it's BeinSports for me!

They're unlimited aren't they?

Fuck knows. They did beam backs in years gone by for games that weren't shown live. And they show live video of the game inside the ground? Maybe it won't be possible, but Keith Downey has tweeted to say they will be showing games. He might just mean the matches that are already live though

Looks like they're just rebuilding the stack that was at the bottom of Northumberland street. If they can figure out some sort of licensing arrangement to show all of our matches on the big screen then that would be canny

I see the NatWest CEO has resigned over the Farage debacle. Likely due to breaching confidentiality when talking with a BBC journalist. But Farage and the Tories that backed him will no doubt champion this as a win over wokeism

Only tongue in cheek cos I got pelters on here at the time The fans were split over whether to boycott Ashley or to "support the team, not the regime". Similarly, we have fans now who refuse to attend games because we are owned by one of the worst countries on the planet. Fair play to them. My take is, you pretty much need to be a billionaire to own a PL club these days. And 99% of billionaires are cunts, albeit on a spectrum. I'm not sure I'd be putting Ashley above MBS on the spectrum tbh, but football does strange things to a fans moral compass. I reckon Miguel Delaney would snap your hand off to replace the Glazers with PIF atm. Likewise, the Mackems supporting Hendo going to the Saudi league. It's amazing how quickly your position on something can change when it involves the club you love. Anyway, if you have a bit of insight into that moral conundrum, you can make a conscious decision to disagree with the actions of your club owners, but still go to the games as you enjoy the football. I assume that's what a lot of NUFC fans are doing now. To criticise the fans that did the same under Ashley is surely hypocritical though?

I don't disagree with any of that, and fair play to you for walking away. But out of genuine interest, how do you align all of that with now being owned by PIF/MBS? From a moral perspective it's surely out of the frying pan and into a giant furnace?

What's the alternative though? A 100,000 seater stadium so anyone can come as and when they please? Demand massively outstrips capacity atm. It didn't 2 seasons ago when we were shit and fighting relegation. Aye, some of those stayed away because of Ashley. But there were 30,000 or so (at a guess) who were paying their money to watch us at our worst. Now they get the benefit of the good times. I've got zero animosity towards them for that. Even if we add another 10k on the capacity we are still going to have to same problem. What's the solution? Keep the extra 10k as general sale? Have a 1 season limit on any new season tickets?

Fwiw, I'm not casting aspersions on anyone on here. Most of the people who post on the board have followed the club through thick and thin. I don't know much about the "Trust" but they seem to be a bunch of twisty holes that are only happy when the ticketing arrangements suit them personally. Rather than actually being a proper representation of the fans as a whole

I got one of them under Ashley tbf

Twitter in meltdown because the the new system doesn't specifically benefit them I gave up trying last season because I couldn't be arsed to login on with 7 different devices with multiple linked accounts. If this is literally just everyone goes in a hat and you randomly get a ticket then that'll do for me. And I'm speaking as someone who had a season ticket for years, not one of these 30,000 new fans that appeared overnight.

It's a good job we are minted mind, flying that many fuckers out! More hangers on than we have players!

Costco flogging signed Pele shirts. Also got a ton of signed Gazza, Shearer, Joelinton, Moncur etc memorabilia

Ta ra

And that he must have been on the plane right around the time Eddie said he had no further updates and he was still a Leicester player 😂

Binned us off last year and ended up playing Thursday nights in Europe for Villa

7 bairns in the squad. Not sure we've seen that many kicking about the first team squad in previous seasons?

Someone is having your life. You can get a Bosch battery for £150 and it won't invalidate your warranty when the car goes back

Aye, fuck that. You're not going to pay Bruno/Botman money for a kid off the back of an ACL injury

Those hats ffs 😂

Multiple Southampton journos tweeting at the same time that we are still apart on our Livramento valuation. Obviously briefed by the club

Looks like being a plastic gangster is catching up with wor Steve. Paddy Conroy being as subtle as ever
