Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 In the aftermath of Friday's shameful and unsavoury incidents at Darlington, Newcastle United are currently working with Northumbria Police to identify those individuals who were responsible for criminal behaviour during the game. The club will not tolerate any kind of criminal or anti social behaviour from fans at home or away fixtures, and anyone who is identified as being involved in such behaviour, may be subject to a 'Club Banning Order' over and above any action taken by the police. The club has already received calls from a number of law abiding fans who have provided information which will help identify offenders. This information is being treated in the strictest confidence and will be shared with the police. Two Newcastle United fans aged 20 and 21 have already been arrested and charged with pitch incursion and associated public order offences, and the police will be seeking lengthy banning orders for these individuals. In order to combat any possible trouble at future away fixtures, a new policy will be implemented by the club which will see ticket sales restricted to Season Ticket Holders and Members only. As such the buyer will be held accountable for any trouble associated with the purchase/use of a ticket. Supporters attending the forthcoming game at Leeds will be reminded in advance of the game of their responsibilities to the club, fellow supporters, and the game of football as a whole. Newcastle United sincerely hopes that this incident is a one-off never to be repeated again and that as the 2011/12 season unfolds, the good name, fervour and loyalty of its fans will once again be to the fore up and down the country. Remarkable attempt to get more money out of us, sacrificing our quality away support. Mugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonGoodwyn 1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Any opportunity to squeeze more money out of the fans. People aren't going to pay an extra £25 to attend the odd away game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themags 0 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Can't they restrict away ticket sales to internet/phone only that way they would have your address.................obviously no extra profit in doing it this way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Jesus. Why punish the average away fan, when it was down to a tiny minority in our fans at the game, which was pointed out by Llambias afterwards, and now theyre going back on that by making people fork out even more money. Just shows the contempt Ashley and Llambias holds against us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaMoUsE 0 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) Quite happy about this tbh. having seen the state of th skiprats causing the bother at darlo first hand. The people causing the bother definetly werent season ticket holders. If this stop another darlo ill be more than happy. Surely the only people who care would be non season ticket holders who hardly ever go to the games anyway Edited July 20, 2011 by JaMoUsE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5904 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 None of those kids go to away games though. They're the same shits you see at pre season friendlies and 3rd round Carling Cup ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loonyTOON 10 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I can see why everyone has commented on this so far, but can also see a different side. By paying for either the membership, and when you pay for season ticket, they know they have your actual address. Whereas it would be fairly easy to call and give a different address if you were picking the tickets up or sent to another. At least now, trouble can be traced to the door of the person. It is a annoying and another reason to get people to spend more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5904 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Even if they have everyone's address and seat number how the fuck will that help them to trace anyone when the place looks like this? ''Well him in the newcastle shirt was sat over there somewhere next to that other bloke in the newcastle shirt and erm.... fuck it there's 500 of them on the pitch!'

CleeToonFan 1 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Fuck sake away games are always easier for me! Guess i'll have to buy membership, half of me's thinking "Why the fuck should I" but there's no point arguing, i'm not gonna cause trouble so I have no problem with that aspect, just the money. Do you get anything else with membership? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
