...sat near me at the Well today. Nearly every STH I spoke to hasn't managed to get a ticket for Anfield. Feelings were still running very high I can tell you. Almost felt guilty telling them that I had a ticket!! Seriously though, it's a bleedin disgrace and the club has a lot of work to do to win back the fans.
i agree some guy a couple of rows back was chanting rowing out ,all the way through the match a little annoying by the end of the game.
A little annoying people are still talking about the past and not the fact we just beat an excellent team.
Since when has next Saturday been in the Past Speaking as a Season Ticket holder who couldnt get a ticket I find that fact more than a little annoying. Especially as I bought a Season ticket in the knowledge it is economic madness but at least "guarantees" me a ticket for this sort of game. If I had been able to get to the match today I think I would have been expressing unhappiness too
It's not the past you insensitive idiot - it's about next week.</p> I'm sick to the back teeth of smug gits with tickets and their smarmy comments.</p> Yes it was a great win and a terrific performance today - but after 47 years of support I'm not going to Anfield when others who don't know what Oakwell looks like are.</p> And yes, I'm still very very angry.</p> So shut it.</p>
I have a ticket but I feel genuine sadness that so many good fans have been let down. No gloating from me.
I'm not sure you would be saying that if you didn't get a ticket. Everyone I know who didn't get one are still very angry. (me included)
With 7000 season tickets and only 6000 tickets for Liverpool there was always going to be some upset fans. Its time you all got over it and moved on. We have always had season ticket holders who didn't get tickets for games.
This time there didn't need to be any going without - if the club hadn't been so incompetent. </p> If there'd only been 2000 tickets available, fair play. But this was completely avoidable and some massively loyal fans have had to give way to a bunch of johnny-come-latelies. </p> And no, I'm not going to get over it, whatever you or any other patronising smartarse has to say.</p> 47 fookin years I've given this club, to be kicked in the teeth. They can ballacks. </p>
I am fairly sure that 1000 ST holders wouldnt have gone anyway so there were enough tickets to go round, but even if there weren't enough, it takes a special sort of stupidity to design a system that meant Season Ticket holders of many years standing who go to many away games arent able to go because they couldnt spend a Monday queuing for tickets but some other fans who pick and choose matches are going because they are mates with or related to a ST holder.
Thought it was apt they were playing I predict a riot Probably expected eomebody kicking off about it!(
The number of dickheads who follow other clubs going to nfield that i personally know now stands at 27.
What utter *****. As I said to you yesterday, we have been in a position for four or five years, where, if we only paid for the games we go to we would pay less than the cost of a season ticket each. We have been buying them regardless purely in the belief that the club would repay this with tickets (subject to numbers) for a big game like this. I still can't believe what happened last week. Gross incompetence and a betrayal of people like us who pay out for no other reason than to financially support the club. When I think of my wife's upset at being denied her first visit to a Premier League ground and our first big football day out since Cardiff, I thank you for your 'moving on' advice. We might not see you at the game so often next year, as we probably won't be renewing. Sorry, doesn't make financial sense, and with operational management who couldn't organise the proverbial brewery piss up, there aren't any other perks to be had, apparently. I'm quite looking forward to a life not planned around the 'home' fixture list, I will be able to go on holiday when I actually want to, and take up offers of weekends visiting friends without the financial dilemma of yet another missed pre-paid home game. Instead we'll be going to the games that suit US, home or away, and we'll have a bit of extra cash to spend too, which can't be bad. I'll be going next week, incidentally, I have a single ticket in the Kop sorted out by a mate at work. Hardly the day out we planned, I'll be travelling alone, watching the match alone and in terrified silence, then coming home alone. Whoopee. Thanks Don, and the rest of the clowns at BFC for a job well done.
