CT...

If you send in a postal application do you have to send an admin fee or just a tenner?

Box Office lines are busy and I'm at work...

Ta

 

A season ticket and three stubs

Overdoing it a bit aren't they??

 

I'd not say so. Away stubs should come into play firstly and three isn't a lot when you're halfway through the season.

 

i'll be there on tuesday first thing for mine, can't get monday cos of work. hope there are plenty left, whihc i think there will be.

just looked to book train cheapest price i've got for 4 of us is 210 quid return - absolutely ridiculous.

 

Sound fair to me also

 

They don't want another Liverpool

So I guess they're erring on the side of caution.

 

RE: They don't want another Liverpool

funnily enough though, the people who were moaning about not being able to get a liverpool ticket last season are not too concerned about getting tickets for the west ham game.

"i've been a season ticket holder for 47 years so i deserve first dibs at tickets...when it's a big game...and when i want to attend...which will be any game at wembley, anfield and old trafford"

of the 113 that went to swansea last night, around 20-30 probably didn't have season tickets, but they can get to the back of the queue if we draw man united away, so that 2000 season ticket holders can add to this sequence

1982 - liverpool away (league cup)
1998 - man united away (FA Cup)
2000 - ipswich (Wembley)
2006 - swansea (millenium stadium)
2008 - liverpool away (FA Cup)
2008 - cardiff (Wembley)

 

RE: They don't want another Liverpool

It's up to the fan when they go. Our club didn't make them go to Swansea last night. I'm sure if they are that diehard enough to go there, they will have another couple of away stubs.

 

keep yer hair on, i was taking the pi55 out of that rabble that formed last season when they all thought they deserved anfield tickets, when they only go to an average of 0.3 away games per season!

obviously west ham isn't big enough for them.

 

Sorry if I came across strongly. It wasn't said in that way lol. Liverpool arrangements won't happen again. I think all 5,000 will go, but only because of the price.

 

You'll probably be right, but i'm trying to be positive lol.

 

no way will we sell out 5,000. it'll be closer to 2,000 and might not even make that.

having said that, i won't be going myself due to a promise i made our lass that if i go to nearly every game in november and december i'd not go to any away games in january. typical though, i live down there for 14 years and the season i move back north we draw a london team away in the cup.

 

if only life were that simple. she's letting me go to wolves instead of taking her to see the human league on saturday, so i'll not push it.

 

Human League aren't bad.....

 

No way will we sell out 5,000 allocation so i'll just wait for general sale
