Return of Supporters

[Corky]

Correct. Prior to 2012 I could get tickets for any game (including the Liverpool game) bar the one at Old Trafford and I only got my current season ticket in 2003. The first FA Cup game under Mancini was as Boro, on a Saturday afternoon and I doubt we sold more than a third of our tickets, probably less.

Boro was snow affected, I was stuck an bypass on a hill for 1 hr behind posh backwheel drives and BMWs which could not drive in the snow.

Gave and wasted £48 for two tickets, Police advising not to to travel.

Firstly, the younger supporters can go to 9 or 10 games a season which make open sale, and there’s a proportion of tickets reserved specifically for 18-21 year olds regardless of points. Oh and as pointed out to you before there are no tickets allocated anymore for away games.
Don’t remember this clamour even for the Carabao Cup final the other week. If it wasn‘t for those same people there’d have been no fucker at Wembley at all

Young doesn’t necessarily mean 18 to 21, I’m talkin 22 to 28 maybe. How are they ever going to catch up and have a fair crack.

Thats why I think a rolling 5 or 10 year loyalty point system where points for away games is reinstated would be fairest for everyone.

Fucking awful trip. I drove but I don't remember going over the M62 as I think there was a car on fire and that was where most of the problems were. They did a great roast beef barm at the Riverside though.

There were not many youngsters when we were taking 2k to North West aways with 1000 empty seats for a Sat 3pm.

Obviously there were some and they are older now. Youngsters could go in on parent's loyalty points up to 18 and build up their own.

The problem is there are less and less tickets allocated to loyalty points, that is what caused the problem, if it was closer to 80/90% like in 2006 anyone would have a decent chance going to 6 or 7 aways a season an building up from there. The problem for the new fans is that it won't be the biggest games.

Liverpool away didn't always sell out under Pearce and Keegan, restricted view tickets still on sale on the day of the game.

Anfield restricted view ha ha. Get a better view opening my neighbours letterbox to try and watch their TV.

Anfield restricted view is like a front row seat compared to the back of the Lower Bullens at Goodison.

When Everton move into the new stadium, they should let away fans in for a fiver for the first decade by way of an apology for the Lower Bullens

Back row Dell upper tier was worse, you had to stand up, but duck and swing around to pillar to see the goal mouth on the left.

Gibbons would be okay.

The thread is called 'Return of Supporters', not 'Ballot FAQs'

Didn't think it merited it's own seperate thread. If it shouldn't be here, happy for Mods to delete.

The thread is called “Return of Supporters” not “Should teams take the knee “ so, as pointed out, fuck all to do with fans returning

No kneeling allowed next season.

Go to the matches, home and away. It really is that simple. And, bar 4/5 games a season anyone can buy a ticket and rack up the points. Just like those on 22k have. Put in the hard yards and u get the points

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

Yes and the club realise this of course. Let's reward those who go to the midweek League Cup games.

What do the club make of having to pay £50 a year for loyalty points or is that a bit of a taboo subject with them?

That was a horrific journey, “hilarious“ on the m62, and then the snow got really heavy again on approach to the ground. My mate threw a whitey in the car due to the stress of it all tipping him over the edge, scary moments. In the ground itself that day it was so fucking cold it was untrue. Fond memories, lol.

I go to every league cup game simply because I cherish every trophy we win as I didn’t think I would ever see us win anything at all
I know the league cup isn’t for everyone but I thunk it’s great
I can’t see why other success starved clubs don’t make a big play for it

I think Benjani scored but my eyelids had frozen shut so still not sure

I love it. It’s our trophy now. Cheap tickets, a relatively rare chance to see some of our young lads coming through, occasionally some new teams/unfamiliar opposition and, lest we forget, the last trophy we had won for 34 years with an iconic goal from our history. Plenty of Wembley tickets unlike the FA Cup, and usually a great day out. The fantastic quick-fire turnaround with two worldies v Sunderland and the drama of our stand in keepers emerging as heroes in dramatic penalty shoot-outs v liverpool and Chelsea are among my fondest memories of our last decade.
I fucking love that sweet sweet Carabao. I really hope we do five in a row and make history next season

What happens if you have a ticket for Everton . But do not have a smart phone. Said you could print it off on email.Today no sign of that...

If your are going with someone else who has a comparable smartphone they can also download your ticket to their device as according to the City FAQ's you can store multiple tickets on the one device so basically we just need one guy with a smartphone who can download 10k tickets to his or her phone then we all meet them outside at 2.30 and they can scan us all in! What could be easier!!

Probably the coldest I’ve ever been at a match it was freezing

Our minibus followed a snow plough up the M62, even then managed to miss the goal going for a piss as we'd stopped in Thirsk for a couple of hours as we were thirsky. ;)
