If the club use third party sites as touting partners, they probably ask them to sell to home fans only. Whether the sites make any attempt to restrict sales, or to warn buyers they are in a home section and to behave appropriately is another matter.
And a language
Exactly - there were no ‘tourists’ that wanted tickets for the game. Not as many folk constantly holding their phones up recording the game. Won’t be the same for the next home game against Fulham.
Very nearly gave myself away as one of Jeff Whitley scored and I couldn't believe it
At Everton
I went to a wednesday away game, last match of season and was sat in cantilever stand with wednesday fans and my mate who was a wednesday fan said if city score don't jump up, it was him not jumping up as he was surrounded by city fans, can't remember year but Everton won 3 2 against Wimbledon and didn't go down
It is a club problem if say 10 utd or liverpool fans are sat together and trouble starts as the premier league would come down on us for it, maybe a big fine would see club stop selling tickets to 3rd party
I was also in that cantilever stand that day. The end block nearest the Leppings Lane end was about 30-40% City fans.
That's the 1, I phoned wednesday up that morning and was told it wasn't all ticket so me and mate went but got to ground about 1 45 and was told it was all ticket so got tickets in cantilever stand, asked a stewards why it turned into all ticket and he said loads of city fans had been buying tickets if I remember city had to get a point, but everton would of gone down if they drew or lost against Wimbledon which they was losing 2 o
I was there too that day a 1-1 draw ,it was the last game of 1993/94 season. Uwe Rosler scored our goal.
Rosler had very quickly become a fans favourite. The Go West/Uwe Rosler song got plenty of renditions that day. Remember getting train back from Sheffield as lots of unhappy Blades were returning to Sheffield after being relegated
Vaguely remember being stood on a bridge walkway outside the ground above where the team coach arrived. The players seemed astonished by the size of the City following.
I almost did the same ...... all tickets are sold out at city for our end at St james park, and i was trawling the Internet football ticket sites for one ..... the cheapest for the city end that i spotted was about £97, but the ones avaialable in the Newcastle sections were cheaper .... i was very tempted to take a chance and go in there.
arguably it was the most successful & nobody remembers the 1st & 2nd reich on the moon
