I think i'm still suffering UCL hangover. Only explains why i'm more dreading the game than being excited about it. We should tonk them right?

Yep just like West Brom last season ;)

I’m honestly glad that gundogun is out. He slows the game too much for me and, curious thing to say for our top scorer from last season, but he’s a liability

He isn't out.

You think that because you’re a decent bloke and you’re judging them by your own fair standards.

You won’t have noticed, but the fact is that the small print in the season card Ts&Cs was changed some time ago to say that you can’t take any food or drink into the stadium and supporter services enforced that rule on me in a very personal manner.

I argued against it. I’d never had a problem with the stewards, they checked my sandwiches and flask every time they checked my bag at the gate.
I sat on the end of a row and, at every home game year in year out, I had chatted with the stewards while pouring / drinking my coffee. I had no reason to think that what I was doing was wrong and that’s what I told supporter services.
Their response was to tell me that the knew which gate I used, and where my seat was, and that they’d ensure that the stewards absolutely enforced the rule in future.

I challenged them because everywhere in the stadium you see people with flasks, sandwiches, cakes, boiled sweets etc. People take mince pies and hand them out at Xmas and New Year FFS, it was ridiculous.
They were targeting me specifically, bullying a loyal supporter to try to force me to pay money I couldn’t afford for the insult of queuing throughout the halftime break to buy crap food food that I couldn’t eat.

When I looked into it I found that, as the ‘rule’ was hidden in the small print, and as they’d not made any effort to inform supporters of the change in the rule when it was originally newly introduced, the rule was classed as a ‘hidden term’ and as such unenforceable under the laws of England and Wales.

I wasn’t going to attend without my food & drink, and they weren’t going to let me in with them, but they had to conceded to my legal challenge and, as they were effectively banning me for no legal reason, they had to reimburse my season card on that basis.

I was shocked by their attitude and, while I’ll always support my team, I won’t pay a brass farthing into the clubs coffers ever again.

that’s a disgrace mate.

Fuck me people moaning about tickets. We are on holiday so as a family we can’t go. Fuck me shit like this happens, sometimes life events happen when we are playing at home and can’t be helped. This moaning only fuels the trolls on here that then fuck off on to Twitter to slag us off and take the piss.

 

[cookster]

Can't wait, new ticketing system and it pissing it down all day.
Sou'wester needed.

 

[The Colonel]

3. Enjoy the game.

 

[york away to this!]

Fuck the ticket stuff. After a year and a half with no games, with one of the This! chaps having simply been unable to get there with the fall out of depression and autism etc for the last two seasons we're going! Can't fucking wait...
