I doubt there is a designated away 'end'. You can probably walk right round the ground as you please. This has always been one of my favourite parts of watching lower league football.

The point is that it is immoral, corrupt and, quite possibly, illegal. Just because somebody benefits from immoral (even criminal?) behaviour, doesn't make it ok!:confused:

I don't think so. 1714 at Eastleigh on Saturday and only 900 sold for Totton so far. Totton might sell out on walk up but there has been a deliberate exaggeration about the interest for tickets on here. I'd rather they just said, "please come and support grass roots football" etc as opposed to trying to imply that it's some kind of sooper dooper sell out footballing event. That's my opinion anyway. I just can't be doing with the intention to mislead.

no mate, you're being pathetic. You've not even paid attention to what I've said. I expressed my displeasure at the deliberate attempt to mislead, not to sell tickets. If people had said that they were laying on extra ticket outlets to help us buy them and help the sellers raise money that would be fine. It's the whole "you'd better get in quick" marketing rubbish than bores me and I'm allowed to say so without your self-righteous bandwagon jumping winging.

No need to deliberately overstate the 'rush' for tickets in an attempt to make us buy in advance as opposed to on the turnstile. Seems very simply and pretty indefensible to me! Still, I'm not stupid enough to be fooled and buy in advance so who cares. You can just count yourself lucky you managed to secure your ticket in advance eh?

yeh, whatever. I'm guessing he has some kind of 'interest' in selling tickets which isn't simply charitable. The intended implication that the match will sell out in advance has been 'hopeful' rather than accurate in my opinion. Oh look, now it's apparently not going to sell out in advance ... quelle surprise.:cool:

= someone desperately peddling tickets right?

If the Eastleigh friendly didn't sell out, why should this one be any different? Only 1700 at Eastleigh!

arf arf

****ing brilliant. and it's not dirty money either!

Rather, what is the owner of a bike like that doing just locking the wheel to something!?!?!?!

You do know that women don't urinate out of their vaginas right?:confused:

i'll try and make the effort seeing as it's deffo a 3 ko

is it a 3pm kick off?

someone best twitter the echo again to try and confirm

(red) bull ****

can't see it being a '1st team' tbh

+1 Are there any pics of the lady with the nice legs?

Another statement from Lynam with two missed apostrophes. Further shame on the Echo for just copying and pasting as opposed to proof reading. We don't need this laissez-faire approach to grammar at St Marys. We already have a sign which reads "players entrance" so it's no wonder we're in this mess.

I'm ready to go and support our new non-league club tbh. The appeal of queuing for tea and a burger from some dodgy trailor and switching ends to stand behind the other goal at half-time is there.

yeh definitely. Anybody midly displeased would certainly have made a point of reporting their displeasure to the official event organiser after all. That way, everybody could have had it out with some insults, posturing and the odd bottle or punch being thrown right? I mean, not handling things that way just makes you look a wimp right?

I must say may that I'm truly shocked by the tone of some of the posters on this thread, just as you are alluding to here. To be honest, I think it proves the point that you, I and others have tried to make. I've no intention of repeating it as it clearly falls on deaf and rather aggressive ears, but it's good to see there are some fans out there on a sensible wavelength.

Was that bit intentionally ironic?

yeh ... ok ... maybe not that dubious.

Speaking as somebody who is empathising with the general public for the sake of a bit of reasoned debate... I think many people tolerate football fans singing in public and outside pubs on matchdays as they see it as part of the football matchday routine. Many people are objective enough to understand that football fans go to football, have a drink and sing songs in the ground and the vicinity of the ground. I don't think the general public are expecting the behaviour described in the original post to occur in the middle of June and nowhere near a relevant football ground. Therefore, they will probably see it as a bit unsavoury and react negatively towards it.
