  1. But there's the rub. Many of us who can't get to many games due to work or living away from the area etc stumped 25 quid at the start of the season to give ourselves a fighting chance of getting a ticket ahead of The General Sale. After we got through to Wembley, The Club encouraged people without Membership but had attended games to jump the queue by taking up Membership and even top up their games total with a Cheap FA Cup ticket and the WHU game, both of which subsequently sold out, but may not have had the lure of a Final ticket not been dangled. Good result for SFC financially, but a kick in the teeth he paid out at the start of the season in hope of getting some sort of priority.
  2. Doh!!! I'm hanging on by a very slender thread that it will go down to 5 games and DP's mate is quick on the trigger!! Don't increase the competition purlease!!
  3. Check out how they do it MLS Ultras stylee in The USofA...... https://twitter.com/SoccerAM
  4. We've never believed a word printed in The Rags before .... so why start now For once though lets hope it is true!!
  5. For anybody planning this mass boycott, please make it on Feb 26th and give your ticket to me :-)
  6. 6 league defeats in the last 7 games including 3 Home defeats plus a Cup Spanking by Arsenal would suggest we are making a pretty good attempt at getting there :-(
  7. Scott Marshall only played 2 games for us and scored in each of them ..... unfortunately both were own goals
  8. Yep .... and Long back amongst the goals gets rewarded with the subs bench. No consistency or rhyme or reason to line ups. Beginning to believe The Bingo Ball Theory for picking the team
  9. I was shopping in town that day with a mate and a really hot Italian girl on a student exchange visit. It certainly was a bit edgy in The Precinct area so moved over to Debenhams and must have been in there when it all kicked off in and outside The Warrens. An absolute picture of carnage .... bar stools, broken windows, broken snooker cue and glasses littered the area in front of the pub. A real life Western Bar Room Brawl!!!ern Whilst in Debs we saw a right dodgy group of geezers walking in and moved away from the area the were heading. It was only after they went by we saw that it was The Jam and a group of burly minders who were in town later that night or next day!! We left town way before final whistle but even then there were little pockets of lads out looking for a scrap. We had to try and convince the poor petrified girl that this wasn't a normal Saturday in town!!
  10. Same here .... on my travels back I've clocked up 4 aways (uk home is in Lancashire when I'm back from Dubai) and I was feeling quietly confident of getting a Cup Final ticket until I saw that they had given priority to Home Matches and allowed new purchaes to be added to members totals. This of course was a shrewd move by the club financially as Arsenal and WHU matches suddenly sold out, and it could be argued that fans who buy home tickets are contributing more cash to the club than those who buy away tickets. So it seems I'll be missing out unless somebody knows of somebody who cant make it to Wembley because they are on holiday, getting married, don't like Puel or are washing their hair that day, and would like to donate their ticket to me, a fan for 50 years through thick and thin!! Just on the off chance like!! Thanks.
  11. Yep it was definitely Oldham. A cold day but well worth the reward of a voucher which got me top The semi final and Final. They always chose a match against a team that with all due respect to the opposition would be viewed as not a crowd puller and with a small away following during the cold winter.
  12. OK then ..... they will have over 50000 home fans roaring them on compared to our 29000 Sorry make that 29000 fans and 21000 tourists!! Come on you Saints lets make this one of those Famed Memorable Cup Nights at Anfield .... for us not for them.
  13. Ordered my daughter's ticket last wed and they arrived this morning ... phew!!
  14. Only because we didn't give them more. If they'd been given 5000 they would have sold them all.
  15. Lashings of p!ss cascading onto the bedding of TSW'ers at that defensive line up!!
  16. Twice that I can remember ... at Old Trafford when Toby got an early injury and he was great, helping us win 1-0. At Sheff Utd in LC QF and he was turd ... mind you the whole team were that night!!
  17. Is this some sort of coded hint at our next big signing?
  18. Nivea Boy a bit premature in doing The Klinnsman Goal Celebration Dive. Pretty sure the ref would have given him a free kick even if nobody was in touching distance.
  19. At least we did try to get behind our team for most of the match, maybe not the loudest visitors, due to smaller numbers I agree, but the home support was non existant until their third goal. How 37000 people could be so quiet was a quite a feat.
  20. He's barely played a full game for a season and a half. He certainly won't be as good as when he left us. Leave well alone.
  21. Not quite a cold wet night in Stoke, but hope facing temps plummetting down to 18c at midnight down by the beach in Dubai will be worth it. Hope some exciting football and goals for us will help keep me awake, been up since 0430 and the game won't finish till nearly 2am here!! COYS.
  22. Bloody Hell ..... No rest until April 1st ...... poor lad will be totally knackered by then
  23. THIS!! My Yellow and Blue one for LC final v Forest didn't last long at all!! Did anybody else here do the cringe worthy wearing a scarf around the wrist look?
