Still, car-parking eh. #kerching 

You can sell your space to Craig. I think a TS5 is a Volvo estate.

I really hope these aren't the "best" acts performing. We're in for a really disappointing line-up if so! 

Feel sorry for you mate, you'll be able to hear it.

Has anyone reached out to the rugby supporters?

A few I know (season tickets, South stand) miss standing.

Might add a bit more weight to any discussion if it included them as well.

Apparently you had problems with West Ham tickets? Clearly not on this scale. Since Rovers have switched to Ticketmaster, there have been numerous cock ups, people not receiving tickets in time for a game is commonplace, it barely even gets anyone angry anymore. As it stands, it looks like I , a long term season ticket holder, will miss out on the Norwich game. I get this is a piss take thread and I understand that a few of you are having a chuckle over it, but it does seem that - although not yet confirmed- that it is yet another Ticketmaster cock up and I think all football fans should be wary about this. There are some good people at Rovers in the ticket office as I'm sure there are at City and many other clubs around the country, people  who actually care about the fans, usually because they are fans themselves.

Football fans need to stick together on some issues and stand up to glorified touts like Ticketmaster.

This is where your SLO needs to be front and centre. 

The club could easily get themselves a bit of time here by extending the ST window by 24 hours.

It may just be them being morons (likely) but lots of Tweets indicating that Rovers have released Norwich tickets to general sale before ST holders so that’s 2000 more locked out….

 

Add it to the list...

As an aside, I mean no disrespect to anyone affected by the atrocities of WW2 and apologise if I have caused any offence.

Colin from Portsmouth is on the line....

Seriously, no on would be offended by you posting that. If you commented with 'City should do these', then that is a different story, but you didn't. And you wouldn't.

That date isn't set in stone.

 

I'm sure @cheese is confident that their daughter will graduate as planned.

Wonder what plan the club have to get it hopelessly wrong, given that they have got the pricing spot on, they haven't left a lot of room to nause it up.

Half and half scarves that double as lanyards, that's my guess.

Doesn't seem unreasonable, and I get hit with the Lansdown Centre price.

We all know it's never a true away figure until you add in those locked out and forced to watch from the car-park.

It's what they do. Or claim to do.

Home Under the Hammer.

And indeed the Hammers were under it, for most of the 2nd.

Shrewsbury when we'd have faced Liverpool too...

God, that boiled my urine.

My local at the time was full of plastic Liverpool supporters who automatically assumed City would beat Shrews and I would then be able to lay my hand on countless tickets for them.

For the wrong reasons, I was almost pleased when we went out.

That non-league side who are still in it, at home.

They will be so disappointed coming to BS3 rather than the London Stadium, we might get a replay*!

*being deliberately pessimistic to avoid future embarrassment.

Great to see you too mate. Hope you enjoyed the game

I can assure you, the only person eating was Graham! 
I’d just been to the Lego shop with my daughter (£745 for an At-At! Mental) and I was trying to locate a toilet, which was when we saw GC dining in a little caf. 
 

Caveat - I was gonna have a Greggs but there was a massive queue!! 

So you were in the Lego store, hoping for a SH-AT-SH-AT!

If you want a West Ham forum with absolute loons try westhamonline.co.uk - basically its a nursery with our fans calling each other out. Kumb is the serious forum, WHO is an asylum!

KUMB makes for interesting reading, especially around the value (or otherwise) of giving younger players a chance and their opportunities now seem to be bench-warmers.

Our first team squad is littered with academy graduates, most of them have benefitted from periods of time on loan to lower league clubs to aid their development.

You wonder if the salaries young players receive at some Premier league clubs closes a door on that pathway.

Win the second half and the minimum we come away with is a replay.

Just bumped into the legend that is @Harry in the mall at Stratford tube, so that’s two of us making it!

Bet he was buying a sausage roll.

I don't know if any decision about a delayed kick off would be partly impacted by the international television coverage.

I would change plan and drive. Plenty of places in Essex to park and get fast trains in to Stratford. Don’t rely on GWR, they are chaotic. 

Isn't the problem with a Network Rail controlled part of the infrastructure rather than a GWR issue?

For those who have asked, the tickets I had that were available have gone to @bcfc01 who has made a generous donation to 

https://bristol.sands.org.uk/

In exchange for them.

Balance and karma peeps.

Hi Rob,

Sorry you can’t go.

I only need one ticket for myself, I would contribute to a charity and chuck a 5er at the forum. I could also collect.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Sam, currently I am in conversation with a forum member who would like both in exchange for a charitable donation, if this doesn't end up in a home for the tickets I will post again in this thread, but for now, assume they are unavailable.

just in case people have lost hope.

Two spare tickets available to a good home*. Too much else going on to be able to find the time to attend.

Upper Tier, both £10 tickets.

I have the tickets in hand (actually went to the trouble of collecting them, with the intention of going).

Price. FREE.

However, if the lucky recipient wanted to bung face value at a worthy charity, that might be a nice touch.

Note. Given I can't verify 'good' as a home, someone who throws a fiver towards forum upkeep is more likely to be the lucky recipient than someone who doesn't.

You'll need to collect them as well, I ain't delivering! - pretty free tomorrow, so can be a bit flexible.
