NorfolkDandy Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 Still undecided It's absolutely a rigged event we're funding First season in 55 years (20+ with a ST) that I will not have been to AB24 Working abroad and being down here 80's and up to mid 90's was always 10+ visits a season Perhaps the Firestick ST and spikin shite whilst contributing fukall is the way to go for a while.....

It's perhaps a glitch with the system. Might be worth a chat with ticket office. I'm renewing mine in next couple of days so will see if the same happens to me. I'm trustworthy too btw. 😂😂 He’s a dodger 😂 1 Link to comment

ericblack4boss Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I respect those of you that renew, but remember , to the club, the authorities and broadcasters, the fan is an inconvenience. A necessary evil. And one to be milked and fleeced at every opportunity. To see football treat the fans, like shit, and total disdain , knowing that they are so fucking gullible and easily manipulated , sickens me. But also the fans need to be more more robust, more savvy and stand up to them. Yes moan about , the admission prices, subscriptions anything about the game. But until fans unite, show some balls out, shirts off, toe to toe I'm the carpark attitude then the game will continue to take the fan for granted Link to comment

Was carbdoard cover before, then I think during 90s changed to a plastic wallet style cover. When we turned to shite in the late 90s, I'd often wake up on Sunday morning with a melted season "book" sitting on top of a pile of pub change. Burnt in furious protest at how bad we had become. Became a ritual I suppose. Canna mind fan the plastic book full o tickets changed to the individual card. Mid to late 2000s? Fuck knows. Link to comment

Yep a lot of things growing up were stamps or books, missed out the jam jar era for cinima tickets and such, remember milk bottle lids getting you something(pack of broken biscuits at the shop?) better, simpler times 1 Link to comment

Take the required ticket oot yer season book and give it to the loon at the turnstiles.. turnstiles was mannies work too, back in the day. probably the only thing that turnstile workers had in common with Muirfield Golf Club 1 Link to comment
