Email I've sent to Mr Moores should we reach the final

Featured Replies

Mr Moores, you may not remember me but I was one of the disgruntled season ticket holders who you had a telephone conversation with after last seasons cup final ticketing fiasco. Your secretary did manage to sort me out with a couple of tickets but many of my friends who are season ticket holders missed out.

I was one of the few who turned up to the FA Cup 5th round tie against Fulham on 19th February and yes I will be keeping my stub. Now the point of my email. What arrangements are being made for distribution of tickets should we reach the final? If you had a headache last time then this time it could be worse because as you know the clubs involved in the final get only half the allocation that is given to the Carling Cup final.

I would like to see a loyalty scheme on the length of time you have been a season ticket holder. Fans who were season ticket holders in the lower divisions and going back to the Burnden days should be given priority over the Johnny Come Lately fans who WILL let the club down should we ever hit bad times in the lower divisions again.

I look forward to hearing your reply.

Think you will probably find that no records whatsoever have been kept on who had season tickets at Burnden ](*,)

Set of gary nevilles at that club Undies. At least they should have records from day one at the Reebok when we had about 13000 season ticket holders or maybe lower. These are the fans who should get first priority.

So you think you deserve a ticket before anyone else just because you went to a game on a "cheap ticket"??

Tell me, how many away games have you been to over the last ew seasons?

JO's 'emails' are actually notes scrawled in crayon :D

Are you thick or what? Read the letter again. I am saying those who have been season ticket holders for years and years should get priority to those who have only just started to go the last couple of seasons when we were doing well. And as for away games I have not been to many over last couple of years because of cost, but ask me how many I went to in th third and fourth divisions pal? I used to go every week.

No I ain't thick but by the sounds of your "email", you are trying to big yourself up by having a ticket stubb for the Fulham game therefore trying to say you deserve a ticket more than anyone else.

 

However I do agree that we need a loyalty scheme in place where points are gained for attended these cup games/away games etc.

That was just a passing comment. I clearly state what I would like to see. I understand I cannot expect priority just for attending one cup game as my mate who I go with was in Ireland so could not go yesterday but he should get priority over the JCLs as he has been going for years on years like myself.

and your reply is what exactly?

 

 

Have you got a hangover or something?? :D

tickets should be sold to

 

1)Season ticket holders with tickets from yesterday.

2)Season ticket holders.

3)people with stubs from yesterday, next round ,members

4)lifeline

 

postal applications only. (one ticket per ST etc)

 

by doing the thing with season tickets, it stops season ticket holder getting tickets and passing their stubs onto people who didnt go yesterday and then claiming they did. it will also make sure that fans who are not st holders but did attend yesterday get tickets.

all season ticket holders would still get tickets and other genuine fans would also get a ticket.

 

the problem last time was season ticket holders getting tickets for non season ticket holders.

 

there is also a problem on when you give priority to lifeline members, i would say they should do it in the order ive stated.

 

i'm sure there will not be another feck up like last time.

As already pointed out, they haven't got a clue who had an ST at Burnden ](*,)

The easiest way of doing it would be:

 

1) All Season ticket holders get 1 ticket each (we have around 20K season ticket holders, and would get an allocation of around 20K tickets)

 

2) Any unsold tickets are then left in the centre circle at the end of the last home league match, and then any fans without tickets have to rush "British Bulldog" style and claim a ticket, on Big Sams whistle (you can only collect one ticket, and also if you "false start" before Sams whistle, you are disqualified from the event) - In order to make things interesting, all those competing should be blindfold and naked*

 

 

*of course all of those of us with season tickets can watch the "entertainment" from our seats - also could we sell this as a pay-per-view project?

You want to see a load of fat pissed up naked blokes running round a football pitch?

 

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh Ralph alert....... bummer tied to a tree

Well thats that settled then, all the cheap seats will be gone before other season ticket holders get theirs. Great planning.

How many from yesterday would turned up if it was ??27??

i suspect that the allocation available for season ticket holders will be less than the number of season ticket holders we have

 

this would not present a pronblem normally, as some ST holders would not want to go

 

the problems begin when those st holders let 'a friend' use their ticket

What type of ST holder would not want to go to the FA cup final??

 

It may be a once in a life time experience

very young kids, old folk, folk on holiday

 

it's going to happen

 

some ST holders will not go

 

not you, not me, not most of the people we know, but some people won't go
