Thorpey Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Well fucked off now. Just had a call from my mate sorting the tickets to say that we're in a 'neutral' bit so can't wear colours. I know they're decent tickets and come from the FA but what the fucks all that about? Will I sit on my arse and keep my gob shut when we score? Will I fuck, so they'll know who I'm supporting so I might as well wear my colours. What a load of shite. Anyone got a couple of spares up for grabs so I can come in with you lot?? Or want to swop anywhere in our end for our two??
no balls Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 We've plenty of tickets left so I presume your mate's a fuckwit or a tightwad who's got freebies.
Thorpey Posted April 12, 2011 Author Posted April 12, 2011 He was my manager when I played some footie and he got them thro the FA. Still costing me ?60ish so must be in the decent viewing bit. Rather be in with the lads tho.
DC08WFC Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Sounds like you'll be in with the corporate lot in that middle tier.
Benny The Ball Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Well fucked off now. Just had a call from my mate sorting the tickets to say that we're in a 'neutral' bit so can't wear colours.

Will I fuck, so they'll know who I'm supporting so I might as well wear my colours. There are 6 of us in same situation mate - the whole of the second tier is "neutral" - tickets are sold as season tickets to "Club Wembley" members and Wembley regard it as a neutral zone. The season ticket holders then either invite guests or sell the tickets on , on a match by match basis. A lot of people bought them purely as an investment but whilst they have no problem shifting United v City for a tidy sum - up to ?1000 each I was told , a lot of corporates are struggling to give their tickets away for our game. Will be surprised if that tier is half full which may make it possible to move around a bit - have you checked where you are sat ? you could be sandwiched between tiers 1 and 3 of the stoke fans - great place to put up a Bolton Flag and for going mental when we score ... We have been told we wont get in wearing replica shirts etc , which to be honest does not bother me , but we have been told nothing about singing and no mention of taking in flags carefully hidden till kick off.
Traf Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 Addmittedly Thorpey's paying for his ticket, but I've no sympathy for people who get a freebie and end up amongst Stokies. If you're too tight to put your hand in your pocket for our biggest game in years, then you deserve to be sat with the fruitcake mob.
jolly-olly Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I bet over 90% of folk would take a free ticket if offered.
Casino Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I bet over 90% of folk would take a free ticket if offered. i'd rather pay and sit with my mates and meldrew

Biggest since Sunderland at home at the end of the 2008 season.But not as important as that match.

A lot of people bought them purely as an investment but whilst they have no problem shifting United v City for a tidy sum - up to ?1000 each I was told , a lot of corporates are struggling to give their tickets away for our game. My mate has a couple of these "Club Wembley" tickets, he called me on Sunday to say that I could have them for our game for nothing. I've already got mine in our end, so I declined. I asked what he was doing with them, and he said he'll just leave them empty, as he doesn't want somebody he doesn't know using them. So there will be at least two empty seats on Sunday......and on Saturday as well, as he is busy on a golf day and he's a Chelsea fan, so he doesn't want to watch either City or United, and would rather the tickets go to waste rather than one of their sets of fans make use of it. This amuses me greatly
jolly-olly Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Have you actually done a poll? I'm happy to pay and sit where I want. Why would I want to do a poll. It was just a statement that I bet they would.
indra Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 We've plenty of tickets left so I presume your mate's a fuckwit or a tightwad who's got freebies. I thought you cant buy tickets after tuesday
fishbulb Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Correct Neutral colours only in the neutral zone What, like White?
Mounts Kipper Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 I have 1 adult and 1 kids spare in the Bolton end if anyone wants one.
Thorpey Posted April 14, 2011 Author Posted April 14, 2011 Right got my tickets in Entrance N Block 123 Row 21. Cheers mate - bleeding neutral zone! Anyone know if that's anywhere near our allocation? If it's not anyone got a couple of spares anywhere in the Bolton end as I'm not sitting near the Stokies?

frosty1982 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I've got one spare ticket in our end, ?30 right behind the goal, no transport down though!
