their's still a fair few tickets left for this one down oakwell but we should sell a few more in the morning . a lot of the fans wont pay £25 for a view like that if your on the first 5 rows its shocking you can only see shin pads and knees

I think that's the same at any ground to be fair.

I'd have thought you would have sold out though......chance to visit a "big" club?

 

[Tyke]

yours is one of the most expensive for a poor view though

You can't have travelled far then! Theres far worse that charge more.

QPR - £30 to either sit with a shelf above you blocking half the pitch or be that low that you can see sod all.

Forest - Again either that low you can see nothing, with the added bonus of stewards who refuse to sit down infront of you... or a bit further back being pelted with coins/spat on.

Theres plenty worse.

Emirates Stadium and City Of Manchester Stadium. Although COM was only £22.

We could also add to the mix St James.... They should provide binoculars.

i dont mind been high up it the low seats i dont like it was better last year when we had the upper tier

As said earlier though, all clubs have low seats. Personally, I'd be attending a derby even if I had to stand in a trench below pitch level
I thought your lot would be the same especially being "South Yorkshires team" with a new anthem and everything

 

[silverfox]

My season ticket is only 8 rows up on the John Street stand and i'm well happy with the view.

Thats a very poor excuse for not selling a couple of thousand tickets in a local Derby so called "grudge match", especially when your survival in the Championship could depend on it.

:cry::shakehead:


I'm going but i can see why a lot wont be its a lot of money for a poor view and we know were going to lose aswell so that dont help

i would be at the side of the pitch but when your at the back of the net its shite

As I said in a post earlier......same at every ground i've been to.....unless you know different?

You ever been low down at Old Trafford where you are below the playing surface?

Or are you just trying to have a go at us eh?

 

[Sensiblade]

come then name names

Man united for a view from below pitch level

 

[Tyke]

most other grounds we go to we dont half full our end so we sit were we wont at your place we would have to sit in the seat we are given and a lot wont pay £25 to see fuck all

If you see watching your team as 'Fuck all' then thats upto you.

Surely being there is better than not being there no matter what

 

[Foxy]

Except even on the very bottom rows, you don't see "fuck all", and given that what, 2/3 rows max will be poor... which may even be netted over and unsold.... It's not really all that much of a risk for your £25.

Sounds like a poor excuse for a crap turn out to me.

 

[silverfox]

So it's not our ground after all it's just that you can't sell your tickets?

Don't get us started on your ground please!

 

[Tyke]

we sold the upper tier out at you mates ground when we beat them 1 nil its all about cost 25 to watch the shit your play is a lot of money and the front 3 rows are in use because i had to take my ticket back as i was on row c

Our mates ground? When did you last play Ferencvaros?

 

[tenerifeblade]

Virtually every ground has seating at or below pitch level. I get the impression that Dingles fans are expecting a walloping so dont want to show their faces.:thumbup:

From reading what some of the dingles were staying earlier, some of the sensible ones are staying away because they fear their rather more stupid supporters are going to be baying for blood... and don't mind where they get it from.

 

[Tyke]

don't matter to me to be honest i will have a 8 year old with me and i find most people are decent if your with a kid .

The coppers will be all over it around the ground... I should imagine that most of the Barnsley fans will be kept near the Howard across from the train station. They'll herd any of the train lot up at once like they did with our fans at Barnsley.

 

[Tyke]

i'm coming on the train but i will be taking the lad to burger king so i should miss all the stupid stuff and be left to enjoy the game

I should hope we were decent even if you were on your own mate!

Having been around a while i've seen some trouble......

Stoke and Leeds being the worst.

Been caught out a few times in many other places although i'm not one for any trouble at all.

I'd like to have banter and a few pints with other clubs fans to be honest.....but that can be difficult even with our own fans at times to be honest.
