Pigs extra allocation

[Boxer Blade]

For the worst view in the ground with hardly any cover, taking the piss. They're worth £10 less than the Upper in the real world

"taking the piss" literally probably

 

[Addison]

£150 Bargain. Chauffer driven to and from the game by D Taxis, free Elev 8 half and half scarf. Tuna sandwich at half time and free Chansiri umbrella to protect you from the bottles of piss from fellow Blades who don't like the fact you've helped the Pigs with their FFP problems.

 

[Sean Thornton]

But it’s an executive package. You get :

- A tour of the biggest rust problem areas with Gary Megson

- A question and answer session with a celebrity (either Mark the Pitsmoor Pig or Michael Vaughn depending on Mark’s availability).

- An unlimited tuna buffet served on Tango’s naked belly

And you get to watch the blades stuff the bastards.

It’s a bargain really.

There’s a prize for “biggest turd in a sink” competition though.

Just looking at pigs ticket info and they aren’t selling tickets for home fans in the away end ?

Does this mean there’s a possibility of an extra allocation as I’m not convinced there gonna sell out ? Are they waiting to see then last minute give us extra ?

Who knows what the tuna mans thinking

Would look fucking shit on TV with a whole bank of empty seats for Sheffield’s biggest day.

 

[Oberon]

No facilities in LL so any number of United fans will have to be ferried from either the South or North stands pre match, after sitting with their fans to eat. SAG and SYP will be apoplectic.

I spoke to the Commercial Dept at BL last week about United running something as they have done in the past. “No sorry, try contacting SWFC” They said nothing about this.

Maybe it’s being handled by Wendy then. Just what I was told by the head of commercial in an executive box this weekend

The “legend” would soon be that we couldn’t sell our tickets. Pig grandchildren years from now would draw succour from it.

 

[Rob86]

Addison has hit the nail on the head. Chancer won’t sell the turgid dross he has bought to help ease FFP (“I don’t sell MY players”) he sure as hell won’t be giving us 2,000 extra tickets to make £80k or so. It didn’t affect us last time and a bouncing Hillsborough is just the recipe for our boys !

 

[CarlMcBlade]

This ticket “tit for tat” doesn’t make sense. The pork are forever telling they’ve got a bigger ground, about 7k bigger. So to give us what we can only only give them is simply stupid..

Have a like for the use of 'succour'.

A treble 20 on the S24SU word usage dartboard surely.

Chancer is hoping for a hell of a lot of Blades wanting to pay £150 then. It just doesn’t make any sense whatsoever. He’s deluded if he thinks he’d make more money selling hospitality packages than giving us the rest of the tickets.

 

[Houston_Blade]

There was a 29,000 sell out there in 2001/02 (D'jaffo match) and a 27,000 sell out the following season. And that was when they only let us have 500 tickets.

Fixed it for you.

I think the chap I was speaking to thought that wendy had the lip on because we only give them the bottom of the lane end. Maybe it’s tit for tat. I do know when I was talking on Saturday the chap I was talking to was doing a lot of eye rolling in exasperation

 

[snootyfenooty]

Maybe it's tit for tat, we only gave their lot a similar allocation. That just makes them as bad as us. However, I think it's neither. It all points to SYP, Council and SAG. These muppets couldn't handle an event between them and the whole thing makes Sheffield look ridiculous as per usual. The respective clubs for their part should speak out and let us know what the hell is going on. If they are unable or unwilling to do so then we can only assume they are complicit in the whole sorry affair.

I would agree

 

[HighfieldBlade]

Hi guys,
I've got 2 tickets for Pigs v Blades but forgot that it's on the same day as my wedding so I can't go.
If you're interested and want to go instead of me, it's at St.Mary's, and she's called Jane.
Cheers

Ta, dum!

 

[blade too long]

Sorry...are you saying that Sheffield Wednesday want people to pay hospitality prices to sit on the Leppings Lane lower?

sounds like something theyd do

are they having waitresses serving drinks on roller skates

 

[Inter_blade83]

And the crows nest where I was sitting when D'jaffo and Asaba scored in 01/02

Djaffo match was April 2001. 38k there?

September 2002 was 27k

Have United or Wednesday ever challenged or called out SYP/SAG?

They'd get away with having the games played behind closed doors if they wanted to.

It makes both clubs look extremely weak.

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

There’s a prize for “biggest turd in a sink” competition though.

Despite our best efforts I doubt if anyone can come up with a bigger turd than Bruce; as for the sink .....

This 100% will be what has happend.

No way will they sell Lower Tier tickets until groind sold out. Absolutley no point in the risk.

We've had our allocation.

I'd be truly shocked if we were given the lower tier.

If we were given the bottom tier they'd be able to give us the rest on the top tier as well, there'd be no need for the first 10 rows up top to be empty

£150

Ha ha that did make me chuckle!

Two course meal and tea. They do spoil them!

I like how they specify that it's Yorkshire Tea, not some cheap brand. But is it filter coffee or Nescafe?

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Tango?

Reckon that's for the (team) bath

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

£150

Behave !
How else will they manage FFP ?
