United Fans Ripped Off By Club

[Bert]

Balham Blade thought that it would be a good time to drag this thread up as he received a call from a very pleasant chap at Sheffield United on Saturday morning who sold him a ticket for the Leyton Orient game.

Balham Blade wonders what Bert has done to offend the staff in the Ticket Office as this is the second time SUFC has called him to sell tickets. Obviously this method of ticket sales would not work for everyone as there is no chance to listen to the opening 20 seconds of an annoying song, a facet of the process thoroughly enjoyed by people such as Ollessendro.

The cherry on the top of this transactional cake was that the chap did not charge the £1 telephone booking fee either.

Bert assumes that United have a batch of tickets for the away game at Orient that they can't return if they don't sell them. As sales are not going too well the Office Manager tell the YTS youth to call round a few Unitedites who live nearby and who have a history of coughing up at the drop of a hat.

Balham Blade dislikes the insinuation that he will go to United games at the drop of a hat, being that he is a fully committed part-timer.

He is, however, looking forward to a day on the ale with the London Blades which will be unfortunately punctured by two hours of mediocre football.

Darren Balham would imagine that the club may have considered your request but you moved into a different category of supporter by watching a game in Sheffield recently. In addition, he would expect that Sheffield United would consider transporting two cats to a football game to be bordering on cruelty - his two cats dislike car transport immensely.

Darren is also a fully paid up and committed part timer and has only been to three games at the Lane in 2012. As such, Darren is highly insulted that someone rang up Balham Blade and Darren did not get even as much as a text message.

In a fit of pique, Darren will now reduce his attendance at the Lane to two a year. Darren thinks that will show SUFC.

 

[Grecian2000]

SUFC to lay on a limo for him and the current 5 other inhabitants of his house (all female, 3 human and 2 cat) to take them to the match with the said limo to be driven by one of the players wearing nothing but a loin cloth.

Grecian2000 believes that the "limo driving player in a loin cloth" service has had to be withdrawn now that said player is residing in the Antipodes.

In that case, Darren has been to two more games at the Lane than Balham Blade this year.

Balham Blade feels he should explain the missing part of the phone call: United's ticket website did not have the option to purchase NUS cardholder tickets and the techmonkeys were unable to mend this. Therefore SUFC Box Office called Balham Blade to complete the transaction.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Bert called the club on the Bert mobile to buy some tickets for the Doncaster game.

He doesn't like being ripped off at 35p per minute on an 0871 number so he called the main swithcboard on 0114 221 3156 and asked to be put through. The operator informed him that she couldn't put him through and that he had to call the 0871 number....and no doubt wait 20 minutes.

They can bollocks, Bert will now give next Tuesday night a miss.

At Notts county game, my brother, his wife and their 4 yr old son got sliced for 66 quid admission..14 for the chabby.
They have now got the kid in junior blades, so a fiver for him next time.

Brownie went to get Leyton Orient tickets for him and his friend the stunted mutant with half a brain yesterday. He was accompanied by Brownie jnr whom he hadn't to Graves Park to view the animal. Brownie also made the mistake of taking Brownie jnr in to the club shop and came out with a new Blades shirt for Brownie jnr, and a £3 wooly hat that took the fancy of Brownie jnr so he put it on his head and wouldn't take it off so he had to purchase that as well.

Brownie also thinks that he was pleased with the 10% discount offered to season ticket holders that he recieved on the goods that he purchased for Brownie jnr, and is pleased that part-timers like Bert don't receive the same consessions.

Jon Bon has just popped on to this thread to refer to himself in the third person cos it's fun. Jon Bon has now had his fun and is nicking off...

Bert does not buy the overpriced tat on sale in the Club Shop, however if he were to he would also receive a discount.
He has yet to miss a home game this season although his forthcoming month in the Caribbean will put an end to that record. Bert won't be needing a £3 wooly hat whilst he's there.

I think that's an infraction for personal abuse of another forum member

Grecian2000 is not at all sure about the meaning of the second sentence above but is very upset if Graves Park is down to a single animal these days. Is it down to government cuts? Fucking Tories.

Ollessendro wants to know how Bert got his ticket for Doncaster without Bert paying the 087 charges?? Ollessendro wants to know if Bert is a secret pal of Papa Luigi?!

Bert didn't even pay for the tickets. It's not what you know, it's who you know.

Must be all the money made from 0870 numbers that allows freebies to get into the system.

Nice to see bert pumping money into the club

 

[boo radley]

Should Boo reveal the various standard landline numbers he has or just publish them on 'say no to 0870'.
Is it selfish of Boo to keep these a secret?
Will the club react badly to loads of people ringing these various numbers what are supposed to be for club officials only to use?
Will it force them to finally alter the number so we can all dial in free ?
Boo thinks the club has had long enough, it is many years we have had to put up with the 0871 number.
0114 221.....
Will this cause any problem to Foxy and Linz?
Do most on here know these numbers anyway?

Brownie typed that message on Brownies fancy iPhone.

There are still several animal to be viewed and fed at Graves Park. Brownie and Brownie jnr tried to feed a lot of the animals between them, but due to an overeager Llama, Brownie jnr didn't want to feed them any longer so it was left to Brownie to feed them alone with Brownie jnr spectating.

Despite the Tory cuts, Brownie and Brownie jnr are pleased to report that Graves Park has been relatively unaffected by these austerity cuts.

Brownie and Brownie jnr may indeed pay furthur visits to Graves Park, and during the winter months Brownie jnrs head will be thoroughly insulated by his £3 woolly hat that he has refused to take off for the last 3 days.

George was attacked by a sheep in Graves Park.

Metalblade was wondering why Welshmen with spare wellies were reported to be wandering around in Graves Park recently.

For no reason whatsoever Bert has just re-read this thread.
