How many people here have actually got season tickets?


including, CL, CC and FA cup or just PL fixtures?

Free drink at half time, that's all. You get greedy f***ers tryna drink three pints at half time just coz it's free. It does my head in. If you wonder why the middle tier (club level) is empty at the start of the second half... that's why.

This is the view from my seat.

It fucks me off people not getting back to their seats in time for the second half. Idiots. You can have a beer / burger / overpriced chips anytime.

I stay in my seat at half time. Take a carton of juice in with me or whatever. Have a beer before / after tthe match.

Been, there done that. Not much atmosphere up in the clouds. Cushy seats though.

Up in the clouds. Hardly Gza.

But yeah... atmosphere is poor where I sit excpet for really big games. Mind you.. most of the stadium is like that apart from the red action corner. Even they been quiet last few games.

Too right, same with the first half too, and with full time. If you're gonna support the club, don't do it half-heartedly, stay the whole time.

J-Mack, I share a season ticket with my older bro, he gets all the big games. I normally get Liverpool, while he gets Chelsea, Man City, Manure and Sp*rs, but Liverpool was a week night so I couldn't go - he meets up with my Dad at the stadium via the train and the underground, but I'm not considered ready to go all that way on my own yet. :(

You should insist on the Man Shitty match at least considering you missed out on Pool. Not that it really compares

I think he was going to have Villa but I went to that instead, so it evens it out. To be fair, we played table tennis over the Manure game. He is loads better than me and knows it, but I was only a couple of points away from seeing us completely d*cked!
