Question:- Empty seats last night

[frasier37]

I drove 100 mile early Friday morning to be told by the ticket office, there were NO tickets available for My son and me in any other area apart from,

JS upper or away stand?

I've seen the utube video which clearly shows empty seats in all stands.

I want email addresses now! Flippin bloody buggers.

Look i'm so mad they made me swear

[Pretty Little Boother]

Frasier! Watch your language, I'm only six.

[Stafford-Stokie]

To be fair that vid was taken at full time when people were leaving. I sit in the Seddon so dont know if there were any seats on that side of the ground.

[scfc1972]

Also you have to think not all season tickets holders would be able to make Friday night, especially exiles, the elderly & people just put off by the cold, I knew a few who couldn't go last night = a few empty seats.

[frasier37]

Baaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Suppose so

Boother >> Busters!

[Fred Astaire]

There was an empty seat next to me in the Boothen. But then again, somebody nearby to us did spend the whole of the 2nd half farting so i'm surprised there was just the one empty seat.

[Pretty Little Boother]

"Busters" hehehehe. Dunno what they're for, like, but hehehehe!

[mermaidsal]

Why can't we do something, anything!! about the bloody car parking so we don't get this mass exodus? I know it happens everywhere but I do think we're worse than most.

[frasier37]

I know what you mean Sal. I always park off Blurton bank now and have a marathon walk its quicker and easier ;D

I'd have tried ringing the ticket office before driving 100 miles, I find phone calls cheaper than Fuel @ £4.50 plus a gallon

[Stafford-Stokie]

All bow down to the mighty Ilforddave who always does everything right.
Pompous Pratt.

[daverichards]

hey , do you drive 100 miles to ask your mate if hes going the pub, no you give him a ring on the phone , I'm just pointing out that what fraiser is saying is either BOLLOCKS or he is very very stupid

[frasier37]

Ilford >> i didn't take into account that They had GIVEN all the tickets away FREE on Tuesday and there would be no room for paying customers

Not as if its a regular thing is it?

Also went down Stoke to pick up my son who'd had a couple of days at his Nans.
Told him we would go to Fridays because we couldn't make it Tuesday. OK?

[daverichards]

and why IT really does have to be asked, did you not just sit in with the 1000 plus other stokies in the South Stand ?

[frasier37]

I could have gone in the away end or pay more for the JS upper but decided not to.

Not stupid not thick.

Talk nice and i'll talk nice, Oh Mighty key board worrior

[Maccca100]

Why?

[daverichards]

But , i just can't see why you didn't go in the South Stand ?, its the same price as the Boothen, next to players tunnel, bit of banter with what small number of away fans that turned up, and chance to see the game from a stand we don't often get to use . Its like you cut off your nose to spite your face by driving 100 miles back home to listen on the radio . in my book its a no brainer of a decision, go in the south stand .

Even at the Vic in the 90's the Stoke end terrace wasn't always used by the away fans, I remember numerous games where Stokies had the Stoke End terrace and seats, and the away fans were chucked in the Butler Street Paddock at that end

[frasier37]

Because i always sit in the JS lower never sat in the away end and dont intend to, my decision.

I was tempted to go JS upper but decided not to at £28 each after so many tickets given away.

What don't you believe anyway?

[frasier37]

The question i first asked was why i coulnt buy a ticket anywhere else when there was so many empty?

Its like the spanish inquisition on here, i only asked a question.

"Its like you cut off your nose to spite your face "

Yes, but it was what i did. It is also the trueth, and only the Fat bald man behind the counter can prove me right, is that OK?

[mermaidsal]

No-one expects the Spanish Inquisition...

[Maccca100]

As much as it pains me i have to agree with ID, you have never sat in the away end and dont intend to,, if i had to sit on the roof to see a stoke match i would,, very odd youth im afraid, i sit here and i aint sitting anyweere else thats me.. Crikey i bet you got your own chair and mug and everything at home aint ya tea at 7pm every night,.,. oi kids get out thats my seat and we aint watching this rubbish.. Iys saturday night thats pie for tea,

[padders01]

Frasier,

This has already been answered, if the club have sold a (Season)TICKET, it does not mean that the seat is then used as people may not be able to turn up for one reason or another. How are the club meant to predict if someone is going to turn up or not?

[frasier37]

deathofthebronx >> Spot on youth

PS

also if i'm paying for something i want what i want not whats pushed on me .
You may be happy on the roof i prefere the radio to the roof

[frasier37]

Padders your probably right. thanks

[The_real_Peter_Griffin]

ilford dave = big fat ginger fuckwit.

[Maccca100]

why frasier do you see a differant game from a different seat? if you were in the away end was it Rochdale Vs Macclesfield?

[MadridStokie]

Ilford Dave

I rang for my tickets and was queing for a combined 110 minutes at 2p per minute ... go work it out.

If I had the time to drive down it would have been cheaper for me to do so than ring. I wasted all the 'saving' of BOGOF on the phone call !

[rhodesy]

To be fair there were no seats

[The_real_Peter_Griffin]

ilford is a part timer stoke supporter who's hobbies include telling everyone on the oatcake how he is the worlds greatest paper boy, getting threads he's started removed by admin after he's made to look a fool, and telling a load of people who dont give a fuck that him and mrs ilford have split up followed by how in italy he lost a load of weight, (didnt look like it last time i saw him) and the fact that he's learned to drink coffee.

Ilford dave the house of the griffins salutes you, you big tit.

[dexter97]

There were plenty of empty seats in the JSL.
