I got loads of away tickets in the premier league :s I think I went to ten away games in total. And that was just the first season.
I managed to get many away tickets... okay not many but some at least. Okay once we got relegated from the Premier League about 4,000 fans suddenly disappeared and gazing into my crystal ball will reappear should we go back to the Premier League
That the art of diving has been taken to a new level in the EPL i.e. "look there is a leg 10m away from me!! Time for the "Swallow"
I prefer the championship, i'd rather be in a league where we're doing well and winning games than facing the utter disapointment of losing week in week out!
It's been mentioned before but needs reiterating, I did not realise what a bunch of arrogant, childish, deluded Cu9ts Arsenal fans were until we beat them at Emirates, all of a sudden it was like we had been fierce rivals for years and years because we had the audacity to beat them at their place. That followed up by the FAs see no evil hear no evil response to the FA cup tie and the ongoing bile and bitterness aimed at Hull fans by Arsenal fans, has led me to conclude that they are bigger dickheads than Leeds fans.
I'm a bit on the fence about this cause on one side you have more gate takings and a full stadium, on the other where are they now??
you dont mind paying the better part of a tenner for 4 bottles of water when dying of heat at wembley ( when your winning)
I'd say Home Fans... especially when I'm sure I saw some kid waving a Chelsea shirt in the West Stand after the final whistle on the last day of last season after our match with Liverpool... A true fan there then
How bad was Sam Ricketts for you in the Prem? I felt sorry for defenders like Zayatte and Turner who had some ability when that Welsh oaf was getting screwed on the flank every time. I watched a fair few of your games, did anyone else get the feeling that he was the major weak point in your team? That said, he doesn't seem to be doing too bad for Bolton.
Sam was a decent player, none of us wanted him to leave and we couldn't understand why Brownie thought so little of him., after we sold him we didn't get another decent right back until we signed Rosenior this season(he was definitely better than Zayatte). As for away tickets, I tried to attend every game in our Premier League début season and being a Premier Club member and a regular away fan, I was supposed to get priority tickets. Duffen scrapped the loyalty scheme a few games in and neither my Premier Club membership, nor my previous away games counted for anything. I got tickets for every game, except for Old Trafford and Anfield, which pissed me off somewhat.
That's rotten luck. I always thought Duffen was a bit of a twat, Hull should have done what Burnley did and made all home games free for existing season ticket holders in that debut season to reward loyalty. The Premiership TV money practically dwarfs gate receipts so it doesn't make much of a bad impact.
