Hull City v Newcastle United, friendly.

Have bought tickets for the Newcastle and Fiorentina games for myself, stepson & granddaughter, decided to go in the west stand (instead of our usual south stand spot). Meeting up with some Toon friends post game. Looking forward to both matches.

 

Might as well do away with the ticketing facility on the club website them, because we have a ticket office? You can buy a ticket at the ticket office if you get there in plenty of time and are prepared to stand in a queue snaking out of the door. It also costs more to buy a ticket on the day for some unknown reason.
Can you answer if its ok to stand in a queue at the ticket office to buy a ticket and hand over cash why then the club refuse to let you do likewise at a turnstile? What is the differance?
But if I posted the club played in amber and black you'd pop up within minutes saying I was wrong because they play in black and amber.

 

it's a friendly
I cant imagine many City fans will go
if loads of Newcastle want to attend then good look to them
the North stand is the obvious place for them

 

Not just us that do that tbf. I'm not bothering with Doncaster because coming straight from work on the train I wouldn't have time to stand in a queue to buy a ticket to then stand in another queue for the turnstile. Not sure why payment at a turnstile is no longer available these days

 

It would mean paying someone!
Then there’d be queues at that for cash or card, correct change, but basically the first thing!

 

Are they the same price 'pay on the day'?

Usually £3 supplement from memory?

 

I’ve just reset my password AGAIN, I did it the other week, thought it was sorted, still seems to be not working!

 

I've never had a problem with any Newcastle United fans,well supported Club and fans with a real passion for Football.

Nothing to do in Newcastle? What parts do you frequent?

 

Missed out daft twat after some.

 

Just tried to buy a ticket through the website, can’t go anyway, just to see if that way works & I could do it through the website but not in the app. Guess I’ll delete the app then!

 

It's sh!t!! Why the **** did they mess with it?

 

Try Kingfisher near Halfway pub on Springbank West. Good curry sauce for your haddock.

 

Bit of dog whistling going on there…

 

Fans of Hull City have been crying out for decent friendlies for a long time.

A decent fixture comes along and all of a sudden the geordies are the only mugs?

From a personal/selfish point of view I wish it was in Newcastle,there'd be loads of us down for a day out.

 

If there was a chance to see a few new players, or at least a decent number of existing first team players learning a new style, which is the main attraction of friendlies for me, there would probably have been more interest. As it is..

 

Dog **** methinks.


The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.

 

It was a jesting post, Ric.

I've not been there for over forty five years, although when I was, all the shops and restaurants were closed and all the pubs closed at three in the afternoon. Worse than Bilbao.

Mind you, it was Christmas day.

 

most teams play a lot of fringe players in friendlies before the last one before the season starts
The Reading match is what I would go to if it was in the Championship but I think I'll watch it on Tiger+

 

I likewise had trouble with the website. I managed to reset my password. Then it would not accept my visa details (or my wife’s either). After waiting on hold for the ticket office for ages, they sorted it over the phone. They said they’d had problems with Mastercard payments but not visa. It’s not great business to make it harder for your punters to give you their cash. I am now officially Victor Meldrew - unbelievable!

 

I hope the opposition do that in our friendlies to save us from embarrassment! All we pretty much have ourselves currently are fringe players and youth (bar Omur)!
Top quality preseason camp and attractive friendlies turning into a potential shambles.
