It's been talked about on this forum recently and it's talked about in the pubs and clubs and on the streets.

Are Season Ticket holders better fans than the people that haven't got them?

I'm a ST holder but I don't think of myself as being better than the guy on the street that can't afford a ST.

Maybe he's out of work or has a large family to care for, but at the end of the day he can be just as passionate about the team as I am. It's the general feeling of being part of NUFC that creates the atmosphere we have in and around town. I consider myself lucky to be in a position to have a ST and get to the games and enjoy the atmosphere and company of like minded people. I travel to the away games with people like myself that I've got to know well from using the same travel company and enjoying a good chat over a cup of coffee and a snack at the service station stops. That's just my good fortune though and ST holders are in the minority when it comes to being fans. The man on the street be he a ST holder or not creates the buzz that goes around the town and long may it continue.

We're all B&W and we're all UNITED.

HTL.

 

I couldn't resist making a couple of changes to this.

 

I'd say season ticket holders are among the best fans of a club (obviously they're best supporters because of the amount of money they put in), you wouldn't get a season ticket holder who wasn't passionate about the club. But then I think you get fans who have the passion, but can't get to games frequently enough (either through finances or for other reasons) to justify buying a season ticket.

 

Hmmm, very interesting, I wonder what they can be?

 

very good thread AB

 

Sorry. I was powerless to stop myself.

 

Didn't know u had the power to do that, you very naughty boy.

 

Hope it's nothing rude.

 

I'd say that most of the time the season ticket holders will be the most passionate..but then again you will get people like the girl who sits in front of tash and just texts ()..
then again you can't say someone isn't as good a fan if they can't afford a ST or live too far away..
tricky one.. good question

 

A lot of ST holders just go because it's the thing to do, something from the Keegan days, but they don't understand the game or have the passion that the regular everyday guy has. You don't see them jumping up and punching the air when we score or shouting encouragement at the top of their voice.

Fair enough, they make the numbers up and put cash into the club coffers but they're a bit like silent partners.

 

I think a club like Newcastle is different to say.. Chelsea or Man United
The season ticket holders there have no passion, was it the prawn sandwich brigade roy keane called them?

 

u should get yourself down the clinic son

 

Wondered how long before someone pointed that one out.

 

lucky boy, having an STI an' all...

 

Somebody been tampering with my post, now I wonder who that was? Oh AbGlo?

 

Naughty naughty, see what you've done now? I'm reporting you to a mod!

 

I dont consider myself a better fan than someone who doesnt have a season ticket, people have reasons not to go and higher priorities. The only way you could judge something like this is if someone could easily afford a ticket, lived in the area and had the time to go to games but chose not to.

 

I've given myself a severe reprimand.

 

I hope it hurt!
