Wonder if it works on the self serve scanners in supermarkets? That'll be 34p please Edit Should have said That'll be 4p please Because they're not a full shilling
There was one fishing when we went to the Tees Barrage on Sunday. The bairn said "bloody hell, we come all the way to Teesside and there's a bastard mag here!" I have brought her up well.
The Mags are upset because Barcelona have only sold a few hundred tickets for their match on Thursday Idiots ... that's because they don't see you as rivals, expect to beat you and don't think Newcastle is a glamourous party city. They're happier in London, Paris, Monaco ... ... in fact any city where the locals don't think they're absolutely fascinating
Apologise if already posted but the Dundee school mystery has been solved. Been going on for 10 year, some bollix about tour operators and they knew nowt about it apparently. Those lot will believe any old ****e.... Newcastle United have cancelled more than 100 season tickets and apologised to supporters for an "oversight" after seats sold to tour organisers a decade ago were "not detected until recently". The club have taken action following a further investigation into the unauthorised re-selling of tickets for matches at St James' Park. It comes in the wake of a school nearly 200 miles away being able to buy tickets for the massively in-demand Champions League home game against Barcelona on Thursday night. The club explained that when the new owners took over four years ago, they ended agreements with third parties that allowed them to sell tickets. That included the deal agreed a decade ago with a small group of tour organisers "for the benefit of school groups" - but the club did not realise they were still selling tickets because there was no formal deal with the organisers. "At a time when we are doing our utmost to protect legitimate access for Newcastle United fans, we want to be fully transparent and apologise for this oversight," the club said. Forty-five tickets for the Barcelona match were bought by the High School of Dundee in the same month that 110,000 fans had been in an online queue for the remaining seats for the highly anticipated fixture. A spokesman for the school said they purchased them in good faith, after being "approached" by a provider, but the tickets were subsequently cancelled by the club. Newcastle have now terminated a total of 103 season tickets in recent days for breaching terms and conditions. The club says the latest situation does not relate to individual supporters re-selling their tickets for St James' in "this instance". The tour organisers bought the season tickets in the 2015-16 campaign. United stressed that the continued use and unauthorised resale of season tickets at a "higher package price" was not discovered because there was "no formal contract in place for the tour groups". "Upon being made aware of this issue, the club took immediate action," a statement read. "The club have not received any funds above the face value price of these season tickets and have immediately returned the seats for sale to supporters who have entered the official ballot for upcoming fixtures." The Newcastle United Supporters' Trust (NUST) had been "inundated with messages" from upset fans after tickets for the Barcelona game were snapped up by the High School of Dundee. Lisa Mole, the chair of NUST, said the trust is "glad they had brought it to attention and it had been sorted". But she stressed that NUST would continue to "push for full transparency and make sure Newcastle United supporters are put first". "We're happy that the club have taken action, people have been made accountable and the season tickets have been removed," she said. "But, at the same time, it's very disappointing that we're in a situation where this has even had to happen. "These things shouldn't have been going on. It's 103 seats every single home game that have been going to people we would class as outside of the fanbase."
Load of bollocks! Are they saying that this didn't happen the last time they were in the champions league? Are they seriously saying that they've not noticed tour operators having season tickets for each season they've been in charge and just noticed now? It's only because it's been picked up from that school that it's been made an issue, if it hadn't been picked up they'd have said nothing. This is arse covering but not very well done.
Jeremy Clarkson has more chance of getting permission from the council to build a public ****house on his land.
I think it's closer to 1984 and thought crime. Deep down they know it's wrong but they can't say because Big Brother is watching. So they let history be rewritten and pretend everything is alright and has always been this way.
And big brother in their case is the State with money they dreamt of! We sold our morals and let ourselves be taken for mugs "wa the richest club in the warld" The status they believe being the richest club in the world brings them is worth nay cost to them and their collective morals or pride! I need to add I don’t believe the wealth of owners means you are suddenly the richest club, owner wealth isnt tbe se thing as club wealth
I used to live near tees barrage. Was a full kit ****er used to walk around there in a full mag tracksuit with a cap. Scruffy looking twat.
A double whammy of the old saying, 'Knowing the cost of everything, but the value of nothing.' They haven't yet admitted to themselves that it's cost them their entire credibility and the respect of other people. So they'll thrash around believing that 'winning things' will immunise them ... ... but the virus is taking hold and there's no cure. Their owners are a corrupt murderous State and no amount of tea towels, waffle or Sam Fender can change that.
As an aside to this ticketing fiasco, 45 school children have been denied what would have been, let's be honest, a terrific outing. If NUFC had any class whatsoever they would have honoured the trip, perhaps even upgraded it (visit to the dressing room, meet the players - whatever) and made a bit of a song and dance about it. would have done their PR the world of good, and by God it needs it. Could have done the ST banning alongside with no detriment. Instead they've acted the twat and came out looking even worse.
They haven’t banned any season tickets. Absolute bullshit that. Seen one of them say ‘the whole country’ was delighted to see them win a trophy the other day. Mad cos the country I live in most of the comments were about how unbearable they’d be. Like Liverpool lite except Liverpool’s trophies deserve major celebration.
