Hope these new fans were picking up come out in full force with their face paint, foam hands and tiger onesies. Make us a real tiger nation.
Just got mine now. To be honest most of the people had renewal forms like me. Queue is even bigger even after I got mine and spent half an hour in tiger leisure. Quite few people getting Wolves/Bristol/ Barnsley tickets
No complaints from me. I'd rather have a full stadium with the club banking the cash than empty seats any day.. I just wish we'd seen a few more at homes games this season.
don't worry (tongue in cheek) after we win on Tuesday and Friday night you wont need the tickets, we will already be up!
We need them and i welcome a full stadium, i've been calling for one all season but these bandwagon jumpers deserve to be labelled for what they are. Fickle ****s.
A season pass is a big commitment for someone who is jumping on a bandwagon. Personally I don't see a problem with new supporters. I wasn't a huge follower before we were in the Prem - I didn't even watch that much football - but now I'm hooked. The more support the better whether they're new or not. It's not like new fans are taking a team away from anyone or anything like that. Seriously I think some of the more long time fans should get off their high horses.
Agreed, although I am surprised with how poor our home attendances have been considering we have more or less been in the top 6 all season
It's very annoying when we have hardly any fans to get behind the team to get us to the PL, and when you travel up and down the country only for you to struggle to get tickets for big away games because people want to go to Old Trafford and The Emirates, also what about fans who don't need to buy passes when we're in lower divisions as they're guranteed tickets, only for that to change when we reach the PL and they struggle to get tickets. Then its very annoying.
Took me about an hour and half this morning to get through for two tickets. They asked if we were both a season ticket holders, just said yes (We both are are) but got the impression they didn't check! Never asked for a name/No of the 2nd season holder. You'll know when you get through as it goes straight to the answering direction service thing rather then just ringing.
Just to show true support for the club, I wear a tiger "g" string! I put it on for a laugh for the play off finals, but lost it! I know its in there somewhere cos everytime I fart it sounds like Im playing a violin. Does that make me a true fan or a bandwagoner?
You would struggle to get tickets for those games even if we gained zero new fans. You could argue that those fans that don't buy passes because of the guarantee of getting tickets in the lower leagues should be more prepared for the PL? It's a bit silly to think PL tickets will just be available.
So you're telling me that if we gain 8 thousand new 'fans' that's not going to have an effect on being able to get tickets? And no, they only allow a certain amount of season tickets to be bought, you can't tell me that you think it's okay to turn up to games because we're playing Manchester United and leave true fans without tickets?
Nope smooth as a baby on that front, I tend to keep my undies on for weeks at a time, when I take them off its like getting a wax job!
Why are you so bothered about the Man United game specifically? Just go to the many games that will be easy to get a ticket for, Stoke, Norwich, Fulham...etc, you go to support Hull City not to watch Man United.
