You're spot on mate ......... it's very North African over there. The Tunisians coming on the ferries were cheered off by the locals. The trouble, on the night before the match, was some of the worst I've ever seen ...... cars turned over and set on fire, tear gas & baton charges, stabbings and running battles for 4 hours.
Again, you're right ........ the French don't really like us but the Arabs ****ing hate us. I had two of my sons with me so it was a balancing act between 'soaking up the atmosphere' and 'getting out of Dodge' when it got really bad. Thankfully there are loads of 'underground tunnels' so we vanished and popped up again in the 'de-militarised zone'
Devastated. This just isn't right at all. Got to start looking at my finances now to work out the maximum I will pay to get in. Then withdraw the cash, get in the car and get down there (Hope I don't get mugged)
Hold your nerve mate. Loads of people, who won't be truly be going, have bought tickets. When they look at the cost of travel, accommodation, entertainment etc the tickets will surface. Whatever the case, get down to Wembley on the Sunday and Smug will take care of business. Make sure your mobile is fully charged and keep my UK numbers. 07835 xxxxxxxx or 07792 xxxxxxxx. This isn't bullshit mate, I don't have any time for bullshit.
Thanks mate, you're probably right .......... but I don't mind anyone, on here, having my numbers tbh. My life is an open book and I'll always do owt to help fellow Sunderland.
I know mate I'll keep looking and will get down there regardless. Matey is right, I have your number so take it off here you'll get rinsed by mag tossers.
Cheers but it's just a bit of bait tbh. I've been in security for years and have ways of tracking people down. I'm quite capable of carrying out my threats and have done in the past ........ the look on people's faces, when you confront them, is worth all the effort "Sorry mate, it was just a joke, I didn't mean what I said."
I feel sorry for some of the exiles who can't get to home games, but some of the ****ers whinging on this thread live local, and are whinging about not getting a cup final ticket while we have had a game on.If you love the club that much, why the **** are you sitting on your laptops moaning instead of supporting the team...
I have got lots of people working on tickets for me, if I get more than 2 I will obviously put them on here. I think I am going to manage to get tickets but its not easy and when you think I work with 2 of the biggest ticket agents in the country it shows how hard getting tickets for this match is. It will all be corrupt by the way, I know how concert ticketing works and that is by no means fair, so I can only imagine what goes on it football. I live 200 miles away and work every Fri Sat night so had to give up my season ticket, but I still managed to make it to some of the rounds in the cup. I probably don't deserve a ticket as much as some do but I certainly deserve one more than some that have managed to get them. The system is not fair and never will be.
**** off is it a good point. People like you are the reason it's not a good point. Are you not a good Sunderland supporter ....... if not then why do you bother to post on here? Of course people are more likely to make an effort for a Wembley appearance than watching the reserves against Southampton in the 5th round.
Oh **** off. I' m bored of your ****e now. You are so quick to point to yourself. 'oh look at me, i;m Mr number one'. Well news flash **** face, there are many on here such as RAW, who have just as much right to their opinion, so like it or not, couldn't give a ****... Like you love to say 'i only reply in response'.
Bored of my ****e? FFS, all I'm doing is stating 100% accurate facts, I've never said I'm any better than anyone else. But I'm ****ed if I'll accept anyone, including you, questioning my right not to go to the match today. I applaud people like RAW, and always have, but living round the corner doesn't make anyone's support better than mine. My support is ****ing brilliant and, if you want a subject to argue about and lose, please choose that one ............... I'll wipe the ****ing floor with you.
If you read tho point I was making, I did stress that my gripes were certainly not aimed at the exiles who do not live in the area, but the locals on here who were whinging on their laptops while there was a game going on.. Man City are also in a cup final, as well as Europe, but their fans still turned up for a televised FA Cup game..
I did read that, understood and tried hard not to blow up ......... but the fact is that people don't realise what some folk have to go through. I drove up from Mansfield, with my son, for the Kidderminster game. It was ****ing ****e and cost us about £70 each, we saw other Sunderland people all the way up the A1 and A19. What was the attraction in repeating that when Poyet had already said he'd play the reserves and keep his fingers crossed for a defeat today?
On reading the points and reflecting, all my limited funds will go towards league matches after seeing 4 matches in the league cup not being given a sniff at Wembley tickets. If we make it to the fa cup semis or final I won't be showing an interest in obtaining tickets. There's about 5000 tickets unaccounted for i reckon/ I would have accepted losing out in a general sale. The club wants to give a **** off to me then right back at it. I'll support my club on my terms now. I've missed out on league matches to support this cup run and give the competition the respect it deserves, I've been shown none in return. If even a measly dozen tickets had gone on sale I would have respected it. No phase 3 no respect from me. Made sure those little Hitlers in the high-viz jackets had access to 4 each though didn't they?
