Yeah between the overcharge from sellers & the high fees from the website it's working out at like 200 quid a ticket before hotel/flights.. And that's a normal ticket

You get a hospitality ticket with the travel agents, free food/drink so it's probably worth paying a bit more to get the benefits. I like being behind the goals for the craic but better view with the hospitality tickets  Smile At least with Leeds you're guaranteed a good atmosphere, that's the only thing I don't like about going to Old Trafford, if you're not behind the goals the atmosphere can be non existent (same for a lot of the big teams these days)

I was planning on going to the Bournemouth game in early March but looks like that's dead in the water as tickets are gone apart from the reseller sites. My cousins are season ticket holders but at the moment it's not really fair to deny them a game either so I'm waiting to see when one of them can't attend (he works odd hours so can be caught with games sometimes).

It might work out ok and I get a big game but I just have to wait and see. What the point in having membership for myself and the two kids is I dunno.


That being said the eldest is mad for more live matches so I've got a season ticket to Sligo Rovers for this year for us as well so that should tide us both over

Not prem, but I've used StubHub in America and all good. A mate used fanpass for Anfield tickets last season and had no problems. Overpriced, of course, but seemed legit

It's illegal to sell footie tickets there, not sure how they get around that but they seem to easy enough

You could try pinging Zaph, he might know how to get Leeds tickets?
Got sorted with tickets through fanpass for the leeds Brighton game in march so cheers for letting me know about that one!

Got a great deal on flights with Ryanair, over Friday night,  back Sunday morning,  standard cheap hotel too so its not gonna cost as much as I feared!

Thanks for proving my point, LiVARpool getting away with murder this season pac

RE: Soccer Chat - Wichita Lineman - 31-01-2023

You see what you want to see. We might be playing badly but one reckless foul doesnt make Liverpool a dirty team. 

Just like this one doesnt make Utd a dirty team. It's a contact sport.

Marsh sacked from Leeds

City look like they could be in a bit of bother with financial fair play, over 100 breaches in last 8 years or something.. Reports are Pep is going to leave because he was assured by the club & owners that they were within regulations.. I fully expect them to just end up with a big pointless fine & maybe a transfer ban for a season or two, but would be great if they were docked points

RE: Soccer Chat - Wichita Lineman - 07-02-2023

If the current rules are applied they could actually end up in non league football but I'm sure their well paid lawyers will find a way to prevent that. However their reluctance to cooperate for over 4 years has to go against them too surely.

RE: Soccer Chat - ShaneU - 07-02-2023

Kick them down to non-league level. Who would have thought a Saudi club would be so corrupt

RE: Soccer Chat - Irish Aris - 07-02-2023

I don't expect anything extreme to happen to City, if the end up found guilty (which could take a while).
I expect a points deduction that will ensure no European qualification, but no relegation either. . . which will be a big missed opportunity for PL to set a precedent - then it will become open season for all teams to break the rules.

I am still very impressed with the creative accounting PL allows - that enables the likes of Chelsea to spend loads in one go, because they can amortize the value in all years of the contract. Cash going out shouldn't take any such consideration in place, but since they allow it Chelsea (and any team for that matter) are perfectly entitled to do it

I think they are closing that loophole, to an extent, from next season. Teams will only be able to spread the transfer fee over 5 years max, regardless if the contract is for longer.

RE: Soccer Chat - aaronjennings - 07-02-2023

I'll believe any potential punishment when I see it. They'll probably end up with a slap on the wrist and a fine that wouldn't even cover half their weekly wages

Not that it means anything to millionaire footballers these days but to do that against his former club that nurtured his career and helped him make his name, when they're already 2-0 up and cruising speaks to a serious lack of character.
Cowardly stuff.

Perhaps no surprise though, given the way he turned his back at international level too. Looking at him now, I'm glad he did. Talented as he is, I'd hate to have to support him

RE: Soccer Chat - lorcand1990 - 14-02-2023

Breaking news, Liverpool actually score a goal and manage to win a game! (I still rekon ye will sneak top 4).. Everton are terrible, hope they go down

On diving, I remember quite a while ago now United played Mourinho's Porto at Old Trafford, twas the year Porto won it & they had a few guys on the team that followed Mourinho to Chelsea. The general consensus was that the diving and play acting that day was at another level. I bet if we looked back now it's probably what most teams do these days, Mourinho was just at it earlier than most! Portuguese players in general seem to have a talent for diving around the place  Smile

Unfortunately we still lack the depth to compete at this level for a whole season. Second half some of our players looked very tired and off the pace.
Fight with Utd now for 2nd place.

If City get a long run in Champ League & FA Cup that's a lot of extra fixtures for them to take into account. I would have them favourites but don't rule yourselves out just yet! Ye have a decent run of fixtures coming up too

That last minute draw at Palace really cost United, we'd only be 3 points off the pace if they held on

Ah here, show some sensitivity taking about last minute draws at Palace costing title runs. Too soon, the wounds are still raw
