Don't think that that is entirely fair on paigull,I think he or she is only trying to follow up on Andy's offer (but hijacking this thread !); unfortunately Andy's without internet, so difficult to contact. The other comments are fuelled by unfortunate performances of late, I would think. Hope Pea can sell her ticket..I'd probably have had it if I didn't already have one. Sorry !

Those of you saying you will have the ticket, but only if it's free, are a disgrace. Either you are going to support the team, or you are not. It matters not that that one person (who is prone to having hissy fits, sorry Andy) gives his ticket away. I think you are being unfair, to a young, hard working, student who was prepared to support the club by purchasing her ticket in advance, by suggesting that she give the ticket away. If you were going to the game, then you were prepared to pay for a ticket. Why do you think it's appropriate to expect a student to pay for your admission. Stop suggesting it, and if you want to go, then pay the going price.

Rant over or can we expect more?

It's not a rant, as such, it's just disappointment in, some peoples attitude. Not so much in the disregard of the team, but in the flippant disrespect of a fellow supporter, who has layed out a few pounds and now, because of circumstances, is just trying to recoup it. It's not like she is trying to sell the ticket for twice the price, just what you would have to pay anyway.

I know and agree with your sentiment. Was only having a giggle

I'll forgive you then.

If there was a cheap way of me getting over for this, I'd have purchased it, but it's going to cost me £154 to fly to Southampton and there's go chance of me getting back to Southampton to catch the 7:15pm flight back

You are forgiven, as well, then Scott. I do have a lilo you could borrow. How long would it take to to paddle across? :~D

Sorry to have upset you diamondgirl, but I go to every home game (only missed 1st 1 as i couldnt afford it) even when i havent felt like going cos of the position we're in. I dont go to away games as i cant afford them. I'll be going tonight & buying a ticket for the newport game, but wouldnt everyone take a free ticket to a game if they were offered it?

UP THE GULLS!

Paigull. Apology accepted. Please accept mine. It was not my intention to pick on any one individual, you just happened to be in the firing line.

I was just a wee bit annoyed that someone (Who I know personally) put up a genuine post. She is a student and has spent a lot of money on following TUFC, home & away, this season. She wanted to go to the Newport game (She has been to all home games plus all but about 4 away). She took the time, and spent the money, the buy the "Big Five" tickets, a couple of months ago. Due to university commitments she is, now, unable to go next Sat. All she wanted was to try and recoup her money, if possible. Some people (All be it probably in jest) though it would be ammusing to suggest that she either give the ticket away or, worst still, pay someone to take it off her hands.

I admit I have probably gone a bit OTT but I was, as I said, a bit p****d off with the flippant attitude of some fellow supporters.

In answer to your question, yes, I would take a free ticket, of course I would.

But, instead of getting your Newport ticket at the box office, tonight, why dont you arrange to meet myself and Pea and buy her ticket!! You get what you want (Maybe with a small saving ), she gets her money. Everyone is happy. Simples.

That's a decent idea. You'll pay a quid more at the box office than at Pea, since you'll be paying for the millions of Devon & Cornwall's finest to stand about with thumb up arse waiting for the two dozen Newport fans to start the world's most pitiful riot.
I think, in the Newport game, we might just have found a bigger waste of police time than their hiding in the bushes with a speed gun (or putting a cock and balls on display in Pets At Home...)

Matt.

Aren't you supposed to pull his....

Strangely enough thats what Super said.

Are you taking up my offer of a lilo Scott?

Hi diamondgirl, apology accepted! I would gladly pay Pea for saturdays game but her ticket is for the Popside & i wanted it for the Bench, where i usually sit, which is why i wanted to get in touch with austrianandy.

Lets hope for a good game tonight with a result for us.

Thanks anyway

COME ON YOU YELLOWS!!
