Why is everything so vague when it comes to these things.
The other week apparently police turned a number of people away from the Sol because they believed they might be Newcastle fans. My first thought is why not just say how many, was it one, two, five, fifty a hundred. Surely they know how many orders to leave they issued, and its as easy to say ten as it is to say a number of.
My second thought was I wonder on what grounds they believed they might be Newcastle fans. Did they have no previous purchase history, did they refuse to produce identification, were they saying wae'aye man or something more obvious like wearing Newcastle shirts and singing the Blaydon Races.
Sunderland have cancelled a number of tickets for the Wolves end, again why announce they have cancelled a number of tickets, why not just say how many and avoid creating more bad blood. If the number of tickets they have cancelled is two for example it's a bit of a none story especially considering they might have fell into Newcastle hands not they have.
