Tweet from Mr Donald.

@stewartdonald3: I appreciate it has gone up but Newcastle have asked 4 a lot of tickets & the Police bill, stewarding & general cost of the game etc is so much more due to that than the other games. We have tried to keep it sensible & we r certainly not likely to make much money based on costs.

Stupid if we just give them how many tickets they want like

If we get a decent crowd which in term creates a fervent atmosphere, what’s not to like?

It won't be a fervent atmosphere though will it? Our lot won't be up for it given no one really gives a fuck about the Checkatrade (derby or no derby) and the mags are only coming to take the piss, so we'll more than likely have to listen to 90 minutes of Liam O'Brien and Adam Johnson craic.

Let's just hope we beat the bastards to shut them up.
 
Town on that day will be hideous. Loads of LADs clad in designer gear bouncing around waiting for it to go 'off'
Then the middle aged men doing similar trying to recreate their youth.
 
Been told of a kid who has a mate in our ticket office we are getting 500 tickets

Honestly I'd just ban away fans. The extra income is massively outweighed by the near certain potential for it all to go tits up. Win, lose or draw, them fuckers will do anything they can to make a scene or some sort of incident, that will overshadow the game and be reported as 'rival fans clash' thus dragging our name down. The police and club won't treat it like a normal league derby between us and will have their guard down in my opinion, totally underestimating how much of a set of total trouble making charvers a high percentage of thier fans will be on the night. It'll be the worst mob they ever bring as thier tiny percentage of decent fans won't bother. There'll be hell on all owa the metro all afternoon in the middle of rush hour and no one will be responsible for managing it as 'it's just the u-23s / chekatrade trophy '. And if the worst happens and we get beat it will be unbearable. I understand I sound like a raging fanny, but i stand by it in this instance .

Completely agree mate.

A few years back, the sad twats were picking off old fellas with grandkids at East Boldon before hiding on the Metro. I’d expect something similar
 
No it wouldn't have been that much Chris. We have tried to balance it. One stand open though for the other games is cheaper. As soon as Newcastle requested their full allocation the costs for Police, stewards, etc etc went boom understandably. It won't be a payday with our costs

Stewart Donald on Twitter just now ..

If they are being given 3000-5000 tickets, the club and police are idiots

f***ing embarrasing the clip of some scrotes on twitter. Stewart Donald must have the patience of a saint. The bloke comes into the club, essentially saves us from death, addresses the seat issue, reengages with the fans and then a load of absolute scratters go on twitter and lay into him because he's charged a reasonable fee for a game that will require a lot of money on security and policing because the ugly fuckers up the road can't be well behaved. if you don't want to pay, fuck off and don't go.
