This is one of the subheadings:
On Tuesday, 30,000 fans attempted to buy one of 1,000 season-tickets on sale

A fact which leads Hope to write that “Not even in the era of Kevin Keegan and The Entertainers were 29,000 fans locked outside the stadium”

Another thick mag who’s been dreaming of 90k seater stadiums then. Local journos haven’t been the highest quality for a while, but I’m sure I can remember when national sport journalists were better than these fanzine writers.

More media feeding the delusion to the deluded by implying it was 30,000 different fans in a queue. This 30,000 wanting STs is obviously going to feed into their ego plus it's not as if they'd already sold 50,000 STs. Again, I'm not denying they've got a huge fan base and one of the biggest and most fanatic in the country but they don't half blow smoke up their own arse at times, again often fed by the media baiting for likes, clicks, ads etc.

Just out of interest I had a quick look at the 1st mag forum I could think of and saw their season ticket thread. Skimming a few pages you can see that people have multiple logins, just as I thought given we've done it ourselves when waiting for ticket releases in the past. One even reckons he had 40 open and it's not a hard thing to do this for a techy minded person. Even the other 6 posters in this image had around 22 queue places so over 3 places each on average. This wasn't even all the people who had multiple places so this 30,000 thing is a delusion of grandeur as it could well have been a lot less than that in reality.

If I was on tw@tter like @Exile 1968 then I'd have some fun with the Mags in that Craig Hope article by hoying this link and image up to show it wasn't actually 30,000 fans but just the amount of places people took up by taking multiple places 🤣

More fun watching the terrorist lovers fighting over who’s the biggest and bestest geordie.

Wonder where the ***** were when 10k season cards had to be handed out for the pig pen?

:lol: Just pointing out the obvious I suppose yet people like Craig Hope (and a lot of other media outlets) are spreading delusion with this 30,000+ fans myth. Aye their demand is bigger than supply now but it's not as big a demand as they're trying to imply and in reality nobody knows but it's not greater than 30,000 that's for sure ;)

I forgot to mention that a lot of those wanting season tickets will also be the casual match attenders who may attend quite a lot of games but not all (though some may still go to all but not be a season ticket holder). In previous season they will have added to the 30,000 season ticket holders and not really worried about not being able to get tickets but obviously now demand has gone up a bit. The solution for some would be to fork out for a season ticket and just sell or give away (if they can afford to) the games they can't get to. So in reality these aren't extra fans who would add extra to the attendance, they're just fans already in the numbers becoming more permanent. Though to be fair, some will also have been the Ashley protestors trying to get back in.

They aren't the richest club in the world. They have the richest owners. They think PIF have set aside all their money to spend on them. They haven't.

Aye but the same applies to all clubs. All Qatars money isn't going to PSG (as we know from the world cup), all of Abu Dhabi's money isn't going to City, all of the money all owners have isn't going to their clubs.
Its achillies paradox and it comes out the same in the end. They have more money available to be put in by their owners than other clubs have to be put in by theirs.
KLD's not going to spend his families fortunes on us alone even in a best case scenario.

They are an absolute shambles mind aren't they. Mock the way we speak, our lack of a named airport, our city centre etc but i'd rather personally live in a Kuwaiti ket-hole then ever support them man. Look at the state of the video.
