I’m not obsessed same as I didn’t gloat when we were unbeaten from 1980 to 2008 on Wearside! Given what both clubs have had as owners in last few years it really is 2 bald blokes fighting over a comb!
And yes 5 times the tickets is simply because of its you and us! However my reasons for coming are different as I pointed out


Excellent point well put as well

It really isn't two blokes fighting over a comb.....Let's be honest, majority of Mergs are as thick as mince, can't take their drink and will want to come through and smash the place up as they've got Fook all to shout about...........so in essence Fook the Mags, do a beam back to ya little shit tip....
 
Seen the pound signs with little consideration for anything else.

Hence the jacking of the prices in the first place.
Have I missed something here??
The report says that the mags want more, that we don't want to give them more due to security risks, but that we may have to give 10% of capacity (4800?)

I said it from the moment the draw happened. The new owners have done some great things since taking over. However I’m going to call it naivety and they have dropped a bollock with this one I’m afraid.
They don't want to give more - not on the report in the op.
What bollock dropping you on about ?

Charlie says 10% for this fixture is far too high.

I can see the seats getting ripped out with all that's been made of our new ones.

I also can't see them getting more policing costs will be to high.
 
They can field 4 first teamers- given those players will be worth more than our first team- we are getting a free hit here- we are a lowly team playing 2 divisions below- when we beat them again it will hurt like fck

They can only play 2 players that are age over 21 and have played more than 40 first team games.

The rules of the competition are as follows:
  • Academy teams must start at least six players aged 21 or under as at 30 June 2018
  • Those teams can only include two players over the age of 21 who have made 40 or more senior appearances prior to 2018/19

Here's my totally biased view on the situation.
Given that the demand for tickets from the mags has greatly exceeded their home attendance for the last round of the competition I think it's safe to assume that a sizeable percentage of their support will be coming through to try and give it the big 'un and claim some kind of "result " from this. As in days gone by the majority of these will just be gobby teenagers jumping up and down behind a line of coppers ( hold me back or I'll kill someone syndrome ). What worries me however is that a certain amount of violence will occur and someone may be seriously injured or even worse. I can almost guarantee that damage will be caused to the stadium ( they have a history relating to this ) . The Newcastle united based media will have a field day and any of the good work done by our new owners so far will be undone overnight. More tickets for them = more policing, more violence , more damage to the stadium and surrounding areas and more chance of bad publicity.
It's a no brainer man.
It'll be a chance to do what they want.
Thousands of them coming over and our stadium empty as thankfully not many of us give a fuck

Stop worrying about what might and what mightn’t happen. Get yourself there and support the team you love against the team we all f***ing hate. They’ll love nothing better than to take the piss out of a small crowd. FTM
Disagree.
A huge crowd to watch their u23's, that's embarrassing man.
Treat it with the disdain it deserves.
It's a nothing match in a horrible cup comp which should never be happening

If they want more tickets then that's fine by me but they should be made to pay (or pay more) towards the policing costs.
 
be madness to give them more tickets considering the policing costs and damage they'll cause to the stadium

they've already got to many so fuck them
 
If it was the other way round we would take as many as they'd give us.
Its a chance to take the piss.
It'll be full of charvers like when stoke u21 played port Vale - loads of pricks taking videos on their phones of smashing up loos an that

Generally I would agree however, the mags allocation has been taken up by their fans with the most lost ally points, now for one, I am not saying they are not all charvers but one or two maybe house trained.
 
Yeah , of course. But that's for a day out at Wembley. Don't give a fuck about the cup, and certainly don't give a fuck about our 1st team playing a team of u23's

I understand that but to get there we have to beat their kids whether we like it or not. I agree the competition is shit since they added academy teams but I'd still love us to make the final and hate to see their under 21's get there. We simply have to beat them therefore the more fans we have at the stadium when we play them the better.
