I want to buy a season ticket once more but as a boycotter
(apart from a few lapses recently) I am worried that my money will get somehow
into 'his' pocket! My old seat has gone, no doubt to someone of the 'support
the team not the regime' persuasion (no argument sought) and I am anxious that
if I wait too long from buying a half season ticket all the currently available
seats nearby will be gone.
I will try and get some information from the club but I doubt if they would be
able to give me a definitive answer at this time. If they do I will pass it on
but if somebody out there has an 'official' or close to it answer I would
appreciate them sharing this here.
Thank fuck its all over (probably)!!!!
What would people think if our new owners copied Newcastle's plan?
Newcastle are offering season ticket holders a free additional half-season ticket to gift to fellow supporters to help fill St James' Park.
Sunday's victory against Southampton was Newcastle's lowest home crowd for a Premier League match since November 2010, with 42,303 in attendance.
The free ticket will cover 10 home Premier League games, starting against Everton on 28 December.
Tickets will be available on a first-come first-served basis from Tuesday.
"To have the crowds we have is wonderful and we can't ever take that for granted," said Magpies boss Steve Bruce.
"But the question to all of us at the club is can we pack the stadium to the rafters?
"It starts with results on the pitch, but I hope a gesture like this will help us to fill the place because St James' Park in full voice is a force to be reckoned with."

While the Newcastle offer is commendable.I would be really pissed off if someone who has not attended for a few years,suddenly got a freebie,when others have been regular unbroken season ticket holders.
As soon as it is confirmed that that wretched wrinkled old Belgian oxygen thief is fucked off, I have committed myself to a half season ticket. Old age and infirmity may mean it is leant out to family more often than used by myself, but I will offer this up as a show of solidarity... BUT only when Messieur Shirtweasel is back in his hutch for good.

I haven't seen any commentary regarding the Newcastle season ticket offer, as to why it's necessary, they've never had trouble filling St James' Park before. I would have thought Mike Ashley as owner is a big turn off for people, and I know there was talk of boycotts in the summer.
It's a clever piece of PR by the club, but would be nice to hear some views from the other side, I can't imagine many would be too happy if Roland had offered free half season tickets (not that he ever would).

Well i went to NEWCASTLE once before 13905 attendance TROUBLE FILLING St James Park dont make me laugh.
13,500 attendance tonight - a bit disappointed with the response on the ground to the takeover at the last couple of home games to be honest.
That’s an impressive number if true, the weather was absolutely awful, even with a roof on the stand we all got soaked and we were probably one bad tackle away from the game being abandoned. For anybody outside the M25 venturing out in that weather to go the the game it was probably not the smartest thing to do.

I’m still a little afraid to order, although I’d like to ASAP with Xmas post getting busier.
I couldn’t see any pies on sale at the Sheff Weds game, do we not sell them anymore or was I at the wrong kiosk?
