A sad day for BHAFC

[Gerbil]

Utter cock, there is no such person as this. Do you honestly think that people will give money to a cause in which they have no interest, a football team they have never watched?

Utter cock eh

I know 2 people who have never been to a Brighton game,ever and have both given £250.

Ooh sorry I forgot you must know EVERYBODY to make a statement like that.

Surely this is a hypothetical debate: how many people who aren't season ticket holders or AMS members will have forked out to the A&K appeal?

Me 4 one.

However when I donated (A birthday present to myself) I did so at a level that got me something's for it.
1. In a draw for a season ticket for Falmer
2. My name on a seat (mainly so I can go up to who is in it and say get out of my seat, and when they say your seat is your name on it and I can say well actually yes it is!
2. A naff certificate (still not found a decent frame that fits the thing!)

The Tickets stuff is an unexpected bonus although, as it happens, I can't go.

I cannot believe this tedious argument, which appears every time that an interesting match comes up, is still going. Everybody who really wants a ticket, and doesn't leave applying til the last minute, will get one. Now shut up the lot of you.

I have it on good authority that Spurs are worried about Albion fans being in the home end, so anyone looking suspicious will be asked to sing three verses from random songs chosen from the musical 'Fiddler on the Roof'

If they have never been to a game, why would they want to go to Spurs? And if they have not been to a game the chances are they will be late in getting their applications in so will miss out on the first come first served distribution method.
Anyway, why should they not be entitled to a ticket?

 

[Gerbil]

Nobody has said they shouldn't be entitled to a ticket have they?
The point is that people that may never have been to a game have as much chance of getting a ticket in the "postal scrum" as all those that have been regularly.
So, you'd be happy to miss out to one of these people would you?

No i didn't think so.

Then again I'm speaking badly of the club here and that's not allowed is it.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Nice little unexpected windfall for the club - all these people rushing to join the AMS

 

[Robot Chicken]

Strange, a thread 9 pages long and no one has moaned about the Supporters Club getting a share of the tickets.

 

[portlock seagull]

Football should just be banned because it causes lots of arguments like this zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Uh-oh, here comes the total paranoia again.

For something that's "not allowed", it's amazing how much of it you are able to do.

That's because the Alive and Kicking donators are today's winner of the "grab a scapegoat" prize for the terminally lightheaded "gizza Spurs ticket" brigade.

Yesterday it was the poor Wrexham fans clutching their Falmer banners.

Tomorrow it could well be the Supporters Club's turn - watch this space.

I never understand statements like that. It's up to you if you want to slag off the club. Thats your opinion. However, some people will disagree. That is their opinion. This is a message board where people come to share their opinions (and talk drivel). These opinions won't all be the same and disagreements will ensue. Live with it. Don't get uptight just because you have expressed your opinion and someone else on here disagrees. What would be the point in a message board where everyone though the same?

Can't we change that to the "Dare to disagree with that really really funny bloke London Irish " brigade?

All this talk of A&K fund contributors being entitled to a ticket is interesting. Interesting because at clubs like Liverpool preference is given to shareholders (they are not a listed company so there aren't tens of thousands of them) and then season ticket holders-remember too that they have a shed load more looking for tickets than we ever will (something like 35,000 season ticket holders).

For cup finals, season ticket holders know whether they'll get a ticket or not by the last digit on their season ticket. If your ticket ends in an odd number and you get a cup final ticket-next time there's a final even numbers get the tickets. Compare this to what's happening here today....makes me wonder what things will be like when we get Falmer, have over 12,000 season ticket holders and get allocated 2000 tickets for a big game!!!

 

[Beach Hut]

Yep and Manure have different types of season ticket holders entitled to different tickets like some guarantee semi and final tickets.

Falmer and a bigger fan base will change things considerably.

 

[e77]

I personally think it disgusting that priority for tickets is given to people who get their arses into gear and send in an application as soon as the ticket details are announced.

It is completely prejudicial against people who are too busy moaning on NSC about ticket allocations to get an application in.

Great post e77. I have been going to away games for many years and have never once failed to get a ticket to a match I wanted to go to. It really isn't that tough. If you miss out it's nobodys fault but your own so stop trying to blame the world for your own inefficiency.

[beorhthelm]

im quite shocked by the logic of some people on this debate - following some trains of thought, why dont those who've held season tickets for 3 years get priority over those who only got one this year?

Whats the AMS about? Its a list of names and addresses so they can track who buys a ticket do that if someone causes trouble they can be indentified. Thats it at the end of the day. So why the hell not include the A&K donators if the club have their details? If someone pays £250 to A&K shirly they deserve equal chance of getting a ticket as someone who joined the AMS for £10 2 years ago.

The club keep it really f***ing simple: if your on our database then you get priority, then its the rest of the world.
