Invasion of London 8th Jan 05

[The Wookiee]

The invasion of London starts with at least 5500 heading into the capital from Brighton.

6500 making their way to the Chelsea from Scunthorpe.

At least 3000 (TBC) coming from Norwich to West Ham

At least 3000 (TBC) from Nottingham Forest to QPR

1000? from Rochdale to Charlton

Is there enough beer to go round ?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Scunny are bringing 6,500. Wicked, well done to them.

Miserable bastards.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

I would imagine there will be a few thousand coppers out as well then.

Good reason for being miserable, they live in SCUNThorpe.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

I think a city of 7 million people may just have enough beer to cope with 20k extra people.

Good point, well presented.

I spose they're bringing so many because it's a chance to get out of their shitheap of a town for a few hours.


And I'm not even being sarcastic.

Sold all the tickets in 2 hours of going on sale!

It would be interesting to know how they allocated the tickets amongst there fans and if the system worked.

As long as they go back there in the evening, do not want their types in the south.

And I assume they will ALL be calling in at Virgin at Tottenham Court Road to snap up the 30-odd copies of Tom Hark on sale there?

I would haev thought they would have queued (sp?) up.

Not like they have jobs...

If anyone wants to pop round my house for a plum schnapps, i've got plenty.

What Scunthorpe are taking 6500 to Chelsea, and we can only manage to take 5500 to Spurs. I thought we had great away support.

erm are you really that thick?

we get 15% of the ground which is why we have 5400 tickets the same as scunny get 15% of the bridge which is bigger than WHL so they get 6500 tickets.

Chelsea fans aren't interested either so they may have more than their 15%. If Tottenham didn't care we probably could have had 7500 or so.

STH's got first go, then general sale to anyone that wanted to queue up, started off at something like 4 tickets per person then as they started going through them quite quickly they made it 1 per person.

Plus they probably weren't asked to stump up money up front for any of their allocation.....

Looks like another perfect system

Start off allowing 4 per person

That pisses me off whenever tickets for anything go on sale because that's how these slimy touts get all of their tickets. Should be one ticket per person.

And don't forget that 67,000 Manure fans will be making their way from London to Old Trafford, so there will plenty of room.
