I am a season ticket holder
Beach Hut said:
Physically yes! Which is the point about getting my arse off the sofa and being proactive in my application.
BINFEST
I was a season ticket holder for the last 5 years. Not any more - I went to Hereford, Last game at the goldstone, Sunbury, had a sit in, went on marchs, did sponsered walks, went to cardiff in a limo ect ect.
*I didnt get a ticket and I am not complaining - get over it, all of you - You knew it was limited availablity, you knew season ticket holders didnt get priorty, you knew it was on a first come, first served basis. If you didnt get your appliction in - you didint get a ticket - its really not rocket science. All this crap about season ticket holders should get priority - CRAP. I can guarnatee that if only season ticket holders got offered tickets to big games, we would take half the crowd we do now. If you had got your application in on time and before everyone else - YOU WOULD HAVE GOT A TICKET - END OF.
*Didnt apply for one as there are many, many more deserving people than me

I will just add my two pence worth into this one. I am not a STH as I cannot afford to lay out in one go at the start of the year, I do try and go to as many games as possible and did get to the Millwall game.
Missed out on Spurs last year and went in the home end.
What I would like is a reasoned response as to why STH should always get preferential tickets. Just because they have the money to pay for REDUCED entrance at the start of the season. Surely the benefit of having a season ticket is that you get reduced price tickets and guaranteed seats to all home LEAGUE games.

I think 90% of the people who use NSC have a 'harder' job than you
You have 25,000 plus posts, which implies you are on, and using, NSC a f***ing hell of amount
So either you are the boss and delegate your work, don't work, or your job is hardly very taxing, allowing you to toss your day off on NSC?
Which one is it?

I just hope that all the people whingeing and bitching about West Ham tickets expend as much energy getting behind the team on Boxing Day.Withdean will be a cauldron of noise and passion.*

Beachy, I understand the point of view, and like many fans, do understand the economics of season tickets. But it is the same all over, take car tax, some buy 6 months because they haven't go enough money to pay for 12 months up front. The benefit as stated, is that if you pay for 12 months, you get it cheaper than 2 six months. The reason for that is that the government then has more cash up front to spend, which allows greater planning. I do not think that buying 12 months car tax should however entitle the driver to priority on new roads / bypasses over those only buying 6 months, or for that matter, those who have to use public transport. It is a matter of personal economics. I do actually think that the club have done the best they could with this one, and tried to reward those fans who show loyalty, not just by having money, but also showing support at Millwall. Equally, some couldn't get there, but demand was always going to out-strip supply. I believe that there were 5000 tickets. 899 at Millwall (some would have been season ticket holders, and some will not be going to West Ham. So assume 700 tickets that way, and STH also got priority over others.

The most curious thing..
FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
I was happier then and I had nothin'. We used to live in this tiny old house with great big holes in the roof.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
House! You were lucky to live in a house! We used to live in one room, all twenty-six of us, no furniture, 'alf the floor was missing, and we were all 'uddled together in one corner for fear of falling.
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
Eh, you were lucky to have a room! We used to have to live in t' corridor!
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
Oh, we used to dream of livin' in a corridor! Would ha' been a palace to us. We used to live in an old water tank on a rubbish tip. We got woke up every morning by having a load of rotting fish dumped all over us! House? Huh.
FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Well, when I say 'house' it was only a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin, but it was a house to us.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
We were evicted from our 'ole in the ground; we 'ad to go and live in a lake.
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
You were lucky to have a lake! There were a hundred and fifty of us living in t' shoebox in t' middle o' road.
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
Cardboard box?
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
Aye.
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
You were lucky. We lived for three months in a paper bag in a septic tank. We used to have to get up at six in the morning, clean the paper bag, eat a crust of stale bread, go to work down t' mill, fourteen hours a day, week-in week-out, for sixpence a week, and when we got home our Dad would thrash us to sleep wi' his belt.
SECOND YORKSHIREMAN:
Luxury. We used to have to get out of the lake at six o'clock in the morning, clean the lake, eat a handful of 'ot gravel, work twenty hour day at mill for tuppence a month, come home, and Dad would thrash us to sleep with a broken bottle, if we were lucky!
THIRD YORKSHIREMAN:
Well, of course, we had it tough. We used to 'ave to get up out of shoebox at twelve o'clock at night and lick road clean wit' tongue. We had two bits of cold gravel, worked twenty-four hours a day at mill for sixpence every four years, and when we got home our Dad would slice us in two wit' bread knife.
FOURTH YORKSHIREMAN:
Right. I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing Hallelujah.
FIRST YORKSHIREMAN:
And you try and tell the young people of today that ..... they won't believe you.
