Still lacking sympathy for those without Leeds tickets....

What a sad individual you are, if anyone was in any doubt about this prize pillock now you have your answer.

I'm glad I have friends willing to do me favours and in return I do them for them as well.

for friends read dad. :drunk:

[The White City General]

Disgusting piece of gloating as usual.
How you are in a position to call people lazy for not getting down to the ground in person is beyond me, particularly as you yourself couldn't make it and had to rely on Daddy.
You should try using a bit of humility now and again, you might just get a bit of respect from those who think you are just a ****.
Obviously, there are people who will have had several opportunities to sort themselves out before now and as such have no right to be whingeing. There are others who for various reasons haven't managed to get a ticket, many have admitted that it's their own fault.
I suppose I will just have to be satisfied that I am fortunate enough to neither know you or to sit anywhere near you. And I'm sure that those "proper Rangers fans" you claim will benefit from the extra tickets you've got, also had suitable excuses.

But I have the tickets and my own season ticket, I had the common sense to arrange for the ole man to do the collection he's closer to the ground than me. I'm not the lazy one here, I haven't struggled to sort myself out. It'll will be me who is queuing for the the Cardiff tickets not him next time around, can't see your point.

What's your problem wouldn't your daddy queue to buy your tickets for you....have you been a naughty boy!!!!

[The White City General]

its not unreal to me. we are talking about cait here, she lives miles away and by the sounds of it is the only rangers fan in her circle. so expecting someone to go and que for you who isnt into rangers or football is expecting a bit much and in my mind mugging them off.
did anyone go and get your tickets who wasnt mad rangers who was going to get some anyway?
big difference, thats just a favour while they are there.
making someone go out of thier way and travel and then que and take a whole day doing so is a mug off imho, and i wouldnt ask any of my (2) friends in the world to do that, and even if i did they would laugh me out the pub and id be ridiculed for ages for even trying it on.

Trust me people would laugh at you anyway, you don't need to queue for a couple of hrs to buy some football tickets to achieve that

It's such a shame that success has brought out the worst "I'm alright Jack" attitude in some of our fans.
There's a big difference between genuine fans who for REAL, PRACTICAL reasons just couldn't get a ticket, and those who can't be bothered to come unless we're doing well.
My sympathy lies with the former -- and there seem to be many falling into that category.

Still think opening sales at 9am on a Saturday might have enabled more of the genuine fans to get a ticket.
Ticket bundles are all very well, but it's a lot of money, and some people who have missed out haven't got that lump sum, because they're already paying a fair bit of money attending some away games -- which costs a fortune it itself.

My problem is your attitude to those who may just have been unable to get tickets. As stated on another thread, I did try to call to get another one or two which I would happily have given away to those who genuinely were struggling, but as it happened, did not manage to get through. With the exception that is of the time I dialled the number that DavidLa gave out, but they refused point blank to let me do anything as I had not called on the 0844number.

Finally, Daddy can't queue for me as he died a few years ago. Hope that clears that one up.

Swanley I hope you're not refering to me as a I'm alright jack fan. I did enough to make sure I had a ticket, if others didn't do the same , then bad luck.
And before you start accusing me of being selfish, think about 9.30pm tonight when I begin my boxing match in aid for Help for heroes where I have personally raised in excess of 2 grand, for our brave soldiers comin back limbless from Afganistan. I do more than my fair share for others, but used my bonce for this rangers game.

I think he/she is referring to one individual in particular, a grade A ****

My attitude is what it is and I don't care, I got spare tickets for mates I knew wouldn't be able to get tickets and I'm glad to be sorting them out. I haven't been calling people glory hunters etc, I have been criticising the severe lack of common sense displayed by so many fans and the **** poor excuses they have come up with.

Sitting at home pressing the redial button for hours on end instead of travelling to the ground when you're within reasonable distance from it is bone idle laziness IMO. Off course there are more exceptional circumstances but its amazing how many will claim that is the case when the real truth is they had neither the common sense or ability to organise themsleves in good time.

In all off the this the most unfortunate fans are those who live overseas that want to make this game, but some donut from Uxbridge who can't sort himself out no sympathy for at all.

2 thoughts here -
Invariably when I see someone buying 30 tickets, or 100+ as some poster spotted yesterday, they turn out to be for Touts.

Fair play if 1 bloke went to buy 30 tickets on behalf of his 14 other mates, but I'll wager a few of them end up being sold for a nice profit on the day and before.

Secondly, Messageboards (and this one is no exception) are full of posters who live abroad or have circumstances, financial, family, or other, which prohibit them from attending as regular as they would like.
Armchair supporters is a bit harsh, but likely the 1 game they would save or try especially hard to attend would be the last game of a possible promotion season.

Fuse lit, and standing back.

Fairplay Jeffro, kind of shows how insignificant this ticket arguement really is.

Good luck with the boxing tonight!

i know id struggle to get some mug/joey to do it for me if i needed to.

No you'd struggle cos your 'mates' prob think your a bit of a penis.

Cardiff PO final, my pal rings me, 'I'm gonna go & grab some tickets shall I get you a couple' yes please. Job done what's wrong with that?

Arsenal cup game I ring same said pal 'I'm getting Arsenal tickets do you want me to get yours' Yes please job done.

It's what mates do for each other. I bet you and your 'proper' pals are a right bunch

Not commenting particularly on what you've said, but none of my local friends are Rangers fans -- depends on where you live and your circumstances.

I've often thought our life might be a lot easier living in West London rather than out here! Would save a lot of petrol money over a season, too.

Indeed Clark, ultimately everyone looks after no1 + family but it's what's in-between all that that matter s too
