Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 15 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 15 July, 2011 My brother told me that he was at the T.O at 7.30 this morning and STILL had to queue for an hour and half after it opened. Cortese must be rubbing his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dune Posted 15 July, 2011 Share Posted 15 July, 2011 I appreciate your support, but you don't want to venture down this route on this board. Have you not heard about our great 'holidays' and 'gold-plated' pensions etc etc blah blah blah I wouldn't have said anything if I thought you were going to cry.

dune Posted 15 July, 2011 Share Posted 15 July, 2011 Did some kids have to have a stand-in teacher so that this chap could buy his ST then? It would appear so, but it was really really important that he got through today because there's only 17,000 tickets left and he might have missed out if he'd let it until after school.

Turkish Posted 15 July, 2011 Share Posted 15 July, 2011 Because I didn't want to risk being stood on my own. I don't know what you're getting so wound up about?! I was merely canvassing opinion, I'm not even sure why you felt compelled to comment. FFS how old are you???!!! Unable to sit/stand for 90 minutes a week without your pals to hold hands with.

John Boy Saint Posted 15 July, 2011 Share Posted 15 July, 2011 A big customer phoned me with a big order mid hold this morning, so tried again 12:15 , 26minutes later deal done. For those of you giggling at us fools, I am over the wall this afternoon to where I don't want to be calling an 0800 number from, when the lady on the phone was chatting as screens loaded she said that the majority of calls were from folks who knew exactly where they wanted to sit. So the big rush is obviously folks wanting to be with mates, and folks like me with one day to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorpe-le-Saint Posted 15 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 15 July, 2011 (edited) Did some kids have to have a stand-in teacher so that this chap could buy his ST then? No it was in my year 11 time, who as I'm sure you're aware, have now left so I was 'free'. I wonder if you will be so forthcoming in your apology as you were earlier, which I must say, was very refreshing.

I assume you're in a grump because your giro cheque didn't cash in time and you're having to wait to buy your season ticket? You may well have the longest wait of all of us.

Who on earth would want to go on their own. Going to football is about having a laugh, being merry and generally ****ing about. The football is more often then not a 90 minute distraction, and not always a good one. I can only assume you don't follow England away, otherwise you'd be well use to that.

LGTL Posted 15 July, 2011 Share Posted 15 July, 2011 Is it? I thought it was a really serious business. Perhaps it is for middle-aged, overweight shirters with their nickname on the back (it wasn't me, honestly ) who try and bully teenagers on an internet forum? For me, it's a laugh with mates.

It is a coincidence but if you read my posts prior to that geezer then you would know firstly that i dont own or wear football shirts to football so not a shirter and secondly think people that have their users names on the back are c*nts.

Somebody else earlier has given a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why they felt it was important to get their ST today if possible, but it appears that in your opinion, they are idiots. They might well have wanted a specific seat that they knew was available next to them or close to them. It might have been in a favoured part of the ground, in a stand they like, close to fellow fans that they get on with. It has been explained that they did not wish to run the risk that that seat might well have gone by tomorrow and that they did not wish to go through the rigmarole of relocating somewhere else, away from friends, and acquaintances that they like and had grown used to. I realise that none of these considerations apply to you, as you are just happy to be there, anywhere in the ground, wherever there is a spare seat.

Or that i am just not such a drama queen that i am panicing that the one seat of the 17,000 available is going to be taken by someone else. If it is, i'm a big boy, i'm sure i can cope with spending 90 minutes sitting next to someone i dont know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, i'm a big boy, i'm sure i can cope with spending 90 minutes sitting next to someone i dont know. Each to their own. In my own case, I knew from yesterday that the seat next to mine was still available at midday when I renewed my ST. Naturally as I was buying a new ST for my son, his having lapsed last year, I wanted to ensure that I had the best chance of getting that seat. I believe that had I left it until even tomorrow, it would have gone and either we would have had to sit in different areas of the block, or both had to relocate elsewhere. Now, I like both where we are in block 42 and have formed friendships with others around me. But I see that this sort of consideration means nothing to you, but as I say, each to their own.

Trying to spend this useless minute of time in the day trying to analyse it, would say his argumentative, irritating and attention seeking most likely stem from this.

It will keep giving the 'busy' tone but hang up and keep trying and you get through pretty quickly. I did anyhow. That worked a treat - thanks!
