It seems that the new American hieracy that has taken over at Manchester United has decided to bleed dry the only loyal/proper supporters they have. It seems that ManUre had written into the small print of the season ticket terms that they would only release the season tickets to the purchaser of such item if they agreed to buy a ticket for every cup game for the forthcoming season. That included all Euro ties. Bearing in mind these tickets retail at £38 a pop.
Well a bloke I work with who has been a season ticket holder for the past 11 years is going mental and has already contacted ManUre for his season ticket money back and has told them to shove their tickets up their fat cash hording arse. As he was telling me this, I assumed he was exaggerating and he must have know I was thinking this, because as I got back to my desk I noticed he’d forwarded an email from ManUre telling him that they’d tried to debit his account for the first cup ticket.. and this is what it said…..
"In the event of a card or payment being declined: (i) a ticket will not be issued, (ii) where the season ticket holder is a One Year Only Season Ticket holder, such season ticket holder may lose their priority position on any season ticket waiting list, and (iii) the season ticket holder will be liable to pay any resulting bank or other similar charge incurred by the Club. In addition, if a card or payment is declined on two or more occasions (whether during a single season or over the course of more than one season) the Club shall have the right to: (i) terminate the season ticket holder’s participation in the Season Ticket Holders Home Cup Ticket Scheme; (ii) withdraw the season ticket holder’s season ticket with immediate effect and/or; (iii) terminate any other arrangements that the season ticket holder has with the Club."
….Bloody hell, I know, robbing bastards. So they could terminate your season ticket for not buying a cup ticket? Now that is taking your eye balls out. Truly devilish behaviour (pun intended). Just thought I’d share that with you. So you season ticket holders at other clubs. It may not be too long before the others catch on, it’s up to you to make a stand, and or, read the small print to avoid highway robbery. I though will continue to be a armchair supporter with the odd away game thrown in for good measure. But to be fair, it’s a good job for non-NUFC fans that I don’t go to every game, because I’m quite a lucky omen to be honest. I’ve never seen Newcastle get beat in the Premier League. And before you say it, (you’ve probably only been to 1 game) no, I’ve probably been to about 30-40 games, admittedly in the Keegan days but still, not a bad accolade to have. Plus I have seen them play, Man U, Liverpool and Arsenal in recent seasons. Up the Toon.
