There WILL be some people who can’t go or their mates aren’t able to go who will then try and sell their tickets, unfortunately at a higher price, this happens, it has absolutely nothing to do with our ticket system or how we sold our tickets.

I agree in part. Yes most people have a price and therefore tickets will fall into the hands of people we rather didn't have them.

However if it was one person, one ticket, then many of those who queued Sunday and didn't get a ticket would have done so, and trust members outside Newport might have had a better chance.

I have not heard one coherent argument for multiple sales other than the club wanted to sell the tickets as quickly as possible. I think that may well be right but when lifelong fans miss out because of that policy, then I think it's wrong.

Clearly the Touts getting county end tickets is a non starter.
No idea why Ironside (board member)? needed to continually deny this was a possibility
Had no idea that I could of obtained at least 3 tickets maybe more.
2 x ST
1x Trust
1 x Shareholder
Plus in another queue
1 x Middlesborough ticket.
I would of certainly obtained 3 and at least 1 Exile would of had a ticket.
Not happy at seeing old possibly infirm gents queing with walking sticks for hours in the rain plus at least 2 ladies with virtually new born children also queing
I believe it took a lot of persuasion for the office to allow them to stay warm until they got to the front of the queue.whilst fit supporters minded their places.
the 2 ladies did decline the offer.
we hear of the 80 year old coming over before ticket office opened saw the queue went home for a few hours came back to see shutters down
I know both Gavin & Colin have been informed
if we are lucky to get a plumb tie in the future I hope this never happens again.

Can I ask Loyalfoot to stop boring the pants of us all?
Can I aak AGB to basically man up and after mentioning "warriors" for the umpteenth time grow a pair and answer Pembs repeated question.
Simple name them ffs.

Finally after Saturday can the board really try and show us supporters a bit of openness as so often promised.
Keep it down to 3 or 4 Saturday then lets get back to the slim chance of the play offs.
same side tonight please as Saturday.
They have 4 sleeps to recover and we need 3 points tonight.
Last point I keep hearing why the Irish lad from Vills should be in the squad.
he has a 3 month injury and is just starting light work.
finally lets make sure the man responsible for 2 recent super goals Wayne Hatswell gets a decent contract as still not sorted I hear.

If you’d have bothered to read the full thread instead of interjecting with a deluge of waffling harps esq hyperbole then you would clearly see that I have not doubted SOME tickets may end up being for sale at inflated prices - posted this on the other thread several times also before it was removed.

However the claim put forward that hundreds upon hundreds would be in the hands of touts is totally unfounded and no evidence of it exists. As I have stated, I will stand corrected if the evidence of this is put forward.

There has been plenty of opportunity to back up these claims put forward, yet funnily enough none have been forthcoming except a report of 3 people on Facebook selling tickets.

If the conculsion you draw from all the information available in this and the other thread is that I'm a board member trying to cover up some kind of scandal then you need to get back in your box or get in the real world.

The evidence is quite clearly on the contrary to what Stan has been claiming - therefore I can conclude quite rationally that the continution of these claims are being made with malicious intent.

You don't have to be Columbo to work that out.

Ironsider wrote:I called Stan a liar, because he is and for the reasons outlined below.

Stan implied and stated that hundreds of tickets had fallen into the hands of touts because of an inadequate ticketing system.


Stan implied and stated that the tickets were openly for sale across ticketing websites or other means.

Stan could provide no evidence of either being true aside from the hear-say that 3 friends of friends on facebook were selling tickets.

Knowing that he was wrong, he went ahead with the slurs and then true to form pulls the 'poor old me' card when he's proved as being so.

His muddying of the waters since being proved wrong is somewhat smoke and mirrors that people should ignore.

The real facts, in that Stan was prepared to sprerad misinformation and lies without any evidence to attack the club is there to see.

That should tell you everything you need to know about the true intentions of Stan.

The end.

This isn't a sarcastic question, but you always say you know and speak to plenty of fans. Couldn't you have asked one of them.to queue for you, knowing your personal circumstances?
That is a genuine question, not some snide way of getting at you by the way.

Ironside

Before you go off on another rant aimed at me Frank (scored a cracking goal on Saturday by the way)
Try steadily reading my thread.
I agree there is nothing in the rumour of ticket touts getting County end tickets it just has not happened.
My thread states and I do believe you are a board member why keep on replying to Stan as its a no news event.
Now seriously if you think I am waffling regarding ladies and infirm county supporters standing in the rain for hours is hyperbole.
All I can say is You sir are a disgrace.
You clearly are not the brightest on here so just to confirm in Capitals.

THERE ARE NOT HUNDREDS OF TICKETS AVAILABLE TO TOUTS.

Now do you understand I F*****ing agree with you okay?
I totally 100% disagree with Stans views.

An apology would be nice .

Thanks Frank
