Lets all go to the Lane!

WhiteWashMan

hmm, i know there is at least one season ticket holder here (who wants to donate their ticket to me every time he doesnt go ), and there always seems to be someone heading over for a match, so i figured, hey, why not just organise a meet up at some stage in the late season where we reckon we will all get tickets and have a some beer.

looking down the list of fixtures, im looking at march for the watford or reading games.
now, i know all the games are sold out, but it think theres more chance of getting tickets for these than say, the arsenal or chelsea match!

and to be honest, it would be nice to see match we might win

what thinks you lot?

Champion idea, and one we envisaged as part of this whole forum/club.

I've a ST, and sikes has 2. I've also got access to 2 club memberships, and could probably lay my hands on a couple more with a bit of digging, + mates ST if he's not able to make it, so getting tickets shouldn't be a problem.

Here's a list of all our games up to the end of December, the one's in bold I'm definitely going to (Arsenal is a "hopefully" definitely...:D )

Charlton at home on Dec 9th is a good option, it shoudn't be moved due to Euro ties, its a proper old school 3pm **** off Sky kick-off, plenty of time to soak in the atmosphere/up the lager, and allows folk time to get back to airports for the trip home.

C'mon people, the man asks a good question...what think ye?

Sorry, meant to add...

Home games from January onwards:

Home Sat 13th Jan Newcastle Premiership 15:00
Home Sat 3rd Feb Man Utd Premiership 15:00
Home Sat 24th Feb Bolton Premiership 15:00
Home Sat 17th Mar Watford Premiership 15:00

Home Mon 9th Apr Blackburn Premiership 15:00

Home Sun 13th May Man City Premiership 15:00

I'd advise against planning that far ahead though, European ties, Carling Cup and FA Cup ties, and Sky can all contribute to messing that fixture list around.

sounds like a plan, we have 2 season tickets and 4 memberships, however i am not sure how strict they are about others using the membership cards.

Not very TBH.

T&Cs say memberships are non-transferable, but in all my time going I've never been challenged to produce ID other than the membership card. Sure I used to book tickets on my uncle's card using my own credit card!

As long as the people using the cards behave themselves in the ground you're fine. They do need to present the card with their ticket at the stiles, but there's no photo ID on 'em yet so that's fine.
