    Cardiff riots

    Indeed, and at the point the boys crashed the police van was on an entirely different road. Plus, maybe I'm getting old and grumpy, but to my mind the police were entirely entitled to pursue them more forcefully in any case. They were quite clearly breaking the law and it is the police's job...

    Cardiff riots

    Hmm. Clearly she didn't think that letting her son tool about illegally on an £4k electric MX bike (that's an electric motorcycle, not an e-bike, big difference in speed, and licence, tax, helmet, and insurance required!), without any protective gear, might have in some way have a played a...

    Good advice mate. In truth I'd have happily taken anything but the filter didn't populate, just the map. Like I say, I suspect the map simply wasn't up-to-date and was showing tickets that had already sold.

    No joy. Got through to the page with the blue dots and was very excited, but every time I added a seat it popped up and said it wasn't available. After the 500th attempt or so, I gave up. I'm guessing they were actually sold before I arrived. Just teasing, I suppose!

    Queuing system at Coventry Rail Station for Wembley.

    Good strategy. Edinburgh Waverley, if you actually want a seat though. :)

    By the time I wrote it I was already in the queue - unfortunately at 1052!

    Cheers Torchy, in truth I've been fairly placid about the idea of getting a ticket. I'm entirely happy to accept that there are plenty more deserving than me these days, and I've been to Wembley four times now with City, so sitting one out won't kill me. If I can get one, I'll go though. :)

    So, I'm on there right now - no queue, but no tickets for sale yet (obviously). Question: Do I stay logged on and just keep refreshing, or should I wait for the queue to start? I've got various machines and browsers available this time, if it helps!

    COV RFC 2022 - 2023

    That's a proper high-level signing. Kvesic should be one of the best players in the second tier, imho. God knows what sort of state the Championship will be in next season, given the RFU's incompetence (redundancy alert!), but you'd fancy Cov will be near the top of it again...

    OK, fair enough, but I still think that's going to be a pretty small group of people. I think the only thing I would do, if I was at CCFC, would be to put a mechanism in place for people to convert their ticket stubs to points or something along those lines. I'm still of the opinion that you...

    I'm sorry mate, but what's your point? I've explained why some people walk up. We've agreed, I think, that no one would have seen Cov being here at the start of the season. Calling people 'silly' is a bit juvenile. As explained here and on the thread there are lots of different reasons why...

    I'm not complaining, but for some people it's just easier and more convenient to walk up if you're free on a Saturday afternoon and fancy catching a game. Maybe you're too young to remember, but for a long time that's what almost everyone did. I wouldn't want to discourage any fan from doing...

    Spot on. No real issue with how the club have allocated tickets, but there's plenty of reasons why "proper fans" don't necessarily accumulate loyalty points. We don't need to go down the road of "who's a true fan?". It's divisive and unnecessary and ultimately pointless. If we weren't in some...

    People who don't go very often. People who live abroad (and don't go very often). People who pay on the gate. People who get others to buy tickets for them. People who share ticket purchases across the family or friends. People who buy from the ticket office. So yeah, a fair few I'd think.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    I'm sticking with my line that most City fans are OK, but some are complete arseholes. Maton proves the point, if you catch my drift. 😄

    Ah, that's interesting, thanks. Still wouldn't be there on the tickets I bought, but I'd be over on the games I'd been to. Serves me right for being a bit lazy and letting my mates sort it. 😁 Pity, I would've loved a seat on the half way line, just to piss @shmmeee off. 😄

    Cheers, yep, it's definitely showing zero, yet it's got my purchase history. Is it a set number of points per ticket?

    Final Tickets Thread. Yessss

    I've bought tickets this season online, that I can see in my history, but I can't see that I've got any points. Can anyone explain how the points thing works? In all honesty I doubt I'd have enough anyway, but I thought I'd have some...
