[LU] Mr Bates please can I have my goat back!

[Chris Briggs]

You know what gets my goat?

The opening of the Upper East that's what.

Here we are (well those of us that go) buying tickets regularly to come at 
watch some of the shite teams and performances that have occupied the 
hallowed turf at ER, we buy our tickets when they go on sale (*) in order to 
have a choice of where we sit.
Right I thought, last game of the season, best book online early doors 
(members days) as it is likely to be full, then what do they do when the 
tickets go on sale to the general public/glory hunters (delete as 
appropriate) they open up the only fucking stand my son has never sat in. 
Bastards. Will the ticket office back down and swap my SS ticket for an UE 
ticket, based on the logic that I am a member, have been to a shed load of 
games this season AND the tickets weren't offered to us loyal supporters, 
will they fuck.
All they have to say is "well, if you had of waited a while, there has been 
big response to tickets sales."
"Am I mystic meg, did I expect you to open another part of the ground, part 
of the ground that Papa Smurf said would not open this season because of 
safety certificates and additional rent. No, I am not, will you swap my 
tickets"
"No"
Bastards. I am not happy.


(*) I am not a ST holder 'cos I can only commit to about 60-75% of matches 
due to family / work, etc.
