IS IT WORRYING ???

Are you f*cking special or something. I specficially said it isn't anything to do with money. I quite happily go through £150-£200 all in on an away day out. It's also a drop in the ocean to how much I gamble. We'll be on a train and at the away destination by 10am for a whole day in London, Manchester or wherever.

Not getting a taxi to South Mimms services to pick up a ticket. It's more of a principal thing as well as it was when I refused to go when we played them 1st game of the Championship a few years back. Why do we get this voucher exchange and they travel to us how they please.

The criteria to be eligible for a West Ham ticket was originally 3 aways, then dropped to 2 aways and today it is now open to all current season ticket holders and gold members.

I am genuinely surprised that we have not sold more tickets than we currently have, at a recent travel group meeting I stated that I believed we would sell our allocation for the first game regardless of the opposition.

Judging by sales so far it seems I am very wrong.

At this moment we have not sold 50% of our allocation.

Cardiff City are in the PL/top flight for the first time in 51 years.

Home crowds highest for over 40 years.

On Friday West Ham will want to know how many of our allocation we require. After the first 1,500 West Ham will sell us blocks of 500 at a time, which the club must purchase.

Last season we didn't sell out our allocation at games like Burnley, Hull, Boro, Birmingham, Leeds, Blackburn, Millwall, Charlton and Palace etc and at many of these games we were top of the league and ended up as our best season for 51 years.

So what are the reasons and is it worrying ??


Is it Premier League prices and are people saving for the top 6 teams ?

Is it a carryover from last season and the rebrand?

Is it the opposition?

Are we not as big a club as we think we are ?

First game sales look poor when in previous seasons we have always taken excellent support to our first away game regardless of the division?

Is it purely our fan base has changed and don't travel as much?

Can anyone think of a reason why our sales are slow and low ?

Which part of ''if it isn't the money....'' is confusing you then?

You get this voucher exchange because you are troublemakers and lead the list in international bans. You must earn respect and trust now at the top table, you don't get given it for nothing with the baggage you carry.

This is your first Premier League game, like I said we had people flying in from Australia at a cost of nearly $4000 to see Wigan so to travel to South Mimms sounds a bit ridiculous don't you think? especially with a reported 500,000 fans... or is that equally ridiculous do you think?

get your facts right before spouting usual crap! how many arrests did you have last season at home? if more than one your lot are worse than us! and whos to say people are not travelling from timbukto to see us? ffs this is our board concentrate on your apology of a club!

They had at least one arrest, because there was that lad arrested for racist abuse at a player.

Just checked my fats and I was spot on.

You have the most football bans in the whole of the UK.

They had at least one arrest, because there was that lad arrested for racist abuse at a player.

Who was later cleared.

The case was dropped as the cps couldnt be sure of a conviction.
If youre all happy that means 'cleared' then fair enough.

Tell you something that wasn't dropped though.... the banning order placed on a Cardiff fan for misbehaving at your away game last year. widely reported on here.

Good, if he can't behave, then he doesn't deserve to go.

Misbehaving how?

Misbehaving how?

Don't know, letting off smoke bombs throwing flares onto the pitch... something of that ilk.

Wow letting off a smoke bomb is as bad as racial abuse?

He didn't racially abuse anyone, he called Grant Holt fat. hence why it was dropped and isn't banned or charged in any way.

nice try.

Your vermin fan's are known for being racist and your slum of a city is well known for being racist.

Oh right?

You still lead the country in numbers of fans banned by quite some distance however, hence why you have restrictions travelling.

we don't

He was charged with abusing Bassong.
Which is comparable with throwing a smokebomb.

If you still live in 1970

No he wasn't. he was charged on suspicion of abusing Bassong, which he didn't. he was making a fat gesture to Holt. hence why charges were dropped.

and yes throwing an illegal smokebomb is far worse than calling someone whos fat.... fat.

After your post on here a few days back you are without doubt the biggest piece of vermin scum on here.
What home arrest figures have to do with away I have no idea. You seem to forget that when ever you have a big away game trouble follows you arsenal away, chelsea away Blackpool at wembley etc etc. You have the highest banning orders for a reason. Your thick neanderthal knuckle draggers cant behave.

I didn't see any trouble at Arsenal, or at wembley vs blackpool. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it you piece of filth!

Bollocks. That was his excuse afterwards. And you all know it.
