I am an Evertonian who has decided that he is not going to pay £50 plus to watch at pitch level stuck in a corner at Chelski.
I wanted to come to watch Latics however it seems impossible to get a ticket because I dont have a previous customer relationship. As usual the Wigan ticket office blame the GMP.

Can someone help me out?
now are you sure your not from the midlands ?, pay the £50 you tight harse git we don’t need you.
Much more plausible that he is an Everton fan who fancies watching a game somewhere (as I do often myself) and (as we do) doesn’t want to pay out a fortune at Chelsea. He might be tempted to come to more at the DW, but will now be put off by the remarks he’s had here.
Right – I’ve just Googled his real name (which I can see) and come across posts he’s made on other boards about Everton as an Everton supporter – and he has signed off as “Professional Man”.
Yes posted from the Wirral yesterday at work and I can assure you I am an Evertonian. As I clearly explained you need to have a customer relationship according to the ticket office to buy a ticket for the Aston Villa game – seems clubs are so obsessed by issues these days neutral supporters face issues going to a game on a wimp
Restrictions are imposed for tickets for matches against Man United, Man City, Liverpool and Everton.
Otherwise, restrictions are imposed when the away end sells out. This might happen for matches against Chelsea, Spurs and Newcastle, especially for a 3pm kick off on a Saturday.
This season, Bradford City fans bought all their tickets for the League Cup tie. They went home happy.

It’s this breach of the data protection act and, inappropiately, checking peoples’ IP addresses, that cheapen positions on media boards. It’s only a matter of time before someone challenges the legality of this practice.

Grow up and take this site for what it is a load of lads and lasses having the crack. The world has gone mad with all this PC stuff and its through cyber police like you that it has gone off the scale.
PS; I have never stopped crying since you called me a moron. I will not be able to go to work tomorrow with the state I’m in. I’ve made an appointment with my solicitor over my dreadful ordeal. George can you find the IP address for this slanderous villain please, my solicitor will be getting in touch. :angry:
I wasn’t going to reply to this thread, but it did strike me as strange that someone’s first posts on the site should be to warn off a moderator about legalities (incorrectly) and then call a long-standing member of the board a “moron”.
I will however reply, but hope this is the end of the discussion.
The DPA exists to prevent unwanted marketing and personal intrusion. In this case a poster was accused of not being who he claimed to be. I showed that he certainly was not posting from the Midlands as was claimed.
The Information Commissioner has ruled that IP addresses do not constitute personal information within the scope of the act, and therefore general information sourced from them ie approximate location (we are not talking address here, we are talking “Merseyside”) is within the law. How else do you get adverts that state “Hot dates in St Helens” – or is that just me? :blush:
As for going further. The OP (who has quite happily accepted I think that I am trying to help him – whether succesfully or not) provided even a moniker that can be Googled along with the word Everton to see if he appears on other sites related to Everton. He does.
There is no way I can confirm that the IP address and the stated identity match. All I can do is tell people that on balance I believe he is genuine – as equally I would warn people off if a really good Latics-related offer (maybe tickets, maybe merchandise) appeared which I could identify as coming from China or Russia.
We certainly cannot be bothered be doing this for all posters. Why would we? But in this case he was being accused of being a Villa fan. He isn’t.
Everything I posted is completely within the scope of the DPA. I won’t say why (because of DPA, you know), but I do know what I’m talking about.
