May I repeat, my mate was told they had sent some back.
Second hand info. I know, but I have no reason to dis-believe him.We sent some back? We got to around 650 and they were pulled from sale. Then I assume to club asked for and got more tickets from WBA. They went on sale and we are now around 900.
We originally only asked for 600. Once they sold we asked for and receiving an extra allocation. Not sure what the total stands at.
I guess we have different views on what the word ‘afford’ actually means.
I am talking in the literal sense of if you can’t spare £50 for x football match then £200 for y football match surely seems out of the question.
There is a difference between literally not having the cash, and having the cash but having other priorities that while £50 wouldn’t kill, they would put additional strain on that some people are wary to do.
I will reiterate once more. I am complaint about the apathetic nature of our fanbase. People like you and griff erronesously and bizarrely thought this was about finances and I am only responding in kind.
Next time I get paid is 10th of may just before the cup final I will have just enough for the Swansea Match having paid out for Wembley and travel plus paid bills .So in short get te feck
You do realise that you are arguing with a fictional argument that Griff made up?
I’d rather have both ;)
In all seriousness, I said before the semi I wanted to win that and stay up. I was more excited by getting to Europe. I wouldn’t say no to winning the final, but right now I know I’d celebrate a last minute winner to stay up against Villa more than a last minute cup winner.
What ever will be will be ;)
So much for your last post on this.
It was a forlorn hint for you to drop it[/quote]
You were more than welcome to do so yourself, but as I was and am breaking no rules I see no reason why I should stop it.
You aren’t my mum after all, I’ve never been given pocket money from you ;)
You have made several assumptions about my financial situation, such as receiving pocket money from my mam. Tongue in cheek or not they are assumptions. At the same time you accused me of make assumptions about people’s finances because I wish our fans weren’t so apathetic.
That is hypocrisy.
I may have made assumptions about your financial situation. I had to, as I had no information.
You, however, were given actual financial reasons from three different people as to why they chose Wembley over West Brom and you still had the arrogance to tell them how to run their lives.
That is nothing to do with hypocrisy. I hope you didn’t take English and Finance at college.[/quote]
I didn’t tell anyone how to run their lives. I’m talking about our fanbase at large, and a generic unnamed person who can afford Wembley. Just because I reply to somebody’s post, does not mean the contents of my next post refer explicitly to the quoted poster.
So much for your last post on this.
Watford to go up automatically
Hull or Bowtun to win the playoffsMy feelings on Bolton depend entirely on our performance. If we stay in I really want Bolton to go up, we go down and I hope they get battered.
Love the derby, it was starting to gain a bit of momentum in terms of an actual rivalry in the last few years.

To clarify for people who find following a conservation difficult.
I made a post complaining about the apathetic nature of our fanbase, whilst acknowledging the expensive past few weeks.
People with poor comprehension skills thought I was attacking people on the basis of their personal finances. What I was actually doing was making a general comment about our fanbase, and the apathy we often show.
Perhaps I should not have responded to those who completely misunderstood my post. But when somebody says that because they spent £1000 on Wembley, they can’t afford £50 for WBA I felt compelled to state my opinion that that is complete BS.
But its my choice what I spend the last of my money on after the mortgage car insurance bills food etc.
You might have to explain those items a bit more fully for a fiduciary-challenged friend ;)[/quote]
Funny that you (wrongly) accuse me of second guessing people’s circumstances, but are more than happy to make assumptions about me based on my age.
I guess the word hypocrite doesn’t appear in your book.[/quote]
You are guessing about people’s circumstances.
I was guessing about your age based on your user name – was I close?
You have demonstrated a complete lack of understanding about real world financial arrangements.
No hypocrisy from me.[/quote]
You are also guessing that my financial situation because of my age, whilst at the same time accusing me of guessing about people’s financial situation. Hypocrisy.
Apparently, 23 year olds can’t have a mortgage, rent, bills, food etc. to pay. Although I’m not actually 23.

Read my opening post first. My problem with those who can’t be bothered to go. I didn’t say,” I hate all those poor people who can’t afford to go.” I dislike the number of fans we have who don’t really seem to bothered about supporting the club.
I refuse to believe we only have 1000 fans who can spare £50 to go to the WBA game.
I never brought finances in to the discussion, beyond saying I know the last few weeks have been tough on latics fans wallets.
I simply stated my expectation that we would sell much more tickets than we have.
Other people chose to bring finances in to it. Not me. I responded to people who said Wembley makes it impossible to go to any other games.
Please read the whole discussion first before attacking my posts. This is not about me slating people about their finances. This is me stating my surprise at the limited ticket sales.
