Yep, I'll have a pair of invisible children with me. Seemed daft to pay £21 when adding an extra pair of kids tickets saved me £11.

Incidentally, if anyone reading this can make use of two kids tickets in the Tile Choice upper, PM me. Free to anyone who can make use of them.


I thought someone had said that they will be asking people to pay full whack if they turn up with a discounted ticket, but without kids in tow? I can see this getting messy, and the club getting stick from those abusing the offer. ;)


Quite right, if we don't sign Brandy, and Grigg I shall hold W.F.C_Rob totally responsible for cheating the club out of money :lol:

I can see there being a few problems, I thought about doing the same, but in the end it's easier just to pay full whack than end up in an argument (again)

We'll see what happens. If the club wanted to avoid the potential for people to 'exploit' their offer, they could have done so by making it adults for a tenner and kids for a quid.

You can buy my kids and I a drink and a pie to compensate the club for their loss. :idea:

Just got my tickets

Wasn't planning on going tomorrow, but I went on Monday and decided I've got to.. Managed to finish work earlier so I can come!

Win this and I think we will finish in the playoffs.

2-1 Walsall. They equalise in 86th sparking a mini pitch invasion, we win it in the 90th causing me to ejaculate

With regards people exploiting the offer by buying the offer without bringing the kids, whilst this is frustrating for the club as the idea is obviously to get the kids in unless they were clear at the time of purchase that attendance of the kids was compulsory and that the adult ticket can only be redeemed if the kids tickets are redeemed at the same time, then they have no right to refuse entry. As far as I have seen they have not made this a condition of sale and if they attempt to enforce it without doing so then they are in the wrong and it would be very, very bad PR and could have the opposite effect than what was meant

The club would be extremely foolish to try and deny entry in this way.

What I would say is if you have bought an offer ticket and don't have kids to take, then invite some, neighbours kids, friends kids or any other who's parents would be happy for you to take them. Why let them go to waste, you know what the offer was really there for so at least try to honour it or don't moan at the club if they don't do these sort of things again.

Most of all though, why cause yourself a potential argument that might spoil your own enjoyment if you can avoid it. So please do your best and let's just make it a great day for everyone.

3-1 Walsall

Stayaways to look forward to consuming several "rent free" pints in the Saddlers club, until FBIG cuts the satellite cable just before kick off.

This is what football is about - I can feel the anticipation coming on and can't wait to get there.

Nothing beats 3:00pm on a Saturday watching the results come in on Soccer Saturday.

Just a josh... i'll be there... me and my mate and a Sheff Utd fan infiltrating with us.

Interesting to note that United have replaced their suspended right back with a 34 year old left-footed centre half instead of Westlake.

Pato could fill his boots against the creaking Higginbotham today...

Purkiss in for J Chambers (illness or injury?) and no Grigg again, so obviously didn't pass the fitness test, but other than that, the expected team and bench.
