Can anyone tell me how no one picks up the thousands of empty seats at the Emirates, which are all counted as attending.


Is this like Man Ure and the dead season ticket holders


Whilst this question is grounded in vitriol I would still like to know why so many people pay money but don't turn up for the lesser matches.

You'd think so more if his manager was a United hero, oh wait a minute- who did Steve Bruce play for?

I understand are England being told that they can't wear embroidered poppies on their shirts as they have political associations. Is this the same body that allowed a fascist dictator to present the World Cup back in 1978?


...listening to Danny Kelly on Talksport last night were you? :)

Danny who?

A repeat of my earlier question:

Because they can afford it? Dunno I'm guessing. Why does it bother you so much.

Not read that link, but I suspect some people with a lot of cash will buy the season ticket as a kind of status symbol, and will go to the matches that get them excited (Man U, Spurs, Man City, Chelsea, Liverpool), but won't bother with the rest, because they can watch highlights on MOTD.


Not really huge footy supporters, but people who like the game, and can afford to be picky.


I'm sure you get this at most clubs, especially the "big" clubs.

just like Ashley renaming St James Park this week. Way of the word innit?


What a tool he is for this . Sports Direct Arena my arse. "I love Newcastle football club" - my arse


One day "the way of the world" will differ, and I will have no sympathy for people like that

Nor me, but I'm afraid it will get a lot worse before it gets better. I believe the football bubble will burst, but while clubs charge, and get paid, exorbitant prices, what's likely to change?

It bothers me for a number of reasons:


(a) These are season ticket holders that can't be bothered to attend, but don't pass them onto others.

(b) That Arsenal unlike the other 'big teams' seem to attract these type of fair weather supporters (clearly it isn't a money issue as they can afford season tickets in the first place, or they would make an attempt to resell the tickets on one of the authorised spiv sites).

© that they report attendances as at capacity when they are 10% or so below

(d) That I can't find anything on the web on this, where I would expect to find other people with similar gripes so I could feed that I had the moral high ground.


I suspect that it was the creation of a strong brand, and the sudden increase in capacity by over 20,000 that led to a new class of supporter who do not have the same loyalty as in the past.


But on the positive side, no sign, absolutely no indication, of any trouble when you go there as an away fan.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
