Title: Re: For Those Spending The Weekend At Leeds.
Post by: herthab on Friday, February 27, 2009, 11:16:34
It would make sense to get as many as possible sitting together. At least we could generate some noise.

I'm up for it.


Title: Re: For Those Spending The Weekend At Leeds.
Post by: reeves4england on Friday, February 27, 2009, 12:07:28
Have people bought tickets yet?

Would be good to get a group together incase they enforce allocated seating

Allocated seating for away games really pisses me off...

Title: Re: For Those Spending The Weekend At Leeds.
Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 10:08:55
I had an idea to save me having to leave the pub later (:D) I phoned the ticket office and they will allow me to book 8 tickets because we're going in a group.

So those who've shown an interest in going down this evening to collect tickets, I can book them today and pick them up on my way to The Merlin and you can pay me back.

They are:

Me
The wife
Herthab
Herthab's son
R4E
axs
Luci
Luci's other half (is he coming Luci?)

If anyone else is buying tickets, I'll let you know our seat numbers and you can get seats around us. That ok with everyone?



Title: Re: For Those Spending The Weekend At Leeds.
Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 10:14:55
I'll be ordering mine today on the phone, so a rough idea of your are would be cool as my missus is going shopping while i go to the game


Title: Re: For Those Spending The Weekend At Leeds.

Post by: Luci on Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 11:58:32
Sorry dude, had to get them early due to financing - however if anyone doesn't want to sit with you rabble then Ill swap and come sit near you.

I had to transfer some money between accounts so had to sort outgoings in advance otherwise I would have got them same time as you lot :(

Title: Re: For Those Spending The Weekend At Leeds.
Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 15:03:33
Sorry mate, all accounted for as long as axs and R4E haven't gone and already bought theirs as well. I don't know the seat numbers yet, I will do by about 5.15. Are you coming to The Merlin before you get your ticket?


Title: Re: For Those Spending The Weekend At Leeds.
Post by: jayohaitchenn on Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 15:16:54
Yes I suppose so. Also got a spare season ticket in the town end for tonight if anyone wants it?

Post by: Samdy Gray on Tuesday, March 3, 2009, 15:25:09
I'll be picking up the tickets en-route to The Merlin so I'll know the seat numbers then.

And Sonic was looking for a ticket.

I gave you a full hour and a half.

I wasn't having a dig in my post above anyway. It's my fault for not waiting for you to reply first before I went and bought them.

Well i'll be in the Merlin at some point. The first to come up to me with a pint gets the ticket for today.

Would have thought there would have been at least 1,000 there. The Carling Cup match at Elland Road is (I don't make too many granted) my favourite away trip experience, the feeling when Parkin made it 2-0 was unbelievable.
