A day out at the beach with an orange theme, anyone? Bennett's idea and I think it's top notch.

All on the Stratton Bank - only a fiver a ticket - and wear our beachwear, be it our speedos (Alan) or our swimming goggles. I'm going to don a knitted jumper and a handkerchief on my head, oldskool style.

Wear the usual orange garb and we can celebrate promotion in style.

What do people reckon?

p.s. does anyone have inflatable beach stuff, like a rubber dinghy or something?  :D

Thats ace.
I'll try and get some inflatable balls.

Has some slag got me tickets yet?  :mrgreen:

I'm going into Town to get em on Monday you impatient cunt

job lot on the orange anyone?

hahahahaha not impatient just wanted to know what was going on otherwise i would have had to get someone else to get them.

nah don't worry I'll get 'em on Monday. I'll have one spare if anyone you know needs one

Can you buy tickets for the Bank on the day?

Ace idea Bennett.

I'll get the missus to come in her bikini  :P

I'll have one.

right you are boss!  8)

But you won't catch me in speedo's!!  :mrgreen:

Sonic, I've got seats T93 and T94 if you want to try and get seats around there.

I was looking for beachballs and stuff and came across this, it looks remarkably like our favourite greek.

Nope,  you have to go to ticket office first so they can take out the stub from your season ticket and put your seat back on sale. Or if you're not a season ticket holder hand over shrewsbury and torquay ticket stubs.

obvious joke alert-

i'll make her come out of her bikini

Cheers, what if you dont have neither :D.
Ive got my ticket but a few mates fancy coming?

Just been in the Toy Shop.
Beach balls 75p, will be getting a few :)
There not footballs just normal beach balls.
:D

Can you keep one for me please James?
Love the beach party idea....ace.

Millom

Rob T just phoned me - he asked if anybody has not got their tickets for the Bank yet - his whole family want to go (including Zebedee) for a family party.

So if you haven't and you have a season ticket then he needs six  :shock:

Can anybody help?

OS doesn't say. Reading it again it sounds as if you can only go on the Bank if you're a ST holder or have stubs from Shrewsbury and Torquay.

Seems a bit unfair.

Ill give them a ring on Monday

Not got a spare Millom, sorry. You'll get one somehow I'm sure 8)

I've got to pop into the club on Monday to get the tickets, so I'll ask if non-season ticket holders can get tickets on the day. I'd imagine they'll make some available, it'd be daft of them not to.

Beachballs are a top idea, anything that's remotely beachlike would be superb. Next weekend is going to be FUCKING BRILLIANT.

We need GIANT beachballs. I've seen some about 3ft in diameter.

Cheers Sonic :wink:

If people are after the £5 tickets, me and Nic can still get six with our season tickets.

Whats the forecast for next weekend?
Anyone know?

the bank sounds awful tempting....plus it will be easier to get on the pitch at full time  :wink:

Snow.

Cheers mate

sunny then  :beers:

Who's bringing the BBQ?  8)

I'll bring the sausages.

If your donning the flip-flops Al.....white socks are a fashion no-no mate
 :wink:
 :soapy tit wank:

Flip flops, shades, bermuda shorts and a fat willys t-shirt i think. if i can find it all.

Im gonna try and dig out my li-lo.

This will be the most acest day ever.

Is it orange like this?

http://www.fatwillyssurfshack.co.uk/shop2/images/large/tshirts_all/Orange_LRG.jpg

At £6.99, I might order one  8)

How quick do they come? Im feeling a job lot order for everyone? ha ha.

7-10 days.

There go's that idea then!

They'll probably ship 'em quicker if you phone them up. They're based in Cornwall.

i dont get paid till thursday  :(

Just mention Diamandis' name in Cornwall and why you want an orange tee shirt and not only will you get them quicker you may even get a discount!  They hate him down there after his asset stripping antics at a large printing works down there.  Lots of guys made redundant after certain promises were given the week before!

Why don't you just go into any shop that sell's men clothes in Town? im pretty sure most stock those kind of shirts.

Whereabouts on the bank are you sitting? Is Jim going? I may phone up monday and get my ticket for there instead.

H64
Well he hasn't got his ticket that I know of, just me and Tom at the moment.

You're so excitable! I was considering the stratton bank but now you lot plan to turn it into a gay baywatch meets revenge of the nerds, I think I'll avoid.

youd best avoid me then im wearing an orange floppy cricket hat :king:

Why don't you just go out and join the conservative party!

Good man.

 8)

The board are in talks with the club, they've sent an NDA, can't we just wear RED and support the boys on a day which will (hopefully) end with promotion??Maybe?
Orange isnt my colour anyway :D

No. Sending an NDA is completely different from signing one.

Or getting on with negotiations.

Anyway, your tan looks a bit orange anyway Sade?

Thats it, you wait  :D  My tan is oh so natural thank you very much. Although I look very pastey at the moment,I am knackered after today.
Anyway enough of your orange shizzle do what you want, I am painting myself red.

Are you going to the Mansfield game in just your body paint?  :P

No I bloody aint as that wouldn't be pretty. Tails is though apparently.

Tails keeps telling us about how nice your body is and it's "oh so lickable".

Time to get it out for the lads I think.

I concur :nod:

Does this mean I can dig out my Flintstones Bermuda shorts and Wallabies combo!?! 8)  8)  8)

You're a queer.

'ere he is Hasselhoff Red. Anyways I'm surprised that bennett would come up with such a beach themed idea. I thought he was riding a dark cloud of heavy metal thunder not a fucking inflatable banana! Turning football into a radio 1 roadshow.....that's queer.

We could dress as zombies instead if you like?

i'm good for zombies as well....as long as we get to play dress up i'm happy  8)

i'm with spacey on this one. what a strange idea.

personally i think i will sit on the fence with this one, however anyone dressed in beach gear has to be a right cunt.

Mex, sit on the fence?  Don't do a Maverick on us!

whoosh

We definitely need an 'over the top of the head' smilie on here.  :D

I second that  :D

Pool party at football match = Ubergay.

That is all.

I think I might be going to this  :o

None of this beach wear sillyness for me though, I'm much to sensible  :soapy tit wank:

I'm going as James Bond unless i can shower somewhere after the game  :D

I've already got 4 tickets for the bank on saturday but now my old man says he wants to come along, does anyone know if the club are being tight on this 4 tickets rule or not?

£15 a pop on the day which seems a tad expensive.

same as town end, whats the prob?

:old:

just thought it would of been a little cheaper. (maybe I hoped so that less money goes to you know who).

Well it might rain?

Fair points, I think the town end will be full still.

Ah, £15 eh?  Has anyone got a spare Stratton Bank ticket for a fiver then?  Cheeky, but if you don't ask.

could well do mate, if you're in the county before the game give us a shout and i'll probs have one for you.

BANK NOW SOLD OUT !

 :shock:


 :beers:

Fucking Ace !

No way?!

The banks gonna be full but the rest of the ground empty!!

Don't believe it though we'd sold 1300 earlier today we won't have shifted 700-1000 tickets that quickly!

well considering the deadline for the cheap tickets was tomorrow then there could have been a late rush  :D

Where did you get that from, Andy???

 :shock:

I've got to get Rob a couple of tickets tomorrow.  :(

surely not :shock:

shit, I had to get my mates some tickets tomorrow. I hope they can give me some townend tickets for £5.

I ve got a couple of tickets for the stratton babk if any one is stuck.

I might need those, Hex. If Fred isn't on a wind up. First dibs?

I heard the town end is close to selling out too  :shock:

Ive also heard abot Stratton Bank today

600 tickets left, apparently.

Sorry if this sounds a bit dumb, but does the whole 'a season ticket holder can buy 4 tickets for 5 quid each' only count for the Stratton Bank? Or does it mean the season ticket holder can get 4 for 5 quid each for any stand?

I apologise if this has been covered.

 :thumbs:

Whats that for?

I picked up my tickets (5) at 10:00 this morning and was told that were less than 600 and would probably be gone by the end of today.

No bank only.

It would be a good gesture that if the bank sold out, then they would allow tickets to be bought in the townend for £5.

the bank had better not be sold out, i ent got my tickets yet  :(

You've had ages to get them to be fair.

Cheers buddy  :wink:

i know, my own fault i suppose. does anyone know if its official though, the ticket office men do tend to exaggerate

With this offer does the season ticket holder themselves have to actually go on the bank.do they take your ticket for the match out the book or anything

They took my ticket from the book and replaced it with a normal matchday ticket.

You can go on the bank IF YOU WANT for free but have to book a ticket, otherwise just sit in your normal seat and get tickets on the bank for others

Im confused now :?  so if my mate in the arkells does not want to sit on the bank but just sit in his normal seat can he still get tickets on the stratton bank for others

Yes. Although the ticket office staff will take the "match 22" stub out of his season ticket book and print out a regular ticket for the same seat. That way they stop people going back and buying more than 4.

Thanks arnold

Yep first dibs.
But if it aint sold out and you dont need them lets us know, so then i can try and see if any one else wants to buy them.

Thanks friend. Will do shortly after 9am tomorrow.

 :thumbs:

i'll be in the town end, can you lot who are going in the bank make some noise - would be ace to hear chants coming from another stand aswell as the townend

I think the idea is to direct some "who are ya?" chants in that direction  :wink:

and we could sing 'goin' up to each other - especially if MKdicks are losing at half time! followed by a 'so are we' from the other end!

I vote we do a joint 'wave' ala Pompey when they had both ends.

better not be sold out off down the office first thing  :|

Just picked up two more tickets from the Ticket Office.

There were about twenty left  :shock:

And that's for all of the Bank, including the section that is usually netted off.

Hexagon - I forgot to get Derby a ticket, please can I take you up on your kind offer and have one of your spares? Thank you.

'were the town end were the town end were the town end over ere'

'were the stratton bank, were the stratton bank, were the stratton bank over ere'

That will be ace if that gets started! Then get the north and shrivvy road involved too.

Old Skool  8)

shit the town ends going to be half empty!!

8 left when i got mine, had the sold out signs ready to go, so theyre probably all gone by the time ive got home

Is it just sit anywhere on the bank?

that would be ace since ive probably got some scummy tickets but i doubt it  :(

last time they opened the bank I don't think the seats were numbered so I assume it will be the same this time - better get there early!!

My tickets have a seat number on, so yes you should really sit in your seat.

No one will though, I'm going to stand under the clock. Old skool.

lets hope sturrocks sprucing up of the place didnt involve getting some sticky numbers

Can you hear us at the back ??????

See you in the CGH Samuel

 8)

See you there Andrew.

My bopard mate 'forgot' to buy our tickets. I might just stay in the pub now. fB will be happy.

If they are numbered I'll be at one end and my mrs will be at the other.  :mrgreen:

Damn I left it too late - can't believe the Bank sold out! .. oh well Ill be up in the Nationwide with the pook flag after all!

Huzzah!

The seats are allocated.. I don't have a clue where abouts in the Bank I am though!

i might not be able to make it now WOMEN!!!!  :evil:

right! has anyone got a spare ticket for this? coz Pieman's mate was meant to get them for us but didn't. so if anyone has a spare could you please let me know? ta!

Loads of people are saying they won't go because they didn't get Bank tickets...

Stop being a cheapskate and sit in the town end, they'll be plenty of space!

It's probably cheaper for me to go in the townend than sit in the pub  :wink:

Yep sure if you want to arrange to meet at the CGH before the game or some where that be fine?



Still got one spare if you still need one?

Especially with all the pints you are going to buy me.

Poor misguided Benjamin.

I might be going after all though. Might be borrowing someone's season ticket. Will know what's happening by tonight though

yes please mate! meet me at the CGH before the game! cheers dude  8)

Cheers!

Yep, CGH before the match is great. I'll get Derby to buy the ticket off you directly and get you a pint. My mobile's 07765 411 604. Hopefully we will be in the garden.

Ok cool. I'll PM you both my mobile number.
Should be in the CGH from about 1:30.

cheers Hexagon!  :D  8)

Can't wait for this one.  8) Haven't been this excited about a game for ages.

i hope everyone has been buying beach wear!

its sold out now, so if anyone has one spare let me know,

if not is anyone sitting in arkels at all?

Stay in the pub. You know it makes sense

Chubbs, i got a spare 1

No. Andy.

I won't be on the bank but i'll be wearing shorts, Town shirt and sunglasses.

I am Seb, With Gianluca on my tod as usual! So if you dont get a ticket come find me!

Swindon Shirt, 3/4 quater length, flip flops and suncream. I am in the bank ralph. See you in the winners.

Not wearing shorts then Scot?

Is your dad?  :D

don't know about my dad, Ralph, he does not look good in shorts i will tell you that. I prefer 3/4 quater lengths. Plus i have good looking legs. I have been told that.

I'm glad about that Scot  :fag:

Your dad should wear a knotted hankie and string vest.

He can be Rab C Nesbitt  :mrgreen:

He has not got the string vest. Just told me.

Damm it.

I'm getting in the winners earlier on saturday cos it's gonna be rammed.

The CGH is the place to be for pre game beverage this Saturday.  8)

Nah, my old man likes the winners. He's old and stuck in his ways.

I'll be on the Bank but not with any of this beach shit though.

Agreed.  8)

Spuddy, one day i'll finally meet you.

Ghey.

booo.... beachwear will be fun!

we're trying to make the most of the weather (hopefully) and the lack of roof and the fact we might get promoted saturday

and the fact we don't have a "gimmick" other than being fickle cocks that barely turn up for half the games in a season

 :hide:

A TUMDFC forum visit is required by those of you registered.

I need some volunteers for tomorrow.

Who by ?

Stevie fucking Wonder ?

That is possible the Gayest comment in the history of the TEF.

Probably his Mum or his Nan  :)

anyone got 2 £5 tickets going would be happy to take them from your hands + buy you a pint :)

Scot, who told you that you have good legs?  :mrgreen:

I just need another 1 Stratton Bank ticket for a mate of mine.

Anybody?  :|

 :shrug:  :guinness:

I agree with Sam, it must have been Mummy

I'll ask him today.
