@Mr_55p Exactly mate! It's a hobby ffs, as long as the person doing it is enjoying it, who gives a flying about some rules made up in someone else's head?!

This has honestly got to be the most boring debate on Twitter. Some will do it one way, some another, and some will do it completely differently again. Just do your own thing and let folk do theirs, for crying out loud. Nobody is right and nobody is wrong

A Bradford fan completed all 92 league grounds this weekend after Spurs v Forest—should it only count if you’ve watched your own club at each? I’m on about 70 with my team and the full 92 feels nearly impossible… thoughts?

@JoshB_HCAFC @secondtierpod It's £36 to £41 for home fans. Pretty much the same. & the £36 tickets are on the Kop, which has a worse view & worse facilities than the away end (not that I agree with those prices, 'cause I don't, but that's the scenario, & why it's slightly cheaper on the Kop).

Sheffield United charging £38 for an adult ticket for the visit of Hull next month 😳 £30 for senior, £24 for a young adult. Good grief, can we all agree this is too much?

@Paul_Whincup @secondtierpod Should be a cap like in the Prem, £30 max for away tickets in EFL (probably should be £25, but £30 would be fair enough for Championship). Problem is, there's that much money in the Prem that they can absorb the 'lost' revenue much easier.

@secondtierpod I have only seen one Sheffield United fan defend this pricing, and that is here in these very comments. Until now each SU fan has come out and called this out. I would like to extend my gratitude and appreciation for the majority of SU fans. Thanks you have been class.

@AshbourneJEA @SUFCServices To be fair, it's always on the website at least the day before they go on sale, so I just check website every day when I'm waiting for the ticket news. Obviously they should tweet it at same time instead of 2 days later, but website is always best place to check.

@FLC1889 @SUFCServices Yeah I get that, but still, like QPR for example - that sold out within 24 hours. Either way, 75% of the time this account issues ticket info way too late.

@SUFCServices You need to be better at this. Tickets went on sale yesterday, and have now ‘sold out’ yet you are informing fans about details over 24 hours after they go on sale. This happens all the time. Let us know about the tickets BEFORE they go on sale. It’s really simple.

@Ojbb_ @kevg1889 Tanganga kicked the ball into the advertising boards, it's bounced back & accidentally bounced straight into a Cov player. Cov player not impressed, Tanganga saying it was accident (which it was). Handbags really.

@kevg1889 Tanganga being a prick as per The cheer was because Mason Clarke pulled out man away and pulled him to the crowd to celebrate. No red given and non needed either tbh

What happened after final whistle? There was a ruckus with lots of players involved and a big cheer went up from their fans- we thought he’d sent one of ours off which wouldn’t have surprised us from that bent twat

@SordidaHenricus @henrywinter Yet it's actually much better than the really pointless & boring friendlies that the NL replaced. In many ways the NL is a series of glorified friendlies. But at least they have an element of competitiveness, & the intrigue of promotion/relegation.

@henrywinter It's nations league. Who cares? Pointless competition that just emphasises UEFA and FIFA's obsession with more meaningless matches for more sponsor and TV money. It should be dropped.

@wobbs1962 @pfcleon @Pompey Thanks for the update. Hoping the pitch holds up....... no offence but Pompey away on a Saturday is much more preferable to Pompey away on a Tuesday!

@jep_draper @thecherries @henrywinter But there really isn't for situations like this. This is not the same as club football, or international tournaments, where touts operate freely & tickets change hands amongst fans.

@jep_draper @thecherries @henrywinter & 'having an English mate' really makes no difference! Have to be a vetted ESTC member to get away tickets. Away games like this are always oversubscribed for England fans, it's become really difficult for England fans to get tickets for away games, nevermind Croatians!

@jep_draper @thecherries @henrywinter Away tickets have to be collected in the host city with photo ID. No England fan is spending time & money to travel to an away game to collect their ticket, just to sell it on to a home fan. Also increasingly seeing ID checks at turnstiles to prove name on ticket matches ID.

@jep_draper @thecherries @henrywinter Away tickets for England games are only available through the travel club, so it would be virtually impossible for a Croatian to get a ticket in the away end

If Southampton & West Brom win in the FA Cup this weekend, any possibility of Norwich v Blades getting brought forward from Tuesday 10th March to Saturday 7th March?
