I was there mate. I know what happened. You can keep trying to protect the fed, but you know a load of boys ripped the absolute cunt out there fellow Arabs this morning.

Big game, big crowd, folk going into meltdown cos they can’t get tickets

It all leads to a complete pumping doesn’t it.

I’ve missed 3-4 games max this season, I watched us take 5 off Ayr on the day I buried my old man, I queued from 11pm last night, yet I have to watch at home while boys go on their annual day out to watch United cause they’ve got mates who put on a bus.

It fucking stinks. Mal Brannigan was pacing up and down Tannadice Street long before the shop opened. When he saw the amount of people standing in the queue, he should’ve put in place a maximum number of tickets per person, not waiting till they’re sold out to tell people “we’ll learn from this”.

 
What alot of pish

Fucking pish situation I’ll still go through to paisley and just watch in boozer! Hopefully beat the cunts and have a mad ane when we get home

https://www.dundeeunitedfc.co.uk/news/6085/STATEMENT-FROM-MAL-BRANNIGAN.html?utm_campaign=coschedule&utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=dundeeunitedfc&utm_content=STATEMENT FROM MAL BRANNIGAN %7C Dundee United Football Club

Personally never planning to go as didn't think I'd have any chance of getting a ticket as not a season ticket holder.  Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but the club should have limited the number of tickets per person to a sensible number - i.e. not more than a dozen say.
Queueing up all night for f all is not going to endear the club to people even if it is not really the club's fault.  Club's like Rangers and Celtic run ballots every week.  Given the ticket numbers were always going to be too low (even if it was a doon derby) we could have got this ballot thing sorted long ago.  having folk stand in the pishing rain for nothing is so not on.  Brannigan doesn't impress.

Edit: Sent this in before reading the statement.  Ballot of season ticket holders would have been the way to go.

If your going through to Paisley you may as well try your luck at the ground, it’s ticket scanners so I’d imagine 2 people will be able to get through the turnstiles with one ticket.

United could hardly alter their arrangements when Mal Brannigan saw the amount of people standing in the queue, that would then have been unfair on fans who were following the arrangements set in place.

Secondly, the boys who organise our bus are well trusted, well adjusted folk, who aren't doing it for self interest. I'd imagine other clubs are the same.

Finally, the vast majority, possibly 99% of the support in Paisley, will surely be fans who had vouchers, not boys on 'their annual day out'.

It's a huge annoyance when you've put the effort in supporting United and missed out, JD, and I get that, but there are more supporters missing the actual match than going. That would always be the case given the allocation, and that's not the club's fault.

No point in us falling out with each other over it. 
 

 
What’s more unfair? The cunts lying in their beds no giving a fuck, not getting a ticket cause plans were changed? Or the cunts who queued through the night in the pishing rain no getting tickets?

Ken what, whatever your thoughts are on the situation - this is probably the best comment Ive seen on it.

The club would have saved a lot more face limiting tickets and ensuring the bulk of the people in the queue got them, than doing what they did.

My son was there fae midnight and was yards from the door when they sold out
...a good pal of his was 10-15 in front and got his tickets...hindsight is a wonderful thing but if my young lad was a bit more savvy, he could have just passed his mate his voucher and fucked off back to bed.  Would that have been wrong?

Don’t agree folks I think a ballot has quite a few flaws. I go with my family and there is only 2 adults and then 3 kids. Say the 3 wee ones get drawn but neither of the adults do. How are the kids supposed to go on their own.

I still think a loyalty points system works the best and I’m glad to see Mal Brannigan looking into it.
