    [Albion] Newcastle's slow ticket sales / new penalties for handing on tickets

    Of course it's comparable. It's a professional ball game with tribal support. It may be different, but it's certainly comparable. I accept that some people like the "two tribes at war" attitude and the hundreds of policemen and enforced segregation and risk of harm to those in the "wrong"...

    [Albion] Newcastle's slow ticket sales / new penalties for handing on tickets

    I went to a rugby league match Keighley v Barrow last week, and stood among a group of Barrow supporters - one of whom was wearing a Keighley shirt in tribute to Danny Jones who died on the pitch a few years ago - and we all had club colours and we all celebrated our own sides' tries. It's a...

    [Albion] Newcastle's slow ticket sales / new penalties for handing on tickets

    They tried this at Burnley a few years ago, but abandoned it when they realised how many tickets are legitimately shared. For example, two parents who aren't particularly interested but their children are, so the parents only get one adult ticket and take turns. For example, shift workers...
