If you know it's "fewer lists", you should also know it's "fewer people"! Fair cop.
Never did get to grips with that. More googling definitions / correct usage for me.

"However, many Tottenham fans point to the fact that north London is Spurs' turf and that Arsenal only moved to the area in 1913 from their original Woolwich home." Wonderful! only 104 years ago! The First World War hadn't even happened, Russia was still a Tsarist empire and Ireland was still part of the UK. So?! It's a bit like your club moving miles away, changing its name a little and claiming the new area as your manor. Spurstone. I already gave a reply on this. That is what he wanted and I was happy to supply. A winner all round. His comment wasn't aimed at Spurs fans.

You've had it now, pedant. You've awoken, HS, after ragdolling him over 'result'.

So an all-ticket affair, not unexpected, I did hear that Gillingham had already sold their 600, hopefully a good turn out. Tickets for the Kent Reliance Senior Cup match against Gillingham will be on sale from Monday.Tickets for the Kent Reliance Senior Cup match against Gillingham will be on sale from Monday. The quarter final fixture on Tuesday 12 December will be all-ticket and sales times are as follows: Monday 27 November: 10:00 to 20:00 (Season ticket holders) Tuesday 28 November: 10:00 to 20:00 (Season ticket holders) Wednesday 29 November: 10:00 to 22:00 (Fan Club members) Thursday 30 November: 10:00 to 18:30 (General sale) Friday 1 December: 10:00 to 17:00 (General sale) Tickets are priced at Adults: £10 Concessions: £5 Youth (11 to 16 years): £5 Junior (Under 11): Free* when accompanied with a paying adult Seat transfers: £2 (main stand season ticket holders will have Monday and Tuesday to secure their seat. Remaining seats will go on sale to fan club members on Wednesday and then general sale after that). The match is subject to neither team having an FA Cup replay that evening. In the event the date is changed, tickets will be carried over to the new date. Anyone unable to make that will be given a refund. If this "Tickets for the Kent Reliance Senior Cup match against Gillingham will be on sale from Monday." is true why does my ticket that I bought last night, have "Kent FA Senior Trophy" printed on it?
Have I missed something again?

Friendship? A life? The point of existence? I don't know. Tell me the answer. Probably all the above - and so much more.
But that doesn't help with why the ticket has Senior Trophy printed on it.

I think we need a scale of trueness for supporters. Points could be awarded for: Date first started watching Stones Regular attendance home Frequent attendance away Furthest ever travelled for away game Supporter of both the 'original' version and today's club Supported Stones during whole of Wilderness Years Supported Stones during some of Wilderness Years Actually coming to home games Strangely, I do quite well out of that (ah hem) randomly chosen list. But I lose points on not following Stones during the WY and not being able to go to most aways these days. On those criteria, Big Mick would take some beating. I heard he once travelled to a 0-0 draw at Altrincham... from Reykjavik.

I think the criteria is unfairly skewed towards the old brigade (as per usual) gives younger fans no chance at all of being labelled 'true supporters' much better to agree a more modern criteria that eradicates the pre Gallagher era

In my opinion it makes no difference if you have been a supporter since the year dot or since yesterday, it,s more important how long you remain a supporter for.

except that probably skews the criteria too much in favour of young supporters
