Any Yorkshire Based Gooners here?

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Any Yorkshire Based Gooners here?

Post by gunner_ace »

Are their any Yorkshire based Gooners knocking about on this forum other then me?

I have just been appointed (self) recruitment officer for the Yorkshire Arsenal Supporters Club (YASC) and would be interested to hear from any Yorkshire based gooners who may be interested in joining.

We run a 50 seater coach down to most home games picking up from Leeds, Ferrybridge (just by the M62 / A1 intersection) and Doncaster. Also as we are an official affiliated club we get guaranteed seating in the lower tier clock end right by the away fans , which if anyone else who sits near there can testify is always a pretty lively part of the stadium. The seats are cheaper also as opposed to the upper tiers.

So if you are Yorkshire based but haven’t been able to game to any games due to cost or not knowing anyone to go with, then please give me a shout and ill get you signed up. For a normal category B game it works out at roughly £65 all in for travel and ticket, and you can’t say fairer then that.

PM me your details for a chat

Me and my Dad are both in the YASC and travel to games when we can. I'm based in Leeds but my Dad (and me) are originally from Halifax

Is trumpton real? I thought it was a made up place serving the needs of an early 90's Rave classic.

Ignore that superfan horseshit. I've met plenty of fucking fairweather and part time fans from Islington. Once had a lad asking why non-local fans supported Arsenal and didn't support their "local" team - and he was from a part of Enfield closer to Shite Fart Lane than to Highbury! :oops: :lol:

Scunthorpe here but plenty of locals refer to themselves as Yorkshire. No plans on going to league games though!

You get fair weather fans anywhere, how many fans over the last 10 years will have ditched Arsenal from outside London to support City or even United, now they are competing for trophies again? A lot more than in Islington I suspect.

Being closer to Shiite Hart Lane is irrelevant, and I am sure your just being a nob MOD as usual, where I live is just round the a406 from spud territory yet there are far more gooners here close to the Piccadilly line that have followed Arsenal for decades. Pretty obvious where you are coming from tbh.

The principle of supporters club is fair enough, the ticketing priority Arsenal give these clubs especially for away games is wrong. How can a fan that goes to 5 games through a supporters club, a season get priority ticketing for an away game that a gold member needs to have 10 or more away credits. By way of example 17 years ago any gold member could get a ticket for Sunderland away, yet last season you needed 20 credits to stand a chance for the same game. It’s not even the equivalent of a cat A away game. I would love to see a breakdown of tickets that go to these clubs for away games. For sure it’s at the expense of gold and even silver members that go to a lot of games each season.
