Take a look back through the injury update thread, I can't say but you will see what I did wrong, mention it again and I'm banned :shock:

I'm trying to work it out. My eldest was born in '98 and my first ST was 2+1 and she was pre-school. Must have been '02-ish?

Fastest finger first puts you in charge of your destiny Rooster? Really? Seriously?

With Ticketmaster? Honestly! :lol:
Think our first ST's may also have been purchased in 02-ish too.

Was def before we bought our house in 2004.

The first season tickets were for 1999-2000 season.

The "apocalypse" year!!! I suspect ST sales '00/01 were "brisk"! :lol:

Mine must have been '01 or '02, '03 at the very latest.
I had a couple of 00/01 and it was tough, the "apocalypse" word brings it all back !

Yes, I know, and like the car park, the waiting list for the premium stand, etc, is it unrealistic to expect that when we reach the 50% + 1 Ulster will then have a second tier of ST holders with lesser rights?

Personally, I don't care, I'm egalitarian enough to take my chances in a draw.
I would rather head in the direction of fastest finger on the ticket site than a draw, at least you feel that you are sort of in control of your ticket destiny
Nah! Prove you are a REAL supporter :stir:

First priority to Season Ticket holders that are also URSC members - that would push the supporters club membership up another wee bit :duck:
what about the expats?

sent from my crozier
What about them? :D
I'm not arguing -
I'm just explaining why I'm right

A lot of newbies here.

My first season ticket season was in the days pre the professional era.

It cost £5 then and entitled you to 1/2 interpros, Lancashire/Yorkshire, possibly a touring side and all the Cup Finals (including the Schools Cup.)
Sales of the tickets were not promoted and you had to almost twist the arm of the office staff to get one.

Excellent value indeed and some cash left to enjoy a beer in the bar below the grandstand.

It must be at least 30 years ago and renewed every year since..
Any idiot can face a crisis -it's day to day living that wears you out.

£5 sounds a bit steep! I think a yorks/lancs game was about 20p (although that would have been schoolboy). Maybe I'm remembering through rose tints. Summers were longer and drier then and you didn't have unblock your doors.
Can I come out from behind the sofa yet?

Not making much sense there KH! Take a deep breath and count to 10; then explain your problem.
