He ought to post on here - he'd fit right in.

[Kieron]

Brilliant

[FZR400RRSP]

What a tube.

[Fowl]

600,000 views on their site. It's been everywhere

[DJT75]

classic

[RMCF]

To be honest its 12 pages long and I couldn't be bothered to read it all.

Anyone want to post a 1 line summary?

For some reason, he enquired about his own seat, which came up on their system as 'sold' (of course) and he bought another ticket instead.

Same. 12 pages of football talk is 12 pages too much for me.

[Mr Noble]

Poor fella but you can't help laughing

It's only linked to football, it's not football talk.
It's about sheer stupidity.

[mjn]

What a donut!

[CraigofScotland]

I bet he also reads the daily mail.

The comedy gold is in the first couple of pages, the rest is comments from the audience

The DFS remark had me in stitches

[FZR400RRSP]

One thing that doesn't appear to have been covered, perhaps I'm wrong.
But let's say his name is Frank Smith.

"Hello, I'd like to enquire about seat 12A"
"Sorry sir, that seat isn't available for sale"
"Oh....ok, I'll have another ticket please"
"Ok, can I have your name sir?"
"Frank Smith"

Surely the phone operative's next comment should have been:

"That's the same name that's against the original seat, sir...I don't suppose you're the same Frank Smith?"

[everett_psycho]

brilliant

that's gone out on e-mail straight away

as good as it was it's not quite up to the lever of a particular persons chair smelling that was on here a few weeks back, that was pure gold

[jp_bl_68]

What a plum.

To be fair Frank Smith is probably a very common name mate, so doubt it.

[jp_bl_68]

But what are the chances that 2 Frank Smiths are both trying to buy the same seat for a Charlton match?

I'm really confused I thought his name was Stu so who is this Frank Smith and how come he has Stu's season ticket seat?

and if he has stus season ticket why does he need another seat as well. are these the only 2 going to this game?

Cant be, surely all 2 charlton fans cant be at the same match.

[MrSmiley]

Hilarious...

Read through until he realised

[dazza74]

Fantastic thread, page 5 is my favourite when the penny finally drops. The Restaurant scenario seems to be the clincher.

[JimmyHart]

haha what a spanner. Why would he even think he needs to get a ticket for the game? I'm hoping he's just borrowed the season off someone and has never used one before and thinks you have to produce it at the ticket office to get a paper ticket. Otherwise, I feel for any kids he may have

Brilliant. Takes about 5 minutes to read the relevant few pages and well worth it.

[IAN P]

He gets a bit emotional doesn't he! It's all over the web, aaghh, delete the thread etc. Take it on the chin fella'.


There'll be t-shirts made just you watch.

[JohnG]

I'm sure this must be a wind up. Surely if he's that stupid he would have tried to buy his seat ticket for every other home game as well - or am I missing something

That's what I found really odd. He says it's his first season ticket in years, so he made a mistake, but what about the rest of the season? Unless it's not his and he's borrowed it off someone.
