1) A tattoo of the town badge, The loggerheads, or Gary Peters Face 2) A copy of the Fanzinesigned by Me faginy, WelshShrew, Ant or TBH 3) Using the frases - "Owd Lad" or "How Do Mon" to a gatekeeper 4) Replica shirts that are falling to bits after one season - cleary a town fan then 5) Scars on your wrist proving that you were at Histon!!! Anyone got anymore

I've always found talking in a strong South Walien accent whilst swigging lager from a can is a pretty foolproof method.
If you can threaten violence against anyone who looks at you at the same time so much the better. Don't you just love our organisational abilities.

its orite takin the pi$$, but if sc***horpe fans get in, and fighting breaks out in any way shape or form, you'll be the first to moan, as to how they got in etc admittedly the club could have perhaps handled it better, but even if it was all ticket, sc***horpe fans could easily get hold of a ticket and still get in.... ;D

A giant leap from the top of a moving train heading towards Church Stretton.
It's about my only chance, because my utility bill has an Oldham address on it and they may think I am spying for next season!

Then after about a month ago it was clear that Scunny were challangeing for Promotion and would again bring a few Then you make the simple desision to make it all ticket Effectively this is the first ever "All Gas Bill" Game And no matter what the out come - i will always moan

I'm staying with my parents - travelling to Shrewsbury from Manchester just to attend the game. Can I use their gas bill? If so, do I need to get my dad to sign it to explain why a girl is trying to pretned her name is "Mr B Pritchard"

This whole episode has been handled in a completely shambolic way. This game has not suddenly materialised in front of us, it's been there for 9 months for christ sake. Why should loyal and decent Town fans who no longer live in the area be subjected to this utter farce and end up with the possibillty of missing the game. Utterly symbolic of the contemptuous way fans are sometimes treated at STFC through an amatuerish administration system.

ok i understand.....how could they have done it then? made it all ticket? whats happens then if s****horpe fans queue up and get a ticket for the home end and get in? that could equal trouble this nonsense about utility bills, admittedly is ridiculous. not everyone has a membership card, and they are usually the first to moan about this that and the other when they dont get what they want, its clearly stated at the beginning of the seaon its in your best intrests to get one, but some people don't, and always regret it at some point during the season when they need 1. as for long distance town fans having membership cards, i wouldnt have thought many would, becas use they may not go to all the games so therefore not having much need 2 have 1, i may be wrong, and the majority may have 1.

May I suggest people use their tickets for the ASFC End Of Season Bash as proof of ID. A snip at £5 for a good evenings entertainment available from all good outlets i.e. me in the Telepost Club ;D (Nothing like an opportunity for a bit of blatant advertising!!!! ;D ).

If the club had made it all ticket for home fans then home many casual fans wouldn't have bothered turning up? I can understand the club not wanting to make it all ticket for home fans but this utility bill thing sounds very odd.

As the supporter how to pronouce 'Shrewsbury': If they pronouce it as 'SHREWS-BERRY' allow them in If they pronouce it 'SHROOSE-BURY' they are either away fans or some of the middle-class 'weekend salopian' idiots who stand in my area of the riverside asking questions like: 'what colour are we in?' 'ref! I can see why u never made the premier league' 'I did'nt know Graham Turner used to be a Shrewsbury manager?' (after away team scores) 'your not singing anymore!' ARGH!!!!!! If they choose this answer refuse entry and punch several times in the face! Away fans in the home end I can handle-corporate football I can't

Scunny should have been given 2,500 tickets, we should have made it all ticket for our folk as soon as we heard it was Luke's last game.
It should then have been marketed to ensure it was a sell-out.
Pretty simple really.
I posted well over a week ago on this board that we cannot cope well with crowds of over 7,000 unless they are all ticket.

why haven't sc***hrope been given all the tickets to fill the away end??? id forgotton about that seems rather silly, as when it was announced as all ticket for them, it was obvious that they would bring a good travelling support as they were looking for promotion etc etc, so seems daft as to why they didnt give them the full allocation of tickets for the away end....hmmmmm

Perhaps the club were guessing a few hundred Scunny fans were going to come down without tickets anyway, whether 1,920 or 2,500 tickets had been sent to them? At least this way we will be able to shift up to 580 of them into the Station End if need be.

Too right i will moan if ( and it's a big if in my opinion) there is trouble in the ground and my children get caught up in it. This whole episode has been handled in a completely shambolic way. This game has not suddenly materialised in front of us, it's been there for 9 months for christ sake. Thing is Jamo up until possibly this weekend, knowbody really knew how importnat this game would become. Yes last game and al that, and big following, but when your side needs to win to go up, or even win the championship, how can you possibly gauge it. Look at us when we played Exeter. I honestly doubt that the numbers being expressed to come without tickets will come. It's always blown up and exaggerated bu the opposition, peopel who just like winding people up on hear and exaggerating further. Yes it's a pain in the arse, but better to be safe than sorry. We all claim to love the club till we die, and are loyal and passionate STFC through and through, and if we are surely we should be helping the club as much as we can on this occasion, and just take an extra couple of minutes before we leave for the game Saturday and make sure we have some I.D on us, and if that stops any potential trouble then what is the problem.

Could be the first game ever where touts are knocking out utility bills! Dig out your bills and get yourself out and about around pubs in town.
A: Buy or sell! Buy or sell!
B: Have you got bills mate?
A: Yeah, whaddya want? Gas bill?
B: Yeah, can you do two together?
A: I've got January and February 2005, but that's gonna be an extra score on top for two together. That's Eighty nicker for the pair.
B: Cheers mate.
Hey, get down the colour photo-copying shop and there's even a market for forgeries.

well I'd have thought most long distance town fans will have bought membership cards? i havent bought one since moving back to the UK. Phoned to purchase a ticket this morning and was told that they dont sell Riverside tickets, and advised to bring a utility bill. All my utility bills have a west wales address on them, but was told that would be fine!?!?!!? Exactly what does that prove???

Exactly what does that prove??? that u reside in west wales hehe bit of a farce really......cant see it working maybe we will have 2 havea rethink as to how town fans can prove they are a town fan ( how daft does that actually sound lol), maybe a membership card/season ticket shud be compulsory (cant spell ), but then that way you lose all the casual fans......a no win situation for the club here. either way, sc***horpe fans will probably get in, and some towns fans may not if they are quite strict on the utility bills thing. lets just hope theres no trouble

Surely if you turn up with either a Salop or Welsh accent and a utility bill without a Lincs address, you'll be okay? It's not like a Scunny accent sounds even remotely like yours. From my experience, a few 'mon', 'beau' and 'mocker's should do the trick!

thinking back to saturday against swansea. when i was coming in, the stewards stopped a group of lads, and were basically making them speak, but if u have exiled town fans they aint gonna have a town accent lol but they let some girls in swansea shirts in but our stewards probably wont let them in in colours-hopefully - but still....sooooo stupid ( the situation that is, not the stewards hhe )
