Local bloke ticketless even though his Dad played to 1997 Grand Final Victory

THROW YOUR WEIGHT AROUND MATE: One way to tell a city is really in crisis, is if not even nepotism of the most extreme kind will help you out of a predicament.

That could not be truer for Charlestown big noter Isaac Butterfield, known online as @thebuttsmarn who doesn’t have tickets to the match despite the fact his Dad played for them, including in the 1997 Grand Final.

Call us crazy, but we would think that any living player and team member of the ‘97 and ‘01 premiership squads, would have some type of life right to a seat at the table when the next big round came.

If it helps, the people of Newcastle have decided that nepotism is totally all good in this scenario.

So Isaac, mate, tell us, have you even given your Dad a ring?

Do something good for the city for once and gee up a couple hundred free tickets, marn, its the least you could do.
