I feel this way about people who voluntarily move to Coventry
That’s what baffles me to be honest. I only support Cov because it’s my local team and that was drummed into me from a young age.
Seeing people support clubs miles away, that they’ve only seen on TV is just not for me.
Just to add for clarity in case anyone actually reads his posts, this is factually incorrect.
You can hand your season ticket to a friend, the club has confirmed this is okay as long as it is the same category of supporter.Sorry to add but thought to clarify I thought the club only had an issue when tickets were being sold on or when season tickets were being misused (adult coming on a kid ticket).
In this case, if someone has bought him a ticket without him paying them too isn’t that above board rule wise.
I hadn’t considered that 10 supporter points might have been falsely claimed here. Bring back hanging imono
you have a person getting 10 points to their account to sell a ticket to someone else who hasn’t attended the game
players friends and family are not on a points system
big difference
Great argument, I feel silly now.no it’s not
That is not what you said, you compared an employee benefit scheme where the club gives tickets to players so their friends and families can watch them play to tickets sold to the general public.No, I’m expecting ordinary fans to accept that tickets can and do find themselves in the hands of people who have fewer supporter points but better connections. And unless it’s happening on an industrial scale or involves rampant profiteering then it’s not worth any of the parties involved crying foul.
Great argument, I feel silly now.
I have had my issues with him but I have seen them move people out of the seats at the front even when they didn't have those tickets so it does happen.Just to add for clarity in case anyone actually reads his posts, this is factually incorrect.
Imagine the work involved organising the monitoring of ticket sales for this sort of thing. It would cost the club a load of money to monitor, yet people only kick up a fuss for a handful of games each season, and some of those grumbling probably still wouldn't get a ticket. It's not perfect, but few systems are. If somebody wants to pass on a ticket on the odd occasion, no big deal for me, If that said person kicks off at a game, then the ST holder who has passed on the ticket gets into trouble, which is fair enough, An effective ST exchange system would help in general though.

so you think it’s a fair someone on say 1800 points missed out because someone higher got a ticket but decides to give it to someone with 0 points?

I suppose that's why rules are always being changed. Current laws are not the same as they were decades ago, and the club's discretion should be allowed. It will only be the odd game game a season that ever affects an individual. Re: the young Argentinian fan, it will be one individual out of hundreds who are thinking 'it could have been me' Seems a disproportionate thing to get het up about imo. If the club stopped him attending, you'd still have hundreds of disappointed fans grumbling about other people in the system who are stopping them getting tickets.the club are monitoring it
That’s the argument. if you are to go down that route then you need to implement it across the board. Otherwise what’s the point?
My point is that fans and players do exactly the same thing with their spare tickets, and anyone running around complaining to teacher about how unfair it is (or in your case illegal lol) is just being a nerdThat is not what you said, you compared an employee benefit scheme where the club gives tickets to players so their friends and families can watch them play to tickets sold to the general public.
"why are fans who paid for the same tickets not able to do the same" was your comment
Not difficult to work out, is it?well how is it factually incorrect?

That Wardy is an obnoxious arrogant prick anyway
Gone through life on Mummy and Daddy's cash and never been told no hence he thinks he's some sort of fan representative, when he's actually an insufferable prick
Outrageous when people rely on handouts, isn’t itGone through life on Mummy and Daddy's cash
And I point out one is a scheme designed to allow players friends and family to watch them and 1 is a ticket meant for the original purchaser.My point is that fans and players do exactly the same thing with their spare tickets, and anyone running around complaining to teacher about how unfair it is (or in your case illegal lol) is just being a nerd
enlighten me if it’s that easy thenNot difficult to work out, is it?
Rightly or wrongly, the club has motivation with the home tickets as they want those tickets to be resold by the club to increase income. That wouldn't be the case with aways so theyre never going to bother cracking down.the club are monitoring it

For me they’re consumers rather than proper fans.The feeling that you’re just a number/customer must be heightened supporting the likes of; Liverpool, Man U, Man C, Arsenal and so on.
Outrageous when people rely on handouts, isn’t it
Yeah I thought it was all okay. On away tickets while I’m sure it has to be monitored more harshly. I don’t see the big issue here. If his mate has clocked he’s coming back on holiday and bought him a ticket, that’s life no?You can hand your season ticket to a friend, the club has confirmed this is okay as long as it is the same category of supporter.
Away tickets are likely have harsher terms attached.
It's also actually a criminal offence to sell tickets in any end without the permission of the club.

again you are missing the point here
the club are actively monitoring forums probably this included looking for people selling tickets on
many fans have had tickets cancelled and banned as a result
same should apply across all scenarios not pick and choose
Did the lad buy a ticket then from another supporter?again you are missing the point here

I sold my spare ST to a mate in exchange for a pint a few weeks ago - is it ok to wait for the police to take me into custody or should I turn myself in?It is illegal, The ins and the outs of the ticket touts
