If city took season tickets off people cos they missed a few games a season there would be outcry.
And rightly so, and no-one is suggesting it.
We're not talking about "missed a few games". There's people who have been to I reckon less than 15 games in the last 3 or 4 years (and I mean in total), and yet who still have their empty seat reserved for them. 100+ games and they've been to say 10.
If it was like buying 2 plane tickets so you could have an empty spare seat next to you, then no-one would have a problem with that because it doesn't impact upon anyone else.
But having your seat at the match empty all the time DOES impact on everyone else: it changes the whole atmosphere. Instead of the stadium full and buzzing, it makes it dull and quiet. It's not just a case of "I've paid my money and I'll do what I like". It affects everyone.
