Or are you scared that the club might class this as a collection match and you or your members might have to produce some forms of ID .
Hardly, there's about 30 tickets left and it's not much lower than it sold out at last year. Arsenal on the opening day last season went down to a similar lower than expected level. It's a 12.30ko and quite a few are still on holiday etc. Could easily be that the take up from corporate is lower too so more returned to the general sale. Think we need to see a few more games before jumping to any conclusions.
The lower tier is passable, the upper tier is further away than Upton Park!I'll add to that - no one has had positive things to say about West Ham's new ground (not been yet) and wouldn't be surprised if people swerved it with Bournemouth away and Champions League draw on the horizon...
That is not possible now though, is it? There are no points for away games any more. By the time somebody starting from scratch gets to 20,000 points, those that are on 20,000 now will be on 40,000. You could take 10 years off from watching City and still have more points than them. So what you were able to achieve is not really realistic any more.
When you started, the gap between the top and bottom was much smaller and so it was still possible to rack up enough points from unfashionable games, over a relatively short period of time, to qualify for tickets for the more prestigious fixtures. That is no longer the case really.

There are no pubs within half an hour’s walk that will allow away fans in.
You might get in the Westfield Centre for a drink but security is everywhere.
The walk back after the game is about twice as long getting there, it seems a walk through the Olympic park is part of the away ticket.
I shall see if we can do that in a fortnight’s timeWe park in the Westfield car park (remarkably for London it's reasonable, about £8 IIRC) and after the game we wait about 5 mins until they open the gate to the left and it knocks about half a mile off the walk back to Westfield and the tube stations.....
If they evolve for one group they should evolve for all groups.
Things have also changed for the supporters club over that period too
That's all people are asking for, fairness across the system
I agree. The current system looked OK when first introduced but it has created a kind of monopolistic situation, which I'm sure was never intended. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
No system will suit everyone but the possibility to have a far more sophisticated and, ultimately, equitable system certainly exists.
