A s**t away end full of tourists

Maybe the Barcelona lot were friends of Pep and he got them them tickets.
Some people might remember the dozen Belgium Fans at Arsenal a few seasons back who got tickets from Vinny.
 
The local team for local people days have moved on sadly. Success brings tourists and it is the MATCH day experience. Club not arsed about who buys the tickets. Could be worse and be full plastic like the rags and dippers.

Off topic but;

I’ve not been to an away game for a number of years but I’m always struck by our away contingent seems to have the same faces. Either during the game, Cheeseman’s vlogs or the YouTube guys, always the same people.

Wouldn’t it be great if the away tickets were on a ballot and let everyone who wants to go have the same chance?

Ian Cheeseman was sat a few seats down from me yesterday.
Was OK where I was and on the concourse so surprised there were quite a few tourists in other parts.

They aren't just random seats around the away end. They are in batches. The Barcelona fans had two rows of 10 or so in different parts of the away end.

It is 100% the club as part of some contract or something

As I said, the club reserve 5% of the away tickets for the use of playerd, staff & sponsors. If it's come out of that allocation then the only complaint can be against the dickheads who thought it was clever to wear Barcelona shirts.

There is a genuine issue with whether the club sticks to the 60% they say they allocate to season ticket holders, and that's worth pressuring the club over (not that we'll get an answer).

But there's really no mileage in complaining about tickets that were never going to be part of that 60% anyway.

And if you're at an away game and see someone who doesn't appear to have sourced their ticket from the normal allocations then take a note of the seat and pass it on to Alex via Ciry Matters.

We regularly got small numbers of Belgium Blues - maybe a dozen or so -at Arsenal Away, who were also keen Anderlect fans, It was the 150 Belgiums who had tickets together in our end at Arsenal, who sang thier own songs, that was a pisstake.
 
We're becoming everything we used to take the piss out of utd for. And to be fair, they did warn us. Before we know it, season ticket holders will be forced onto the cup schemes and away matches will be balloted.

In their away ends? Last year two rags with colours were in front of with about half a dozen yanks. Club doesn’t give a shit but they need to wake up and smell the coffee. They aren’t getting to kids to the games on a regular basis because parents can’t afford to take them and they are pissing off long term fans with their ridiculous policy on away tickets. I couldn’t go today due to a long standing arrangement but watched the first hour on TV and didn’t hear our support once. It’s great that Alex puts on record these issues but he did a fantastic job compiling a report after the Istanbul debacle and the club said not a word which was utterly disgraceful. I doubt they will do anything about this either. The only way they might start to listen is if points holders and the OSC boycott an away fixture and not buy any
