Thanks Karen. I don't feel too bad at all really but my strength and energy has gone to pot. I've lost quite a lot of weight over the year which probably explains the fatigue but at least I don't have any other discomfort and I feel that I'll still be around for another few years yet. Up the blues!Sorry you have had such a bad time,hope you get well soon
That's the spirit lovely xThanks Karen. I don't feel too bad at all really but my strength and energy has gone to pot.

This page [165] alone gives you enough reason for people to miss games. As for myself, within the last 18 months, I've had gallstones removed, I've had a bowel cancer operation, I've had a chemotherapy course which had to be aborted because I suffered a stroke while on it and everything is now up in the air except to say that my interest in the blues is unwavering but I also haven't the strength or the energy to get there to see them anymore. But because of these problems, I suppose that makes me a bad supporter because of my unavailability to attend!
I agree with the gist of your point, however, the turn out on boxing day was bigger than the Swansea game.
Against the Swans, we even had one member of our Supporters Club choosing to go to a Mick Hucknall concert rather than the match!
Now that is truly epic cuntery! I trust he's been banned?
If you give your ticket to a friend then it will be registered as used at the turnstile so you wouldn't have a problem.What about those who have to juggle work and match attendance ? I work shifts for instance, and its impossible to get to every game.
Also last Saturday in particular, half of the north of England had far bigger issues to worry about than a football match, many were stuck in flooded towns, or worse in flooded homes.
I've never used the ticket exchange(s), I refused point blank to use viagogo when it was the only choice, as they were just touts imho, and haven't found the need to use our own yet. Luckily I know enough people to be able to get my seat filled when I can't go, but not everyone does, and even if you put them on the ticket exchange they don't always sell.
Why are so many obsessed by empty seats anyway ? Its nothing new, Maine Road had thousands of them for years, until we finally made it small enough to fill it.
The ones that attend or don't having bought them?Good Lord. Try telling that to the people who just about manage to scrape enough together to buy their tickets.
Maybe people find it easier to offload tickets to the 'bigger' games.If you give your ticket to a friend then it will be registered as used at the turnstile so you wouldn't have a problem.
The club ticket exchange takes five minutes to use. If it doesn't sell, at least the club would know you put it up there.
People turning up for 5-10 games a season is a bit off a piss take when there is enough demand.
So many games have sold out in the last three seasons and yet look like they are half empty. Which is unfair of fans being locked out of the match when others have tickets they don't use.
All these floods and family commitments that people have seem to disappear vs Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool though as a rule which is odd.
Now that is truly epic cuntery! I trust he's been banned?
If season ticket bods no show without using the exchange more than five times, don't let them buy one the following season.
These demand, the tickets are just so cheap for the season that too many people don't see it as a loss to not attend time after time after time.
