With that out of the way, What 10 games didn't sell out? I was under the impression every game this season has sold out have they not? I could well be wrong but I dont think weve failed to sell out an away game for years. Some went to general sale, but that's entirely different from not selling out. You seem to be suggesting that SC's take up the slack if/when games don't sell out and do something unique to fill the seats. I dont believe that to be true, but if it is, i would be interested to hear what exactly they do to fill these supposed hundreds of empty seats as well as what it is that would stop those same people from doing the same thing without the SC getting an allocation as supply obviously wouldn't be an option in that instance.
As for the independent season card holders, I can't speak for others, but I take that to simply mean people who purchase their own away tickets via the points system with no help from SC, corporate, players, staff etc I don't read it as being anything other than a simple term to categorise a section of fans and see no political agenda in its use or see it as a way of having a dig at any other set of fans who obtain tickets via other means. Maybe others see it differently .
