That’s true- although I’m not in away way suggesting that 18-25 year olds alone could fill the 40% that go on sale for every game. I’m just backing the post I replied to in the suggestion that there is a large demand now from 18-25 year olds who are willing to travel wherever and when ever with less financial restrictions and dependents. Add to this the under 18 group of city fans who are probably larger than they have ever been due to them seeing a lifetime of only city success and you have a new age of fans excluding any older fans who have become interested recently due to our success that are capable of selling out most away games without the legacy fans- I’m not suggesting this should happen either!
Under 18s have pull throughs and 18-25s have an allocation regardless of points. You could probably argue that the most hard done by group are those 26- early 30s who didn’t have parents taking them from a young age and who aren’t old enough to have been going long enough themselves to be on big points.
But unfortunately there isn’t a system that will keep everyone happy and the current system is as good as any in my opinion. Just a pity more of the allocation for big games doesn’t go to general sale and it wouldn’t be such an issue.
