City Fans Leaving Early/Empty seats

franksinatra said:
We see what happens when season ticket holders dont turn up crowds fall away and your kidding yourself if allowing members on the cup scheme would make such a huge difference. If buying on the net or over the phone is such a huge disincentive to attending that they decide not to bother I hardly think being on the cup scheme will fire their enthusiasm. However, I do agree there is no reason why they should not be allowed to join.

As for not being able to stand non-attendees I think you need to realise peoples circumstances are different and focus your dislike on something more worthwhile. Age, Mobility, location, transport, work commitments all impact on peoples ability to attend.

Out of interest do you know of one fan who attends just 10 games and knowingly buys a season ticket with this intention?

So his seat is always full then. Cant see whats wrong with that.
 
How about penalising ticket holders who don't attend by taking points off. Maybe a reduction of 25 points per non attended game might encourage people a bit more.

Have you told him how you feel about him? Like I wrote in a previous post the cause is the disparity between match day prices and season ticket costs. I would not advocate rising season ticket prices but the club not charging 58 quid in an area of the ground they sell a season ticket for £300.

I can see the headline now 'family member fighting cancer/heart disease/suffers stroke has loyalty points deducted by heartless City.

Sounds a great idea.

Judging by the empty seats at most matches, there are thousands of them.

Best solution would be to have black seats as opposed to the brightest in the league.
