One problem I see is that you use cards rather than tickets for your season tickets. In other sports, we get mailed a large sheet of tickets for the whole season. It's super easy to unload these tickets if you won't be able to attend. You usually end up selling it outside the stadium before kickoff, or to a guy who sells them for you.

You can do what you want in your own spare time including practising corners!

I wish there were more empty seats. Anything that is directly correlated to rag bitterness levels can only be a good thing.

And so is the half time entertainment...except the ball on the line competition that's good.

I thought it was a crossbar challenge yesterday for some reason so when he rolled that first ball I though "That's a shit attempt!"dobobobo said:Prestwich_Blue said:Our corners are shit.Didsbury Dave said:Is there anything else we can self flagellate about this week? The pies maybe?

At least there would be fewer people in the half-time queue for the bar!

I knew some of the responses would be defensive but on the whole, people have explained that the empty seats are mainly due to people that cannot commit to a season watching the team due to their personal circumstances or the club have allocated a few seats for staff/academy members etc and there is no interest in Cat C games etc.
In any stand of the ground, I feel there should be a minimum requirement attendance of 12 of the 19 Premier League games. If the person falls below, then an average is taken over 3 years. A Fan Fair Play type scheme if you will. If you attend less than 36 games in 3 years, your card MAY be resold. This would allow for change in personal circumstances(ie redundancy/illness etc). The Family Stand should be exempt IMO as at 16 they get turfed out anyway. The academy freebies should be reallocated to the North Stand 3rd tier.
