Empty seats.. worsening trend?

[moomba]

If people who don't intend to use their season tickets much stop buying them there will be more match day tickets available. Presumably then the price of match day tickets will come down allowing people who can't afford them now to go to matches.

Absolute rubbish.

Why? Don't you understand market forces, more supply against demand will bring down prices

Because if people give up season tickets there won't be any more gameday tickets available.

To be selfish is to be human.

Never had you down as an 'Augustines doctrine of original sin' kind of guy ;.)

Human nature is my academic sphere. Saint Augustus is merly an acolyte of the main player in town: we are what we are.

Empty seats? I think those that didn't turn up yesterday are at the Cardiff v Colchester game?

I'm impressed. I can only dream of having an academic sphere.

He has every right to leave his seat empty if he so wishes.

It's still selfish though

I own a nice sports car that I rarely use
My neighbour often looks at it with envy
is it selfish that I don't let him use it?

No and for the want of a better reply that's got sweet FA to do with the argument

Dream away. In reality, how could the last six years be described in anything other than those imaginative terms?

Sorry don't inderstand, why not. There will still be 45k seats in the stadium?

I am in a bit of a similar situation to Exeter Blue living 220 miles from the ground having moved from the area for work three years ago. I have made six matches this season and missed the other home matches although occasionally the ticket has been used. To attend those games has generally required three train journeys and for Sunday games using up my holidays to travel back on the Monday.

Do I feel guilty? Not in the slightest. I did my time under the Mel Machin/Peter Reid/Alan Ball/ Frank Clark era when crowds in the mid 20s were the norm. It is great that football is now fashionable but not sure why I should give up my ticket from this mythical supporter who is desperate to go. Many home games go to open sale so the opportunity is there.

just like it has sweet FA to do with anyone what he does with the purchase he has made too

An excellent point. I'm off to find PLLK to establish the permissible aspiration level for a minions minion.
