Did you go to the last game at Upton Park mate? It was evident that the people who actually owned the season cards turned up that day because I didn’t recognise the vast majority of our end (and I very rarely missed a game).I'm not talking about your colleagues at CM and their roles at the time, I'm talking specifically about you. You were appointed to represent us, the season ticket holders, yet we saw no sign of any representation. You never asked our opinion, you never listened to our feedback, you never took this feedback to the club, there was absolutely no transparency. To the point that a small group of supporters actually tried to set up an individual supporters trust due to your inaction.
This is why Alex has been a breath of fresh air and stands out. He listens, he engages and he takes our opinions and presents them to the club. Now, we might not like the response and the decisions the club makes but at least he's actually representing us and every step he takes is transparent. You only have to look at what he's achieved so far in such a short space of time to back this opinion up.
What evidence could the club possibly have showed you that proved supporters were buying tickets with the sole intention of not attending the fixture? All you did was pave the way for the club to introduce digital tickets, making it easier for the club to restrict the sale to genuine supporters and instead, push these tickets to 3rd party sites and corporates.
And again, I'm not the only person who holds this opinion about you and the job you did of representing us.
So who's actually the dickhead?
I won’t be going to Liverpool Away and I think it’s a shithole. We’ve had a run of 4 away games when Blues using their nounce could get into all 4 games, with very few ticket points.
I’m not really in favour or against the removal of away ticket points. It hasn’t had much affect given the removal of ID. If a fixture doesn’t reach my points I don’t go but I respect Blues who use their initiative to source tickets. When I went to every game, I would work my sox off to source tickets.
I think the Club are taking the piss with the points allocation for the “big” games. They should deliver on the agreed ticket quotas.
