I see united are cancelling season tickets for anyone who does not attend at least 17 home games next season. You can transfer or donate if you can't make it.

I think brentford have a similar system and also I think spurs are bringing it in.

Do you think the same should be for us or could happen? What are your thoughts? Do clubs favour the match day tourist over the loyal supporters?

I have a season ticket and I usually get around 10 home games in a season plus the odd away games as I travel with work and go between UK and Ireland a lot. I always have someone that can take my seat or I resell to the club. I would hate to not have my seat anymore.

I am of the opinion that if you can't make it to a game you should be able to sell your ticket back to the club and not be penalized. The amount of train strikes and fixture changes in a season is ridiculous tho and understand people who can't make it all the time.

I don't think that is what is being suggested. I believe the intention is that provided you attend AND/OR resell individual tickets through the club AND/OR sell or give tickets to other people, that will be fine. What clubs don't want is people buying season tickets and those tickets being rarely used. It's not just the issue of "no bum on a seat", it's also the lost revenue from sales in the lounges/bars etc.

I now (since the Sours home game) only attend about half the games because I find evening games too tiring and time consuming (travel down from Sutton Coldfield one day and back the next). I've managed to sell almost all my tickets for such games through the club's system.

I'd tell them to go f**k themselves.

I've bought the ticket and I'll decide when I want to go. If I don't want to go for any reason I deem necessary, then I won't and if they want to start arsing around with saying a minimum number of games, then they can piss off. It's not like we've got whole blocks empty. I know what that's like, as I remember those games when we used to play Swindon or some other god-forsaken team on a dark Tuesday night with only me, my Dad and my brother being the only people in our block.

United are a bunch of w@nkers anyway, they routinely mug their fans and it wouldn't surprise me if they started charging them to use the bogs as well or something.

The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots

You could just get £26 per game off next seasons ticket. My seat never sells according to those I sit with but I still get the refund

Same here. I was told that at the Luton game when I was asked about my season ticket

I think what happens is that the seat sells (otherwise you wouldn't get a refund) but, particularly in the Holmesdale, the person who has bought the ticket doesn't sit in the seat because they want to stand with their friends in a completely different block.
