Who are these numpties booking 2 seats but purposefully leaving at least one single seat next tothem, for no obvious reason? The software should prevent this

But if we don't reduce the capacity by placing tarps over the front rows, you need more police/stewards to cover along the fence and stop fans going over onto the pitch.

The cost of these extra stewards/police is more than the money made from extra ticket sales, so there is not much point. Plus 900 away fans is easier to handle in and around the ground than 1200 to 1800.

We are under no obligation to put away fans before our own.

It'll hardly matter for the majority of games anyway, as most teams don't have large away followings.


Pay it then!
On one we applaud the owners for not penny pinching then when it effects how many fans get in it’s ok to pennypinch.

It's not penny pinching though is it?

It's making a financial decision not to lose money to accommodate more away fans.

Penny pinching is furloughing the groundsman, penny pinching is paying your top scorer less. Penny pinching is shimmying up some floodlights in the hope you can sort it yourself, flipping it up and then having to get someone to do it properly anyway. Penny pinching is refusing to pay a tax bill…this is not penny pinching…

More fans…who cares if it’s 250 home or away…they’re all paying…however, if that 250 barely makes the money to cover the costs of additional stewarding then it’s not worth it…

If you are one of the 250 home fans who can’t buy a ticket perhaps because you can’t justify a season ticket because you can have not make 10 games a year for various reasons then you care

250 x 20 is 5 grand if my maths are right 🤔
I doubt an extra ten stewards cost that much

Perhaps but judging by the numbers, even those who sometimes don’t know have committed to a season ticket this year. We’ve literally sold more season tickets than we have in 30 years and if they all turn up it’s essentially our average gate for the entirety of Fenty’s dreadful reign…

I’d argue that if someone is only making that decision on the day then they know the risk, thus, the club have been clear that it needs to be a sensible business decision.

Why do you benchmark everything against Fenty’s rein move on benchmark things against the best decision that can be made
