Not wanting to add more fuel on the fire, Fadz was stood with Overson at Derby so I assume he got him a ticket rather than the players section

Overson should be banned for this - someone on more points than McFadzean has missed out because of his clout-seeking

I just miss being able to go to any London or Londonish based stadium on the day and buy a ticket, It was nice to go to games that were close to me as a fan that moved away. It's great we sell out and i get that people that go to shit loads of games should have priority over me, but i still miss it.

Old enough to remember being able to walk up to the likes of Highbury and Stamford Bridge and pay on the gate.

Even when Arsenal were redeveloping Highbury and had that stupid mural thing up at one end of the ground you could still pay on the gate and that was a tiny away allocation shoved in the corner.

I’m 1/16 Argentinian but haven’t been selected. Lauti is clearly being groomed.

I definitely remember pay on the gate at Old Trafford at least one occasion when they had away terracing in the end opposite the Stretford End.

We did too - they served ManUtd lager (in warm plastic bottles which was awful). All I remember was getting beat and them singing the Ben Sheaf song about Brian McCLair.

Yes, first time my mate and I went on our own to an away game at OT, was £2.50 pay on the gate. 82/83.

Ours was much later and still the same although by then I think a fiver. Would have been about 89 90 I'd guess.

strange at the time, they had the away terracing at the front and behind that was a what seemed like that the time a massive home stand

I think it’s more about the double standards as @GIMOC has explained very well. As he has also stressed, I have a ticket for this game and will always be in the top bracket so it doesn’t affect me at all. If this sets a precedent for the future then great but I’m sure they’ll be arguments when someone gets their tickets cancelled for doing the same thing.

I look forward to you dming me another apology.

How was he accruing points whilst in Argentina? Guessing he was abusing the points system again. It’s no wonder he defends King with his life on his podcast.

Without wanting to wade into a moral argument about Argentinians having tickets. Seeing as I regularly supply my Argentinian girlfriend with tickets and she didn't even know we existed before 18 months ago.

I am currently stuck in Hitchin and will be on Saturday morning, so if anybody last minute has a ticket spare etc please let me know as I will be 20 minutes away and it's probably the closest match to me all season.

(P.s. I'm a peasant with only 820 loyalty points so couldnt get one myself).

Who knows maybe the club will buy one this summer and legitimise his prior attendance, I know Sakamoto brings some in most weeks , definitely been some Nordic fans as well heard the Voices.

The guy is travelling half way around the world. It's 1 ticket not 150. If someone who has the ability to buy him a ticket has chosen to, then I'm really struggling to believe that some are genuinely losing their shit over this.

In fairness whilst I disagree, I can understand people being annoyed by supporters clubs, but this one ticket is ridiculous.

It's ridiculous. Just gives those who don't have enough points another reason to complain about the points system.

Those with enough points weren't gifted them, they "earned" them by travelling up and down the country; all season; not just the exciting bit at the end.

They are. I think he should have to prove no away tickets were bought whilst he was away or his season ticket is revoked.

What I don't understand, is why people get so upset about what privileges they get over people with less/more points than they have. Don't people go to away matches because they want to, and they enjoy it? Isn't it a hobby? In which case, isn't going to watch the team (which is a choice they are making for spending their free time) the reward in its own right?

That's just our misinterpretation though, it should be Marimba which is a bit like a xylophone, although I've given up now and sing samba too!
