Sure, but in that case there was no need to make an announcement in the first place. They could have quietly gone about the business of banning trouble makers by using the small print.
It might help if we knew what flexibility in which part of the rules the club will be applying. There are many cases on here of fans not
seeking to take advantage but simply using an otherwise empty seat to take family members. Similarly it would be good to get some clarification of whether we...
Yours is a very good example of the unintended consequences of this new policy. I think it absurd that the club could consider preventing your sister in law attending with her husband whilst you recover from illness.
