You may not believe it but they did, several times, but unfortunately nothing could be worked out with Spurs due to the stadium configuration and presence of Spurs' season ticket holders in those extra seats.
Again, I'm not sure why people seem to want to think that those working at the club...
Undoubtedly.
I hope he doesn't mind me mentioning it, but on a call with Paul Barber a month or so back, he mentioned that at the end of each season the club commission an external independent review of the Albion's fan base and engagement metrics, and we're still short of the numbers we need...
...and the club have readily conceded that communication could have been better around that, and I'm sure it will be next time.
What I don't really understand, looking at things beyond these specific discussion points, is how a small number of people do seem to genuinely think that the club...
Essentially it's Tony Bloom's money we're talking about here.
I'm not sure I'd feel comfortable, if face-to-face with him, in saying something like "You've put in hundreds of millions of pounds into the club already, so why I don't see why you weren't prepared to stump up another £30-50k, if...

I'm sorry, but I just don't get this.
We are a Premier League club. The Premier League has a raft of high-paying media deals which means games are played at different times of the week. We enter the FA Cup, a competition that, again, has pre-arranged media deals for when selected games are...
Oh, one more point. Whilst a fair few people have said the old way of season ticket sharing - lending plastic cards to others - was fine suggesting "if it ain't broke don't fix it", I understand it wasn't quite so fine from the club's viewpoint. Whilst this sharing was against ticketing terms...
I've followed up on a few of the points made on this thread and this one regarding season ticket sharing...
