I absolutely wasn't suggesting this was the latest of many times you'd done this but, as you say, the club have no way of knowing that. It doesn't change my view that the punishment handed out feels incredibly harsh.

Technically there is harvesting of points here... Son A is in the top tier. Son A buys the ticket. Son A accrues points. Son B goes to the game instead. Son A retains/strengthens his position in the top tier despite not going to the game. Decision-makers / appeals panel at the club could well...

Neither of these (bold emphasis mine) took place for the Wolves fixture: It has come to our attention this season that away tickets are increasingly being passed on to other supporters who are ineligible to purchase. This results in supporters who are not attending games gaining loyalty points...

Whilst what you have done has broken the letter of the "law" the club have put in place, and for good reason, you clearly have not broken the spirit of it based on your version of events... - Anyone could buy tickets for this game, so no other fans were disadvantaged, nor did anyone who wished...

Your attack on me couldn't be further from the truth. After I opened twitter, saw his tweet, and posted it on here I went back the following day and read through all the various replies to him, and his replies back to those who had asked him about what had happened. I read far more then than I...

Not entirely sure that snarky response was warranted. You were the one casting aspersions on someone, and I just wanted to say that my view differs. If you look at the chap's numerous responses to people who have interacted with him, the story is all there I think, and it seems he just decided...

Having had quite a lengthy (text-based) discussion with him since I first saw the tweet, I really don't think that's the case at all.

I'm not sure you've missed anything. I believe the punishment was served on him as it was his ticket that was used by someone else, although he didn't know about any of this until after the event due to the way F&F ticket purchases work. It sounds like the club acknowledged this - presumably...

I posted this on the relevant thread at the time, but I contacted the club about Brentford tickets as something did seem amiss as you say. This was the reply: Firstly just to confirm at 9am we still had tickets left for Brentford. We were however aware of eligible fans holding seats online for...

Two things which overlap a bit... 1. Fans who are in a high tier for away game ticket sales who buy away tickets and let someone else use them. Fan A (who is high priority) is happy as he earns more loyalty points, enabling him to retain a position at the front of the queue. Fan B (who uses the...

I don't think it's unlikely that son tells Dad he's going to <insert away game here> with his girlfriend and Dad doesn't think much more about it than that. From a quick snoop, I can see that Dad runs a very well-regarded local business (and from a further search, produces a product you have...

I guess there are two points... 1. He may not have been aware of the rule. A LOT of stuff comes out from the club, and some of it is easy to miss. I rarely visit the official club site, I never see emails from the club either (no idea if they send them or they just end up in Promotions/Spam...

The rule is: Any supporter found to be passing on away tickets will be subject to a ten-home match ban, during that time the excluded supporter will not be able to purchase away tickets and a 50-point loyalty point deduction will be made. I guess you could make the case that the son passed on...

My 12-y-o has a debit card and can buy stuff online. He doesn't have a girlfriend and I wouldn't let him travel far and wide on an away day, but the payment part of the process wouldn't be a problem for him.

Not entirely sure if you're being serious... https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/new-away-fan-id-ticketing-system.396829/

The club are following through... ...feel for the chap involved here, given the circumstances.
