We definitely don’t want anyone going to the football for the craic and not the game. Heaven forbid.

It still just seems such an unnecessary fight. Absurdities are inevitable. And the justifications get more absurd. But here we are.

I watched one develop over who should be in goal - Mark Ormerod or I cant remember his name - and that was at Priestfield. A classic moment.

I think a floggin' is in order.

So is this the problem the club are addressing ? Is this an actual problem - or a hypothetical one. If it is an actual problem I am sure Tony and Paul could resolve it without all this. I have faith in them.

Of course. The ticket was obtained falsely. And that was my original point. What harm was done. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. The club has chosen to create the issue because people without the loyalty points to get to all the games might miss out on a game. Or she...

I see. It's a loyalty points thing. Fair enough. I can't get over excited about people who occasionally go to away games missing an away game. I assume diehard home and awayers always get their tickets.

When they get chucked out - take their names and deal with those who cause the trouble, If the girlfriend was doing that then of course she should be punished - as should those who enabled the ticket (knowingly or not). But this attitude that everyone who goes to a football match is a potential...

Sorry. So it's a loyalty points issue is it ?

I know.

Deal with the arrested fans and who enabled them to get the tickets. That is the problem. Someone's girlfriend ? Not so much.

It's a funny relationship with your (our) club. I was referring to the season ticket on which the away ticket was bought (assuming that is what has happened). The ticket is owned by your old man. You want to use it for a girlfriend. The old man wouldn't mind - were it me I'd be pleased. They...

Sorry. Who is spoiling what ? (don't understand your banter old chap)

Yes. I appreciate that. But now they have penalised someone for taking their girlfriend on a family-owned ticket. What is the problem ? No-one died. Or was even inconvenienced. They presumably had a good day out. I hope so. It all seems rather pointless.

I dunno. You bring up your kids to support the Club. They are at the stage of life when they can't afford or fit a season ticket into their lives so they use the old man's ticket to make their day out better. What is the problem. I can see why the club would want to know who is attending a...
