The "handful of fans" was a reference to those on here fretting about the decision, not the numbers or percentage involved. Perhaps I should have used posters not fans.
Thank you for your frogs idiom; I think you're a bit slow on the uptake so let's try to keep this simple.
I'm suggesting that the club has a large range of priorities to consider and balance, most of which you're not aware. One of many will be the impact of away support. You're naively...
Isn't it so easy to sit on the very periphery and snipe at the odd anomaly, particularly when you can only possibly grasp a partial picture and possess little imagination, limited perspective, and are pushing a specific agenda. Oh, of course, as you say, other priorities.
I'd hazard a guess that the club's perspective & priorities may not be the same as a handful of fans fretting about the balance of the home to away allocation.
I suppose the club needs to balance maximising total ticket sale income with keeping enough tickets for home fans. I don't know how far in advance we had to let Newcastle know how many tickets they'd receive. (or come to that, how many bargain £10 tickets we've shifted for the Burton game).
