I disagree. For me it’s not about a flare or swearing. I had some over-excited lairy teenage bellends in front of me at Everton a few years back. They were also standing, squeezed into, an area which had yellow hatches on it; ie shouldn’t have been there. Total cocks who did affect my enjoyment...
I presume it’s a more workable system to let them in, and then follow-up.
For example, it might be the case there’s an error on the Albion side. And you’d have to be a particularly stupid person to have all your details taken and then go and cause trouble.
I remember that game at Shrewsbury. An earlier poster mentioned in-fighting with Albion fans, I witnessed two Albion supporters in the seats slugging it out over who was the more loyal supporter at this game. They were both of an age where they really should have known better.
There is a flaw in the system in that unless you log onto your account and check history you will never know who has purchased tickets on your behalf….unless they tell you of course.
I agree with the rest of your post though. I don’t buy it either. Surely the son would have mentioned it to...
