Tier 1 : The Allocation (so 1150 in the case of Luton)
Tier 2 : Top 6000 (minus the allocation so about 4850) Points holders. Given there was about 100...
I used to do the same as this. 1901 tickets, Home end, sometimes managed to grab some freebie Corporates off some suppliers. It's all well and good until the really big games come along which everyone wants to go to and then - like the Keyser Soze - they are all gone. You then look at your...
