I think bloom is very hands on to be honest, but I do agree with your point slightly, we do seem to be quite accessible for middle class fans and families rather than a lot of working class supporters. I don't think this is a Brighton problem though, its a football issue. There does in my...

The club must lose out on revenue at Bars etc, as while the seats are sold they aren't filled.

Because that’s not an option? I don’t think “bollox the club” if you actually bothered to read I think there’s good and bad of this situation. I’ve never gone to a game on someone’s else’s ticket so I don’t care, maybe if most of this website wasn’t terrified of anyone under 30, they’d be more...

I think the home solution that you have is good. Like Spurs, make a free account online, (I just put my email in) then someone can assign that account you’ve just made the spare ticket for a game. The system is there, I don’t see why we persist with charging people for this. My colleague next to...

My issue was, the club clearly publicised they would do this, a lot of the game where offenders have been caught, tickets would have already been purchased. For me, I would slap on the wrist until fresh tickets after the crackdown was announced went on sale and be harsh on them, as they have...

While that is true, I don't think its right they have the ability to do this, Rules are rules, but it doesn't always mean that they are right. What they are trying to defeat is gaming of the system meaning people skip the queue, until they change that 1901 T & C people will still have the...

Except the Clampdown doesn't apply to 1901 members. They can carry on abusing the system (and a fair few do).

That's fine though, like the season ticket exchange but for away games.

That wasn’t really the point I was getting at

Nothing better than £4 Amstel pints in this day and age.

Yes that's fair, but some parents may not take their child, or don't encourage them, I think those who are floating and don't have parental encouragement or funding will be more tempted by the local non-league sides. I see a lot of sussex teams who have 'ultras' who are mainly kids who just got...

Crawley are a basket case this season, it'll be entertaining at the very least.

I think we risk losing a lot to non-league as its affordable, its much easier to get season tickets now compared to even when we were in the championship. Maybe I speak to more people that age, but a fair amount are being tempted over to the non-league game.

No I agree, people going for years do deserve to, but I think maybe the club could have an initiative to help some younger supporters get to more games, such as when there is a surplus, why not do something like a special coach, I don't know the answers but its just an idea, I think the club...

Yes I've discussed there is plenty of ways for some people to grow their points, but for young people who can't travel further north than London for various reasons there is blockers. Anyone over the age of 23 has plenty of ample opportunity to grow those LPs, and travel if they are younger I...

I've explained in a previous post, why this is the case. Its not as simple as those actual point, it does at times seem a closed shop for those who weren't already involved before the Championship.

I think the issue for me that I see is that coach travel is now no longer affordable to games. That used to be the cheap option for me at least when I was that age to attempt the long games. Now when we play Wolves (£51), Liverpool (£60) and Middlesbrough (£65) you are using up your disposable...

But the only way you can keep up with the group is if you carry on attending, definitely first season in the premier league it was a closed shop, but as people got less interested it became less so.

Yes because when I was about 14-18, there was no issue getting a ticket for the Charlton 4-0 and the nightmare on London Road (I think that may have even been POTG), and getting a ticket for the parent to take us. Now if you are a 16 year old on 0 away points being allowed to go to a London away...

I don't think I have ever stated I agree with the point harvesting, I just don't agree with the way they are tackling the issue. I understand it might not always affect me, but I think I have questioned the system when someone in my group has been picked twice (and no one else has), I accept...
