250? What? I would be stunned if that is true.

Were they really fans? I mean, buying tickets and then reselling via other websites doesn't sound like a fan to me! More like club registered chancers or Touts as they're more commonly known as

Good to see none of our tickets appearing on Stubhub as were at the start of the season. Someone has taken action, we don't want to load of PL tourists attending matches

well its on club website and we don't tend to talk for nothing with TB and PB in control, I suspect these aren't true fans and also not everyone comes on here or other fans forums

Nah. These are just chancers, or bots, registering, hoovering up spare tickets and reselling.

If any significant number of actual fans had been banned, then guaranteed we'd have had sob stories on here about how harshly they'd been treated / how Barber is a Nazi / how out of touch the club is with the true fans / how they'd given no consideration to the fact the guy was just trying to make back the money he spent driving to Gillingham and back...

I wonder what they actually mean by 'banned'. I'm assuming it's email addresses / accounts blocked from buying tickets, rather than fans banned from the ground.

I'm not so sure. The guy that was arrested for jumping on the pitch at Lincoln was still on a ban, and shouldn't have had a ticket. It was discovered that someone who had enough loyalty points had bought it, and passed it on, which is why the club threatened to ask for ID at some away matches.

Hopefully it includes those that started a twitter account or two offering tickets which included games where the tickets hadn't even been released.

Good work by Paul Barber in shutting these people down.

I suspect that we've not heard any complaints because these aren't 'fans' per se but touts who have registered on the site and bought tickets or at worst irregular fans already in the system. The fact that us STHs have cards and the people refused entry would have had paper issued tickets kind of backs that up.
