I have posted a suggestion for a new system - you just missed it !
So, to repeat...
- An away season ticket ( maximum 1000 of these ) with a waiting list.
- Alongside a membership scheme where the rest of the tickets go to ballot or are sold 'first come first served.
In effect the same type...
I suspect the club put a thousand times more effort into getting a striker than in tinkering around the edges with this scheme.
Effort is no guarantee though, especially if the tactical plan of waiting until the last day was poor in the end.
