Maybe they'll have records for Withdean, but how on earth would you go about proving you went to the Goldstone / Gillingham ? Are you seriously suggesting fans present antique ticket stubs (that could have been anyones anyway) ?
Sure those who are at the front of the queue pointswise already will buy, with the usual intention of going (the 250+-ers). But there's probably a more "middling" section of fans further back in the queue who could buy tickets with no intention of going, just to move up the queue when Old...
It is a bit crap I agree. But what else can the club do, when there are clearly PISSTAKERS who will continue to hoover up away tickets just to pass them on, boosting their own "loyalty" points for when the big games come along that they do actually want to attend.
Its not very fair on the fans...
