Disagree, if you were threatened with a banning order I bet you would have done the same.
NSC is unique in the sense that we do allow the club to comment on issues via ATC, and we all know that Insider reads the board and occasionally posts on the main board too.
At the same time NSC is 100%...
The club does benefit however if the person to whom you sell your ticket buys a programme/pie/merchandise etc on the day. I find their attitude staggering.
That discriminates against those STH who do not have friends and family who support the club though. There is a real danger that these people will not renew their tickets and so the club will lose money.
Looking at the NSC ticket exchange, we traditionally dealt with 30-40 tickets per match...
This will bite him on the bum though, as some STH will not renew if they only can make 15-18 matches a season and sold their 'spares' at cost on the ticket exchange.
It is commercially daft, as the club will lose out overall.
It is clear from Atilla's post on the safe standing/meeting with MP/PB thread that the club are behind the closing of the NSC ticket exchange.
It would appear that their view of NSC is 'thanks for the campaigning, the letters, the lobbying, the support for the planning application, NOW f*** OFF.
The nature of a PM is that it is a private message in the same way that a phone call is, we are trying to do the best for NSC members without breaking the law, shame that the club does not share the same attitude.
If you take a look carefully, we now have a TICKETS WANTED section on NSC, this means that if someone wants to buy a ticket they can express their interest. If people conduct their business by PM and/or phone this is strictly illegal, but I suspect The Sweeney won't be breaking down your door...

Fair enough, what I (clumsily) was trying to say that NSC is not guilty of committing the crime, no more than the telephone company is for the call that seals the deal.........I think.
It is illegal to advertise tickets for sale, but it is not illegal to ask on the ticket exchange if anyone has a spare ticket. If someone replies via a PM then I don't think the law will have been broken.
Exactly, though if they PM them.....
I would of course urge anyone to report posts offering tickets to the mods, if they did not report them, for say a week or so, people might end up sorting the tickets between themselves, and the club would lose valuable revenue.
The NSC ticket exchange probably dealt with 20-30 tickets per match, so the club isn't going to make any significant income from that, so there is nothing to be gained from putting pressure on it to be closed down.
The fact that the Palace BBS continues to do a similar operation without...
