No Fulham didnt get to the season ticket holders level even. Liverpool and Man City away did though so he could have gone to both of those. I dont know about Chelsea, I think so.
Nope or they would just sell them to home fans at that price as you say they dont have to give any more than the allocation. Maybe some Fulham tourists, I am sure some Brighton fans with no membership points would pay more for a neutral section at the Amex but it doesnt make it right.
I know they arent hence the word circumvent. What is to stop other clubs doing this instead of what they do now which is to increase allocation or see empty seats. I got one of the last tickets at £30 and would not be buying one of these. Home fans wont be paying £50 a seat.
