Interesting. You've got me thinking about how to use the exchange in some way.

Good idea. I'm going to contact them to explore things further.

I think you are right about the club being the proper 'agent/body' to oversee security/vulnerable kids and having the authority to shift things around. I'm leaning towards the view that it would be a good idea to put forward some initial ideas to AITC (Albion In The Community) to see if they...

There are quite a few season ticket holders around me who miss a few matches but don't use the exchange. This is what started me thinking about the idea of donating season ticket holder empty seats.

Yep.... :) :)

Very interesting post. I get your point. This proposal needs to be pitched to the club so that it is clear that it can be administered in a revenue neutral way.

How can we - as season ticket holders - join together to inspire young footballers from low-income families and help our club build on its excellent recruitment of youth talent? Outline Our club sets up a data base of young people (say 10 to 15 years old) drawn from low-income families who live...
