Nonsense. There are many democracies in which citizens (and others) are required to carry ID, and it is an offence not to.

Yes, that's true, an extra 20 have just appeared miraculously on mine. Still 10 points short though...

But equally important not to over-estimate it, surely. If anything, with the exception of some high profile derby matches (for good reason), the trend seems to be in the other direction. Policing at the Amex, for example, is normally extremely low profile, home and away fans allowed/encouraged...

100% this. Those moaning about infringement of liberty etc, have probably never experienced a country or a situation where real liberties have been infringed. There's nothing unduly "draconian" about any of this really.

I'm beginning to wish I'd bought away tickets for a few matches I couldn't actually go to. With hindsight it'd have been worth it, just to get the points

This is a good point -- but when do they get credited to our loyalty points total? Given that the away match will be first, isn't there a risk that we won't have those ten points when we come to try to buy the away tickets?

Not if they were also STH last year, and Withdean STH before that. I guess that the club must have done the sums on the numbers with those loyalty points, before setting these thresholds. The question is whether, especially with Bolton (which is not going to be a cheap trip, particularly if you...

I find that site hard enough to use even when I've had nothing to drink
