But why should season ticket holders get two in any event? I am sure some will buy for friends and relations but if you are aware that some have spare tickets don't you think selling those tickets on at a profit is going to be too much of a temptation for some?
Touts always get hold of tickets. The policy of selling multiple tickets just made it so much easier for them.
Add to that that no checks were made on the Middlesbrough ticket stubs then I suspect that forging those stubs was both easy and lucrative. Look on the other threads, and you will see the story of a life long fan and trust member in west London who didn't get a ticket, or the 80 year old life time fan who queued for hours with his Middlesbrough stub only to be told all the tickets were sold. Or Bertie who couldn't get a ticket.
But question whether the club actually cocked up and a myriad of unknown posters will appear and abuse.
Thank you though. My belief is that the multiple ticket sales to individuals has robbed many supporters, especially older supporters of the chance of being there when County play their biggest game. They have tried to shut me up. But people like your cousin mean I won't.
If those whose idea of debate is to continually insult think I will shut up they are mistaken. Nonetheless the occasional kind words from people such as yourself help.
Once again, thank you.
