Following on from my thread yesterday...
I appreciate that some of my comments may have been received in a hostile and aggressive manner and I can understand why and for that I'm apologetic. The thread was started incensed by some of the stuff written about ST holders across all of our forums. However, I do stand by my comments of fans organising themselves and having the foresight to see issues regarding matchday tickets as our club sits of the brink of top flight football.
Since the takeover I feel ST holders have had a really raw deal and have witnessed first hand non ST Holders 'gloating', 'boasting' and 'rubbing ST Holders noses in it' about our tickets not representing VFM, getting ripped off by the club and how they managed to squeeze 3 adults in on a £20 family deal etc etc. So when the club rewards us ST Holders there is uproar which I find slightly ironic.
Do I think the club could have handled this slightly more fairly...Yes! However, who is to say the club hasn't had a massive rush on newbie members who have never appeared on their database; whose to say the list off members would have far outstripped the demand as well, leaving ST holders with no spares as well had they been issued to members first of all. There will be certainly a few cases of loyal fans missing out on this one, off cause this is unfair but on reflection these fans will probably ensure this will never happen again.
If your without a ticket for Leeds or any off the forthcoming fixtures then I hope you come down to Shepherds Bush regardless and join the party and ask about for tickets as they are bound to be floating about. Also I think this labeling of fans as glory hunters needs to stop as we are going to be selling out an awful lot in the future and its a bit un-necessary to keep abusing returning fans as ultimately we do want them to return.
