Shutting down the Fishy Forum just because those two twerps don't get the 'reasonable debate' thing is not a a great idea for the majority on here?

We should close this thread. All the home areas were sold out on Saturday and that was the case from about last Wednesday night apart from seat releases by STH and those were all resold. There were about 550 home no shows not resold and for some reason the away end wasn’t full. We are one of a dwindling number of clubs that declare actual attendance and not tickets sold making comparison with other “attendances” somewhat meaningless. As is any hypothetical debate about GTFC and Lincoln seat release scheme. End.

If you can't make a game at Brentford and don't get a friend to use it for you, you have to make your seat available on the ticket exchange on pain of getting a yellow card. Get four of them and you can't renew the following season.

The incentive is you get a credit for the average cost of your seat over the season and the club sells it on at full whack making £15 or £20 on top. Both sides win.

There isn't really much incentive for Town fans to release their seat.

Apparently the Bees have managed to reduce the number of empty seats and occupancy has risen from 89% to 93%. However, 7% not showing up is still significant.

I don't really like the yellow card system. You have to offer your seat by 2pm the previous day buy as we know, there are always last minute emergencies you can't anticipate.

Town's rate of vacant seats probably mirrors other clubs.

The Brentford scheme is so wrong and certainly something that I would never support. When you buy something then it is your choice how much you use it. I believe if that kind of scheme was introduced at our club then I think ST sales would fall.
