Vital Champions League
Yes, but of the 6000 season ticket holders, how many did both Sunderland and Charlton ? Less than 750. Why were these guys not given first dibs, then the ones who went just to just one of Charlton, or Sunderland - probably another 1500, then a mass free for all for the last few available tickets.
Also, if these rules were established up front we'd have almost certainly had more on at Charlton, but there's no incentive cos we sell out Accy away whatever happens and the club aren't really arsed which of their fans get one as long as they are all sold.
Completely agree that the club should try and ensure the most dedicated fans who go to the furthest away games shouldn't miss out on the local ones due to excessive demand.
Many clubs have something set up for these instances, i'm sure it shouldn't be beyond us to have something in place. We've got this fans fund idea of pretty much donating extra money to the club, so i can't see why we couldn't at set something up in conjunction with that. Lots of bands have presales if you are a member of their 'fan club' so it encourages a lot of people to join just for that option.
