    This is old news as there was a freedom of information article in the WO last year quoting the 17k attendance figure.
    Difficult to know how they can re-sell tickets that they don't know if the holders are going to attend or not.

    When I had a 75miler ticket the club always asked me to let them know if I was not attanding a game so that they could resell the ticket. Mostly I was able to do this.
    Perhaps there should be a penalty of say £10 for not letting the club know of non-attendance which would be added to the cost of the fan's next year's season ticket on renewal, and this could be given to a charity. Heyho, everyone benefits apart from an inconsiderate fan.

    I know they do something where if you can't make a match you can tell them so they can resell the ticket and you get a small credit towards next seasons ticket - so they are trying to address the problem

    You do have to give a couple of days notice on this though, and sometimes you just don't know you can't make the game until that day! The Spurs game, the trains were horrific to get back for the game!

    Sometimes there are so few tickets to cat B we end up on a front row or in an equally awful place....travel 200 miles and sea loads of empty seats in other areas..... If they just build the new strand level my problems will be solved!

    Richarlison made his Brazil debut this break and scored 2 in his 2nd match.
    Must trigger bonus payments to us surely? :)

    He is pretty open about what he was doing wrong, and the drinking bit was a worry. The whole team seem very much more relaxed these days.

    There was nothing there that we either didn't know or strongly suspect. It's taken him a full season to recover from Wally, there have been some tough times for him on the pitch and off it last season too, so something has changed.

    He kicked on after prison (poor choice of words?) and looks to be kicking on again. He's something of a rough diamond and is a guy that needs support that, perhaps, he wasn't getting over the last couple of years.

    New medical team obviously includes a better dietician and a psychologist either directly or indirectly. Whatever, something has certainly changed for the good and I strongly suspect it starts with JG doing his thing over the summer.

    Our winning streak is with 10 out of he starting 11 players who were with us last season, only the modest improvement of the goalkeeper and a winger from the bench being the only changes.

    It's not just Deeney: Cholebas, Kabasele, Pereyra, Janmaat, Success, Capoue have significantly upped their game thus far and that's not to say that unmentioned players have not. Something is going on and long may it continue!

    Sounds as if the level of ftness for all players is dramatically improved. From that, all sorts of benefits flow - which we have witnessed so far.

    He was getting too big for his boots! ;)
    Seriously, he has done great but he is making too many personal headlines so think he has been pushed into the decision

    Except in the Family Stand so I can’t use this option. The reselling process is online so they can’t guarantee a child in each party online. I actually made 18 of the 19 games so not too much of an issue last season but a bit annoying really, especially as due to match by match prices in the Family Stand being lowered this season, my season tickets represent less better value than in previous seasons.
