Fair play to them for holding their hands up for the cock-up, but they've had months to get the ticket sales set up. It took them almost three months to start selling memberships, despite us being promoted as champions, pre-season ticket sales were a bit of a farce and even buying a membership isn't easy (one of juniors mates spent three days on the phone and email trying to sort his, he almost gave up).
Buying a membership is like, as a friend described to me who was trying to get one with us, 'trying to get tickets for CSK Moscow in the 1950's!'
