Fair point but a bit facile to equate sporting interest with generational privilege...

... and exploitation. Supporting a football club isn’t the same as exploiting the workers, comrade! It was also the point Kensell tried to make to me on the phone and I can kind of see it but what *should* 27 years of paying for a season ticket get you? Nothing at all seems a bit harsh.

      - this is a board for opinions. (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 24, 11:03:10
        
        Of course. Just highlighting that your opinion has already been said (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:07:07
        
        This is the first time the new away ticketing system has been put into use. (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jul 24, 11:18:22
        
        Fair enough. Just wondering is this a year long thing (n/m) (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:19:28
        
        I doubt it. I think the first few away games was always going to generate ill-feeling (n/m) (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jul 24, 11:24:19
        
        And i guess every top 6 game throughout the year. (n/m) (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:29:16
        
        Because today is the first stark example of how many fans have been screwed over (NCFC) - Jim, Jul 24, 11:15:52

        how would your suggestion (NCFC) - CWC, Jul 24, 11:32:48
        
        So.. (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:41:37
        
        I'm sorry, is there now a limit (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 24, 11:11:18
        
        If it matters that much to you then why are you not outside the club shop (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:17:02
        
        No. It’s to make money. Pure and simple. Nothing to do with discouraging opposition fans (n/m) (NCFC) - Jim, Jul 24, 14:54:43
        
        It isn't clear the reason for £50 membership is to stop fans from other clubs buying (NCFC) - maidstoneyellow, Jul 24, 11:23:28
        
        It wouldn't of been a £50 lottery ticket (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:31:40
        
        Your understanding (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 24, 11:21:24
        
        Then you haven't done a very good job at explaining it. (n/m) (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:22:25
        
        I am negatively affected by the changes (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 24, 11:28:41
        
        And so am I (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:33:07
    - well using the example ingi describes, he is an exile who pays money for lots of away game (NCFC) - Charles21, Jul 24, 10:58:22
      - that was not ingi's example (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Jul 24, 11:08:16
      - The argument from him there is that you already have a guarnteed ticket (NCFC) - Basingstoke_Canary_J, Jul 24, 11:01:31
