I don't think it's quite as simple as that

I was caught out by this because last season I was left with an U12 ticket to use because my cousin lost interest. Despite my boyish good looks even I couldn't get in with an U12 ticket so whenever I could made it I would get an adult upgrade or do the buy back whatsit. Either way the club did quite well out of the situation as they made a profit on upgraded season tickets or still got the revenue through the buy back scheme. I admit I was hoping to do this again this season as it was flexible for me but didn't disadvantage the club, but when asked for ID I explained and the club very helpfully upgraded the season ticket to an adult in my name at the early bird renewal rate.

Anyway, my point is that although there obviously are some fans who are just cheating the system, it's a bit unfair to say they were all defrauding the club. I certainly don't feel like I was.
