    Whats the problem? If an adult bought a seat for their kid and the kid doesn’t turn up, tough titties. Nobody else should sit in the seat. Club already has money for that seat and its not available.

    1/23 games has sold out.

    It’s a really great deal the club offers for kids season tickets and I’m sure most actually do take their kids to most games and are grateful but I’m talking about the people who buy a kids ST just because it’s £30 that they won’t miss just for the sole purpose of retaining it so nobody else can have it.
    The club needs to do an audit on how often those kids tickets are used and if not frequently enough then revoke them for the season after.

    Yes just got my 6 year old grandson a season ticket next to me, he certainly will not be at the night games
    It’s all about getting them into the bantams family their is no issue here
    Even if we get a return to the championship in some fantasy world we are not selling 23000 season tickets, especially as the price would need to rise a fair bit to help establish us there

    So with the night games and Sky moving matches all over the place, under your idea those young kids who go on to become full paying ticket holders, might attend less than half the matches
    But you want them excluded

    Nope I’m saying if the ticket is clearly not used hardly any of the time or not at all.

    What would be the cut off point
    5 games,
    It would have to be not used at all

    Who’s to say they don’t get them to scan that ticket at the same time ?

    Pretty ridiculous question though. Take it you took no notice of the 20k plus attendances recently.

    Nothing wrong with Kevins response, certainly not nasty, as the saying goes 'ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer'

    Once we have sold all the available 22,000 (or thereabouts) ‘Home’ seats and allowing 10% for the visiting fans as per EFL rules, plus there is a waiting list, then that may well be the time to review the current arrangements.

    Probably not……..however that will be due to Fleetwood Town struggling to sell their (reduced) allocation. However you need a previous purchasing history and an FY Postcode, so ‘eye of the needle’ time if you were hoping for a Fisherman’s Friend! Apparently Fleetwood average just 257 travelling supporters at away games. https://footballgroundguide.com/news/which-league-two-team-has-the-biggest-away-following.html So about 40% of one block of the Midland Road will be occupied by our visitors. Additionally they will have to cover several rows of seats in the adjacent block.
    The reality is that all the seats City have, are no longer available. However I guess you already knew that!

    Once the money is paid the club don’t need to care. Talk of revoking is nonsense! We never usually sell out

    That’s the problem nobody sees anyone’s “ Tone” … It’s social media where people are used to shortening, abridging the written word , but that’s too much for some who then jump to conclusions.

    How many times to people laugh out loud saying “ you bloody idiot” with a smile on one’s face.

    Put that into script?

    I don’t get misunderstood in conversation , a spade is a spade , except when it’s a shovel

    Going back to our play off semi final at Fleetwood, I know there are a good number of City fans with a purchasing history and some of those definitely used an FY postcode. A proof of address nowadays isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

    its been lovely weather as well for a trip out to Blackpool
    i am pretty certain a few will find their way in to the Fleetwood seats
    Maybe the club should have given Fleetwood , no tickets, their average away following is only 250 anyhow, sold the extra 1500 to city supporters and sod the FA rules for this game
