This is being done at Arsenal in a bid to improve their match-day atmosphere

Messy this is. Can see arguments both ways.

Surely they’ll just give the ticket away or sell it for the ones they do not attend ?
The club doesn’t know who’s going through the turnstiles ??

I like it.

There are people, particularly at “top six” clubs, that buy a season ticket but only go to the attractive games.

It wouldn’t happen at our club because these are clubs that sell out season tickets and have huge waiting lists.

Good on Arsenal for doing this, would be good to see the other big clubs follow them.

Simple solution, don't buy a season ticket. You're not going to miss much. Plenty of seats available every game.

At our club but not at the Arsenal and/or similar teams...

Waiting lists for years at Spurs, Liverpool and Man City, too... :ayatollah:

Exactly Chris, I know a long time season ticket holder at Man Utd (none of them live in or come from Manchester) and he has friends who have been on the waiting list for over ten years.

I think we sold plenty of season tickets for people who just wanted to see the big games

Hope this isn't implementee for us. Or if they do its because you click you'll be attending and not show up. As I can't do most weekends due to work. My games are usually midweek and the odd Saturday if I can get half a day in work.

That’ll be the same “graveyard” that has seen some of the best atmospheres ever for Wales games !!??

Nothing to do with the ground, all to do with the fans in it !!

It's not just the fans. It's the football also. Wales have done well in recent years since the Speed days and enjoyed relative success in international tournament progression which is why the atmosphere can be so good.

Go back to the days of regular 100 + international standing and fans would stop going so much.

When we have relative success in prem and cup finals fans turn up and create an atmosphere.

Yeah that’s the point Mr piledriver is making.

It’s been loud in the CCS so people just blaming the stadium are incorrect. Ninian could be a graveyard as well.

Other top teams in premier league have various conditions for having ST! One is forcing fans to but cup tickets which are extra to ST. Some I believe have ticket exchange system so if can't go can offer to other fans..
