Ideally, I would like the club to provide a facility where whoever is in physical possession of the match ticket can have that ticket allotted to their own history. There's no point in having a reference system if it isn't worked properly and people like you will always miss out on games with high demands because the fat cat who has fed you references all season will want to venture to the big game himself.I’ve never missed a Villa game I’ve wanted the seeNor me, other than Sunderland in 1975 when I was locked out.If you go to more than 1 away game then there is no need whatsoever for you to rely on other people. You can get these tickets on your own reference - You really don't need to use other peoples. Fulham, Brentford, QPR, Reading were all either general sale or 1 away. I wonder if you'll get Millwall tickets as easily if we need a point to secure 2nd place?

Sorry Brassneck, just testing you out. Looks like you are kosher.
The turnstiles weren’t all closed at the Sunderland game in 1975. You just had to keep trying to get in.

First time in 43 years I've heard that story. I know fans that never missed a home game and saw plenty away that season that were locked out.

It was my own fault but I was heartbroken at the time.
