Done every European home for the last 3 years and I didn't get a ticket for our first European final for 44 years!There will be fans who despite having a season ticket for 40 years and going to all the Europa home games will have missed out on a first European final in 44 years.I'm seeing a lot of posts elsewhere from people who are miffed at not getting a ticket for the final, despite holding a season ticket through the Championship and circling-the-drain years.
Of course, those who have gone to the European games, and the away games deserve first dibs, but I'd hope that when it came to the ballot some sort of preference was given to those with season ticket longevity over someone, for instance, who jumped on board more recently.
Not for me, as that's just age discrimination. It isn't a teenager's fault if their parents didn't take them to games years ago. It should just be season tickets holders who have attended the most non-ST games, on a sliding scale, then STs, then Members who have attended the most games if there are any left. And domestic cups should be treated same as Europe, attending one European game isn't better than doing three cup matches. Arbitrary nonsense.
I suppose they can try again next time in the afterlife.
To say I'm pissed off is an understatement. I'm going over - hotel and flights booked - but this leaves a bitter taste for me. Could be the final straw if I'm honest.
Gutted!
