It's still a sell out apart from a specific hospitality package.

I wish I had the money for an executive away travel package to Stoke, Burnley and Arsenal. In fact I wish I had enough money to have a yacht moored off the coast of Stoke, Burnley and Arsenal. Not Southampton obviously because that is nowhere near the coast.

We got 2,900 tickets for Stoke. I'm guessing that about 50-60 go to the executive package as i'm assuming it is only one coach. Not really unfair.

They've been doing these packages for years and they wouldn't do them if there was no demand.

Oh dear. John has had a pop in the local paper today. Now that to me is something he shouldn't have done. That said, he is a cantakerous old sod with nothing else to worry about since he retired!

It isn't even modern football, though, surely this sort of thing has been going on for years now?

What I find odd, is dressing up a bus journey as executive travel.

 Agreed when you consider what is put on the pitch, and termed competitive!

So when the Holte End sells out against Man U it would be acceptable if they put on a coach from town, gave a free burger, and charged £99 for Holte End lower tickets that 'suddenly' came available the week before?

When you're sitting on a plane in any class, you'll be sitting next to, in front, or behind someone who is very likely not to have spent the same for their travel as you.
