Exactly right that, it's all well and good saying turn up for X amount of games but then they shift something to a Thursday night for example and you can't make it, if there's a ticket exchange in place then fine but don't punish people for using that either. Next thing to be brought in might be non transferable ST where the holder only can gain admission. Actually i,m surprised some club haven,t done that already unless they have and i have no knowledge of it. when I got my first season ticket for County in 1997 I read the bumf at the back of the booklet. Seem to remember that it stated that ST were not transferable then and I'm not sure that's ever changed officially (correct me if I'm wrong) . But there's a world of difference between lending it to your mate for the odd match or purchasing one and then selling the seat to someone else.

Mind you when i moved to norfolk in october 2003 i sold mine to another fan but at a vast reduce price without any bother. If you have bought one for next season but find from now onwards will the club refund you or you have to make your own deal with a fan. At the date of purchase no one can guarentee if they,ll be able to make it for the full season. We just hope we can.

Guaranteed a ticket for every game, don’t have to piss about on Future when a game goes on sale. Sign me up for one. Doing the maths on it, we'd only be allowed to sell a maximum of 10% of the smallest capacity ground in the league to guarantee everyone who bought one a ticket to every game. Burton's the smallest at 5,996 so you'd basically be talking about 600 away season tickets available. There'd obviously be high demand but that actually seems a reasonable number to be able to offer.

Think the ones who do travel over land and sea would sign up now if it was thought of as a reasonable figure the club was quoting especially with out ticketing system.

I'd be up for one, i do miss the occasional away game but would save on all the drama of having to try and find somewhere quiet at work at 10am every time away tickets go onsale. Also would feel more confident booking train tickets in advance without then having the concern of not getting a match ticket.

Just thinking though would the uptake be has high next season as we cannot now guarentee a 3pm KO saturday game or a tuesday night game being changed at the whim of a TV company.

Guaranteed a ticket for every game, don’t have to piss about on Future when a game goes on sale. Sign me up for one. I'd rip your hands off now for one. Just wonder whether 1) they'd monitor actual usage of the tickets. 2) whether there would be measures if you didn't use a certain number of the tickets- e.g. if you didn't go to say 3 or 5 of the games would you be banned from buying one next year? But in principle I'd love this and sign up now if it was available.

I don't think the offer of an away season ticket is an issue. It's a) the price, and b) the fact that 'super attendee' status is essentially revoked unless you buy one. It's shite.

Could be more to do with the price as its hard to understand a super attendee not wanting to join unless they feel they are getting ripped off due to their interest. These type of fans are the real diehards of any club and as a PR exercise from the club a slight reduction in the cost made up from the club itself would not go amiss. Not all away regulars will have twenty quid notes used for bog roll but many who scrape and save for their only real interest outside the home.

The fact that it’s quite a bit more than adding up all the total cost of buying a ticket to every Leeds away game shows it’s just an attempt from Leeds to strain more money from their own most loyal fans.

Not all away regulars will have twenty quid notes used for bog roll but many who scrape and save for their only real interest outside the home. Same issue there is for those who go to every home game but can't afford the upfront cost of a season ticket, I think. I don't see why you couldn't operate a mix of away STs and 'super attendee' schemes, except for the cost. It feels to me like there's an administrative faff involved in this which someone's going to have to cover the cost of. Unlike home tickets, there's not a direct or significant financial benefit to the club to selling away tickets. I'm not saying Leeds' price reflects that (I've no idea what the additional cost might be), but you can see why an away ST might cost more than the value of the tickets, where you expect a home ST to be less than the cost of attending every game.

Away games and away fans are a pain in the backside for clubs. They get nothing financially out of selling them to their own fans and it costs clubs more if a big away following are coming to town. At times i wonder if its worth all the problems connected with it.
