Michael Season tickets are not really an option for me I'm afraid as I rarely go to more than 8 games a season, mostly away and mostly in the south. I have no problem at all with season ticket holders getting priority over the likes of me, my only gripe is that I've been going to games for about 20 years now, never had a season ticket (home or away) and this is the first season for ages where I have had any real trouble getting tickets.
I'd like to think this is because we are doing well now and demand is therefore higher but in reality I think its more down to the randomness of the allocation.
