I wish we did something similar to what they do with the Darwen end.

Quote
The WEC Group Darwen End season ticket will consist of 16 games and the seating is unreserved. The whole of that stand will be given to supporters of Manchester United, Liverpool and Manchester City. Ticket holders will be given a priority period and the discounted rate of £26 to purchase tickets for these games.


Yeah you only get a ST for 16 games instead of 19 but the ST is only £150, and discount tickets for the other 3 matches which are the only games that fill that end. It's fantastic because then half of that stand has unreserved seating for home fans to create a \"singing section\".

We should have something similar in place like this for when we play teams that don't bring large followings to the KMS. Split the North stand in half with those black tarpulin strips and have a line of stewards or police all the way down for segregation and say from 4 weeks to 2 weeks before that match you can exchange your ST stub for a ticket in that section for unreserved seating giving the TO plenty of time to know what seats are spare around the ground that they can sell.

Yes, if only some of the other PL would use more of their £45 million (average) tv rights money to reduce prices for fans - or more aptly if the PL would agree to release more of the £2.6 billion they get from tv rights to the rest of the football league so we can all enjoy reduced prices.... No I dont think it will happen either!
