Some may pass theirs on to mates/sell online FV if they can’t go, but majority of away goers do actually go. It’s also not always been a closed shop even in recent memory with home cup games the credits for some aways would have been low enough for 90% of fans to go an start building some up but the issue is they don’t want to do the midweek/long aways most of the ones moaning I’ve found just want the derby, Utd away, Villa away etc. but as I say if you look enough or make the sacrifice like go down on the day a spare will always pop up.

I think what we have now is the fairest way, even if a minority abuse it. Ballot is the worst I think.
