Banned for Season Ticket Misuse? (Club statement)

[Mark Jenkin]

Is there any chance that Adams could be banned for misuse of substitutions?

Several ways.

1) Using a child's when you're over age.

2) Using an OAP's when you're under age.

3) Pretending you're disabled.

4) Pretending you're a disable carer

You'd be amazed how many ruses are used when applying for tickets.

Is it out of order to say, let someone else use a child's U18 ticket if they're too young for evening games, stuff like that?

I'd do that. But if a person aged (say) 27 is using a Under 18 ticket, I think that would lead to trouble.

He used a carers ticket with no person who he cares for. He did also stick the sticker and tried to make out it was for this but then it came to light.

It's very harsh but I guess they are making a point. If everyone did it what would happen to the club. And the fact he did the sticker probably didn't help him

 

[Steve Evans]

were the two blokes thrown out at half time just to the right of the spion kop part of this?

 

[IJN]

Very harsh????? Using a carers ticket??????? Are you kidding?

Vile thing to do.

 

[katkin]

Don't think so. I heard they were meant to be in lyndhurst but sitting in Devonport. And refused to move or show their tickets when asked. That's what I was told anyway

So one of the main people asking JB to put his hand in his pocket doesn't actually put his hand in his pocket himself and instead rips off the club and passes it off as being banned for placing a sticker.

Yeah course, but then obviously you'd be looking at the turnstile operator there......

So basically as long as the seat is being used by someone who fits the bill regarding categories it's not frowned upon?

 

[katkin]

Yep but apparently he spent £80 on diesel up to Wigan so that's ok

Exactly and the rest ...

I would have thought it's against the rules mate, but I doubt as one off, how would be it be policed? Technically tickets always so 'no transfers' don't they?

However, using a carers card, or even worse, pretending you're a carer is obviously a serious abuse of both the club and all disabled fans who enjoy the 'initiative'.

 

[Mark Jenkin]

Out of interest, if a carer goes every week with the disabled fan, are they still entitled to entry if the disabled fan can't attend one week?

 

[katkin]

I'm fairly sure last season at least there was thing about u18 tickets on a evening match. Would need to read this years to know but probably still in there.

I think you could upgrade it to an adult possibly.

Season ticket abuse otherwise should be punished

What is this free chat Facebook thingy?

John LLoyd's group. Not good.

I think on the the whole it’s a very good group. Mixed age range and some excellent posts. You do get some ridiculous ones too mind. But don’t all groups? Like I’ve said before I like to participate in several forums, it gives you a rounded view of things overall.

I would assume they could notify the club and possible be asked to upgrade to an adult. This would be the sensible option
