Stadiums are just not set up to accommodate such a policy. It would never get past the SAG.

Chelsea tickets (sold out)

A somewhat offensive generalisation. Are we suggesting eugenics should play a part in away ticket distribution? A sort of Logan's Run for football fans. I personally am in my mid 60s, have one leg, Spinal Arthritis and walk with a prosthesis and two walking sticks so should I not be allowed to go and watch my team play a Premier League side? I am not that senile that I don't understand that I have to stand, a choice I have to make as I did at Wimbledon, Birmingham, Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland, Cheltenham and the remainder of the 12 away games I have been to this season.
I have only been to Stamford Bridge once as an ‘away fan’, it was an FA Cup match so double the usual number of away fans, just remember the absolute chaos trying to get in before the game, appeared totally disorganised and how grim the concourse under the away section was.

I think this guy is so talented so to see these injuries he has been having l feel gutted for him.
It annoyed me we purchased him though because Lowe kept playing him at left wing back. The guy is a two footed winger.
There is a case when Lowe was here we had two of the best league one wingers and yet we play a system with no wingers. It’s a puzzle to me.
If he can regain the level of fitness he had before then it’s a no brainer keeping him. Just play him somewhere in the team he isn’t exposed as much.

But has he got a spare ticket?
I think there are plenty of fans out there whether exiles attending mainly away games or regular home fans who pay at the gate week in week out every bit as deserving. My ticket certainly wouldn't have gone to a "glory hunter" only interested in a one off big game.
Due to the postponement of the two Xmas/New Year home fixtures I will probably only see 2 home games this season and 4 away being an exile living abroad. I will also see that my 4 unused flexi home tickets find their way to deserving recipients.
As for ST holders, it is their right to claim their ticket. Should they choose to pass it on to an "undeserving fan" it would be for their conscience. It isn't something I would choose to do nor most others I hope.
Worth screenshotting the OP and more importantly the reply from PAFC.
If nothing else, it proves, you should not believe everything written on the internet!!!!!!
My point was though. Say 100 tickets make it to Flexi. You buy one and give it away to someone you deem worthy, you've effectively deprived another flexi fan of that ticket.
By judgement you're deeming them less worthy than the person you selected just because you can.
No-one should be passing on tickets, if you can't go then you can't go.
So when we get through and pull Liverpool in the next round at home, you would be happy to give over the whole of the Lyndhurst to the away fans?
No idea where your over reaction is coming from. All I said was a fare amount of ST holders would find it difficult to stand up for 90 minutes. If you find anything offensive in that then I will say WOW!
So basically, you have paid to jump tte queue. The fairest response was argyle should have suspended half season ticket sales as soon as the draw was made.
Willis, I knew before the season started that I would be unable to attend more than about 4 home games and 4 away games. I bought a flexi to give me a better chance of a ticket for one or two of my away games which might otherwise have been sold out before general sale and also to make sure I got a ticket for any big cup games home or away I might be able to attend. I think there will be regular away attendees and regular potd home fans more deserving than me of a Chelsea ticket currently and probably some other flexi holders. I would have no issue with making sure one of them benefitted had I had a ticket. I am deeming nobody less worthy, you do seem to be judging all flexi holders as more deserving however. The club has to have a system of apportioning tickets and unfortunately many exiles suffer. Is a London of Birmingham based fan who travels all over the country watching Argyle away 15 times a season and 6 times at home less deserving of a Chelsea ticket than a Plymouth based flexi holder who might watch 8 at home and 2 away? The system will never be perfect and there will always be winners and losers. I bought my flexi ticket and what I do with my unused tickets is for me to decide nobody else and my conscience is clear.
