Fair points, most of it anyway (I stand by the IT bit: I've done lots of integration work and it really ain't that hard if a system is designed well. Can all be done very simply with Web Services and XML files).
My main gripe is the F&F system and how it affects home games. You can't just set up an account for someone else as each account requires a valid email address, and requires you to validate the account. I don't have all my friends details or access to their email accounts, so if it's a surprise gift I can't do it, or if I don't know who I'm gonna invite yet then I can't do it either, unless I set up bogus accounts for the purpose, which I don't think is cool.
Before I was a STH I used to buy 2 tickets for every game I went to instead of 1. Someone was always up for it, and often it got them going to games themselves. Given the poor attendance at Withdean I think the club should be aware that they're losing out with this system.
My apologies, KSA, for my earlier rant!
I'm feeeeelin' that lurve thang .....
The IT teams would have had what, less than a week to integrate the two systems. You IT bods take a week to make a cup of tea and charge 5 times as much as you originally claimed. 50% of those cups of tea are then abandoned because they are obsolete by the time you are ready to deliver them.
very good 
At least I'm clear now, so we'll wait for general release whenever that is (club didn't publicise that). Didn't realise that you had to join the White Membership if, as you said, you've been a STH for 10 of past 12 seasons, but those 2 are the most recent ones.
