I think the problem that everyone is having with this, is that nobody else has a similar story to tell, meaning either:

1. Your friend hasn’t fully disclosed the level of their non-attendance (and/or non-communication) with the club.

or

2. Your friend is being vindictively singled-out and treated as an example to other STHs. (unlikely)

Given that the post above yours from @sparkie is somebody in an identical situation, it suggests your friend either registered with an email/phone they no longer check, or they haven’t ever checked their junk email folder, or they haven’t given you the full story in terms of how irregular their attendance has been.

Only your friend knows the full story, and I hope they get things resolved to their satisfaction, but surely you can understand those who are a bit sceptical that the club have acted so cavalierly, on a sample size of one.

My season ticket has been next to my friend’s since we’ve been at the Amex so he can’t actually fib about his attendance.
I appreciate it’s easy for everyone to assume that he’s being economical with the truth, but having known him for 20 years or so I can assure you that it’s just not in his nature. I’ve had more lengthy messages in the last 48hrs from him than I’d usually expect to receive in about 5 years. He’s proper miffed about what’s happened.

Deluded, really.

The travel experience (and, er, result) will always override perks like custom ales and pretty lights.

On that basis it sounds like he needs to have a discussion with the club.

Well until very recently we were making huge losses every year, coming directly out of Tony’s pocket, so I wouldn’t describe trying to be sustainable as ‘disgusting and tasteless’. What else ? Sell food and beer at cost price ?

Seems ridiculous....Presume he is or has paid for his ticket for season. We are simply reminded we need to attend a percentage of games per season which even if he has been to none so far he will be able to comply with. Club needs to lighten up over ticket usage for friends when you can`t go. "It`s ok for the elite in 1901" to let anyone go but not for us normal season ticket holders.
Come renewal time I`d guess there will be many who struggle to renew.

If you can go to an away game where you're well looked after with good amenities you're more likely to repeat that journey when possible.

But we’re now incredibly profitable without our ticket money and if you believe the plan the club talk about re sustainability through transfers then it really does just look like penny pinching at the expense of loyal fans at the end of the day.
