Yes they have, but not until all currant season ticket holders are taken care of, especially ones of 5 years or more
They do though. They've contributed over the of 9 years here £4k+ in season ticket sales alone. They sat through the dark days when that money was most important to us (A&K and the like). I don't have an issue with these people being allowed to sit where they want with who they want. (Maybe +2 instead of +3 - I do have an issue with the +3s being able to sit away from the main holder, but given how difficult it is to do everything fairly i'm not that worried about it). Why should recent season ticket holders who have only been around for the last season or two (when the going has been good) be afforded the same level of benefits?
I'm not a 9+ ST holder. Nor am I in any of the priority groups. I only had a season ticket for 2 years at Withdean and then couldn't afford it thereafter. I want a ST when they go in general sale but to be honest i'd be delighted if we sold out before then. It would mean a full stadium every week and the clubs marketing/ST structure was spot on. After all that's what we all want, isn't it? I'd rather that than a half full Falmer because we'd pandered to the 1 or 2 year ST holders.
