Just read it - don't really care what the EPL or club rules are on away fans in the home areas - if they behave I'm sure as hell not going to report them.

I’m much more irritated by the regular twats quite openly vaping two rows in front of me where the stewards do nothing than by a (e.g.) Spurs fan sitting quietly and not bothering anyone

Wet Sham my first away game for some time. I presume the ticket will appear in my google wallet? Am I correct?

“Any supporter found to be passing on away tickets will be subject to a match ban as per the club's sanction policy”.

Would the loss of all loyalty points, kill this stone dead?


Regarding away fans throughout the Amex, is that an about turn by the club from say 5 years ago? I had the PB/stewards thing had been to come down hard on Albion supporters showing belligerence to alleged away fans in home stands? Part of the we’re a touchy-feely friendly club.

You will be sent an email a couple of days before the game with the digital ticket attached which you can then download to your wallet
Thanks! Appreciated :)

Well, quite. I couldn't as I would be a hypocrite, having attended Albion away matches in home ends before.

It probably would.

However I assume the club need to be seen as applying the same sanction on every idiot who breaches this rule, and a loss of 400 points for once person against the loss of 200 points for another person may not seem fair.

Genuinely amazed some people are still risking passing on away tickets.

“Sadly, we're finding a number of supporters are still passing on away match tickets, as this season there have been several arrests and ejections of supporters whose details don't match the ticket owner’s details.

As a result we're now be forced to reintroduce random ID checks at away turnstiles moving forward; and some tickets will randomly be retained and held for collection at away grounds with matching photo ID required for collection and entry.

All fans are reminded that away match tickets are for the sole use of the assigned owner, and the reason being those supporters who are attending games without the sufficient loyalty points are blocking legitimate attendees from buying.

Any supporter found to be passing on away tickets will be subject to a match ban as per our sanction policy.

We'd like to apologise to the vast majority of our supporters, who adhere with our ticket loyalty scheme, for the inconvenience this causes.”

I think it would be overly harsh. I’m sure every season ticket holder gets the usual big 6 twats contacting them asking ‘if they can get any tickets for the Utd game’ or whatever. The sensible thing is to say no, but I get why people sometimes pass their tickets to friend like this if they can’t go.

There is a big difference between somebody standing up and singing or celebrating a goal for the away team in the North Stand to somebody quietly sitting on their hands with the son or daughter in the East. In my opinion.

Life bans might be equitable. But favour the 80 year olds.

That away ticket hogger keeping a single ticket opportunity within their family/mates, prevent others getting a look in. London games particularly. With the other cheating spin off of harvesting points for eg if we had an away game in Europe in a small stadium (touch wood).

If Bloom really enforces this, it should open up opportunities for others.

@Commander was talking about away fans in our home end not our away fans passing tickets on ?

The latter must be a very tiny minority
