How many of us have benefitted by being able to buy a spare ticket at face
value from another Gooner? - Yes? - Oh that will be thousands of us then.
This might be about to change though - Long-time dedicated fan Alan
Esparza, who has only missed three games home and away in the last thirty
seven years, has just had his tickets revoked for the rest of the season
by the club for doing just this.
Read the full story here (http://www.onlinegooner.com/exclusive/index.php?id=111) and please give the guy your support. There is an issue here which affects fans of all clubs, not just ours.
Frankly, if true, it beggars belief the way that the club are behaving in
this instance. Since the arrival of Keith Edelman things have been going
downhill at the club in many ways, but to be honest how much lower can
they get? - To treat a man who has steadfastly paid for his tickets for so
many years so badly is in my view reprehensible.
The irony is that despite all of the so called ''effort'' by the club in
recent years to get rid of the scum that are the ticket touts, they still
continue to operate freely in full view of the law. I contend that the
club don''t give a toss about the touts who fleece ticketless fans - as
long as they have the revenue in the bank I''m not sure they care who
attends the games.
So give this man your support people - and remember, it could easily be
you!
