Yes Arsenal have this: 

 WHAT IS SEAT UTILISATION?

A seat is considered ‘utilised’ if you have either:

• Attended yourself
• Used the Ticket Transfer service to transfer your ticket(s) – provided the recipient(s) attends the fixture
• Posted your ticket(s) on Ticket Exchange - regardless of whether it’s purchased

 USING TICKET TRANSFER & TICKET EXCHANGE

We encourage you to use both Ticket Exchange and Ticket Transfer to ensure you reach the minimum utilisation threshold. This also gives other supporters the opportunity to get behind the team in the stadium when you’re not able to attend. These services can be accessed via your Online Box Office account.

Please refer to our guides for more information on how to use these services.

https://www.arsenal.com/season-ticket-seat-utilisation

 

Well that makes it look a lot more reasonable.

Would also help parents with the reallocation of tickets if a midweek game is likely to end too late for their kids to attend.

Have you seen what Arsenal are doing? Obviously helps that they have more fans than seats, but that seems draconian to me.

We are their Academy. It’s just that the gestation period is longer. They have to wait until one of our former players is in his mid-thirties, well settled in the local area, before they harvest. I wouldn’t mind betting that, sometime before he hangs up his boots, Marlon is offered a contract there. 

Won't surprise me at all if that happens.

Have you seen where they are in the League though? They're having a terrible season despite signing or trying to sign, every decent striker in the lower leagues. Real chance they could drop to L2.

Fair play to Carlisle though, having the season from hell, rock bottom but averaging >1200 away supporters. A bit like Plymouth in that they have to drive a couple of hours just to get to civilization. Next up for them a visit to the Mem, they've lost 7 in a row I think, what could possibly go wrong?

 

Difficulty parking.

I just cannot believe anyone would post such lies in a public forum…. I suspect conspiracy on a huge scale

But if you include car parks...

Him and Pring would be an interesting left side.

Absolutely grim

People have said for a while the fa cup had lost a little magic and now after that announcement it’s completely gone , will be about as popular as the league cup in a couple years .

The first of many nails I remember was when Bud sponsored the cup and the moved the final to a 5pm kick off so the Americans could watch it.

Is that JCR News or JCH??

Maybe they have ordered a load of iron-on letters and they are going for both JCH, JCR and for their new stadium, JCB.

So they failed to sign JCR, took on a couple of loan players in January and have posted an open letter of intent that will keep the Fewers happy for a few months before putting up the cost of season tickets.

I wonder how long it'll be until one of them get banned from Gaschat for suggesting that the new majority owners might not be the solution they've been looking for.

Does this make you one of those influencer types now?

Sorry @richwwtk where has it been said that the police requested the kick off change?

Because as already mentioned the A&S rep that attends SC&@T meetings has said on a number of occasions this fixture wasn't likely to change, so would be interested to know how you know different please?

It's from the club in their statement that A&S had requested the kick-off be moved. so either the rep that attends the meetings wasn't informed (probably a command decision) or they weren't being entirely honest. 

They'm getting proper eggy over on Gaschat about these season ticket prices. 

There is even talk of a 'protest' - although none of them can agree what a protest would or could look like. 

A more disorganised group of supporters you'll struggle to find. I think they even have representation at board level as well, which makes it all the more baffling.

Wore that shirt to the 2008 play off final, bought it from Toffs as well.

 

Toffs and  https://www.wsc.co.uk/ are living history.

Really, I thought that was the first match they had lost all season?

Might well have been.

I don't have an encyclopedic knowledge of results from that far back.

Given how many times the club have dropped the ball/crayons with limited edition shirts, it's no surprise that they ordered in limited numbers.

Must have been a surprise to find one that was popular!

How many matches had Super Leeds gone unbeaten since the start of the season?

Less than Southampton.

Can see the web-stock selling out quickly with the remaining ones selling out by the weekend.

I didn't spot a manufacturers logo on it.

His Wiki page makes for a slightly odd read. Rejecting a contract from Rangers after being there since the age of 10, moving to Man City and after a year 'contract talks broke down', Spurs apparently interested and then his transfer to KVC Westerlo for £1.65mil.

It could be that he is on loan to us to get some experience, it could be that he is one of those players who struggles to settle. 

Either way, he looks like he has bags of ability and if someone can get a tune out of him he could be a player to have quite a career, but the journey from youth graduate to the age of 20 doesn't look to be the standard one you'd expect. 

Amazed he has made more appearances for Scotland U21s that he has league games.

Where have I seen him before....

And then it dawned on me, he previously WAS Gary Oldman in The Firm.

31% possession ...

We can ignore that, and the number of passes they completed.

It's the goals that count.
